And Quinn, Gannon, and Ryans

Quinn is my favorite of the pack, he is one of the few with HC experience, has had great success and it seems like a lot of these guys do really well their second time around with the opportunity to learn from mistakes

Sounds like Quinn is the favorite for the Broncos job…

waiting for “someone” to call him a re-thread

Is the GM search committee overstepping their mandate or are the just being proactive? It seems as if there has been a paradigm shift. Maybe it's good they are getting traction on the next phase.

Vikings requested permission to interview Cowboys’ OC Kellen Moore for their HC job, per source.

This is the way

I think what's going to happen is whomever the GM is, the Vikings braintrust will then give that person all the due diligence on the HC candidates and then let him chose.....or have heavy influence in that choice. As in a follow up interview.

On O'Connell, he's another guy I remember being drafted not long ago. I also remember him being somewhat of a QB training specialist after his career ended. Again, a little leery of a guy who doesn't call plays because you know McVay runs that show on offense. At least with Kellen Moore you know he is the play caller and ring leader for that Dallas offense, which is impressive because you know for McCarthy to give up play calling duties he had to have complete trust in Moore because most offensive coaches are control freaks who want to run their own show. This coaching search is going to be very interesting to see who they ultimately end up hiring.

So, Moore is an excellent OC and play caller. Promoting him to HC kinda takes him out of that role as he should be free during the game to manage the clock, the players and coaches, etc. This might be why Zimmer was so poor in his clock management. He was too busy being the DC. Is Moore able to be as effective offensively as a HC?

The Wilf's stated the new GM would have input on the new coach.  This could be a benefit and timesaver if the GM has a preference on a head coach that has already been interviewed by the Wilf's.  As Sticky mentioned if that's the case they can just go right to the follow up interview.

My top 3 hard pass HC: Bowles, Hackett, and Quinn. Right behind is Leftwich as its hard for me to trust an OC that has Brady, Rodgers, or Mahomes as QB. Demeco Ryans is an interesting name that im intrigued about.
