Not knowing what type of OC/DC/SP-T coordinators and position coaches these candidates could assemble (bring to the table) is another key factor to contemplate. Getting these complementary support pieces correct, will be a key benefactor for the new HC to be successful.
We all know a new HC (no matter how good his resume is) can slip up and put together a lower pedigree of yes sir, puppet staff members that can handicap a team before it even gets started.
Do we assume that the better known rumored offensive candidates like a Shanahan-Gruden Peyton etc.. will be calling the plays on game days? Probably so.....
Who would utilize (have the best resources/Intel/connections) for pulling in top flight/pedigree or (under the radar) coordinators/assistants to fit their culture/vision?
Who would be the best at delegating coaching responsibilities/personnel matters/decisions so they don't burn out sooner than later?
Who would be the best leader of young rich professional athletes?
Most of us would have to agree that several intangibles make up a coaches pedigree and ability to lead and succeed.. Many people tend to brand former fired NFL HC's as failed retreads. I hear things like he's too young and will be in over his head.
He's only been a head coach in the college ranks. I think he's best as a coordinator and doesn't have the leadership qualities to lead an entire team and coaching staff.
I like many of the rumored candidates for different reasons and I have no clue for who the sure fire, best fit lock at this early stage in the search.
I like K.Shanahan. I like Gruden and Peyton and D.Shaw if they become realistic options. Nobody stands out head and shoulders as the best bet peoples champion..
Mr. Kroenke, please have the best resources with highest NFL IQ's on your search team. We loyal Rams fans need you to get this selection right.
So many intangibles, moving parts and required complementary pieces
involved for a HC to be his best.
