Podcast: Brainiac or Maniac? Choose your head coach...
If you're hiring a head coach and trying to rebuild an NFL franchise, which road do you take? Is it a blend? We discuss on the Go Long Podcast with co-host Jim Monos.
All teams take on the personality of their head coach. That’s been the case for decades. And now, more than ever, NFL teams are thinking outside the box.
We see a blend of everything. Dan Campbell wants to fight you. Mike McDaniel wants to out-scheme you. If you’re the GM of a team starting from scratch, which direction do you go? That question is posed to co-host Jim Monos, who has worked in NFL front offices for two decades and is now the XFL’s director of football operations.
As Jamaal Williams explained, Campbell is trying to throw teams into “the deep end.” Meanwhile, Chase Edmonds cannot wait to play in McDaniel’s high-tech offense.
This all is not quite as black-and-white as we think.
Monos’ dream hire? The name may surprise you.
Also on this episode of the Go Long Podcast, we dig into the headlines. Deshaun Watson’s suspension is finally official and Tom Brady is still on hiatus. To wrap up, we again take your most outlandish, non-football questions. Fantastic submissions. Don’t forget to join tonight’s Zoom Happy Hour with Richie Incognito. Can’t wait to see folks.
As always you can listen to the Go Long Podcast in the Apple and Spotify podcast feeds (links below) or the audio/video embeds right here at Go Long.
We’d love it if you shared the good word with a friend.
Thanks, all!
