Albert Breer has a few nuggets here about the HC search and some of the analytical studies the team is already undertaking about varying success rates of second time HC and coordinators with more than

It is becoming really annoying how some people are using bad result as an excuse to paint the last HC hiring process as a sham. Facts are Callahan was an in demand candidate during that hiring cycle e

Callahan was a great "candidate" and a terrible head coach.

There were grumblings last year that KOC and the GM weren't on the same page about Darnold...

 

Everything I saw was O'Connell didn't want McCarthy.  He had Wentz playing through a dislocated shoulder, a torn labrum and a fractured socket for 2.5 games while McCaffrey had a sprain ankle.....

Did you see the clip MCCarthy(Not McCaffery!) jump over the guy on the side line? That ankle is fine

“Saleh is the best signing we’ve ever had,” All-Pro tight end George Kittle said at his locker after Sunday’s victory over the Falcons. “I’ve been saying that since OTAs. It’s not just how smart he is, but his juice. He’s inspirational. He’s great in meetings. His energy is infectious, every single day. And he gets our young guys ready.”

 

Added quarterback Brock Purdy: “Saleh brings a different kind of energy to the building, and he’s dialing it up. He’s really, really smart, and it’s helping us a lot.”

 

“What I noticed during training camp is that yes, Saleh’s back, but his defense couldn’t be more different than when he was here before,” veteran fullback Kyle Juszczyk said. “It’s evolved so much. It’s not just ‘rush four and play Cover 3 behind it.’ He mixes up looks more, he disguises things and he blitzes more. And it’s totally working.”

Apparently some of the offensive guys like him as well.

yup. I think there is some friction there. Makes sense. When you get a QB playing at the level Darnold was last year and win 14 games, usually the HC wants to stay the course. McCarthy to me was a massive reach. he didn't play much in college and when he did, he didn't pass that often. He has world's of talent that pops on tape but he's a very raw QB

The two guys I'd like to see them consider are Saleh and Kingsbury. I think the next guy has to have former HC experience and be able to speak specifically on what they would change from their previous gig like Quinn did when interviewing for the Skins job. It can't be lip service like McCarthy lying about reviewing game film and embracing analytics to get the Cowboys job.

I’m not @oldschool, but I’ll give my opinion as things are right now’s 

 

I have 3 main guys. No particular order at all all:

 

Robert Saleh with a strong OC

Mike McCarthy

Kliff Kingsbury
