Beerfish 35,097 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 QB1 has a legit concern in this regard and not because the new coach will lobby for a bunch of defensive players (like rex would have and did) but because a GM might be influenced by the history of the new head coach and feel he has to evenly build the team at the very least. Even if the offense needs the resources far more in an offensive league. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CanadaSteve 5,718 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 HOLY SHEEEEEITTTE! SOJ attitude has finally reached its pinnacle. Before the guy is even hired, we are bitching about how bad the offense will be, which in turn will call for the guy to be fired....BEFORE HE HAS EVEN BEEN HIRED!

Douglas was here first and is in charge of hiring the HC. For the first time, we can be reasonably confident that this is a situation where the GM picks the players he wants and the coach coaches them. Saleh will be able to provide input on his vision but ultimately it will be Douglas' picks. Saleh is a former Tight End and watched his elite defense in SF get betrayed by a poor Jimmy Garoppolo-led offense. I imagine he'll be on board with adding offensive talent. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgb 27,750 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 One could also argue that it's good to have balance between a GM and HC's backgrounds. Joe Douglas was famously a former NCAA O-lineman. Saleh has a defensive background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Saleh is going to come in here as the new guy and demand Douglas to draft defense and he's going to do it? Does Douglas strike you as a guy who lets someone else tell him what to do? He's not inept like our past GM's, who let coaches put their fingerprints all over the drafts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wait until Chris Johnson announces that they're carefully reviewed their reporting structure, listened to a lot of feedback and have decided to make a change for the good of the organization going forward. The GM will now report to the HC. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawn306 36,787 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I don't care who the coach is. Just make sure that DeVonta Smith is drafted at #2 and Etienne is drafted with Seattle's pick. Then I will be happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is official yet. The issue isn't with what coaches he brings in it's about allocation of resources. The OP is right. This team will not focus it's primary resources on defense and try and recreate the 49ers from two years ago. Which is the Rex Ryan teams from a decade ago. If you do EVERYTHING right - you make a run, come up short - and two years later are picking the top 5 again. Defense simply doesn't matter anymore. The teams that figured that out are going deep into the playoffs every year. I had hoped JD understand, so far it's pretty clear he doesn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They all have good QBs. We need a good QB. Look at what happened to Dungy once he had Peyton Manning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to understand that offensive talent is pretty much the only thing that matters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What you should look for in a head coach is a great inspiration leader who motivates ALL, the players, the assistant coaches and the training staff. He also must have expertise regarding both sides of the ball. This BS of a HC delegating all decisions to a coordinator doesn't float - no dotted lines! Lastly he must hire the great coordinators and great assistants who know how to develop talent - again the HC must oversee everyone and make sure everyone is doing their job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I gave him a list of HCs from the defense side of the ball who had top offenses, developed QBs and he gave a confused face to the post He is a one track, Jets will make the wrong choice, meaning anyone he cant understand why they could be a good HC. Youre hiring a HC and who he will bring in as a staff, how they will work under him. Not just a OC who had a good offense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardTodd27 437 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 4 out of 5 of the top NFL coaches (and longest tenured) this past decade happened to be former defensive coordinators: (Bellichek, Carrol, M. Lewis and Harbough) Only Sean Payton is an offensive guy. No problem with Saleh (especially after the Gase disaster). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
