Is this guy the top candidate right now for the head coaching position? I would have to think based on our team need, fit, and upside...he'd be the guy

Brian Daboll has to be a consideration.

Daboll being a Canadian has a certain appeal.

Now you are speaking my language. I made a post a while about him and how he could be an intriguing choice. A lot if experience with LaFleur and Shanahan, favors a ball controlled smash mouth type of game, has experience calling plays, caoched many positions on offense, plus has MN roots
Yeah, he’s looked good in TN. If he picked up anything from Vrabel that would be a major plus. I was t sold on Vrabel when he came to town bit he’s a damn good coach.

Of proven guys, Peterson seems to make the most sense.  Can utilize a dangerous offense, bring in a proven D Coordinator.  

Most importantly, is innovative enough to make Carson Wentz and Nick Foles successful. He outcoached the pants off Zimmer in that NFCCG. 

I would love Doug Pederson, I think we are an instant playoff contender with him at the helm. draft a pass rusher and get Danielle back

I dont know that I would be spending much on a pass rusher when our DBs and LBs are as bad as they are. I would say maybe look for a stud IOL or IDL player and hope the we can develop some o of the talent we have on the ends already on the roster.  We need to be able to move the LOS on offense as well as stacking and holding it on D.  Until we can win those short yardage plays we arent going anywhere IMO.

Likely top 10 pick.

Lots of young talent.

Great capologist.

More than patient ownership.

Cherry job.


You forgot top 3 stadium and top 2 team facilities

Left off GM too. I'm leaning towards talent isn't the issue.

I’d be really torn on Pedersen. On the one hand yes he’s won a ring and looked great at times in Philly. On the other hand, he’s been out of the league for a couple years.

His resume isn’t that dissimilar from Mike McCarthy who took a couple years off and is now having success in Dallas. But would anyone here want Big Mike as our coach? I wouldn’t hate Pederson, I’m just not sold yet. 

David Shaw or Matt Campbell would be big yesses for me.

Just please get an offensive-minded HC. It’s the way the league is going. Resistance is futile.

I am not sold on Pedersen either.  I give Frank Riech - OC - credit for getting a career backup in Foles to win a SB with the RPO that destroyed Zimmer's Defense.

I got no issues with Pederson being a top contender for the job...There's another potential candidate out there that Guru touched on. One that I think is going to get a lot of attention and could be a good fit here...

The OC for GB - Hackett.

Bum g.m.  If they don't ditch Rick the cycle of being around .500 and pretending  instead of contending will continue imo.

I was higher on Daboll last season. He's all but abandoned using his RBs this season & the Buffalo offense is more predictable because of it.

This is why the Wilf's (and Spelly for now) can sit back and watch the coaching jobs that the other teams do..especially into the playoffs where the cream rises to the top in coaching as well.  

Back about 6 weeks ago there was a thread about potential coaches for us for 2022.  Even in 6 weeks a lot has changed with some of the top candidates like Brady (fired by Carolina).  Kellen Moore was prob the hottest and Dak/Cowboys were rolling but have come to grind the last few weeks, Daboll was hot after last season and not so much so far this season.  

Again, this is a premier HC position and we will be able to get anyone we want.

Read this after I posted the same later.  Not sold on Pedersen at all.

In the proven category that many are bringing up on this thread is a name we all know??

Pat Shurmur our former Assistant Coach of the year for getting Case and the offense to the NFC Champ game vs Pedersen.  

Thoughts on Shurmur???

Shurmur had two cracks at being a head coach and both went horribly wrong, both one year stints. Some people are just not cut out to be head coaches. I am sorry to say I feel he is one of them.

Never trusted coaches wearing golf visors. Pederson is a no.
