I too would like to see McDaniel as OC not HC. He's got a great offensive mind. I think a great combo would be Flores as HC and McD as his OC. Unfortunately, I think Schwartz will stay in Cleveland in some capacity. I don't yet have a favorite as DC other than Schwartz.

For the sake of argument.  If the browns offer just dc.  We hire Flores as hc and he offers Swartzy dc I can’t see him saying no.

That would work out nicely too.

Van Noy, from his own channel

Sean McDermott pulled a Harbs and Josh Allen pulled a Lamar, Denver gets 10 pts in the final 22 seconds of the half

[papasmurfbell]

I have thought McDermott was a loser since the game where they lead by 3 with 14 seconds.  To not squib kick that ball is malpractice.  
like Lamar I don’t think Allen ever gets a ring.  Both will be to beat up to play very soon. 

[tsylvester]

That last 22 seconds of the first half cost them the game. I understand wanting to steal points, but no time outs, the pass game was not working that well. Take a knee and regroup. Sure, Allen has to hang onto the ball, but even with his long run they would not likely have had enough time to kick a field goal.

[tsylvester]

So Stefanski to the Falcons, Harbs to the Giants, I'm guessing the Ravens make their choice this week  

[papasmurfbell]

I thought there were like 4 more first round interviews.

[tsylvester]

Read an article in Sports Illustrated about the new deal Harbs signed. Aside from for $100 mil deal, wowza, the author pointed out that he will have virtually the same "power over the roster that he had in Baltimore", 

Hmmm, maybe Eric is not to blame for the lame draft picks afterall

Will it change based on who our next coach is?

[tsylvester]

Great Question 

[oldno82]

Very interesting!

Do you recall yrs ago I said he had outsized control over the roster.  There has to be a reason we kept grabbing Jim’s broken toys Al, the time.

[tsylvester]

Bills fired McDermott, another coach who had a great regular season record but faltered in the playoffs.

[papasmurfbell]

I never understood why he didn’t get the heat on that 14 sec game.  He lost that one.

[tsylvester]

Yep, he has had some blunders and I guess the fact that;" this was the Bills' best chance to win a super bowl", and that half time blunder finally hit home with rhe owner

[tsylvester]

Will Harbs pull a Billy B and change his mind so he can go to Buffalo? Better team than the Giants

[oldno82]

i don't know if the Buffalo franchise can dole out the same $100mil with roster control offer NYG has made. I don't think they're as rich as the New York City club.

Besides, didn't Harbs actually sign the contract with the Giants?

[oldno82]

BTW, there has been some speculation based on DeCosta's comments at the presser, that last week would see the Ravens finish their initial list and hand over their final five or six to Bisciotti by the end of this week, but wouldn't that rule out any of the assistants with the Super Bowl teams? They can't be offered a job until after the Super Bowl? They also can't be interviewed in person either, only by video until after the big game?

[tsylvester]

They've got 4 scheduled for this week, so I guess 1st round isn't over yet

[oldno82]

Really. 

Sounds like if they want Kubiak, or Denver's DC, we might not know until after the SB or can they commit during the bye week before it?

[tsylvester]

Would be foolish to wait that long, imho, frankly, to interview so many may out other, better choices off. I'm all for getting the right guy but interviewing 20 people, oy

You can do an interview of a sb team guy the week of the pro bowl.
