PFT: Matt Patricia likely to Detroit

from the first Super Bowl. Lombardi had his cap on backwards .
The thought is that it was pretty much pre-ordained.  
bigbluescot : 1/6/2018 8:19 pm : link
the GM is ex-NE and was close to Patricia. It's also a decent place for a defensive coach, as most of the building blocks are there on the offense so if you make the right OC hire you should be able to concentrate on fixing a very so-so defense.
I'm not too upset about this.  
Vin_Cuccs : 1/6/2018 8:19 pm : link
Strong candidate, but something about him concerns me. Can't really put my finger on what it is.

Maybe it's just that I can't shake the feeling that Belichick still runs that defense, and he's kind of along for the ride. Or maybe that no Belichick disciple has had sustained success after they left New England.

Wilks is my preference. Has been since the start.

Although, with a team that hasn't scored 30 points in basically two years, maybe an off offensive mind wouldn't hurt.
Good fit for Patricia there  
GFAN52 : 1/6/2018 8:23 pm : link
with the GM having been a former Patriot. McDaniels decision is the big question mark as he has a few teams after him.
Pass on him, I'm not into the hat on backwards thing  
JerrysKids : 1/6/2018 8:30 pm : link
something about that annoys me when I see a adult man with his hat on backwards.
I think Wilks is gonna be our guy  
Rjanyg : 1/6/2018 8:30 pm : link
Gettlemen knows him, defensive coach.
Hope it's McDaniels then.

So, you don't like Patricia because he wears a hat backwards and don't like Shurmur because he "doesn't have enough charisma"

Some real hard-hitting analysis going on here...

No thanks on Wilks.

One of my favorite things about Wilks is.....  
Vin_Cuccs : 1/6/2018 8:57 pm : link
....reports have said he could bring Panthers linebackers coach Al Holcomb with him as defensive coordinator. A former Giants assistant coach.

I'm appreciative for what Spagnuolo has done in the past, but I think a change is needed. He's coordinated some of the worst statistical defenses in the league. Including finishing second to last this year in total defense.

Our offense is the bigger problem, haven't scored 30 points in 2 seasons. The league is much more of an offensive league than it is a defensive league. I want an offensive minded HC.

Wilks has been a DC for one season. I want someone with alittle more experience than that as our next HC. McAdoo was our OC for longer than Wilks was a DC, and he still managed to look like he was in over his head quite a bit. This is a big hire for the next number of years. I want someone with more experience leading us into the future.

Ahhh Rivera took the Turner offensive philosophy with him to Carolina. They made it their own with Cam. I’m sure Wilks could get someone to bring that philosophy here and that would be good for our offense in general.

You're worried about a guy who has limited coordinator experience because of McAdoo, so your preference is a guy whose HC resume is almost identical to McAdoo's. Do I have that right?

He's got the last interview because the other candidates are available this week (because they're either on bye or unemployed) and he can't be interviewed until next week by rule because the Panthers are playing this weekend.

I think it's likely to be Wilks also, but I wouldn't read too much into the interview schedule.

McDaniels has also been an OC  
Dave in Hoboken : 1/6/2018 11:42 pm : link
much longer than McAdoo was before he got the job. I don't think any of these guys are the perfect hire, but I'll trust anyone, including McDaniels, far more than McAdoo at this point.

For the last time McDaniels, Patricia and Shurmur had to interview this week. Wilks was unable to interview until next week. Nothing else to it
Wilks reminds me of Todd Bowles  
Vanzetti : 1/6/2018 11:56 pm : link
And no I’m not saying that because they are both black DCs. They just seem to have the same demeanor. No nonsense guys. I don’t see Apple acting up or DRC or Javkrabbit missing practices with Wilks in
Charge.

I think he would be good for Odell, who needs a coach he both loves and fears.

The lack of HC experience is worrying, especially after BM. But I have s feeling the Giants D would be nasty under Wilks

I ignored it because I don't think McDaniels is an offensive genius. The Patriots' offense got better, not worse, when McDaniels left. And he was OC for one of the worst offenses in NFL history with the Rams.

I don't know if Mara will allow Dave G. to hire a coordinator with only one year of experience
as a coordinator in Wilks?
After what went down with McAdoo, I would be surprised
if he allowed it. Who knows, if he interviews really well, it's possible.
Shurmur is interesting, seems like he could handle NYC.

I will be VERY disappointed if Spags is back here,
the only assistant I would consider keeping is Patrick
Graham as the D Line coach, he has only been here about
a year. To me, the rest of the assistants can go!

Agree, would NOT bring him in unless that is what he planned to do. Young up and comers at coordinator positions either fail, or they succeed and leave. I would like coordinators who are good at that job, but are not good HC candidates and wont leave.

Then why do you want McDaniels? Have you seen what his offense looks like without the friendly confines of Belichick, Brady and Ernie Adams? Let me help: 11th worst offense of all time in 2011 with the Rams. And his HC record is a carbon copy of McAdoo's.
Hire McDaniels ad draft a QB...

examples of HC's who made their name as defensive coaches who have decent or better offenses. Dan Quinn is one. Bill Belicheck is certainly another. Mike Tomlin.

Hiring a capable OC is often the thing that makes the difference.
