Big hire. Feels like one of those ones that is either going to be a home run or a bust.

Seems like a good fit with the offensive talent on deck. He will need a good DC

Kafka might be going to NO.

Yes please, an extra 3rd in the next two drafts would be huge

I have no idea what kind of a HC he will make, but so many HC hires just because he's been a good player caller. I wonder how in depth the interview process goes to match them to the Job Description of a HC. In this case, he's got to be a nice upgrade.

What would we get if the Raiders sign Brown to be their GM ?

If Kafka is hired then it looks like Daboll will be calling the plays again. " To quote Julia Roberts ," Big Mistake , Huge Mistake "  Not Kafka leaving , but Daboll calling the plays again. He is not Andy Reed or McVay. No decent OC would come to the Giants . Maybe Tierney , I think that is his name , could be promoted.

My choice , however, would be to try and hire Davis Webb away from the Broncos . He is only the QB coach there .

When a very young coordinator has "demands" yet has never been a head coach, I say a hard pass.  Joe Brady was the OC of the LSU Tigers when they won the NC with Joe Burrow.  He flamed out big time as Panthers OC.  Fired I think after one year.

I believe it would be the same thing, a 3rd in 2025 and one more 3rd in 2026.

If they both got jobs, it would be 2 in each of the next two draft. I may be mistaken but I believe that is the case

There is always the question about whether a 1st time HC can make the transition from coordinator.  I think it will be interesting to see if Ben Johnson can tailor his offense to a totally different type of QB than Goff.

Ed,

I have been listening to insiders talk about the process.  From what they describe, it varies greatly.  Some teams perform well-thought-out deep dive interviews, while other teams not so much.

I believe he will choose DEnnis Allen formerly of the Saints
