Well here's some interesting details in regards to why Stefanski got the Browns job instead of McDaniels. If this is all true, this is a recipe for failure and Haslam is inching toward Snyder territory. I can see why McDaniels or any other coach interview would object to this.
- Stefanski presented a detailed vision of how he will approach the head coaching job.
He made it clear he was willing to yield to certain DePodesta standards, such as an analytics person with a head set and access to the coaching staff on game days, in addition to certain Haslam likes, such as hours-long, Monday-after, owner-coach meetings.
-
His willingness to work with coaching, analytics and ownership types in ways agreeable to DePodesta and Haslam were big selling points.
- As Haslam launched into the search, he said,
“We are looking for a strong leader. One, someone who is smart; two, has really good football acumen; three; will work within the organization ... it is not ‘my way or the highway.’”
- McDaniels understood the risk of offending in his specific plans to change systems, in some cases dramatically.
He took care to present his requirements as “the right way” as opposed to “my way.”
