Your dream coach

Tom Brady. He is very very competitive, smart, can call plays, and learned from the best. I generally would like us to follow the New England model of managing the cap carefully, selectively trading away some veterans or not extending them all, getting more comp picks, and trading back in the draft, and Tom is familiar with that model. He loves to compete and his wife hates to see him get hit, so coaching is a way to compete without getting hit, and he could compete with Belichick and Arians as a coach. He is also good at recruiting players. We wont be great next year anyway with cap issues and no qb so I would be willing to let him learn on the job. Recently retired stars have become very successful coaches in many sports, though not many too recently in football, But I think it could work. He was willing to come here to replace Brees. Why not Payton? And heck we are looking at Leftwich, but is it is not reasonable to argue that Tom Brady may have been the one running Tampas offense the past two years more than Leftwich?

If I had my choice I would still rather have Payton. Oh well, he's ready to move on and see new challenges. I could live with Kris Richards as HC though! He did a wonderful job with our secondary after Glenn left.

Is he interested or in the running ?

Maybe we go 1-17, get the #1 pick and Payton comes back and drafts our next franchise QB. One can dream.
I think he’s back on the sidelines in 2023.

Arch Manning will be in the draft class of 2026-7 and if there's someone who I'd accept tanking for - it's him.

I'm against tanking the season because it is hard to keep the team motivated and/or reinstate a winning attitude. If you make trades before the season it takes a while for players to adjust to a new scheme that has had wholesale changes.

Is Jerry Glanville still around?
