YoloinOhio Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) @seifertESPN Jaguars hire Doug Marrone. Bills consider Anthony Lynn. Warning: History of promoting interim coaches is bleak http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/228260/doug-marrone-hire-by-jaguars-buyer-beware-for-teams-promoting-interim-coaches Edited January 10, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Lynn is such a respected coach, everyone wants him, but he's been a RB coach forever and only became OC this season when the OC was fired. Why didn't someone at least promote the man to OC if he was so sought after? It's not an attack. It's a question. How does a guy who has never been able to rise above RB coach suddenly deserve to be HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 This is why I don't want Anthony Lynn. he has to much of Rex in him. Clean slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Worked out for the Giants. I think Lynn is very different from Rex. I don't think he should be the guy, but I disagree with this article for our situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) maybe he is a great leader of men that didnt have a fully developed playbook of his own? Could be. But if he doesn't have a fully developed playbook, and has only served as a coordinator of anything for part of one season, to me that means he needs more experience at a higher level first. Lots of football coaches are "great leaders of men." Not many are actually good at the job of HC, though, based on how many don't last more than 3 years anywhere. Even Harbaugh was a special teams coordinator at least. IMO you should at least coordinate an entire unit for a couple seasons before becoming HC. Not saying he can't be successful but the resume worries me. "Comfort" with a guy is over-rated. Edited January 10, 2017 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It is something of an odd proposition that you would look to someone who coached under the person you've fired to "right the ship." Not saying it can't work out fantastically, but it's a valid observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 maybe he is a great leader of men. that didnt have a fully developed playbook of his own? I think you could even shorten that to above. Just because we the message board masses don't fully get a candidates credentials, it doesn't mean they're living off of one year of good coordinator results (as an example). I'm guessing the people that have actually worked in that small industry for years have a better insight into candidates than us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Mr. McAdoo spent too much time grading the Social Studies midterms and not enough time planning for the GB game. I don't think he was ever an interim at all, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Who was the interim that worked out for the Giants? I'm blanking on this. Not an interim but I believe Ben McAdoo was an internal promote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I guess Dirk Koetter at Tampa is a recent example of an internal promotion who appears to be having success as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Worked out for the Giants. I think Lynn is very different from Rex. I don't think he should be the guy, but I disagree with this article for our situation. This is simply Interim HC. It means teams fired their coach in season then promoted from within. The big thing here here is the situation. Every team there but the Cowboys and 2002 Vikings were teams in transition or bad teams. The situation matters. The Bills are talented. Unless they rebuild they should be at minimum a 8 win team. The Titans last year had ayoung QB and didn't want to change everything. That's why they had success. Jaguars are trying for continuity with a young talented team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eme123 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Anthony seems like a nice guy but he has only 14 games running an offense!! For crying out loud he's never even spent an offseason as OC. Lets get someone who has climbed the ladder and learned the difficulties of each rung. Skipping rungs is a shaky way to get to the top. Lynn is not qualified!!!

Kirby Jackson Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I would say that it worked for Tampa as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are not a bad team in transition, yet. Edited January 10, 2017 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
