Jags interviewing Bill O'Brien. I was gonna make a maybe we can trade a 4th rounder for the Jags best player joke if this happens but not sure if the Jags have any players. 
Josh Allen. It's our turn to get good players for nothing now
I can't believe they'd interview Bill, but maybe I should.

Not sure where this goes but good segment with Jeff Garcia this week on some podcast. He was basically talking about the Mooch years and how everything was building in the correct direction. Playoff game vs the Packers with prime Favre almost had em, then playoff win over Giants next year and lost to eventual champion Bucs. Garcia argued that all the momentum for the club stopped cold when they fired Mooch and rebooted. Guys are learning a new system and not really as sure of their assignments kinda starting from scratch and it all went down from there. He says coaching continuity, rather than just churning coaches every year or two is key. Something to keep in mind with these losing clubs which change head coach all the time.
We know what that is like having had 8 head coaches in 15 seasons (2002-2017). A f**king turnstile we got stuck in.
So happy that we now have a good FO/HC and staff, and are no longer a part of the s**t show that is the yearly searching process.
I saw the same podcast and, in light of Garcia's sentiments, would like to have seen that group of coaches and players stay together a little longer.
Not so confident they would have achieved greatness had that group been kept together, but they certainly would have been better in the shorter term ('03 and '04).
I think we could've been Denver in the final years of Mike Shanahan. A team that will make the playoffs, contend for a division title. The team wouldn't have made a Super Bowl, but the floor of that squad was 8-8.

He still would have been a better HC than Tomsula but yeah it appears that his ceiling as a coach is pretty much DC.
for coaches like him you really need the GM and OC to do a good job
I think he is still a good HC but Elway failed miserablly to get a decent QB on the team he is obsessed with trying to get a big QB and has failed at getting a competant QB
Probably do a lot better if he had JG... well a HEALTHY JG.
How Elway still has a job is beyond me, dude has whiffed almost ten times at getting their franchise QB.
Elway's best bet is to make a move for Russell Wilson or Jimmy G. His ability/the Denver player personnel's evaluators ability to scout and draft a rookie QB has not done them any favors. Trade the 1st or 2nd for Jimmy and draft a rookie QB (good luck to Denver on that one) in the 3rd. Between Jimmy/Russell, Teddy (if retained), and a rookie QB, that's their best shot.

Dan Quinn is a smart man for turning down the interview request.
