RWJ would be happy.
Listening to Keim's podcast, and again knowing Keim speak fairly well, you got to dramatize his understated points because his understatements tend to have more meaning, not always but most of the time.
I got the vibe that it definitely could go down and soon. It felt mutual. That is, Kliff's interest in HC opportunities could be partly about him wanting to leave. I wouldn't blame him, he had a GM who gave him lemons to work with, with no depth, let alone have to overcome that poorly constructed defense
As to Quinn, Keim said he's guiding this not Peters and his feeling is it wasn't about performance but philisophy. To me some of the explanation came off as being about the defense. The defense doesn't get a chance to practice much against motion and some of the things Kliff's offense doesn't major in.
Keim didn't say this but the other thing is with the fast paced offense, the defense is on the field more. One way to mask a bad defense and or inflate their numbers is via ball control which happened last season but not this one. I would say last off season that the defense is much worse than it looks to some but the offense would disguise some of its flaws.
The downsides to this: you are likely losing all the assistants including Blough. See ya Mariota who loves this offense and gushes about it specifically he said it allows him to see the field in ways he couldn't before and the preperation for games are unique and outstanding.
And Jayden will lose his binky. The odds that you find an offensive coordinator with Kliff's work ethic is almost zero. So Jayden will not only have to learn a new offense but forget the 4:30 AM walk throughs of the game plan with the coordinator, he will have to suck it up and learn to do it on his own. While I agree with those who said Jayden's mom shouldn't butt in -- I get why she did -- her son would not just have to learn a new offense but his regimen would likely have to change too and Jayden by reputation is a very regimented guy.
Keim said Jayden's love of working with Kliff and running this offense is genuine and not just token public comments. I know some think who care what Jayden thinks. That's cool. But for a team that IMO is doing him no favors on other fronts. I wonder if at some point this becomes a place where Jayden thinks to himself lol I've been warned about Washington not being a place where a QB thrives, I am starting to get why, etc.
I don't think there are a lot of sexy options among the firings. Stephanski Is likely getting a HC job. Daboll I keep reading heading to Vegas also Daboll really leans in hard on the QB running. As to Slowik, I read about why they fired him, seemed to be mostly about how they struggled with innovative defenses that used stunts, etc and didn't see Stroud progressing under him. Some insider type forgetting whom mentioned maybe Brian Johnson from the staff.
From AI -- but maybe if so he grew in the last two years?
Johnson's playcalling was criticized throughout the season, with pundits and players calling Johnson's offense too simplistic and akin to a Madden offense with the way Johnson repeatedly relied on screen passes and go routes instead of scheming players open.
Johnson was fired following the season.
