Lots of talk about ol’ Belichick potentially landing here. I highly doubt that happens for a list of reasons.
While the talk of him landing here is getting shot down, pretty resoundingly, I’m noticing a lack of attention to EB being the next head coach.
It feels like a natural promotion, I’m just wondering what the thoughts are?

Not really! It comes down to Josh Harris final decisions and it appears that it maybe at season end.
Same reason Howell isn’t the guy. This town can only focus on the horizon and never on the now. We truly suck as a major sports market for this reason.
I hate Bill, if he ends up here I’d be like having Jim Zorn again
I have no idea but Jim Zorn ended up being HC so anything is possible.
The truth:
-
he’s an energetic and loud black man, while the majority of owners are old white men who think a loud black man = angry black man. So the processes around becoming a HC are already not in his favor.
-
HC is a different skill set than coordinator. Most coordinators who get promoted to HC fail.
-
He’s been ok, abandons the run game knowing if he develops Howell no one will criticize him, but my point is his gameplans, particularly against the Giants earlier, have been far from perfect. I see him as “the guy”, but i don’t think it’s a slam dunk.
He did fix it the 2nd half… and since then we have been on a tear.
I like EB but I think Jim Harbaugh would be better and also I like smashmouth football more than air raid.
He’s fine, but he hasn’t been consistent enough with the offense. I’d be hesitant to promote him just for Sam to learn under a new OC (and def don’t think EB should be the HC and OC at the same time).
Kinda wish he would stay OC
This isnt the same situation with haskins where we didn’t know quite yet he was the guy and wanted continuity with KOC as the OC. Sam Howell on the other end is thriving with a flaw in roster construction and scheme (beyond not running the ball making your rookie QB throw 40-50 attempts week in and week out is ludicrous) and yet sam is thriving. If this is the case I would rather hire another play caller/coach that isnt putting up merely 330 yard per game with 21 points per game….
There’s a great article in the Athletic that talks about how we are the most pass happy team this century. Like, the run/pass balance is so out of whack, and it kind of doesn’t make sense. Our offense isn’t really producing more points, and the insane number of sacks are the result. I don’t know if you get any free articles, but I don’t believe in Bienemy’s scheme at all, and this sums up why:
