Owners with Conservative/Defensive Minded Coaches have some SOUL SEARCHING to do.


Recommended Posts

 

what went down in LA tonight is what fans of all 32 teams deserve as much as possible.  On a weekley basis if possible.

 

there is too much competition former attention with streaming services, tickets are expensive and game day experience is blah with all the drunks.

 

You want to keep us?  Give us 54-51.  Give us nearly 1000 yards passing and 11 Tds from the QBs.  Give us the razzle dazzle 

 

I know we are keeping our Defensive Guy so its pointless to say it and I like McDermott and maybe we get the Defensive Coach who lands a Franchise QB 50/50

 

but to the fans of Jets, Browns, Ravens and Arizona...don’t let your owners either speak to anyone on defense.

 

Offense now.  Offense forever!

DEFENSE IS HALF THE GAME. Just because you saw a MNF shootout doesn't mean a more balanced team is better AT HALF THE GAME than the other. The better defensive teams always make the runs in the playoffs.. that's why the NFC is loaded right now they have offensive juggernauts with good running, passing, and defense to boot.

 

I mean we don't have to be dog**** on offense absolutely that kills us. But the teams that are dog**** on defense ain't gonna win either.

Pat Schurmer (who replaced a 'brilliant' OC)

Adam Gase

Doug Pederson (great year 1; not good right now)

Dirk Koetter 

Kyle Shanahan (looks like QB is more important than HC?)

Jay Gruden 

Jason Garrett 

McCarthy 

Nagy---dont be fooled; they're where they are bc of that D.  It's a good O.  But really how good?  

 

 

That's 8 very men coaches---plus Pederson but he has been brutal this season.  And yes McCarthy is meh.  

 

The elite OCs are going to go where there is the most talent.  So it's too easy to say "get the O minded guy for HC."   They flop too.

 

You don't have to have an offensive minded HC (they're more likely to flop as much as the DCs) but you absolutely better have a good OC and staff.  If you have the elite QB ready it shouldn't matter.  I'm pretty sure the Packers will be open to a D minded coach.

Kyle Shanahan?  Was that closest we got to a young Offensive mind?  That was what before Gailey or Marrone was hired?

 

Before Rex. The Pegulas hated him by the way. He was their least favourite candidate of the 9 they interviewed. Hence even when he was THE hot name 2 years later they had no interest in interviewing him again.

Wow, people still throwing this false narrative around?  A great coach is a great coach, doesn’t matter if he came from offensive or defensive background.

 

Two highest scoring offenses in NFL history led by defensive head coaches and neither team won the SB.  Patriots set the record and lost undefeated season to Giants where their offense was shut down.  Manning breaks record in 2013 and gets BLOWN out in SB.

 

Furthermore:  Top 5 NFL scoring offenses in NFL history:  0 Super Wins. 

 

14 of last 20 SBs won by defensive head coaches.

 

There are many ways to win the SB, but this notion it’s only with a high octane offense or offensive HC is completely false.

Tomlin 

BB

Rivera (all he does is win)

Lewis (several playoff trips with Andy Dalton)

Pete Carroll 

Dan Quinn

 

They all had good OCs to develop the QB or inherited good QBs.

 

3 of these guys have won Super Bowls.  

And the list of "new hotness" we'd all love:

 

McVay

Shannahan

Nagy? 

 

I'm not going to include Payton bc hes not new and he might have thr best QB and GM in football.  And with that QB...one of the best ever, they had hardly made the playoffs until last year since that 2010 SB.

 

But anyway, it's not a long list.  I'm not arguing an offensive guy as HC isnt preferable.  Its just not as simple as "just get one."  They are just as likely to bust.  

 

Get the QB settled.  And surround with good offensive coaches----those guys are out there.  I fear some HCs that are defensive minded might be a little threatened by them.  I don't know what McD has here with Dabol.

Agreed...certainly not saying a crap offense is the way to go, but so far the best offenses in history have yet to win a Super Bowl.  Defense matters in playoffs, just ask Manning who set an NFL record for being “one and done” 9 times in Indy with all those high powered offenses.

If we can fix our offense next year we will have that

Yep.. we got a long way to go on the offensive side to be balanced. I think we are one step behind a team like the Bears, a young roster that looks like it will only get better for the years.

 

But it ain't easy getting that balance at the best possible level.

Nnnnnnnnnope

I love this narrative about the Eagles. They were a top 15 offense the four years (top 4 in two of those years) before Pederson took over. The primary difference in that team last year was the defense going from 30th to 4th in two years. Yes, their offense was great in the Super Bowl; however, they would not have gotten there without the defense playing at the level they played last year.

 

Also, I asked this question in another thread for the people praising Pederson and wanting McDermott fired for turning a "playoff team" into a 3-7 team this year: Is Pederson the genius offensive mind that took his team to the Super Bowl, or should he be fired and run out of town for turning a Super Bowl team into a 4-6 team that is struggling offensively and defensively - and the team that was an absolute embarrassment on the field this last week? Got no answer.
