Did they say they wanted an offensive coach? I don't recall that in yesterday's meeting. I remember Khan remarking that the offense felt predictable at times. Which was an indictment on Pederson in my opinion.

I really wouldn't mind a combination of Brian Flores coming down along with Wes Philips. Flores becomes the head coach, he calls the defense directly and he promotes Wes as the offensive coordinator after he'll get a line of credit thrown at him due to Sam Darnold's success.

Philips is also related to Bum and Wade Philips. Interesting that his family carved their teeth out and made a name for themselves on defense and he's doing it on the other side. He does have a history with Sean McVay as well. He was with him in Washington and Los Angeles. 

So, that's one unique situation to look at. Flores needs a shot at redemption. His defense has been good this year. His style is good. He has the Belichick history to his name. He was decent and controversial in Miami. If there's no other big name commodity willing to work with Baalke?

I would be able to stomach Brian Flores as the HC/DC and Wes Philips as the QB Coach/OC. I don't think we'll land Johnson, Coen or Brady. I just don't see it. I also don't see Vrabel wanting to walk into this situation with Baalke.

There's really nobody else out there that I would want, outside of Ben Johnson, he was the #1 target in my opinion. He'll probably take Ray Agnew with him from Detroit along with Mark Brunell as well. That would have been a good group to rebuild with or fix this mess with.

We're now stuck with Baalke and that's why I am dialing back my expectations. In this case? Whether you like it or not. Brian Flores is probably the best we can do right now.
