The Next Head Coach

[Mr. Scot]

If we put it to a poll, I'm pretty sure Cowher is the top fan choice.

I just can't get behind the idea.

I don't love the idea of Cowher as HC, but I feel like thats the way it's going to happen.

Big Cat wants to make money and win games, as well as replicate the Steelers from the top down....seems to be the way he will go.

We have the ability to run the ball, and have the players to be a good D, and we are close to Raleigh, where Cowher calls home.....seems like exactly what Cowher is looking for.

Despite the title of this thread, I'm still not 100% confident of that.

Leaning more that way, mind you, but I'm still not ready to call it a lock.

Wow, that's surprising saying its not a lock. What would you say would be a legitimate reason for Fox to stay? And does he have that much internal pull in the organization?

I'm not saying it's legitimate. I'm saying arguments could be made.

Injuries, QB meltdown, overall winning record, new coach equals rebuilding, one year left on contract, possible labor issues...These and other things are arguments that can be used to justify keeping Fox in place.

Personally I'd prefer an offensive-minded head coach, with a strong defensive coordinator. Combine with a GM out to prove something and I think we might be on to something.

Understood, but Richardson tends to prefer defensive coaches.

[Murph]

I still think that the fact that Fox has one year left on his contract and the possiblity of no football in 2011 due to a lockout will bear as much weight as this year's current W-L record to JR.

Understood, but Richardson tends to prefer defensive coaches.

If that's the case, I want either Fraizer from Minnesota or McDermott from Philly. Maybe Zimmer from Cincinnati.

I don't know any good Offensive Coordinator candidates for head coach, but I'm sure there's a young one out there that would love to work with this offense, sans Delhomme.

Zimmer is my favorite at the moment. Rivera's a nice thought too though.

doesn't Rivera run a 3-4 though? I don't think bringing in a 3-4 guy would be a good idea in that case.

He's run both (ran a 4-3 with the Bears under Lovie Smith).

With the way our offense is playing the next HC may be a rising OC

[Mr. Scot]

Said elsewhere. I'd accept that, but I'm not sure Jerry Richardson would.

Yeah.But My thinking is that he keeps meeks and gets a rising OC.
