I actually think you can upgrade Stefanski to hot right off the bat.

Watson's ban at the start of last year bought them a bit of a free pass. By the time he suited up the Browns were in total whatever territory, and that continued when Watson as expected looked like total dump. It was just an eye roll of a situation. Week to week nobody gave a poo poo about what the Browns were doing.

I think it's different this year. I think there's some real "right, lets see why you did this to your franchise" pressure on Watson and anyone who had any voice at all in that contract, and I think people are absolutely primed and ready to burn them to the ground if Watson looks like anything less than elite right off the bat. I just think everything around the Browns could be set to escalate to a nuclear level implosion extremely quickly (which they loving deserve, fwiw) and I think that starts where it usually does - with the HC.

Agreed.

HOT would be Stefanski and Gannon (lol).

If I was a GM I would simply not pick busts. Every single pick I make would be an all-pro.

The Brad Holmes school of thought.

Matt Patricia is a rapist, and unfortunately it came out AFTER the Lions hired him.

And then he was hired by New England AND Philly.

Noted Good Coach Dan Cambell:

Fired dysfunctional OC in his first year
Fired dysfunctional Secondary coach in his second year

Also took full accountability for his own mistakes as he made them throughout.

Dan Cambell actually wanted to take over the Lions because he wanted to bring them to relevance.

I'd say Harbaugh is off the same stuff.

I mean compared to what came before he's holding his hand over a candle and not flinching.

It is still amazing to me to think how quickly Josh McDaniels blew his second chance at a head coaching job. All you really had to do was not make everyone hate you, and you couldn't manage to do that.

Who could have predicted a 47 year old white male couldn't change their ways?!

The Jets also used Korn Ferry to hire Mike Maccagnan who was one of the worst GMs in NFL history.

Thanks for all the Corn chat, reminding me of Corn Elder.

Lions called up like four screen passes in a row to get their WR a 250k bonus instead of kneeling down.

And it worked.

That's just another way to maintain the respect of your players.

I'm reserving judgement on Aaron Glenn until after the playoffs.

I want to see his defence in true must play circumstances, because, really, the two greatest examples of must / high pressure games for the Lions:

This year against Dallas: The defence was great.
Last year against Green Bay: The defence wasn't.

No sarcasm, but Aaron Glenn is pretty much a defensive Dan Campbell and is gonna be a sick head coach.

His defence is quietly doing really well despite having a lame Cam Sutton as his CB1 and a stolen off the practice squad of another team lats in the year as his CB2.

One of the Lions real superpowers this year was knowing on 1st down if they were going to go for it on 4th down.

Really allows the full playbook to be explored.
