Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

I had to step away from Reddit because people are in meltdown mode and already calling next season a wash.

I feel like we did put all our eggs in the basket with Johnson and then were screwed when he decided to stay. I’m not thrilled with Quinn but I’m willing to wait to see who our OC and DC are going to be.

I think the fans put all their eggs on the Ben Johnson basket and decided that he was the only coach they would hire.

I also think it is funny that Andy Reid will be coaching in his fifth Super Bowl next week, and he's a "retread" that was hired 10 years ago when he was in his 50s.

Its done, move on. Out of interest, what scheme did Dallas play on D? This may keep J.Allen engaged in staying for a fast turnaround. Looks like the OC may come from SF and the DC from Dallas.

I think the media was also edging us with all the Johnson talk. Granted no legitimate reporter was saying it was a done deal but they were saying Johnson was far and away the frontrunner for the position.

Also I think fans are just traumatized with coaches over the years. The surrounding staff and the players are more important than the HC to me. He calls the shots but everyone else is crucial to player development and schemes.

This ownership has been tightlipped about what they are thinking and what they were planning to do. Keim has been saying in every single episode of his podcast that Johnson wasn't a done deal, that no one knew for sure whether he was actually the top candidate for this group, and that people outside of the team were saying that he was the favorite.

A lot of people in the NFL put Johnson as the favorite for every team, so are you saying that every team that hired someone else settled for their coach?


I am simply saying that if I had to wager whether Peters wanted BJ or Quinn and I had a chance to actually ask him I know where Id put my money.

Again I am not irate or in meltdown mode as reddit apparently is as per Rave, I am willing to give Quinn a chance. I am happy we have a GM in charge of personnel first and foremost and let’s see how Quinn fills out his staff. We got 9 picks , 6 of which are top 100 and a boatload of cap space. I am more amped than I have been in years.

Ben Johnson didn’t want to be a head coach, he’s choosing to stay in his current job as OC. That’s on him, not us.

MacDonald went with Seattle, can anyone blame him? They’ve been a well run franchise for years now and are in a much better position to win now. They also have a rocking stadium and fan base and gorgeous facilities. They also gave him a 6 year deal, perhaps that was more than we were willing to offer. Back up and look big picture, Seattle is a great job.

In the end you can’t always get what you want. Often in life you’re forced into other options and it’s totally out of your control but you make it work anyway.

It will take a lot from Dairy Queen to erase the memory of the 28-3 meltdown in his lone SB appearance. Ugh. Hope it’s better this time around. Just disappointing but not much to choose from.

I'm indifferent. Don't hate it, don't love it. Would have rather not had a retread but I get why they hired him. He's got HC experience and knows how to run a team. Time to move forward.

you still have the right to be disappointed

That SB w/ the Falcons was one of the worst choke jobs I have ever seen. But at least he got a team there.

The last time we saw his defense they were getting their shit pushed in by Green Bay.

This is such a yawn hire. But do I think this is an upgrade from Ron? Idk. Probably. He'll have less to deal with and can just focus on the team. Let's see who he hires as an OC.
