Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

I tried to explain my thoughts on that point, both in terms of the process used and in terms of the accountability between positions once the ship pushes off from shore and the waters start to get a little choppy. Anyway, best of luck to KAM and KOC and I will continue to hope for the best. If the ...

Re: The Rooney Rule

Winning is what it's all about, isn't it? As it stands, Tony Dungy and Mike Tomlin are the only black coaches to win a Super Bowl. Only four (Dungy, Tomlin, Lovie Smith and Jim Caldwell) have ever made it to the Super Bowl. Maybe when more black coaches win it, more will get hired. But how can you ...

Re: The Rooney Rule

Does the Rooney Rule work? It doesn't seem like it as there is currently only one head coach in the NFL. However, that one coach supposedly became the coach due to the Rooney Rule. Ironically by the team whose owner the rule is named after. The Steelers were all set to hire a white coach, I don't re...

Re: Kevin O'Connell will be next Vikings coach

I know it is early but has anyone heard any rumors about offensive and defensive coordinator? Not really a rumor but a theory. I heard speculation that part of the reason to interview Patrick Graham may be to gauge his interest in a DC job if he didn’t get the HC job. It would be a lateral move so ...

Re: Kevin O'Connell will be next Vikings coach

Just my two and a half Skol cents. I don't have a problem with KOC being out new HC, it's just the way it happened. Harbaugh isn't the type of coach that you fly out and not secure a deal. So I feel like there's way more to the story on what happened and hopefully there's some closure in that situa...

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

It's not like KOC is just a nice, handsome guy who speaks well. The reports I read say the entire search team, including KAM, were extremely impressed with his vision for the organization. I don't know about you, but that means a lot to me. Hopefully I'll be as impressed once he is officially hired...

Hmm, sound familiar?
Unfortunately Yes. If you want Jim Freaking Harbaugh you better be prepared to come strong.
So you give him whatever he wants and all of the control he wants? No.

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

KOC strikes me in a lot of ways as the next Mike Tice. Personable. Funny. Probably entertaining to some degree. Probably not ready to be a head coach. I guess as long as he doesn't start talking about a "Dalvin Ratio" or something silly like that I'll give him a chance. Or ... maybe inste...

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

In all fairness to Jim Harbaugh it sounded like his hiring was a done deal. The guy didn't interview for any other head coaching job around the league that I am aware of. He left his school on National Signing Day to come to Minny to "interview". I think he had good reason to believe the ...

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

Interesting text from Harbaugh to the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “The Wilf family (ownership group) and organization are first class all the way and in every way and Kwesi is a shining star!” Harbaugh wrote in a text message Wednesday night to the Pioneer Press. “The team is poised for greatness.” http...

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

In fairness to fans, the media made it sound like Harbaugh’s hiring was a done deal. But yeah, we jumped to conclusions. The Michigan media? I agree. There were reports from Ann Arbor indicating that they thought Harbaugh was giving indications that he was moving on. But the media that covers the V...

Pellisaro saying Vikings didn’t make an offer? https://mobile.twitter.com/TomPelissero ... gr%5Etweet

So Harbaugh changed his mind, or the Vikings didn’t want him. Which is it?

Re: Coaching search 2022 - Confirmed Interviews and Speculation

The Wilfs already off to a horrible start with their new GM, by either not offering his guy enough or not offering him at all. Kwesi already undermined by ownership his first week as GM. Seems like we had Harbaugh giftwrapped. Pathetic. It's impossible to know WTH happened, honestly, but it seems t...
