Your rationale seems to be “it’s hard so let’s not try at all” which is ridiculous.
We’re saying that there are potential prospects available that fit this mold moreso than a McCarthy would, who is the opposite. So it might actually be an option.
Flip is available. Riley, also likely available for the right price. McDaniels, he actually wants considered—even if it won’t happen based on the Dorsey relationship. Matt Campbell is a rising coach. Pete Carmichael. Matt LaFleur has disappointed in Tennessee (Mariota is not impressive, but he’s a name). Zac Taylor.
These are all people that you could interview and get a plan of their vision for what a Baker Mayfield offense would look like. That’s where you see it. Them drawing up concepts with real, tangible ideas.
Our GM played the game. He has a firm understanding of what Baker has and has not succeeded in this year.
That’s how you conduct this process. Not hiring a stale McCarthy as soon as he’s available without interviewing someone else to gather ideas.
