So Rodgers, knowing MN and Chicago are both looking for a HC, is selling his OC to the press?J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:51 am
And finally, we have Erin Rodgers — who, as we all know, hates everybody. This is from a recent Pat McAfee podcast.
If the Vikings get this guy, I'm gonna get excited. Seriously. Read the article. You're welcome.This is a little overdue, to be honest. He’s been around the game a long time. What he did in Jacksonville, I think, was pure magic, getting them within a quarter of the Super Bowl. He’s a great coach. I love spending time with him. He’s a fantastic teacher. He’s incredible in front of the room.
The date on the story, at least at the link provided, is Sep 16, 2021, and neither the Bears nor the Vikings were looking for a HC at that time.StumpHunter wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 3:37 pm

Think about that for a minute...

This article claims the two candidates they like are Bowles and Quinn. Hopefully the GM they get will talk them out of this. But who knows if it is true.J.

Tony Dungy was right. How do you call an all-out blitz and leave a safety covering Cooper Kupp one-on-one with only a few seconds left in regulation? Let the Rams complete a 15-yard pass over the middle, and the clock runs out.
Just like Kellen Moore’s boneheaded draw call against the 49ers, this play call by Bowles should disqualify him. What you do in the biggest moments is probably the clearest indicator of who you are as a coach.

That would really, really suck. Zimmer got called a choker for losing two games after having the lead in the 4th this past season. From 2015 to 2020 when Quinn was the HC of the Falcons he gave up 15 leads, over twice the amount Zimmer lost (6) during that time period.
Who says most of us want an offensive HC?VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:10 pm With the expected hiring of Mensah I have sources telling me that Morris is now the favorite to be the next coach. I'm quivering with excitement over the Mensah/Morris regime.
Breaking News: Mensah might favor 49ers DC Demeco Ryans. Either way not offensive HC candidates like most of us seem to prefer. Hoping for the best. .
The consensus of the board wanted an offensive guy. I didn't really care. I know Morris has at one time been involved with offense.J.

I want somebody who can change the culture. I want a leader. I want someone who builds other leaders. From everything I’ve read, Raheem Morris is all of that.
And in case you weren’t aware, Raheem Morris served as the WR coach and passing game coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. That would be the same Atlanta Falcons that led the league in offense, made Matt Ryan an MVP, and got to the Super Bowl. The guy is not a one-trick pony. And besides, a defensive coach who takes an actual interest in the offense can actually be really effective. Unless you call guys like Sean McDermott and Bill Belichick not effective.
I’m not sure about Adofo-Mensah. He’s an analytics guy. Ivy Leaguer. Former Wall St. day trader. But what about football? On one hand, he helped Cleveland build a heck of a roster. On the other hand, they made Baker Mayfield the No. 1 pick in the draft. I need more info. Lots more info.
