The Jokeman Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Last Bills game I attended was Thad vs the Bengals. Great game but sad ending. Quote
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Not exactly the proven commodity though for OC? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thad_Lewis 1 Quote
Process Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Is he in the running to be the o coordinator for the bucs? If he is ready to be an OC I would think they would just promote him. 1 Quote

But he does "check a few boxes". It's a good chance for him to get his name out there for the future, but most people I think would agree he's not very qualified. 1 1 Quote

It isn't unfortunate for Thad Lewis, who gets much needed interview experience with one of the best organizations in the league. Maybe he surprises us and we peg him for future jobs. Things change very quickly in the NFL. I am a proponent of interviewing as many qualified candidates as possible since there is nothing to lose. 18 11 1 Quote

Yeah maybe it fills the Rooney rule requirement but even if they're pretty sure about Brady being their guy after how he performed with his opportunity, there's no way they're not taking advantage of the interview process to look around at up and coming offensive mind talent. 1 Quote
Low Positive Posted January 26 Posted January 26 They are using a completely unqualified candidate to satisfy the Rooney Rule. They're giving the job to Joe Brady. 1 1 5 6 Quote

Come to think of it, this might actually be an interview for QB coach. There will be a new OC in Tampa so there could be some shake-up in the position coaches. 3 Quote

Tomlin won’t have gotten the Steelers job if he wasn’t given a chance. the rule certainly has its flaws but the nepotism/ buddy system in the bro hiring is out of control. You recycle the same garbage coaches/ front office people because they are related to them or friends with them. but who needs another Brad Holmes when you can hire the ex Chargers GM who just got fired? 4 4 Quote
PayDaBill$ Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) No thanks. We’re going the interview route because it’s required. There are a lot more qualified candidates that I’d consider here …… My guess Brady McD are a package. Fine, produce next year. If not, & we get a wash rinse repeat it’ll be time to move on…..

We are "doing him a solid" by giving him interview experience I guess. I just hate the Rooney rule. I think qualified candidates will find their ways to jobs by their resume, not because of the color of their skin. 3 1 2 1 Quote

Yes, if we've learned anything, only the most qualified get NFL jobs! Nepotism never comes into play! 3 5 Quote

I just hate the Rooney rule. I think qualified candidates will find their ways to jobs by their resume, not because of the color of their skin. Explain Nate Hackett? Or Pat Shurmur having two chances to be a head coach? Or Rob Ryan? Or Andy Reid’s ex heroin son being a d line coach? Or garbage Brian Schottmeir? Or a million other examples. im not saying it’s all racism but it isn’t just the best guys getting the job. There is a guy in high school or college who is a million times better than Hackett but will never get a chance because is dad wasn’t a nfl coach or he’s not friends with the right people. 7 3 6 Quote
