Understanding the evolving history of business management buzzwords doesn't require any intelligence at all, only patience and a little bit of self-loathing. :)

Just trying to give people my opinion on why Ross does some of the seemingly odd things he does.

Not that Ross could land him if he wanted, but what do you think of Dan Quinn?

Also, is the thing about Jameis about the coke rumor or something different?

Dan Quinn? I honestly don't know. I'm leery like Walrus of hiring a Seahawks assistant because I think Pete Carroll is the real genius there.

I had no clue about any coke rumors. I've heard different things from two people now on what's going on there behind the scenes. Some of the stuff I was told was both specific & graphic. If that stuff becomes a matter of public discourse, it WILL ruin his draft stock, especially in light of recent happenings around the league.

Is that all you can give me?

If we went the college route I would prefer either David Shaw at Stanford or Charlie Strong at Texas. Both of those coaches are strong leaders which is something we desperately need. However Dan Quinn would be my overwhelming choice. IMO he's the best choice because of his NFL experience, work ethic, and success as a DC. Also he is a leader. If we change coaches it is imperative we get a leader.

After strong acted like a little bee-ach last year when UCF beat him I don't want him anywhere near this team.

You mean a guy who upgraded a unit in his first year as a defensive coordinator? And has their talent fully maxed out? In his first year as a DC he led the defense to #1 in PPG, #1 in takeaways, #2 in Redzone D, #6 in 3rd down D. And held arguably the greatest offense to 8 points in the super bowl. 8. No doubt Carroll helps with the defense, and they are extremely talented. But that defense could not be any better than it is. That's what good coaching does for you.

The key pieces of that defense were all on the young side their prime when Quinn took over. The natural progression would have been up regardless of their defensive coordinator.

I'm a bit puzzled why you think this resume is helpful to his case in general. What it shows is that he's never been a head coach at any level and -- counting this year -- he's only been a coordinator for five years, two of them in the pros.

Dan Quinn could be the greatest head coach in NFL history. There's no way to know. I'm just saying that the case for him really isn't all that different than the case for, say, Adam Gase. You hire guys like this at your peril.
 
I pick other, give me Todd Bowles...he knows the area and division well.....he coached well for us as a DC and as Interim HC....I was ok with not hiring him when Sparano got the ax only because we needed a fresh start....I think working for one of top 3 coaches in the game the last 3 yrs will make him a better HC.....if someone is going to get something out of Jordan he can....

I didn't have the time to posts the stats but it's original purpose was show how successful all of his units has been with each team. The man's a very good coach.
 
Harbough's reason a few years ago for not coming year was family OR that we had a coach already?

What was the official reasoning?

Judging the performance of a position coach by how a defensive unit as a whole performs is dubious. You can't make the inference you're trying to make.

In any case, even if he was a stellar position coach, it wouldn't mean he would be a stellar coordinator. Look no further than Kevin Coyle. And even if you're a stellar coordinator it doesn't mean you're going to be a great head coach. It's too hard to project.

I just don't think you help yourself by targeting the coordinator of the offense or defense du jour. It makes it too easy to blind yourself to the true abilities of the person you're dealing with. We've made that error already a few times now and should be learning from it. Both Cameron and Philbin seemed stiff and bland from day one, yet we (and Huizenga and Ross) allowed their recent successes to overwhelm what in retrospect seems obvious.
