Updated HC Poll with Candidates scheduled for Interviews

Rudolph is a backup

If he is on the team which I expect

 

Im not really hating on him. I just think he has a bunch of issues.

 

I want balance. Most teams still in it have good defense but equally good offenses. Whomever it is has to hire a whole staff. It's got to be someone that the staff added can work comfortably with and together. Flores is a good DC but as a head coach much of that can be diluted by other responsibility.

 

he will be here because we are in a similar situation.

 

Rooney need to sale the team if McCarthy is our next head coach

 

That would be great if the goal is to go 0-17.

 

Maybe the goal is to convince everyone that they are hiring McCarthy so when they choose Flores everyone can say "Oh well it could have been worse, it could have been McCarthy!"

 

Flores HC
McCarty OC


That would be a great start.

not gonna happen.

 

Looks like it is coming down to Shula or Flores. I'd prefer Shula.

 

Incorrect. The locker room believes in Mason, Mason is proven with the Steelers, he believes in himself, the locker room will rally around McCarthy and the coaching staff, they will have Super Bowl as the goal, it will be a tight ship with direction.

 

Sell the team!

 

You can't have "Mason as the starter" and "Super Bowl as the goal" in the same paragraph. They don't belong together. If we're rolling with Mason, we are using him as a bridge before we draft our QB of the future. The team likes and believes in him, but the reality is that he isn't a starting level player. He is better than Pickett, but worse than Wilson or Rodgers.

 

Odds are so weird. There are multiple guys on that odds list that we haven't even spoken to ahead of guys that we have.

 

Really hope it's Shula at this point. The retread momentum is disconcerting.

 

Then you go wait for Mahomes or Allen to become available, or roll with Howard to see what you have and waste everyone's time in the locker room.
Unlike you and Tomlin, McCarthy is not a name chaser. He is a passer chaser, name does not matter. He will look at it and know, just like Holmgren.

 

It's not wasting anyone's time? If we don't like this year's group of QB's (I don't) then we have to wait until next year. You can still win games with a "bridge" QB, while still understanding that this specific QB isn't good enough to win you the ultimate prize (SB).

How is rolling with Howard (or some other "bridge" option) wasting the locker room's time and going with Mason Rudolph as the starter not wasting their time? Rudolph is a known sh*tty QB. Why on earth should that be our go to plan?

What do you mean "passer chaser" instead of "name chaser". You're going to act like McCarthy has had anything other than high end names at QB for his entire career? Favre, Rodgers, and Dak are the guys he's coached... But he's going to fall in love with a middling 30 year old back up? If McCarthy gets hired, we have a much better chance of starting Rodgers than Rudolph..

 

I'm not buying that it seemed like McCarthy and Rodgers didn't get along that well before he got fired.
