Twitter: McCarthy and Philbin Discussing Assistant HC Role

[visionary]

Part of your post:
Question to Plasticman: would McCarthy have agreed to be the HC if he were told he would gave as little control as Garrett did?

I pointed out that McCarty didn't have extensive control in Green Bay. Many Head Coaches have more input to the draft and player acquisition than McCarty had in Green Bay.

Generally it’s a title more than a role
A HC could have any asst do any job he likes

Its mainly so they teams cant poach them for Coordinator jobs, as it is a considered a lateral move if the as AHC

Do you think Jerry had ever heard of Kris Richard? Yes Jason was allowed to bring his assistants in. He had a lot more power than people think. He just didn’t have full power that you’d prefer like determining which assistants handle offensive playcalling.

I do think he at least had more of Jerry's ear than people thought. Jerry asked Garrett what he thought about McCarthy and Garrett basically recommended him to Jerry as his replacement. It makes you wonder.

And because McCarthy made a lot of the same mistakes Garrett did (albeit with mostly better results), perhaps Garrett plans to take a year off to study as his replacement did.

The more I read about the new HC, the more "wait and see" I am about him. I think this new hire might be more of the same, but hope otherwise.

But yeah, I think Garrett had a lot more influence than people thought, given that Jerry asked him about his replacement.

It’s Mike Fisher so take that as you want. What could that role entail?

Because Philbin is the OL coach?

Reason teams give guys a assistant HC role is because the only way he could interview for another job is if its for a HC role and not just a OC role.

If you pay attention to what goes on in the league- and I know most of ya'll are clueless in that regard - these titles often mean nothing.

It also means he's the No. 2 guy, not offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. IMO, if McCarthy is not calling the plays himself, it will be Philbin.

McCarthy aint stupid like Wade was.

In any organization, you NEVER let your possible replacement work directly under you.

You think McCarthy is going to let the lone holdover from the Garrett era be his number 2? Yeah, right. Like I said, Big Mike aint stupid.

Say what you want about Fish, but he’s more inside that almost anyone.

him and Mickey. the thing with Mike is he's a personal friend of Jerry.

If MM is calling the offensive plays, he'll need an AHC to watch game management decisions

 

[blueblood70]

semantics, not important..results are important..

we actually have something to look forward to I 2020, lots of new car smell, not new but you know the new car smell spray for the almost new car...but new nonetheless..preseason will be the most closely watched games then they have been in sometime..

 

[Valkyr]

Well, if he ever becomes interim HC, we can call him "Phoolbin".

That’s what I thought

[plasticman]

yes. Where do you think hudson houck, Mike Pope, Jimmy Robinson, john garrett etc. came from.

All the coaches? You are saying Garrett hired all of the other coaches?

 

[visionary]

I did...

hopefully that clarified for you that we were talking about authority to sign assistants and not player acquisition

I am saying from the time he signed here he put in his offense and brought in whoever he wanted essentially for most of his time on the offense.
