If McDaniel gets the job

I heard a stat the other day that Shanahan and McDaniel have only had one top ten rated Offense ever, that was 2019 and it was ranked 9th. For the "brightest offensive mind in the game", that's not particularly impressive. To answer the question, all will depend on the staff he can bring in, he's not going to coach that line himself, pretty sure about that.

I wonder how much of what Jeanpierre did, or didn't do, was at Flores insistence?

It’s a good question. A lot of different angles here.

It really seemed like the line was completely confused by simple stunts. Like they had no idea how to react. That’s definitely on the coaching. But you’d think that would be a major priority.

Are you wondering if the Flores plan to sabotage the team also involved hiring an incompetent offensive line coach and not worrying whether the line could protect Tua? Hmmm…
 
Potentially, I think we could see some young players actually develop. I still think two starters in free agency, but ultimately some young player either on the team or in the draft will have to step up.

Now that I look back, perhaps the jettisoning of any veteran linemen was solely because he didn't want any experienced voices giving their insight and opinions?

If so, that is a true egotist.

I'm implying that based on Flores recent public statements, he is no longer credible.

I believe Flores may have been highly involved in overseeing what his coaches were doing and wouldn't hesitate to require actions inconsistent with what was really needed, due to his tyrannical character and clear belief that he is the smartest man in the room.

I have no information as to what did or didn't happen, but at this point I'm putting any coaching related failures as directly attributable to him. He selected the coaches we hired and was responsible for their effectiveness as the HC.

He certainly seemed to take that approach, generally. Sure, there were cap implications/savings, but he loved dumping veteran players.

There were a lot of ponderous moves - McKinney, Flowers, Van Noy, etc.

The cap implications were minimal with a guy like Flowers. Yes, we were overpaying, but we ended up paying a substantial portion of the contract anyway.
