With all the talk about the next coach who is Gettleman's "guy?"

Kyle Shanahan= just what we need, ANOTHER guy with ZERO head coaching exp. You would think people here would have learned from the Rivera experiment.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but in the end we can't have it both ways.  Either a guy has experience (and to be available, has been fired/has failed), or he's a proven assistant with zero head coaching experience.  You rarely find guys who go down from the pros to college, succeed, and come back up.  Doug Marrone.  Woo, knock down the door for that, right?

Surprised no one has mentioned Cowhers yet.

Guy's I can't get fired up about coaching prospects until ron rivera's firing is a done deal. I don't have a good feeling that JR will pull the trigger on ron unfortunately.

I'd be ecstatic if we hired Kyle Shanahan. I want a young guy with a lot of energy looking to make a name for himself. Someone who will pour everything they have into the product on the field.

 

At least if we go after Kubiak, try to get them both in a package and let Shanahan have complete control of the offense.
