Hiring outside of the box is how we got BA… you never know.. but ya, we’re basically hiring a crap shoot
Yeah BA is such a rare find, but it’s true no one else wanted him…Boy were they wrong.

But on the flip side, he wasn’t a young up-and-comer, he was an old coach that was overlooked and never got his shot. All of his experience and relationships definitely played a factor in his immediate success, that and he was bold and fearless…He had waited all his life for that opportunity so he was gonna do it his way and not care what others thought. I don’t know that a young coach would have that kinda edge to him.

But then again, Campanile is coming from an organization where a young coach just showed immediate success is possible.

BA was great but let’s not forget we also brought Carson Palmer in when they hired him and when Palmer retired Arians left.

The point is, it won’t matter who we bring in if we don’t figure out the QB position.

Maybe we should be like that indoor league where the fans voted for the plays!

Thesmel will flood the ballots and have us running the Wishbone!

I'm particularly fond of the Annexation of Puerto Rico.

Or of course, the Fumblerooski.

Keep'em on their toes.

This speech is 100x more infamous than the "who took the bus" speech. Goofy, I can deal with as long as the players respect him. But this guy comes off as a blithering idiot. This is a meathead without an ounce of charisma, every single Dolphin had him completely tuned out. He is the perfect embodiment of the New Jersey douchebag stereotype.

But he did have a great year in Jacksonville, he definitely is a good football mind, and stereotypes probably don't fully encompass who he is as a person. Hopefully he doesnt turn out to be a prick as a headcoach.
I don’t care about any of that either way.

Can he execute and coach wins?

That’s my list of what I want in a HC.

All the other stuff is just window dressing.

As is everyone else, including teams that hire second time head coaches, who failed at their first stop. Hiring unknowns is kind of like the name of the game.

I still prefer Mike LaFleur or Klint Kubiak, but I must admit that I am intrigued with Campanile. Especially considering his contacts with potential offensive coordinators.

head coaches / staff need to be good on two dimensions:

culture (accountability, team first, disciplined, etc)
scheme (give your players an edge / offset opponents HC scheme)

Kliff: poor on culture (even he admitted that afterwards), good on scheme.

JG: good on culture, poor on scheme

seems like Monti really values the culture part first, and then the scheme part afterwards

I'm not ceding that JG was good on culture. The best that can be said for him is that his team didn't quit for the whole historically-bad season, though it did quit. What's the positive to the pew-pew culture? What culture has this team built that can now be built upon?

A lot of people seem obsessed with this idea of “culture,” and I think many of them confuse being loud and tough-talking with actually building a winning environment.
Yelling, dropping F-bombs, and trying to look hard doesn’t create a strong culture. Winning does. Leading by example does. Supporting players when they screw up — instead of embarrassing them or getting physical on the sideline — does.
You can be a tough, demanding leader without putting on some fake tough-guy act. Honestly, how many trash-talking, chest-thumping coaches have actually lifted the Lombardi Trophy? That tough garbage quickly wears thin on players, staff, and ownership, and a return to loserville follows.
At the end of the day, hire the best person for the job — not the one who sounds like the best. And ownership needs to do real homework instead of getting fooled by big talk, especially when that coach hasn’t actually achieved the ultimate goal: winning a Super Bowl.
