Video: Broaddus on Relationship Between Dan Quinn/Will McClay/Kellen Moore

[817Gill]

Pretty interesting stuff, here are footnotes:

-Talks about how really close DQ and Will McClay are and how Quinn is super into rolling up his sleeves and hitting the road with scouts to see players up close and personal.

-DQ has taken a large role in involving himself with making sure he conveys and studies the exact guys he wants on his defense. Phrase Broaddus used was “taking ownership over his defense”.

-Kellen was (likely due to his youth) more passive about the scouting and pining for players. More “give me the guys you think we need and I’ll coach them” than “I need this guy”.

*Personal opinion* both philosophies can be right and both can be wrong depending on who’s the guy doing the coaching. I do personally think Moore seemed to force his philosophy on whomever was on the roster with Quinn seeming to have roles carved out to take advantage of guy’s strengths.

Now that could be because of their philosophies in the draft or it could be due to the experience gap. Interesting regardless.

There's a reason Kellen Moore is gone.

I like Dan Quinn's approach to everything he does.

 

[gimmesix]

My only concern with Quinn being involved in the draft process is Atlanta didn't do a great job drafting while he was the head coach there. As long as his input is tempered by the scouting department, though, I don't have a problem with it. But we don't need McClay buddying up to him to the point where, for example, he might recommend taking a DT in the first round over a G because of the relationship. We need the scouts to be objective.

I just think Kellen was way too green to be a coach in the NFL period. Maybe a HS or small College coach. Was just a wonder boy that Jerry anointed way too early.

I don't think they let him have input in the Draft in Atlanta, much like GB let McC have zero input in their Drafts.

KM must be doing something right, he keeps getting interviews to be a HC. Hot name for a while. But im glad hes gone, time for a new O to come in

 

[Macnalty]

I love DQ but this offense is anemic since the second half of last year, a nice pickup with the WR from Houston, hope that works. This team advances if the offense gets rolling, but that is going to take a passing game that deserves respect from opposing defenses. All of our Division opponents are stacked on the DL and frankly, we are not that strong with our Oline, TSmith in his second year needs to make a big jump in order for some continuity to happen. Who is our LG? Do not get confused, Philly, NY, and Washington are going to amp up against our OLine. Probably the Rookie defensive player of the year drafted by the Eagles. We got Luke a jack-of-all-trades TE. Training camp is going to be very telling. I am still smiling that we were able to draft Deuce.

 

[Havic]

KM's approach wasn't wrong. He trusts the scouts to do their jobs. The way DQ wants to be involved is fine also.

 

[Carson]

KM's approach wasn't wrong. He trusts the scouts to do their jobs. The way DQ wants to be involved is fine also.

This is why players love Quinn. They get to know him, he gets his hands dirty and is hitting bags and running drills. I hear a ton of praise for Quinn from former players

 

[Kalyan]

KM doesn't understand the importance of running game and the impact it has on your QB, OL, time management and on defense or situational playcalls, too many gadgets plays at critical moments, that kill drives and momentum

Quinn is a leader of men. There are all sorts of styles and methods but the underlying truth of why you’re a good leader or not is if your men believe in you 100% and will follow you anywhere.

This is good stuff. Appreicate it!

 

[Miller]

Great info but I’ll be honest..thought Quinn had a little too much sway this last weekend. “Quinn is in the room” was a common phrase like he was holding court. I think this team just runs things weirdly at times. He’s a great coordinator but could be his own worst enemy as HC so let’s not treat him as such.

 

[Knotamus]

Exactly. He forms relationships with the young men he’s coaching up. I personally believe thats the most underrated skill in any employment.

People will run through walls if they trust and believe in you.

I agree. We shouldn't be taking Quinn's side. McClay and staff spent the whole year scouting and putting the board together. Quinn does get his hands dirty but its no where near the amount of McClay's team and while we should value Quinn's input, it shouldn't be the overriding factor.

He’s out one of the top offenses in the NFL on the field consistently. I’m not a fan and I’m glad they parted ways, but hs definitely a respected coach.
