Also a DC that fits your players.


And hire Raheem Morris.
Yeah I threw that out without checking because he is a name noted for defense and he was good enough at it to land a head coaching job. Those numbers are a bit surprising.


Bellichick, we know or it was heavily spoken about at least - Kraft poisoned the well very successfully.I am not sure why Raheem got the job. They interviewed a lot of candidates.

The Falcons interviewed 14 different head coaching candidates, including Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and Jim Harbaugh.
But it’s Raheem Morris who ends up getting the job and returns to the NFC South, where he was once the head coach in Tampa Bay
The fact he's never even had a top-15 defense scares me, plus those pass defenses...His stats as a DC aren't very impressive.
What has KK done here that would make people speculate that he is a head coaching candidate?


His performance in Arizona wasn't much to write home about, even admitting Bidwill is one step up from pond scum.
Put another way he had one good season in 4.I hear this said a lot - but he took them from 3 wins the year prior to his hiring to 5, then 8, then 11 and a playoff appearance in his first 2 seasons. They got knocked out in the wildcard round by the eventual SB champion Rams. His 4th season was a disaster, losing Murray to an ACL tear, losing TJ Watt for the season, and Deandre Hopkins getting a 6 game suspension. And of course he got fired. But I think he was better in Arizona than he gets credit for.

Maybe not terrible but not good either.
I think his biggest downfall though was his teams penchant for starting strong and petering out.
That's usually a kiss of death for a leader.
Part of Kingsbury's issues were that his handpicked quarterback, Murray, was put in a scheme where success was based largely on his dual threat and over time his size compromised his availability.Well, I would probably describe it as him taking a very bad 3 win team and improving their record 3 straight seasons, but ...
It is fair to say his teams in Arizona generally started out very strong but faded down the stretch.
I'm not arguing he was great in Arizona, but folks talk like he was an unmitigated disaster and I don't think that's accurate.

Sound familiar?
I want to see a scheme in DC where the quarterback is able to stay upright for 17 games and run only when he has to, not because the team doesn't invest in the RB or TE positions to get the tough 3-4 yards.
