Head Coaching News and Rumors

Sean desperately wanted to coach the Giants and when he read that the job went to McCarthy he threw his phone. Loomis did not lure him away from Dallas.

Drews first choice was Miami, we did not attract him until his options were limited.

Who has Sean openly stated was his mentor? His mentor on a daily basis was Tom Benson and he has stated that publicly.

If we want to be a team that attracts talent we need to name a Head Coach that players want to play for above everything else. We need to also stop pretending that Mickey Loomis is anything but a contract manager because in the word of football where things matter on the field he is not on anyone's radar. It is time to ask your roster who they want to play for; if your team wants to play for someone, chances are other teams players want to play for them as well.

Slight correction... it was GB, not the Giants. Point remains the same, however.

Is what you consider a disengaged owner less attractive than an owner like Jerry Jones?

You could hire Bill Walsh or Any Reid, wouldn't matter. As long as that fool, Loomis, is in charge you're not winning

If Chris Olave’s reaction is any indication, Moore would be a popular fit in the locker room. The Saints receiver weighed in on Moore and the idea of potentially getting a coach with experience in the big game.

“That’s huge,” said Olave, acknowledging that he’d seen Moore’s name mentioned with other candidates in this cycle. He continued, “Just to have somebody that has reached the Super Bowl and who has a possibility to win it comes in and be the next head coach, that’s huge. I’m excited to see who the next head coach is, I’m going to be a better version of myself to try and help them win.”

It certainly looks like it’s gonna be Moore. I don’t take issue with it. He’s young and has done well everywhere he’s been.

It can’t get any worse than last year. Literally anyone is better than DA.

I had a software engineering interview that went 90 minutes today. My wife thought that was a long one. I told her about NFL HC interviews going 6-7 hours. Her mind was blown.
