Skip: Kellen Moore is not head coach material

[OGSixshooter]

Scoff at Skip if you want, but he makes really good points.

- His contention is that Kellen doesn't have the persona, the charisma to lead a franchise or match Jerry's personality.
- It's folly to think that a good coordinator equals a good head coach. Two materially different jobs.
- He credits Kellen for his play at Boise State...and that he's a pretty good coordinator.
- He notes that he's 36 years old. (Jerry trying to channel a McVeigh hire?)
- Kellen won't fight Jerry's orders and he'll be a puppet

I personally think Kellen is regarded as a boy wonder...he went 50-1 in college with average QB skills...so he's pretty football smart. But can he lead men and establish a strong frame over a locker full of alphas?

There's an old saying about people getting promoted to their level of incompetence.

Plenty of examples in the NFL of good coordinators who made bad head coaches.
And KM is a good OC.

I don't give .02 cents what Skip thinks or says.

I wonder what he could do for $1.5 million eh Skip?

My wife and I were talking about this concept just the other day.

I would not take Skips word on a used bicycle

Does Skip still have a platform? Last I heard he was tanking and out of a job.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Skip is a moron

 

[atlantacowboy]

Wow. A black turtle neck circa 1988.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He expects someone to trust his judgment?

....now if this were a conversation about Dak........Skip would be declared an authority, accurate and spot on. Funny how that works

If the media Is against it....I'm 100% all for it.

The Peter Principle. Long forgotten but still a truism.

The last point is all that matters. The only consideration that makes Kellen Moore a question mark is the Witten issue. Moore is only 36. How does that play in with the rumor Jerry wants to groom Witten? It seems like a 36 yr old coach, if successful is going to be around a long time, too long to groom another young coach.

Lost me at "Skip"

 

[maryquality]

Skip is a tool. But, I agree that Moore is not HC material.

And yet you found time to post about it…

Sad that this is even a thing

I care more about his playcalling abilities and ability to get his guys to execute over "persona" or "charisma".

There have been a few stale, boring, yet successful HCs in the NFL.

I would agree if he was going to be O-coordinator. But head coach IS about to”charisma” and “persona” …not in the performative sense but more so in the ability to get others to buy into your vision and to smooth over issues.

I do agree that stale and boring can work…but it has to be a natural part of your persona. I would also add it doesn’t work as often as the energetic coach.
