Because the 28 is the number of seasons since the Cowboys were in a Super Bowl.

How is Atlanta's defense? They've gotta be the second most desirable coaching spot behind the Chargers if Smith gets fired, between the offensive weapons and just how lovely the south is and will probably continue to be

Much improved this year but have age/injury concerns. Calais Campbell is 37 years old. Grady Jarrett blew out his knee four games into the season. Jessie Bates played his best year ever, but I don't know how much to trust that going forward.

AJ Terrell is good, Demarco Hellams has shown a heckuva lot of promise in the 2nd half of the year.

He's above average for the 1st and 2nd, but loves drafting a dickhead in the mid rounds. Don't bet on anyone after the 2nd though. Also terrible with the cap

To be fair to Quinn, he had extremely good defenses in Seattle, and they’ve never been as good since, and now he’s got a very good defense in Dallas when they sucked before he got there. Based on the evidence he’s probably a pretty good defensive coordinator. Yea, he’s had talent to work with but every NFL team has talent and plenty of coaches still manage to waste it.

None of this is an endorsement for him as HC, but like I said, you’ve got to hire *someone* and proven commodities are pretty rare.

Dan Quinn was hired for the 2021 season.

2020 Dallas D was 23rd in yards per play. 28th in points allowed.

2021 Dallas D was 21st in yards per play. 7th in points allowed.

The difference in overall D performance was due to the 2021 defense getting a whopping best in the league 34(!) turnovers. That’s 11 more turnovers than the 2020 Defense!

2022 was a big jump where the Dallas D was top ten in both points allowed and yards per play. Again, Dallas had the league leading number of turnovers (33).

So what happened?

Well for the 2021 nfl draft, Dallas had 6 picks in the first four rounds. The first five picks were all defensive players. Headlined by Micah Parsons.:siren:

Quinn also made the falcons defense pretty good in a short turn around when he first became their head coach. At least briefly for the start of his Atlanta tenure.

In conclusion, Micah Parsons is good and other stuff may be true. It’s impossible to know.

Good players don't exist in a vacuum. Quinn deserves plenty of credit for maximizing Parsons' potential and utilizing his unique skillet.

Yea, I don’t think Quinn is an especially good talent evaluator based on how his stint at Atlanta went so I’m not sure he’s a good head coach candidate, but utilizing the talent that’s there is like the primary goal of a coordinator and plenty of them fail at it.

Is there a good DC out there who is doing it with bad talent? Dennis Allen maybe?

Agree with the assessment that Sirianni is safe for this season barring a truly catastrophic meltdown. They'll either have another division title on their belt or a (probable) softball WC opponent in the NFCS champ, and then he has the most obvious scapegoat firing in the world with Matt Patricia. Next year will for sure be a test though, especially if the Eagles have another good draft.

Also I was one of the first people to predict that Eberflus would be safe this season, feels nice to get one of these right for a change.

I agree with you on Sirianni but they just got rinsed by a 3-win team at home and have lost 4 of 5, nobody is a softball opponent at this point.

There was just this Rapoport article on NFL.com and does pretty much sound like he’s gonna be in the NFL next year? Everything is essentially source from his or his own agent and he’s already filling out his staff

Some interesting tidbits

quote:

(Sources say at least one notable member of that San Francisco staff, offensive coordinator Greg Roman, is likely to be part of a potential Harbaugh NFL staff in some capacity.)



During previous interviews, Harbaugh was thought to only take a job that would include the hire of his preferred GM. Sources now say that's not in Harbaugh's mind. He's much more flexible than in previous years, open to a variety of structures with an acknowledgement that the structure of NFL buildings has changed since he last coached in the league.

I'll speak an awful idea into existence, even though it ain't happening:

Tom Brady ensorcels Harbaugh using Michigan Man magicks to head to Foxboro, with Tom's motivation being for Bill's successor at HC to come in and immediately perform better in New England than Bill did in 2023 & at his next stop.

Agreed but would it surprise you in any way if he takes their evaluation, flushes it down the toilet, and does what he and his wife want anyway

Also isn’t a search firm how we ended up with Condoleeza Rice as a candidate for the Browns?

Yeah but Condoleeza Rice is a massive football fan and was once floated as potentially joining the league office as a potential commissioner. Not saying I'd hire her, but it's not as though its as crazy as you might think when you're looking for a front office wonk.


But you're right. The only way the Panthers find a modicum of success and actually get someone effective in place that stays in place is going to be stupid, nigh impossible levels of luck because it won't be competence.

It is. Half these guys come from businesses where they’ll flush millions on a team of 26 year old McKinsey or Bain consultants that have little to no actual experience themselves because it places a wedge of responsibility in the decision making process and they can just say “not our fault, we hired the best!”

That and search firms are often smaller teams and are less close to beat journalists than your own staffers, so you can try to play the process at least closer to your own chest. Can’t stop agents from leaking still.

Can't remember which NFL franchise hired Korn Ferry to conduct a coaching search a few years back, but my wife was employed there for a year and change and absolutely hated it. This take is extremely correct based on what I saw from her.

There’s also pretty strict limits on who and how teams can contact candidates so having a third party do the work initially helps with that.

Also these teams are now having to commit $50+m to a coach and his staff. Not a surprise these guys want to pay for as much due diligence as possible
