What if Brian really is the right guy, with the help of Eberflus. Who many fans wanted to be promoted to DC and then HC.
Eberflus can bring a toughness to the defense. As he did in Indy and Chicago. That can help the offense and they need it.
All fans wanted a younger HC, that could relate to the players better. Be somewhat innovative. Not saying that Schotty is that person.
But he is not a retread coach that many did not want anyway (but yet they complain Jerry did not go after any of them). Yes other candidates were out there. This seemed rushed all of a sudden after what seemed like Jerry was dragging his feet about it all.
But who are we fans to say who would be better, though we think we know. Moore? What qualifies Ben Johnson over anyone else, other than he actually has called plays with success for Detroit. But HC material, none of us knows. Carroll, Zimmer, Chucky?
I am not a big fan of this move. I did not like the way the FO went about this. We known their failures for years now. We will see how serious they are come FA to see if they are willing to actually improve the roster. Or is all of this for nothing, again.
I know what the answers and posts will be. Same old stuff that has been repeated 100 times in every thread.
So fellow Zoner's, here is a challenge. Think outside of that box in your head, and think ... what if he can be innovative and was held back by MM ...
Credential success places qualifications and potential into possible HC success works .
When the hot asst. candidates places offensive ..or defensive success in play with their respective teams
And when that happens,... other teams needing that element of coaching success will much covet a piece of that pie
Its not a Guarantee, and very much hit/miss but I'm strongly these teams want as close to quality credentials as possible
- Ben Johnson - Detroit Lions
- Kyle Shanahan - ATL to SF 49ers
- Sean McVey, Matt Lafluer, Lien Cohen, etc.
- Even such as Mike Martz St. Louis Rams - Greatest Show on Turf - from hot OC to HC
As well as defensive assts to HC as well. ala Dan Quinn, Arron Glenn, Sean McDermott, Mike McDonald (Seattle) ..etc.
