Callihan  was the first person interviewed.  AAS sat in on the interviews.  They wouldn't let Callihan leave to interview elsewhere.  Good chance this was a consensus decision by the owner and front office.

Yeah they might want to rethink that step in the process and actually interview multiple candidates.

Wait, Brinker said the approach was correct last time? Wow. Yeah fire that motherfucker into the sun. Hand the reins to Borgonzi. 

 

The approach was good. Callahan just sucked. Unless that was predictable (Holz was a warning sign and I quibble a bit over his contact with great QBs but not much else) I have no issues with that comment.

Huh??   They interviewed at least 10 candidates.

AAS should be nowhere close to the interview room.

Good to know the process went great and we ended up with the worst coach in recent memory. Nothing to tweak whatsoever.

A good bit of this board needs to take a long hard look into the mirror and reflect.

 

Idk who is more concerned at this me point. Me or @oldschool, because iv been agreeing wifh him for days and thats not normal. 

 

So step it up everyone else, fix this

Well when I have people tell me the process to hiring was a good one while being overseen by Carthon and ending with Callahan...yeah I'm going to disagree.

One part of the process that was missing is making sure you ask rules of the game questions to never been a HC before candidates.  I surely thought during the interview process that the candidate would be put through several in-game scenarios to evaluate their game management process and decisions.  I’m not so sure they did that with Callahan though.  Seems like such an obvious part of a HC interview.

If your process results in you hiring a head football coach who doesn’t even know basic rules, you might want to adjust the process.

It happens, especially if the primary characteristic you were looking for (an upcoming genius offensive mind) turns into the worst offense you've ever seen. And then the guy also needs to grow into the job and seems to be incapable of doing so, proving to not have a grasp of rules, inspiring nothing within the team and losing the locker room as far as I can tell.

 

There are a number of QBs that have kind of been similar where they know the game and they can talk it up on a board in a meeting but then they lack something and can't execute in the moment. I think of Callahan in the same way even if it's not exactly the same. I'm sure he knows offense. But he did not know how to run an offense live, in the field. 

 

Among other sizable failings.

It blew up in their face, but they did what people are asking them to do now. Amy, hands off, let the football minds find the right guy for the job. 

 

You can either start it at carthon picking cally, or you can push it back to whatever the we dont know brain trust that picked Carthon. 

 

Either way the dominoes were in motion and it failed miserably. 

 

Its hard to nail down what exactly went wrong, was it the people in charge being woefully unqualified to begin the search? Was the process botched by not looking deep enough into the candidates? Maybe ran and or cally were just great at interviewing, that happens. 

 

As fans this sucks because we want the team to be good and watching it burn before our eyes while we dont even know exactly what happend leads to us trying to figure out the puzzle we cant finish. 

 

I just dont see how you can blame the process when we dont even know what the process was, but on the surface it seemed very similar to what teams do all the time. Finding effective gms and head coaches is hard. Its why most teams are constantly cycling through them.

Read above. The guy didn't even know the basic rules of the game. The process was obviously very flawed. 

[IsntLifeFunny]

And I'm not trying to be a dick @Callidus I don't disagree that we don't know which part of the process or who exactly was running what. We agree there. Seeing Brinker say there was nothing wrong at all, when obviously that's a bald faced lie, is umm not great? It shows a keen lack of self-awareness. Just blow off the question if you don't want to talk about it.
