if they just handed it to a guy like Mo Carthon I'd be bummed.

I'd rather a guy with OC experience and not an assistant coach promoted for his first shot at play calling. That would be five steps backwards for the ten steps forward the team has taken this year.

Something that really bothers me is the fact that the Cowboys, with Garrett calling the plays, seemed to forget that they had a couple of good RBs, but as soon as Phillips was fired, Garrett magically discoverd the ground game.

I'm not sayin', but I'm just sayin'.

I don't like him at all either to be honest. I'm just saying guys from the Parcells tree.

Just curious, why don't some want Mo getting this job?

He sucked badly under Romeo as the OC in Cleveland. Think of Solari and Raye having a brother, and then triple the suckage and lack of imagination...

Maurice Carthon resigned as Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator on October 24, 2006 after Cleveland managed only seven points against the Denver Broncos. Under Carthon, the Browns had managed a league-low 232 points in 2005 and had only scored 88 points through six games in 2006. Carthon was the third NFL offensive coordinator to be fired during the 2006 season. Fans—obviously fed up with Carthon—started the "Mo's Gotta Go" movement in October 2006. A website www.firemauricecarthon.com was created to express some fans' displeasure.

Carthon has been an offensive coordinator for three teams

I agree with the first sentence. Not so much the second part. Every coordinator out there has to have his first chance. If Haley is grooming someone for this job then I could see it happening. I don't think Haley has forgotten people have taken chances with him.

I agree, however it would seem to clash with what Haley has been saying all year which is that this team is still in the developmental stage. I think you can give a young guy a shot when he's had multiple years of experience and you are dealing with a veteran offensive team. For all intents and purposes, this is still a developing offense that's finding its identity and it's going to face a much tougher schedule next year, so to me I wouldn't want to put an inexperienced guy in charge for that scenario...

What is up with that?

Most always is the case...

If Haley is in charge of the offense during the week, and Weis is just calling the plays as Haley wants him to as has been suggested here, then why couldn't a guy that Haley has been training for 2 years do that?

Haley has earned my trust. What he has done here in a short time has been nothing short of remarkable. If he does go with inexperience, he must have a good reason.

There ARE and will many good possibilities out there for Weis's replacement. But Weis is obviously a great QB developer, and the work with Cassel is still far from done. That's why I think it makes a w\hole lot of sense to hire McDaniels to take over. Especially with his familiarity with Cassel.

My thoughts as well. Reminds me of when Marty's OC (the name escapes me) announced he had accepted the USC job right before the playoffs. It really hurt the team's PO performance.

On the run and don't have time to read through the whole thread. Can someone give me a rundown on what happened or was said, is this a for sure thing? Thanks in advance!

Multiple outlets and sources are saying that Weis is leaving after the season. Haley has neither confirmed or denied. Most are implying it's likely due to a personality conflict or a case of one not having as much oversight as they want on the offense. Many of the rumors say he is taking the Florida OC job, however that is not confirmed and there is a possibility of him going elsewhere. Mortensen has said McDaniels is a possible replacement but others like Glazer are saying that's not likely as long as Haley is in charge...

1- Good. You can leave this forum then.

2- McD as Donks HC and having all the power sucked. McD as Chiefs OC an on a leash will be awesome. Not the same.

How did you like Shanahan?

I actually think that's a great fit. It may very well be a blessing in disguise if Weis leaves now that McDouche is still available.
