Next GM and Head Coach

[LKP]

Not an X and Os guy but a good leader. OC/DC would have to be amazing hires pretty much.

 

[grandy]

Sketchy Twitter rumors that he could bring Saints DB coach Aaron Glenn with him for DC.

best bet at that point would be to keep bevell as OC.

 

[tomdalton22]

So Dan Campbell is the leader in the clubhouse but hasn't had an in-person interview yet??

 

[boogerlovejoy]

best bet at that point would be to keep bevell as OC.

I would be ok with that.....but if he doesn't give Bevell the green light to PASS first.....not many guys are going to succeed.

We need more speed on offense. There aren't a lot of Tyreek Hills out there, but I would give Curtis Samuel the money set aside for Golladay......then draft Waddle, Smith or Chase. Bring back Jones on a reasonable 2-3 year deal if he was interested.

WR - 2021

Devonta Smith/Waddle
Curtis Samuel
Cephus
Jones
Cheap FA

Boom, WR fixed.

You're welcome, Mr. Holmes.

I like. BPA and need fit and good FA additions too. But this team needs defensive talent so badly

26, 29, 34 and 23 in a win with Golladay playing full game. 3-1 in those games


But I think with health they could score 30 PPG with those WRs, Stafford, Swift and Hock and average Oline. But again the WR would have to be good early like Justin Jefferson was for the Vikings this year. Can't have a Okudah year 1 situation this upcoming year. Though I'm praying Okudah problem was scheme/coaching, groin/shoulder injury, no true offseason and lack of pass rush too.

Spielman and Dan are probably buddies. The fact that it sounds like we?re hiring a man we didn?t even interview is crazy to me. Why even waste all of the time interviewing all the candidates in the first place. Shoulda just waited and hired Dan the man. I?m not hopefully of this but once again he could be good just as Vrabel is. If Dan hires a good staff and knows how to spot talent then we?ll see.

I would like our team running more. Keep the defense off the field. Give the ball to Swift a lot. I want a new OC not Bevill.

as LKP said, Swift isn't a workhorse. They are going to need another RB. AP still needs work since he is broke. Kerryon isn't very good but worth keeping.

RBs are a dime a dozen coming out of college. Just don't draft a one dimensional RB which pretty much tells the D what is coming (run or pass)

A guy like Tray Sermon from OSU would be a good day 3 pick.

Robinson the back up for Najee Harris....get him in the 5th round.

sure...any of them. I think they are a dime a dozen. Get a good line and a lot of RBs out of college can perform...probably just as well as Swift. If I were a GM, I would never sign a RB to a second contract, I don't care how good he is.

I keep seeing that Dan Campbell is emerging as the favorite for the HC position. Looks like we are still taking TE and hoping they will solve the problems.

Pitts and Hockenson will be a matchup nightmare. Get ready for it!

I would too, but here is one major reason we don?t.......we don?t scare teams on offense. We don?t have a single skill player on offense that makes a DC say...?shit, I have to have help over the top?.

We get squeezed. It makes Hockenson less effective. It makes Golladay less effective. It makes the run game less effective.

It?s no different that having a really good 3 point shooting team.....opens everything up inside.

 

[mhughes0021]

So if we hire campbell do we get hit with tampering charges and lose picks? I thought we can't contact people on teams still in the playoffs. Or is it allowed since he's not a coordinator?

We're not winning games now so why not try something different. Plus Golladay is gone. If we don't have the oh shit guy than passing the ball a lot is not a good option either.

Lions Rumor: 'Uncertainty' with Stafford Impacted Coaching Search

https://sports.yahoo.com/m/262af617-b9c8-3cd0-b6e4-a6d5091d5f15/lions-rumor:-'uncertainty'.html

Not sure exactly what this implies.

Correct. Because it would be a promotion you can contact them. No in person interviews until their team is eliminated.

At least that?s my understanding of it.

I think Golladay gets tagged. It?s easy to trade a guy on the tag so there really is no reason not to.
