Wow. Overreact anyone?
IF McDaniels is hired as the OC, then I am fine with it.
1) We know already they aren't going to get rid of Cassel this year, so I've given up worrying about it. Waste of breath. Might as well put him in the best position to succeed if that involves bringing in a coach who he is comfortable with and vice versa. Either he plays like an average to a sometimes slightly above average QB and helps this team get back to the playoffs, or he falls flat on his face. Either way, next year is probably the more logical time to start looking for his replacement than this year, because I don't think we're going to be able to leapfrog and outbid teams to move up for RG3.
2) If we hire McDaniels and put a dynamic offense on the field to go with an up and coming defense and win over the next three years or so, I would have no issue with him succeeding Crennel as the HC, because it would provide continuity to a winning program and he would not be calling the personnel shots. If instead the offense continues to suck and we continue to be a mediocre team, none of these guys are going to be around in a couple of years anyway and we'll be looking to hire the next big thing.
At the end of the day, if this is what Pioli wants, then it better translate into W's, otherwise he's done. The offense was pretty decent under another ex-Pats OC, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it if he does come here. I would be really pissed however if we hired yet another OL coach to be the OC, or did something like promote Maurice Carthon to that role...
