the best defenses seem to be attacking defenses. not bend but don't break defenses like our own. I think Richard would be better if the fossil Marinelli were shown the door. but I like offensive minded coaches as hc's.
I feel like a defensive minded HC would be more prone to let Moore do his thing, without interference, while he concentrated on necessary defensive adjustments.
jimmy did not interfere with norv turner or dave wannstedt. he hired them to be the coordinators and allowed them the freedom to do so. garrett interfered with his oc's and remains clueless as to defenses. that's why rod's still here.
No on KR as DC. He’s calling plays now. He can’t be absolved of all blame. His DBs get very few turnovers.
HC doesn't really need to have anything in common with the players, other than respect.
He was a high school head coach. Basically same track that Pederson had. HS coach to NFL QB coach. Then head coach?
But they had time as a coach to hone their coaching skills before becoming a head coach, and none were limited in their experience to only the QB coach role. And, remember that being a head coach isn't just being a teacher - it is also being a manager, and an administrator, and a disciplinarian, and a motivator, and a decision maker on offense, defense and special teams. Being good at coaching a position doesn't automatically mean a person is going to be good in that capacity.
Needing to know how different guys tick is extremely important. HC caters message for the whole team. It’s actually what Garrett is very good at. Now we just don’t know how demanding he’d be. That’s the one piece missing. It’s getting players to focus on every play to clean up little mistakes.
Did you see Cooper catch the ball after it went through the DB's hands Sunday, then get a little extra yardage? That's why I'm not as worried about interceptions as knocking the ball down.
And that's the thing. We have absolutely no idea what type of HC he could be. At this point, all he's done is help Dak improve his mechanics and reads. That's a far cry from managing all three phases of the game for 60 minutes, and all the hours of preparation during the week. He'll, has he even expressed interest in doing it?
He did it for a Texas HS and said he ran it NFL style. So at some level he’s interested in being a HC.
It wouldn't surprise me if he has those aspirations, but I doubt he expects to go from being a QB coach in the NFL for one season to being a head coach in the NFL.
