But I get the gist...KOC may never have the same balance on offense as Buffalo. I think you really got to look at what the MN offense could do/be by watching what McVey does with a QB with the tools of Stafford.
Another 10 seconds on the clock this past Sunday and they might be playing vs Pats in Santa Clara.

Ravens OC Monken as the new Browns HC. Down to 2.
The Broncos fired their offensive coordinator, receivers coach, and cornerbacks coach. And all we did was fire the o-line coach who became the scapegoat for KOC's playcalling and stagnant offense. Good teams make changes after failed seasons while the Vikings just keep on keeping on. Wilf'ing at its finest

Somebody had to take that shit job....Monken, never a HC, is going to be 60 years old in a week. Not the trend and tells you everything you need to know about what candidates thought about that opportunity. McCarthy in Pittsburgh is 62 but has a record of success in both Green Bay and Dallas. Two different things.
Who wouldn't want to work with a young Pro Bowl QB (Sanders)....lol.

They also cultivate quality, successful NFL asst. coaches like Udinski and Daronte Jones...Individuals who are coveted in the league and promoted to leave.
And while we make fun of culture, it's something most orgs covet and dont do nearly as well as the coaches & trainers in Eagan. It's not a replacement for winning, but it sure helps when you are doing well at it.
Look, I also wanted to see the ST Coach go. Beyond that and OL? That might have been a stretch. Ok, maybe QB too. But I suspect he was kept here in part because of the feed-back from that QB room.

In my opinion, changes to the front office should have absolutely been made. Hearing that they are sticking to the status quo is infuriating. OConnell's playcalling/gameplanning and his refusal to run the football is the #1 issue with the offense, but cases could have absolutely been made to fire McCown and Phillips.

And hired.
No deal can be finalized until after the Super Bowl, but Klint Kubiak wants to coach the Raiders, and they want him to be their head coach. Now it’s only a matter of time before the two sides can formalize a deal. https://t.co/GCPPdLUyAO

I'd bet the Raiders want Kubiak to use the same kind of run-the-ball-and-play-defense model for Mendoza that he used for Darnold in Seattle. They have to rebuild that OL though.
last of the dominoes has fallen...

Seems the Cardinals are hiring Mike LaFleur, Matt's brother. With Baby Kubes headed for Vegas that rounds out the 10 replacements. That's gotta be a single season record for most coaches fired/hired.
No Black coaches hired...the shield isn't going to be happy.

Probably not, not after 8 hc openings...
Outside of BFlo, I couldn't tell you the black candidates who got passed over. And if I could name em? I wouldn't have an informed opinion on their upside as a coach.
There are 3 black head coaches in the NFL now:
Glenn
Ryans
Bowles
Some will say thats it?! Others will say thats about 10% of the coaching seats filled by people of color and be at peace with that. Not sure what the shield thinks?
I know I sleep better at night assured that the LaFleur bros are fully employed :)
