Not a very inspiring list

We go to lengths bashing the so called weak class of QBs, but don't do the same for this years coach/GM carousel

The two potential HCs who really intrigue me are Todd Monken, the OC of the Ravens and Jesse Minter, the DC of the Chargers.  Monken has worked wonders with Lamar Jackson since he became OC following the same stint at UGA.  Jackson is a more complete passer who now can hit all areas of the field more accurately especially standing flat footed in the pocket.  Monken has also become a great play caller as he utilizes Jackson to run as much it seems as Derrick Henry plus lots of crossing routes to get Flowers open.

Jesse Minter has been nothing short of brilliant first at Michigan as DC and now with the Chargers.  In Bama's loss to Michigan, Saban said Minter called coverages he's never seen before and which really confused the offense.  That's high praise from a legend.  In Minter's first year as Chargers, DC, they are top 3.  Players both at Michigan and the Chargers raved about his schemes, but about how well he teaches and communicates with them.  Minter coached under both John and Jim Harbaugh.

Ray Agnew would at first glance seem intriguing as a GM coming out of the Lions, however, he joined in 2021.  I am not sure how much influence he has had there.  I'd love to steal Eric DeCosta from the Ravens who is already a GM there and has been there since 1996.

You have no clue who might turn into a good coach or not. How many predicted young Sean McVay would turn out to be one of the best HCs in the NFL? Or John Harbaugh when he was hired. Hire the right guy. Do your research. The Giants blew it three years ago when they hired Daboll over Flores. Time to get it right.

Same logic goes to the QBs as well

Yes but because of that you do not shy away from taking one. There are no sure things in life.

I remember a time when the Pats and Seahawks were dragged for hiring Belichek and Carroll. You just never know.
