They ran a lot with Manuel. How is that coaxing a great season out of him? Kyle Orton they passed better but then couldn't run? and I would hardly call a 29th ranking successful. Klint Kubiak did better than that here.

ratoppenheimer -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/26/2022 11:02:32 AM)
. . surprise.... Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter Vikings hired Browns’ VP of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as their general manager, per source.

Daniel Lee Young -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/26/2022 12:52:15 PM)
Well if this is in fact, true, the process is under way… Still no analysis from me till I see who coach is and contract/ player evaluations take place, and at least a draft..

DavidAOlson -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/26/2022 7:15:22 PM)
Well, they got the GM that popped as my favorite in the coverage I saw. Analytical, seems willing to take considered risks for a big payoff. I don't have a favorite coaching candidate, but Morris seems like a solid candidate because of his flexibility. Of the guys who are popping, he seems like the safer choice. DeMeco Ryans is touted as the most likely choice, and I kinda have a preference for him because he'll either be a superstar or a whiff. And I'd rather they swing for the fence.

marty -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/26/2022 7:45:16 PM)
I prefer Doug Pederson, would be very happy with Joe Barry (Pack DC) as it also weakens the Pack, but there is a lot to like about DeMeco Ryans. Maybe I was giving the cold weather too much credit for shutting down Rodgers: https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/1/25/22900947/49ers-defense-ryans-armstead-playoffs-packers

ratoppenheimer -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 1:32:32 PM)
. . i wonder if pederson is even interested.... Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin That would put the Vikings coaching search down to six candidates after Dan Quinn removed his name from consideration & Nathaniel Hackett was hired by Denver this morning. Other candidates: Kevin O'Connell, DeMeco Ryans, Raheem Morris, Todd Bowles, Jonathan Gannon, Kellen Moore. Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero Dan Quinn has informed teams that he’s staying with the #Cowboys, per sources. Six teams requested head-coaching interviews with Quinn, who decided he wanted to return to Dallas and try to win a Super Bowl. He should be a hot name again next year.

ronhextall -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 3:24:40 PM)
My Monday says Jerry Jones told Quinn the HC job is all his if next year doesn’t work.

marty -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 7:12:46 PM)
I LOVE that Denver took Hackett, I didn't want him after that last game. It was a poor approach to a very cold game. It's great the Packers lost a decent OC (not going to over-value one poor playoff game), and someone Rodgers liked, which further sets in motion Rodgers leaving.

marty -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 7:16:21 PM)
Glad the Vikings aren't getting Quinn nor Hackett. My favorites of Doug Pederson, Joe Barry and DeMeco Ryans are all still available.

Bill Johanesen -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 8:51:33 PM)
marty is quite verbal about the pack losing The Hack.

Ricky J -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/27/2022 8:57:35 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: ronhextall My Monday says Jerry Jones told Quinn the HC job is all his if next year doesn’t work. Nah, he knew he wasn't getting any of the jobs out there so he's trying to save face.

Chris Olson -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 9:03:05 AM)
the Purple FTW! video on O'Connell is interesting I really would rather see Ryans or Morris (from those discussed as favorites), but KOC is intriguing on a lot of levels more aggressive playcaller for sure the Cousins connection is interesting from 2017...it would say a lot about how he feels about Kirk, how he would use him and so forth...I wonder if the interview process might weed out some answers for the FO about whether another year with Cousins could be salvageable... I also wonder if bringing in Morris, he could bring KOC with him if they made him OC/asst HC...does that make it not a lateral move and the Rams couldn't block it? idk, just some speculation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7wGW9rZvuU

Chris Olson -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 9:09:14 AM)
the longer the search goes seems like it will hinge on guys still coaching... I think all my favorites are still in it...Ryans and Morris especially Flores is the only one not coaching right now that I'd shoot for...but there is not much talk about him

Chris Olson -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 9:12:04 AM)
I also wonder about whether it matters if KAM has any previous connections with coaching candidates seems like everyone wants to tag someone that was with SF at some time that he was there namely, Ryans and O'Connell

ratoppenheimer -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 11:36:21 AM)
. . Todd Archer@toddarcher Jerry Jones believes Kellen Moore will also return to the team in 2022, and said on 105.3 The Fan that is something he wants. Moore is in the mix with a few jobs that remain open. Courtney Cronin@CourtneyRCronin Not that Kellen Moore's name has been heavy in the Vikings coaching search after his initial interview, but this would eliminate another candidate from Minnesota's pool. deed@jupmaan Replying to @CourtneyRCronin Who is the candidate that seems to be the center focus of the search currently? The news interviewing of Patrick Graham makes it feel like they haven’t found a guy they want yet.

Ricky J -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 1:21:28 PM)
Kinda wondering if Adoto-Mensah is thinking someone like him, no first hand exp, not so much as they deserve a shot as much as he'd be able to shape the position with his vision more so than someone that's looking to rebound doing it his way. Who knows ... prob a reach but there might be something to it ,

I think he better hire a coach that knows what they are doing and how they want to do it. Adota better stick to personnel and let the coach "coach".

marty -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 3:15:56 PM)
What about getting Jerry Gray back, and making him the defensive coordinator ? (This is a hypothetical question for after the HC is already chosen)

David Levine -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 3:52:26 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: marty What about getting Jerry Gray back, and making him the defensive coordinator ? (This is a hypothetical question for after the HC is already chosen) Why? Have our DBs ever been the strength of our defense under Gray?

marty -> RE: Our New Head Coach (1/28/2022 5:33:52 PM)
Our DBs did ok until he left, and Green Bays' DB have done very well.
