The Next Head Coach

[cgarsmoker]

I just dont wont retreads

Just an FYI...

Tom Coughlin - retread

Tony Dungy - retread

Bill Bellichik - retread

That's 3 superbowl winners. Sometimes retreads work out pretty well...I wouldn't completely dismiss the idea.

[magnus]

true. They were retreads. Shanahan and Gruden were on their second gigs.

Though most of the names out there have won a Super Bowl with someone. And that historically states no way they do it again.

Though proven commodity sometimes is better than unknown.

[Mr. Scot]

maybe. They're not known for excellence in their current roles though.

Nope. hence why Zimmer is higher in my mind right now.

In fairness though, if I recall correctly Fox was coming off a down performance year when he got the Panthers job.

Tony Dungy - retread

And all three have something in common that a lot of the retreads in this discussion don't (Magnus hinted at it).

[Mr. Scot]

Time to bring this back up?

[Samuel L. Jackson]

I want McDermott, Gruden, Rivera, or Cowher... in that order... Also, Meeks needs to stick on Defense, but you might as well start seeking out a new OC and ST coach too...

[Mr. Scot]

McDermott hasn't proven yet that he's more than a one year wonder. I know someone will cite Josh McDaniels, but as I said elsewhere McDaniels hasn't really accomplished anything yet but winning some regular season games.

The patron saint of one year wonders is our old buddy Jack Del Rio.

Well played sir.

BTW I really don't want a OC as our new HC. Lets look back at the last 5 SBs. 1 Patriots win (former DC HC), two Steelers wins (Two different former DC), 1 Colts win (former DC), 1 Giants win (former DC). In fact the last former OC HC to win one was Brian Billick (in 01) and that was with a horrible O and outstanding D. To quote the biggest cliche in football defense wins championship.

[Catdaddy]

I don't think Cowher is that great of a choice. Look at the Steelers now. Two titles with a coach who had always been a position coach, and just a coordinator for one season on a team which had a stout d-line on steroids. He won one title during all those years there. John Fox would go there and win Superbowls, and thats the bottom line!

[CatMan72]

My personal favorite is Ron Rivera, because I know he would bring an aggressive defense to town.

[Snake]

Im still sticking with Mike Shanahan. I would love to keep Meeks and put Shanahan on Offense

[Khyber53]

It's going to be John Fox. Get used to it.

Tomlin has only won 1 Super Bowl and Cowher the other. SB XL (2005 Season) was a Cowher team and Last year was Tomlin's.

[davos]

I really like Leslie Frazier and Zimmer. Both are defensive minds that are aggressive and consistent.

On the offensive side, why hasn't a guy like Clyde Christensen (colts) been brought up yet?
