pin this but Leonard was wrong about the DC search the other day.

Leonard is wrong about almost everything, yet he is treated like Bob Woodward by many around here. The dude is a troll.

Intrigued me until I saw the tweet about him wanting Darrell Bevell as an OC. He was a big reason why Seattle's offense sputtered at the end of his tenure.

If we all hated Garrett, Bevell is no upgrade.

Are the 2 I want, but it doesn't look good.

an NFL coach for his entire career and he wants to take his shot with Tua Tagovaiola? If that's true, I don't want him anyway. But it's probably not true...

Maybe he sees something good in Tua and doesn't see something good in Jones.

Can that be a possibility?

If Schoen truly believes that DJ can be the guy, does he really have any other choice but to name Daboll, to have any realistic chance of his improving? If it’s just GM-speak, then it should be Flores, imo

I heard Chicago likes him too.

Everyone seems to like him. Six teams. But he apparently likes the situation in Denver if you believe the press.

Has Denver not met it's Rooney Rule requirements?

*its.

He is worse than that. The guy is a fraud and seems to have a cult like hold on McNair

And he will get his way and have Daniel be qb this year with what sounds like the same plan as the last couple years

And I’m supposed to think that schoen is running the show?

Just cking boxes is my guess. So I'm standing down on Frazier...for now.

Guess you are pulling for Frazier then. Have to assume that would be the best guy up up Schoen after Daboll. That would be a Schoen pick.

not saying it can't happen, money talks and will always be a wildcard we can't predict, but Daboll's also seen Tua in the NFL, facing him several times (don't know if Tua was in each game the teams played) and can clearly see what he's limited by.

Going from Josh Allen to Tua is such a massive difference in almost every category. Daboll has to know the ceiling with Tua is capped, he's just too limited physically for it not to be.

I still think we end up with either Daboll or Flores. I started out as Flores man, but switched to Daboll. That said, fine with either. Just no Frazier.

I am against hiring a defensive coach as head coach. If they aren’t going to daboll who is my first choice I’d have looked at Caldwell and McDaniel (SF). I’d also be interviewing Dorsey and Lombardi

Getting 9 wins out of that dogshit roster was a masterpiece.

And that’s after 1-7! Half the teams in this league would be making business decisions.

As some who can throw a 65 yard in the air strike on the road in January like the other night.

that got everybody here all riled up when they learned Daboll was the front runner but John Mara was going to override him for his favorite Flores?

Looking for a good sinister viewpoint here please.

In the search for a HC for all the teams.

I am not impressed with most of the candidates.

If Giants really want to give Jones his best shot than Daboll would be best. Sounds like Mara wants that but is also tired of first time head coaches so in comes Flores. But Flores would need to bring in a big time offensive coordinator.

So I think it is a toss up between Daboll and Flores.

It has nothing to do with Jones. If he comes here he has an avenue to get the next QB he wants to work with in the draft. But Carl Bernstein here is saying specifically that he wants to work with Tua. Specifically. That seems awfully silly to me.

I’m not sure anyone sees Tua like that.

I'm with you. Tua wouldn't excite me. Maybe he sees Tua as a chance at two bites at the apple. He knows what Tua can do, he does have one elite trait, accuaracy. And if it doesn't work out with him he'll get t o pick his own guy.

Hey Eric, what does Peppers say?

Would Daboll want to stay in the AFC East and face the juggernaut he helped engineer? It makes zero sense for him to prefer to face his old team with a QB he tutored twice a year.

When Pat said we were finalizing a deal with Patricia.

The pressure of the NY media market, after seeing what happened to the last 3 ! I can understand if that’s the case and if so, he shouldn’t be here. Flores might thrive here !

On the list of factors, this would rank far below salary, length of contract, organizational stability, relationship with GM and owner, city, weather, family needs/preferences. In fact, he may relish the challenge of playing against his former friends and colleagues. The Giants have fired four coaches in the last seven seasons and despite the GM being an ally, you have an owner who fosters a collaborative attitude of too many cooks in the kitchen.

They have only interviewed one.

It's possible he's gotten the skinny (maybe even on the side from Schoen) that Mara wants Flores.

We should know by Fri Nightish what the endgame is either way.

But Tua has improved YoY - Jones continues to go backwards in each of his three seasons - and he's played with an OL even worse than what Jones has here. And being in the AFCE, Daboll has very likely kept a close eye on Tua.

So, it's not that crazy for Daboll, along with his experience in Tuscaloosa with Tua, to have strong interest in Miami.

If I'm Chicago, and I have this diamond in the rough with Fields, I'm wining and dining Daboll all weekend. Starting tomorrow... ;)

Precisely.

Wow!

The #Dolphins plan to have second interviews early next week, source said, as they continue their search for a head coach. Despite the flurry of activity today, no rush in Miami.

Which probably means they realize Daboll to NY Giants get's done by this weekend.
