stizz Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 First off, let's be real here. We've got so many weapons on offense that each coordinator who has commandeered it will get HC consideration. Happened with Dirk, happened with Mularkey, and it will definitely happen with Kyle.That being said, Kyle has never looked this good and has never had this type of personnel. While he's putting guys in incredible positions to succeed, I don't see that happening with other potential vacancies around the league.HOU: Terrible offensively. Garbage fire at QB and we know how quickly that made Kyle want to get out of CLE. HOU is the city making the most smoke about hiring Kyle.MIA: Very talented recievers, but a QB who cannot be trusted and has choked down the stretch past two seasons.TB: Huge question mark with Jameis. Goes back to Kyle's days in CLE needing a steady QB.PHI: Definitely a huge possibility. If Chip is ousted, that team has some pieces on offense to be dangerous IF they can find that QB. More weapons than in HOU or TB to make Kyle think on it.I think Kyle is here for atleast one more season, but it's good to see our guys get recognition for their good work. If he were to be hired away after this year, I hope Q just keeps one of his disciples as the new coordinator to avoid drastic personnel/scheme changes.

pzummo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think it depends. If he wants to leave, he'll get a HC job. If he wants a Super Bowl, he'll stick around for a few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never had an offense like this and to be honest a janitor could still lead this team to a top 10 offensive ranking.He absolutely deserves credit, but teams are in for a surprise if they think he'll turn pumpkin QB's into Cinderellas.

hjerry Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 He needs more than one successful season. As much as I've loved him here, it's too soon for him. He's not ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazbykr Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think he loves the mix of talent he has here. I also can see AB paying him VERY well to stay! It's early still but damm I like what he presents each week. His adjustments during the game are wildly good. Not to be knocking our past mix of plays and OC, but even I could tell you what was coming by the way we lined up. I love our D but our "O" is just fun to watch.

A Pimp Named Slickback™ Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Plus as good as his system is, it's not like our offense was garbage before he got here. He added much needed balance, and improved the run game, but we had a top 10 offense before his arrival. He is a very good play caller, and I like that.

AndySG Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 There will be the offers, but are they the right offers? Miami would probably be attractive, as would the Giants if Coughlin went. It needs to be a team with a franchise QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuego Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'll say what I said in another thread. I think the players make Shanahan more than he makes the players. Matt and Julio were already good. Shanahan makes good players even better with scheme. But if he goes to a team with not much talent, which would likely be the case because he would be being hired by a team that just fired its coach for losing, then he's not gonna change that team I don't think. Take his time at Cleveland. What did he do there? He didn't have the talent. Here he does. He has some talent in Washington before it went south on him. Head coaching material? Nope. At least not yet. Needs a few more years here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think it depends. If he wants to leave, he'll get a HC job. If he wants a Super Bowl, he'll stick around for a few seasons.I see him staying for at least two seasons. After that, it will depend on how attractive the HC offers are at that point in time. I think he could benefit tremendously by staying here long enough for the Falcons to win a Super Bowl, even if that takes three years. That SB win always looks good on a coach's resume the rest of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Cooper Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Seriously please stop saying this. I feel like you are jinxing us. I knew when we hired him it could be one and done, but I hope he has been in the league long enough to know that when you have the chemistry he has with Ryan and Julio and Freeman and etc, he can be Bill Walsh or Mike McCarthy as the OC without having to take a promotion to HC. Its the connection an elite QB shares with an elite play caller that makes that once in a generation thing that just works. I really hope his success in what he does best right now is more important than being the top dog when he is only 35 years old. Enjoy the ride atleast through Ryans career and then cash in with a sterling resume'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Manley Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 He needs more than one successful season. As much as I've loved him here, it's too soon for him. He's not ready.I'm with you, hjerry. He'd obviously be an asset for many teams, but I just don't see him having the leadership and motivational qualities needed in a head coach yet. He's young, and I think he will get there, but I think about watching team meetings on Hard Knocks, for example, and I just can't picture him leading a team in that capacity yet.

JayOzOne Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Give him credit. Our line is garbage on paper but sterling silver on the field, we are having success with second year and a rookie RBs, he thought to put Julio in multiple positions and thrown the defense off balance, and implemented a new scheme to relative success within one off-season. We haven't even seen the whole package yet. We wouldn't have this level of balance (or probably this level of success) with Mularkey or Koetter. I don't know if he's leaving soon it not, but I'm not going to say anybody else could look at our personnel and use it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQ isn't a big talker but he sure walks the walk. He's a players coach and that's what Shanny can learn from him for the next couple years. I'm pretty sure he'd wait for the Indy job to open up.

AAllInFlynn Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Well, let's see how this season pans out. Looks like this is a great fit for him and he can make personnel decisions when it comes to the offense. He may want to ride the #2 train a while before he makes the move. Just depends on his ego and aspirations. I hope he stays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartkowski Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Here's an idea.................lets "trade" Quinn and then make Shanahan our head coach! Brilliant huh? Now where did I put my crack pipe....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
