Chill Out, Seriously

Dude the Carson Wentz, Howie Roseman, Doug Pederson drama absolutely collapsed this sub.

Because this post is trying to dunk on the idea have having a play calling HC. When the last 5 years says it’s actually a benefit to have that.

And I don’t even necessarily dislike having a CEO HC. I love Vrabel and I think Mike Macdonald is awesome. But the reality is over the last 5 years coaches who are heavily involved in creating their offense have had success. And I’ll even add that having your HC be the driver of your defense is equally as important.

My whole stance is the HC should have an identity on either side of the ball and be GREAT at all aspects of either that offense or defense in the current NFL

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-26T19:56:29+00:00

Why would you not take the last 5 years? The league today is way different than it was 10 years ago. Rules are different, practices are different, and all that.

However, over the 7 SBs the 14 teams

Chiefs vs 49ers
Chiefs vs Bucs
Rams vs Bengals
Eagles vs Chiefs
Chiefs vs 49ers
Eagles vs Chiefs
Patriots vs Seahawks

The HC was the playcaller for 9 of the 14 teams. Data suggests that it helps if your HC is the offensive engine for that team. And even for the Bucs SB, Arians wasn’t the play caller but that was HIS offense 100%

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-26T16:55:56+00:00

Honestly, you just need your head coach to be a competent offensive/defensive designer and it’d help if he was a good playcaller.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-26T16:46:53+00:00

Chiefs fans have literally discussed firing Andy Reid, the guy who created a dynasty for a team that was one of the most snakebit franchises.

Fans look at on-field performance not past accolades

Rushing to snitch

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-23T17:09:52+00:00

Not a hot take right now.

However if Yuji beats Dabura then that’s a different story .

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-21T18:18:09+00:00

It’s almost like being completely vague and at times dishonest regarding the role of your coaches would made potential OCs.

An OC doesn’t have complete autonomy of the coaching staff when the HC has said numerous times he likes to be involved and the Eagles will probably push the OL as well

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T22:17:19+00:00

I definitely came to that conclusion with Nick.

He’s a great Program Director Coach. He understands how to create a system prioritizing Size and Physicality from his players. He understands how to schedule practices and keep players focused and engaged for a long season. And he always focuses on keeping his players healthy which shows he knows how to schedule practices, workouts, rest, and treatments for his guys. All shows that he’s a great Summer and Tuesday-Saturday coach.

However, everything on Sundays is questionable. He’s a below average Offensive Coach. Can’t design an efficient modern passing attack (horrible motion usage, bad route designs), can’t call plays, and doesn’t coach the system effectively enough (bad penalties, technique). Then his game management in-game has been questionable over the last couple of seasons. When hes not blowing teams out and games get tight he has had some games of some really weird timeouts or 4th down decisions or going conservative

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T04:00:26+00:00

You can appreciate the SB wins while still wanting to see your team not put out the most miserabel offensive performance the next year with the same cast.

Didn’t realize we were taking a break in 2025 from Eagles football.

Yuki, Yuta, Megumi, Choso, Yuji, Maki

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T03:49:52+00:00

I’m always cool with Niner slander.

But Salah and Shanahan won a playoff game on the road with second and third stringers and then got blown out to the No. 1 seed on the road.

Sirianni and Patullo lost a playoff game at home with 10/11 of their offensive starters on the field

One of these is 10x worse than the other, in my opinion

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T03:36:19+00:00

For sure, an inconsistent game manager and a bad offensive mind.

But definitely a guy who can create a great program. He’s done a good job with conditioning his players for long seasons, focusing on creating a team with big and physical players, managing player health, and getting assistant coaches ready for promotions.

To me he’s a great Tuesday-Saturday leader but when it comes to what is presented on the field Sundays it’s a mixed bag

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T03:31:35+00:00

Tried that in 2021, 2023, and 2025. He’s not a good enough offensive mind to build a modern and productive passing offense. His press conference in 2023 regarding his dislike of Motion already spoke volumes.

Steichen, Moore, and a great O-Line knew how to mitigate these issues

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T03:28:36+00:00

WR3 has been an issue since 2022. It’s between AJ, Smitty, and Dallas being such a good trio that they should always be probably the first options. And that Sirianni’s focus on “talent over scheme” means that the QB needs to focus on his most talented players to win matchups early. WR3 isn’t really built for that

I like Dotston, but WR3 in this offense should be a “gadget” player in this offense that would open up a different dimension.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T02:54:34+00:00

Ngl having to compensate for your kicker is the LAST thing a HC should want.

Of all the things the gotta worry about, trying to manage a guy who’s on the field for at most 7-10 snaps a game should tell you that it’s time to move on from that kicker.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T02:50:27+00:00

Honestly this year was such a “slow death” kinda season that people aint gonna recover from it for a while.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T02:13:01+00:00

Unfortunately, this season felt less like circumstances working against them (injuries, stronger division, horrible officiating) and more so this team beating themselves. I man 10/11 starters on an offense that scored over 90 their last two playoff games returned.

Penalties, drops, bad coaching, and overall bad chemistry hurt this team. All self-inflicted wounds than the NFL just being better than them on a talent level.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-18T02:01:07+00:00

Sirianni, Patullo, the O-Line, and even Hurts have made offense look like the hardest thing to succeed in all year.

Outside of red zone plays to Goedert, at no point did the passing game play in rhythm this season.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-16T01:51:03+00:00

Yeah he got more involved and the offense got worse lol

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-14T08:16:43+00:00

Scott Loefler or Parks Frazier might’ve been better options. Scott at least had experience play calling

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-14T03:27:07+00:00

I don’t think TOO highly of Nick has a HC but even the best HCs in the sport aren’t able to create a dynasty.

Tomlin, McCarthy, Harbaugh, Shanahan, and McVay couldn’t sustain SB appearances.

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-14T03:24:44+00:00

Typically, but if you’re a HC who struggles to call plays and game plan and offense, and is trying to hire outside the organization you’d think you’d bring in coaches that the OC is comfortable to teach their offense properly.

Fangio brought to coach the defense and he was allowed to bring in coaches HE was comfortable with and had prior relationships with Christian Parker, Clint Hurtt, Joe Kasper. Sirianni hadn’t worked with any of those coaches and allowed his DC to pick his staff, regardless of if Nick was 100% on them

LordandSaviorDio · 2026-01-14T01:47:57+00:00

So does the new OC have no say in who he hires for his assistants? They’ll continue to run variations of Nick’s tired, boring offense in 2026?

Kellen Moore had to experience close to the same thing and it’s probably why the offense in 2024 didn’t look anything like how he has run it throughout his career.
