    I think some of you are overthinking this and glorifying/overrating these said “brilliant minds”, the Seahawks don’t need a tactician in the OC role, they need a vet/proven playcaller who can lead men (not only players, but other coaches too!) and operate the whole unit, think about what Wade Phillips was in McVay’s first two years as HC. Please don’t experiment or overcomplicate this, we don’t need the Good Will Hunting of Football. I mean, look at his role according to his own boss “assistant offensive coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach.” His unofficial roles include: mentor to McCarthy; post-practice pass rusher or receiver for Sam Darnold; advance scout and practice lieutenant for Phillips; complement to QB coach Josh McCown; “Crazy Grant” to O’Connell’s kids; confidant, protégé and occasional comedic target for O’Connell. The Seahawks simply need a coach who is able to play complimentary football, consistently produce extended drives and don’t mess up in the red zone or allow your unit to abuse flags and turnovers. Not rocket science.

    McVay was promoted to by OC by Washington with no play calling experience. After two successful seasons working with Cousins he became HC of the Rams. If they think he's on a similar trajectory, then why not. It's definitely going to be an interesting hiring process. Excited to see who gets the job. Thank for the updates on Current and Possible candidates Rob. Keep up the great content.

    Geno is a very solid bridge QB, but there needs to be something on the other side of the bridge to build and look forward to! That's the problem with being around 9-8 every season. You only sometimes make the playoffs, and if you do you're one and done because you can't compete with the best teams in the NFC, but you also don't get any top 5-10 draft picks that could be used to get your young franchise QB! I'm not advocating for tanking, but I also acknowledge that a lot of teams have to really suck for a couple years to get those high draft picks that turn into your blue chip players you can build around, including your franchise QB!

    • @Jason-lk9yi
      @Jason-lk9yi 2 дні тому

      I agree, that's why I'd trade both Geno and Walker for 2026 draft capital. Then I'd invest heavily in the O-line, and find a cheap QB for 1 year, even if it means playing 900k per year Sam Howell for 1 year, if they only win 5 games so be it, the O-line will have a year to gel together, then I'd take that high pick and draft capital and go after one of the best QB's in the 2026 draft. Sometimes a team needs to take a step back in order to take multiple steps forward. Also, it's not tanking if Howell is giving it his all, along with the rest of the players.

    • @Jason-lk9yi

    I'm just done w/Geno. Like Mike Sando said yesterday on the Hawkblogger podcast 'its the constant RedZone brain farting' that's made him so polarized and unpopular with this fan base (plus, the piss poor home record and play of the offense in general at Lumen). If we can't get Darnold, I'm ready to take Zach Wilson on the cheap and spent booku bucks on our o-line to protect him. I have seen games where Wilson beat the brakes off Josh Allen. He's shown some real flash as to why he went 2 in his draft IMO...and if I'm wrong maybe we'll be in the running to take a high pick at QB in 2026

    • @bretkester8316
      @bretkester8316 2 дні тому

    • @zappadadooi90
      @zappadadooi90 2 дні тому

      I see your point Wilson's had some Levis-like character issues. But I'm hoping getting traded away and downgraded to being a rookies backup has humbled him a bit. The dude was constantly compared to Mahomes his last year at BYU...do I think he has more upside and chance for a Darnoldesque projection/reclaimation than Jones or Howell. Yes. Most importantly he'd be a tenth the cost of Geno

    • @bretkester8316
      @bretkester8316 2 дні тому

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@zappadadooi90Levis didn’t have any of those issues. He was said to be too cocky and could rub people the wrong way. People worried about Wilson’s maturity and motivation; how much he cared or if he would even work at it. And comparing him to Mahomes would have been a bad comparison. He’s ran off script too much and was just a better athlete. I don’t think there is a point in brining him in, or either Jones, Howell, anyone else that hasn’t shown much of anything. Daniel Jones has at least played well, even if it was for one season. Better to just bring in a veteran that can play competently and be cheap. Then just draft someone late for that same hope and no character issues. But I 💯 get the mindset. The hope of catching SOMETHING when there a really isn’t any other option. If they do it, I’ll be rooting for it to work.

    Feel like we don’t give Mike enough credit for what he brings on a defensive level. Ernest jones and spoon bring up how he’s always one step ahead of offenses and having him is like having a 12th man on the field as a coach. Can’t point to a single player on the defense this year that can say they got worse from the year before. Many breakouts were from the defensive side of the ball. The ETHOS of this team is defense. Having an offensive minded coach is cool but the reality is, defenses eventually adapt, on top of the fact that your success as an OC is dependent on the QB position. If you can get the QB position right, the offense will be good. McDermott and demeco Ryan’s are good examples of this. We don’t discuss these things when we discuss HC candidates.
