Harris: Durde had a strong interview, is a legit contender for DC

[Rockport]

This is what happens to you when you think (wrongly) that you hold some sort of moral high ground. Constantly attacking and putting other posters down.

Just the habitual haters like you.

Plot twist. During the interview , he slips and we find out he's actually from Chicago and has been faking the British accent all along.

worse yet, hes Dutch.

 

[exciter]

Problem is we've had him on staff for years. What has he shown that actually is innovative? We get gashed vs good teams. We want young and innovative plus actual results. Is that him?

Lol, defense has been top 10 3 consecutive seasons. They were 16th vs run this season at 112 yards per game. Sandwiched between KC 17th 113 and Buffalo 15th 110. The Ravens who everyone seems to think is the gold standard were 14th at 109. The Bears were 1st at 89. We were 5th vs the pass at 187 in large part because of the pressure from the Dline!

Well, let's not totally disregard six years of DC for the London Warriors... it's at least a role he's familiar with. That's not much, but it's also not nothing. There are position coaches at age 44 with less.

Some if the best coaches are first timers. They bust their butt and are loyal.

 

[Coogiguy03]

It seems like the players need a new voice...it feels like anybody already on staff will just keep doing what they've been doing.

Can we have another team's young and innovative coach...

My biggest fear right here!!! Time to do something new

Good points!

Except they’re thinking they can and are wanting to win now so it’s someone familiar with the scheme and existing players or hiring someone else and telling them to run a scheme they’re not familiar with because were not spending 2 or 3 seasons acquiring and developing players that fit their scheme!

Ah yes who can forget those London Warrior battles with the Scottish Dragons.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Anyone else just ready for this to be over?

 

[ksadler1]

Durde will run Quinns system and so its right up Jerrys alley. Not much will change scheme wise. It adds up.

The scheme is fine. It's the personell that needs to change.

 

[Rayman70]

yes that too

 

[Rayman70]

I think Jerry might surprise us and go young the longer this drags out. Zim is no slam dunk.

 

[Cowboys93]

I’m for it. Let the young guy inject some fresh ideas into our coaching philosophy

 

[zrinkill]

Guy who will be the cheapest option has a "strong interview"

How lucky for Jerry

 

[Rayman70]

I’m for it. Let the young guy inject some fresh ideas into our coaching philosophy

agree

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Strong interview? He said he'd work cheap and will tow the line?

 

[CyberB0b]

No thanks. He isn’t qualified.

 

[Tabascocat]

Jerry wants to go all in, so hire the European with minimal experience…….sounds about right

 

[_sturt_]

Ah yes who can forget those London Warrior battles with the Scottish Dragons.

I hear that, but I think I chose my words accurately and fairly enough... having had the job and having had to settle into some routines and wrestle with some strategies at whatever level is plausibly a better thing than being a total newbie to the work... there's some frame of reference to build on... the processes involved are familiar.

Great. Yippee. That's not what we need. We need wholesale schematic changes. Watching teams WRs and RBs get embarrassingly wide open against our defense SCREAMS scheme change. Yes, we need some new personnel but we REALLY need a new vision.
