OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Ridley Simon]

They've interviewed 8 guys and requested a second interview with four of them.... And none of them are Bill Belicik. He's not on their radar at all, the media was always full of shit on this rumor.

Some of those 8 got jobs, right? Morris did. Sounds like Quinn as well. Anyone else? Not Canales, not Pierce, not Mayo, not Harbaugh, not Callahan…..that’s all of them.

I think MacDonald is still a very real option. Between him and Johnson.

As Falcons pass on Bill Belichick, it’s clear what is shutting him out of this NFL head-coaching hiring cycle - Yahoo Sports

Was Atlanta's Arthur Blank going to pull the rug out from under a longtime and influential exec in Rich McKay and also GM Terry Fontenot to embrace a short retooling under Belichick? No.

sports.yahoo.com

tl;dr and doing so quickly despite BB being 72, and having decades to build his structure in NE, with no such window at any other club. Not to mention with ATL there is a GM/Owner relationship that can't be broken.

Harris hiring Peters means there's no chance in hell BB gets what he wants in DC, if they even ever considered him. The article says BB only interviewed with ATL.

And I doubt SEA takes out Carroll and slips in BB but you never know. I suspect they want to go with the "young former player rabble rouser" trend that's taking over the league.

You mean Dan Quinn? He's at the bottom of the list for me. I'd take Johnson (1st), or either of the Ravens guys, the lions DC or Slowik, before Quinn.

Sorry yeah….corrected.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Stop f***ing interviewing Dan Quinn. Jesus Christ.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

He’s been the DC for a division rival for a few seasons… not a bad idea to pick his brain. I think there’s no chance they take Quinn over Johnson but maybe they bring Quinn on as assistant HC and defensive coordinator if Quinn doesn’t want to go back to a lame duck coach in McCarthy.

I don’t want Quinn. Like he’s literally the last guy I’d want. 3rd interview bothers me…..a lot. Will take some of the bloom off of the beautiful Peters rose that I think so warmly about.

Hopefully it’s a screen. Let Seattle hire him.

Since Harbaugh is gone, it’s Johnson/MacDonald train for me. One of those 2, I don’t really care which (get a vet DC for Johnson — Wink? — and a vet OC for MacDonald — EB??!!!!!?).

Don’t screw around, Adam.

Would be pretty damning for MCcarthy if Quinn left for anything less than a HC job.

Quinn would not be my preference either.

I mean, Ben Johnson must not be in the bag if they’re continuing the process. I’d certainly feel more comfortable if we knew other 2nd/3rd interviews were ongoing.

I can’t believe the Ravens are back to being SB contenders like that. I couldn’t even imagine getting ready to watch the squad in a NFC championship game. Why did my parents have to be Redskins fans

Lucky for me the one parent I hated was a huge redskins fan. Also I loved the aquarium.

 

[kicksavedave]

Ya know, when they post this list of assistants, they somehow also forget the 2 time SB winner Mike Shanahan was the HC of that team. So yeah, a crap ton of coaching talent and a toxic douche nozzle QB, GM and owner.

Ravens cut prices on many items in their stadium...including 7 dollar beers. Meanwhile it costs f***ing 16 dollars for a beer at FedEx. Josh has some lessons to learn lol

Lions' Ben Johnson as Washington Commanders head coach a 'pretty foregone conclusion'

The signs point to Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson winding up as the next head coach of the Washington Commanders.

I was in the maye camp but the more I hear about Daniels and his better accuracy I wouldn't mind him either

 

[ynotcaps]

Not too worried about the Quinn smoke -- clarification that it's a second interview helps, but also the fact that we're on hold to get in-persons with any of the (presumably) front contenders until they're done. Maybe gives us a bit of leverage to at least stay active rather than looking like we're waiting at the altar.

 

[John Price]

reiterate if Johnson is still looking and they hire Quinn it will be extremely disappointing but whoever the front office hires will be in sync with ownership and the football side... and that is something that has not been seen in DC in a very long time.

so essentially anyone they hire as head coach is a win.

Yeaaaaah no, gonna disagree with that last sentence.

Can’t get much worse…

Could do worse. LOL. JDR or Staley or Gase or ….

You get my drift.

They're not being interviewed

Quinn wouldn't be my first choice but basically if Peter's likes him that's fine with me

As I stated above, I don’t want Quinn — like At All. But there are far worse people out there, is my point.

And he’s as good as Morris or Flores or Weaver, etc IMO.

It was Harbaugh

Then Johnson, MacDonald

Then Slowik

Then Belichick, Carroll

Then everyone else
