The Next Head Coach, What would you prefer???

Recommended Posts

So as a general question, what type of coach would you prefer? A Defensive minded coach ala John Fox, or a Mike Martz type Offensive minded coach? Or if there is one out there, a Hybrid of the two? And if it's a coach who's familiar with both sides of the ball, who would they be? Also, would you prefer a coach who has experience like a Mike Holmgren, or a cooridinator out there waiting in the wings?

My hope is we find one who is competent on both sides of the ball. It just to me feels like Coach Fox will make moves in a flat minute like last week to sign Tank Tyler to shore up the D, but how long have we been waiting on that #2 receiver? Not saying he doesn't care about the Offensive side, but he makes moves quicker on the Devensive side. It also seems that for whatever reason under Fox besides the Superbowl year we never have both sides of the ball clicking consistently. I hope we get a guy who isnt just a Defense or Offense guy. And i agree about the older guy, i would hope we could get a guy thats gonna give us more than 2-3 years.

WOW Squirrel, you want Gruden, tell us what you think he would bring to the table?

A superbowl ring and before any one says it was Tony Dungy's team. Who's team did they play against? That right Grudens team he built. Gruden screwed up in TB. But I bet if he came to the Panthers we would win the Superbowl in less than 3 years and in 7 have 2 SB rings.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
