HC Interview tracker (Quinn, Frank Smith, Evero, etc.)

[Ozzy]

Waldron being so bad is coloring some ideas here. Our offense is not the problem. Also, the hot young offensive minded coaches are not fairing well in these playoffs. Offense was down this season. The pendulum is swinging back to defense and running game and I want a young brilliant defensive mind to get on top of the movement.

How can the offense not be the problem but Waldron is terrible? If the offense is fine then wouldn't Waldron be doing at least an average job?

17th in points scored, 21st in yards gained.
25th in points allowed, 30th in yards gained.

Defense is the problem. Waldron calls too many of the same pass plays and too many of the same run plays as dictated by down and distance. If you can't see it, I can't help you.

Also, a new head coach will replace our lackluster Waldron.

I just want to be a fly on the wall during these interviews. My 2 and only choices would be Johnson or McDonald.

[CactusJack]

Good. I hope he's the guy. But we have a ton of competition for him at the moment.

 

[James in PA]

I just posted this in the "Ben Johnson" thread. Too many coaching threads.

This sounds promising and feels like smart timing on our part as it's right after his interview with the Commanders, who everyone is talking about as the top choice for him. Sometimes being the (current) last interview can work to your advantage. Hopefully it does as I feel he's truly the right fit for us. The Lions last game against the Rams only showed me that more.

Seattle, Dallas and Vegas throw in Atlanta are top places based on Stadiums and fans, then you have to look at ownership, cut the Raiders and it's funky set up, Atlanta has a weird and more meddlesome owner and GM as does Dallas, Panthers, Commanders, who knows seems like a question mark on that aspect at this point other then Teppers looking more like Snyder, Chargers have a QB but ownership and the Stadium situation is a bit of a cluster there sharing with Rams and LA not really wanting you there anyway.

We are sitting pretty good as far as a destination and we will do what's needed to support a coach and pay them if they interview well also.

 

[Bear-Hawk]

My choice is Ben Johnson. The way the Lions offense has performed, he’s going to get a HC job somewhere. As a Bears fan, I’d be happy to see him somewhere else.

So John is going to do a bunch of video interviews tomorrow and then? But I am sure he can cut the list down meet the hiring and interview requirements set down by the league and accelerate the process, not only do we need a coach but a whole staff, those guys are going to fly off the board once coaches get in place.

Update: The Seahawks have unofficially requested HC interviews with all surviving members of the 1972 Dolphins 17-0 team.

Obviously a joke, but it does feel that way.

No stone unturned

How many candidates have Schneider interviewed so far? Not just requested to interview but actually interviewed?

Zero. I believe the first interview is today.

 

[Torc]

I wonder what Jim Zorn is up to these days.

 

[oldhawkfan]

I hear Pete Carroll is available.

 

[fenderbender123]

Not even making an attempt with Harbaugh?

I guess we will just have to rely on getting lucky.

He wants full control, the hawks won't give him that.

 

[fenderbender123]

He wants full control, the hawks won't give him that.

They should, though. The head coach should always have final say. He's the damn head coach.
