Just terrible. They were in perfect position to turn everything around with their draft position and available salary cap. They needed to get a great offensive-minded coach and pair him with the top QB they can get in the draft. This was the key moment for new ownership to change everything.
But no, instead they bring in a defensive-minded retread coach whose last game of the season saw his team give up 48 points to the Packers. [Reply]

EB has value as a bad cop to instill discipline to compliment Andy Reid in KC, but that doesn’t translate outside of KC without Andy/Mahomes.
So when Washington fires him he's coming back here huh? [Reply]
You have the #2 pick to draft your QBOTF, a shit ton of cap space, and you go with a DC who lost a SB as a HC after getting a 28-3 lead and who also just got his shit pushed in by LaFleur?
Not to mention:
Had Dan Quinn taken a HC job last year, he’d have taken Brian Schottenheimer with him as offensive coordinator. More complicated this time around, bc Schottenheimer has the OC title in Dallas now (Would the Cowboys let him out to call plays for a division rival?).
