Lane Kiffin for OC?

[thecore762]

If Josh McDaniels leaves, should we consider Lane Kiffin as OC? He sucks as a head coach, but I think he can be good as a OC.
I am not seeing anyone else in the league that is available to qualify as a OC for our team.

Can these threads stop already...

So many variables to consider, but I think you may be overthinking this issue:

1) Does McDaniels even end up leaving? He's paid handsomely, has a great rapport with Kraft, Belichick, and Brady, and is experiencing a once in a lifetime opportunity. He didn't take any interviews last week, and some of those positions have been/are being filled. It would appear as though JMcD isn't quite as concerned about leaving as some may have you believe. Hopefully, he won't have the opportunity again for another couple of weeks, and by then even more positions will have been filled.

2) It would depend on whether Lane Kiffen would even want to leave. He's coaching with (arguably) the best college coach that there is at a major program which is always in the thick of the championship hunt.

3) It would depend whether Bill Belichick would want him here. He's been a bit of a controversial coach, and comes off as a bit arrogant to me. Is this the kind of coach that Belichick normally targets?

4) The difference in systems obviously comes into play here.

5) We don't really "need" an OC, per se. At least not in the sense that they can't wait a year or two to groom/choose their replacement.

6) If McDaniels leaves, my guess is that we'd promote someone from within who knows the system well.

Thanks, anyway. It's Brian Daboll.

The last thing we need is to change this offense at this time ... what would be the point?
The offense can and will be changed post Brady and/or if Brady's skills diminish too much.
If McDaniels leaves then Daboll gets the job ... perhaps with a few tweaks but no need for great change at all.

 

[Wheelman]

No! FFS! No outsiders are going to be OC's for us. We build from within.

Daboll and Kiffin.... Brady's going to wonder what the hell he did to piss BB off.

 

[Gronkowski123]

o'brien will be available next season!!

 

[Huckleberry1]

What a horrible idea.

 

[Froob]

Why do people think BB is going to bring someone to run a different system here?

 

[IllegalContact]

just as with the bourne movies........we should go back to where it started

Charlie Weis

or is it the Blus Brothers 'we gotta get the band back together'

 

[Kontradiction]

Daboll becoming the OC is what I fear the most about McDaniels taking a head coaching job.

That would be really stupid of Houston if they did that.

Yep. BB is not going outside the org for this role. Promote from within.

Daboll is that bad? Weiss is available interestingly enough. Not sure if the system he ran in 2004 is all that similar to now though.

Besides having crappy organizations, coaches and players to work with in CLE and MIA why do you think Daboll sucks?

I think Charlie is enjoying retirement.

Looks like the Tide doesn't want him either...
