Thought it might be worth its own thread now that Pagano is officially out.

Kris richard is a rooney rule candidate
|
Nagy confirmed he is going to interview with the Colts, but it can't happen until the Chiefs are eliminated or the week after the AFCCG.
|
I find it interesting that we haven't seen much confirmed around Toub at this point, but that's probably just because Ballard is already so familiar with Toub that he doesn't need to do a ton a background.

@JasonLaCanfora
The Colts are interviewing Josh McDaniels tonight. He is a very, very strong candidate there. Pairing him with Luck could be potent |
I'd rather have Mcdaniels out of the assistants listed
But the thought of a pats assistant as our coach makes me wanna fuckin puke |

If he truly wants power over personnel decisions, the answer is, and I am sure Ballard will tell him, no
I don't hate the idea of McDaniels. At least the offense would be good. Just wouldn't be my first choice. |

Also, he appears to have learned a lot from his mistakes. |

Short of that, I'd go McDaniels. As you said, the offense would be good and there's a high correlation rate right now between QB development (and in turn team success) and HC's that are offensive-minded: Sean McVay comes to the Rams and they're suddenly one of the best teams in football and Jared Goff has a meteoric development, Doug Pederson has the Eagles thriving until Wentz died, Jason Garrett/Dak Prescott, Jay Gruden/Kirk Cousins, Kyle Shanahan/Jimmy Garappolo, Doug Marrone/Bortles, and Adam Gase had gotten Ryan Tannehill to being a postseason QB before he died. Gimme an offensive-minded HC. |

Just the same as the offensive minded head coach must make a good decision on the defensive coordinator or you're screwed on that side of the ball. It's the same either way, they just have to make smart hires |

Good read. |

There's always some input from the HC. It's a matter of whether he's demanding to be full Czar of the organization. If that's the case, then I'd imagine Ballard would either refuse to hire him or would walk away in disgust if Irsay made it so. |
I haven't seen any evidence other than fan talk that McDaniels is demanding roster control. If that is what he wants he won't get it here and I'd have a hard time believing he'd get it anywhere else. He needs to prove himself as a HC.

There is not a lot of traction behind Matt Patricia... I'm not sure he is looking to leave NE.
I still like Brian Schottenheimer for our OC, it will provide some level of continuity for Luck and Brissett. Then a candidate like Matt Patricia would make sense as an HC. |

The thing about Patricia in NE is, their defense really is not that good.
Yes, in points per game they are among the tops, but I really don't know how they do it, if you look at their individual stats, which are not that impressive. They get a fair number of sacks, which helps, they are like 7th in that stat In yardage they are near the bottom In defensive passer rating they are middle of the pack, actually worse than the colts Their yards per play if 5.7, again near the bottom and not much different than the Colts. They were not great at creating turnovers. They give up 4.7 yards per rush They seem to benefit from good red zone D, which is great, maybe a bend but don't break mentality, and maybe just luck........opponents somehow only his 22/31 FGs against them, which seems oddly low in this day and age. I know they play in an outdoor stadium, but still, that does not affect the whole season. They were among the top ten in TDs allowed at 33. Plus they benefit from the offense not turning the ball over much, so fewer short fields and bad situations. If you just stripped away though Points per game stat and looked at the rest, one would not judge them to be among the best in the league. I know PPG is really all that matters in the end, but when you are talking about moving to a new team in a new situation, the other stuff does start to matter. Football outsiders, I know some don't like it, but have them ranked as the #31 defense this year. |
3rd down percentage on D as well for the pats, another important stat, again were low middle rating. 39%, 20th in the league.

✔ @zkeefer One thing to know as this process starts: Chris Ballard has been preparing for this search for years. He showed Irsay an inches-thick binder during the interview last year, w/ a chapter included on what he’s looking for in a head coach and how the process should unfold. So happy we have a real GM. I doubt grigson had something like this. It makes me wonder what irsay saw in grigson that prompted him to make that choice. |

Literally 3 TDs overturned, at least, some say a 4th as well. that adds up to over a point a game over the season, 1-2 PPG, they would be close to 20 PPG average without those calls. |
Don't be delusional, guys. Irsay is going to pick the coach. All Ballard or his daughters can do is lobby. He's going to draft a RB with the first round pick too, I would bet the house on it.

I also wanted Zimmer. I see a few similarities between him and Toub. One of which is that they've been talked about for a long time as candidates but haven't gotten a shot. Obviously it worked out well for Minnesota.
I wonder with Toub what his preferences are for offensive and defensive schemes. As long as he's been around, with as many influences as he's probably had, I would have no idea what to expect or who he would hire for his coordinators. |
