And he may be.  I see it as a different scenario than his first stint.  I think he's earned a 2nd shot and we'll see where it goes.

 

He might have a Pete Carroll like resurgence, from the *Patriots to the Seahawks.  Not likely, but it could happen.  

 

What do you base your faith in his ability to do this new job well, given what you know his past?  Why was it a good hire, not a bad one?

Above all, I have a good feeling about Adam Peters at GM, which makes me less skeptical about the hire of Quinn.  

 

I think Quinn showed great judgment delegating offensive responsibilities to Shanahan in Atlanta and I think he's doing it again with Kingsbury. 

 

Kliff isn't stupid and will get monster production out of Robinson and Pitts, barring injury.

 

Of course, a lot depends on what they do at QB, which falls on Peters.

 

I don't know.  Strangely, even to me, it just feels like right.

i admire your confidence.  

 

We've seen Quinn HC with a stacked roster---to the SB where his D had a historic meltdown, and then to a 3 season tailspin.  All that wasted talent.

 

And now he's going to have a better outcome on a roster with infinite needs and a rookie QB.  Fields hasn't built a roster.

I mean in fairness, Shanahan’s offense completely melted down in that second half.

nah.  when your Offense spots you a 28-9 lead in the 4th Q and the D allows 25 points to lose the game....that's on the Defense.  1 stop was all they had to produce.

I'm certain that 28 - 9 came up in the interview. I suspect he answered it well.

There was a lot going on.  The Matt Ryan sack that took them out of field goal range to go up 31-3, I think, was a killer.

 

They were snapping the ball with 10 or more seconds left on the play clock and they completed abandoned the run after halftime.  Belichick's defense was also lights out that 2nd half.  

 

It was a collapse of epic proportions.  Still makes me mad.

It doesn't matter what BB's Defense did in the second half.  Quinn's D laid down in the 4th Q with a massive lead.  All they needed was a single stop. 

 

In this year's Cowboys early exit, The Jordan Loves punched Quinn's Dallas D in the mouth from the start and then just pummeled them in a blowout. 

 

Quinn has coached loaded teams.  Now he is tasked with building one.
