  • Washington Commander’s Next Head Coach Eric Bieniemy

    So the media successfully sold Adam Peters, he’s the new general manager for the Commanders. Peters comes from a successful organization and despite some fairly average drafts these past several years, his reputation and interview earned him the Commanders top spot. Peters next big hurdle will be finding a coach. The Commanders have already submitted requests to interview the following candidates:

    • Lions OC Ben Johnson
    • Lions DC Aaron Glenn
    • Rams DC Raheem Morris
    • Ravens AHC/DL coach Anthony Weaver
    • Ravens DC Mike MacDonald
    • Cowboys DC Dan Quinn
    • Texans OC Bobby Slowik

    One candidate in particular has received significant praise in the media and has been rumored to the be team’s favorite candidate, Lion’s OC Ben Johnson. I’m not sold on Johnson, I’m not down on him either, but I do believe the Commanders might already have the best candidate for the job in the building. While Johnson has been praised by the media, Bieniemy has been praised by Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Brian Mitchell, … I’m guessing you can see where this is going. I’m comfortable saying when Bieniemy gets his opportunity, he’s going to be successful, hopefully he doesn’t become the latest Commanders meme.

  • Comparing the Draft Classes of Adam Peters and Ron Rivera

    Adam Peters is the hot GM this year, everyone is talking about him, he’s the best GM on the planet. The 49ers are one of the best teams in football right now, so it’s a bit difficult to argue otherwise, but we’re going to look at the numbers anyway.

    Draft Analysis Rivera and Peters Initial Grades and Regrades

    Looking at the data it appears Peters had the better initial grades and Rivera had the better regrades. Depending upon how you look at it, either grade could be more relevant. I’m actually of the camp that the initial grade, biases excluded, is the more important grade, that said the initial grades won’t recognize unconventional wisdom.
