nothing worse than mid level bean counters. They are stuck in the roles for a reason. Moron

 

I thought yesterday I was entry level and that was the worst? Will I be upper management bean counter tomorrow?

In terms of that , something went wrong or he’s just one of those who can answer the blackboard stuff but can’t do it when it’s most important.

So he’s the Will Levis of HC’s.  Lasted about the same amount of time, so yeah, that checks out.

Dude... you know when top level positions are interviewed for, they are far less technical in nature. They aren't hiring an individual contributor.

Capitalism is great! Clearly it’s faulty. This is a league filled to the brim with old boys and nepo babies. A lot more landmines.

They were clearly okay with him being inexperienced at calling games or managing the game in general. I wonder if they will tweak some questions on game theory to account for it? Hell they might not even think that was an issue and that he simply was overwhelmed. We'll never know because they won't kill him in the press.

Not to mention silver spoon babies inheriting daddy's privately held company and taking over supreme executive function despite having no experience or knowledge.

What? Nah. Based on info we had I liked the hire too.

 

The reason I’m saying there’s an issue with hiring is because of what Callahans mistakes were. The guy didn’t know simple rules, he didn’t understand when to go for it or play it safe, just a lot of unawareness overall.

 

We have coders going through 10 interviews with testing the whole way. How does a multimillion dollar job that’s 1/32 not vet that thoroughly.

 

Put Callahan through a boiler room of situational awareness and he’d have been out the door.

The answer to your question is likely that it simply hasn't been customary to vet NFL HC candidates in that way. I suspect that given the resumes most candidates sport, it's assumed that they are at least competent in the areas you mention. I saw someone else say this but perhaps it would be wise to divert from conventional thinking at least when it comes to guys with as little experience managing an NFL team as Callahan.

This is the exact thought I had when I read that comment. Levis being that bad surprised me too though not as much because we had plenty of college tape to see his flaws in.

It should be noted that Arthur Smith is the exact opposite of that.

How do we know his dad didnt ship him directly into his first coaching job? A sort of brown box trojan horse.

He probably did.  But Arthur was hired as a defensive quality control coach  aka the guy who breaks down film.  He's come a long way on his own since then.

I was just kiding. Always one of the reasons i liked him.

I'm OK with the nepo-lite situation if the baby had to earn the respect of his peers after being given the opportunity and is competent. All parents try to help their children, some just have a lot more sway.

Yup, even if his dad used his influence to get him a job with the titans, which would be kinda strange, the fact he worked him way all the way up to the top from the bottom on his own should remove any worry about it.
