The Rookie
Obviously the most accurate answer is "both", but if I had to pick... I'd say for the 2024 season it was Quinn, but over the long term it will be Peters.
This may be a cop out but i dont think either one can get 'more' credit than the other. Peters worked with Quinn to get the groceries, Quinn cooked the meal. The two go hand in hand, not sure either deserves 'more'
A Super Bowl is pretty good. Plus, the man got to the playoffs twice under Snyder and Vinny Cerrato after being ten years out of the game. Plus, he took a team of castoff scabs and beat NFL rosters with most of their stars intact.What did Gibbs accomplish without Bobby Beathard?
Entirely fair. It's like posting rookie gradesThe problem is - we only have one year of data/results.
Exactly - we may not ever know. There are obvious reasons for the team to paint the history in a certain brush, which is why when the stories are fresh it is sometimes good to put it down somewhere - why not here?The problem is - we only have one year of data/results. It's way too early to judge whether Quinn was the right hire. Great start, there's no debating that. And of course acquiring Jayden Daniels makes a HC hire grade tougher because he'd likely make most coaches look pretty smart. The other thing that's weird is, if the driving force in the decision were all the 'serious culture and chemistry matches', why were we reportedly enroute to hire someone else when it fell apart. Maybe that part - the actual offering of a job was on the table at that final Ben Johnson meeting, is wrong. Possible it hadn't progressed to that point and they still would've gone with DQ, we may not ever know.
On Mike McDonald, we had insider information on that one. What we were hearing is that McDonald wanted the Washington job badly, as did his spouse, but the timing didn't work out. Quite possible had he been more inclined to being patient, he may well have gotten the nod after Johnson got squirrely. I think McDonald is going to be a very good HC. Johnson, not so much. Good stuff SkinsNumberOne
I feel like this is such an understated truth. One of the reasons, maybe the biggest behind Snyder being the owner, was that I rarely felt like there was synergy between the GM and the Coach.This may be a cop out but i dont think either one can get 'more' credit than the other.
