2020 HC Candidates

[rodeo]

people said the same things about John Fox, that he was well regarded around the league and would be hired immediately. and it was true. but that doesn't mean that it was a wrong decision to move on from him. sometimes a coach can be well regarded and decent but it's time for a team to move on in a new direction.

Wonder if Kubiak has a little left in the tank?

'We could do worse.' Holy crap, is that what we're accepting? Ron has had more losing seasons than winning ones and take away one magical year and he's basically .500. This board is split when discussing the possibility of Mike Tomlin, here. He hasn't had a losing season in 13 years, been to 2 Super Bowls and won one.  But we'll settle for Ron?

Am I the only one who thinks a lot of these searches are flawed? Why is everyone looking for a great 'offensive mind' to run a football team? Shouldn't you look for someone who is a great leader, organizer, motivator and who has a knack for identifying talent (staff and players) who fit his system (or maybe adapt their system to the personnel) and has a similar philosophy to yours (as the owner)? Let that person find the next Sean McVay to be their offensive coordinator.

You guys need to take a step back here...

 

If Ron wins 10+ games with a UDFA QB he is in coach of the year discussion.

You want a real off the wall idea.

And its kind of the way the NFL is going with offensive minded.

 

Young hot shot QB coach/OC doesn't matter experience.

3 of the latest NFL hires have been 

Bengals: Zac Taylor- Was QB coach under McVay in LA

Cardinals: Kingsbury- fired from his college gig, but QB coach/offensive minded

Rams- McVay

 

Teams are trending towards that young QB coach as HC then just hire a vet DC to handle that side 

 

See Wade Phillips pairing with Mcvay, Vance Joseph with Kingsbury..

 

 

So

Go get Joe Brady, LSU's OC/QB coach is responsible for Joe Burrow and the turnaround of LSU's offense.  A LSU offense that has been as Vanilla as the John Fox era for 30+ years and turned it to the greatest show on turf overnight.  Brady was also on Sean Payton's staff in New Orleans as a offensive assistant the previous 2 seasons.

 

 

Bring in Brady as HC and then find the salty vet DC to have his back, control the D, and help mentor Brady if needed.

 

If he can turn Joe Burrow, who was beat out by trash Ohio State QBs and had to transfer.   And turn him into the Lock for the #1 pick.  Im sure he can do just fine with Allen and Grier.

I rather go for the real guy Ed Orgeron

McVay is a one hit wonder. Teams have caught up to him. All these McVays 2.0 (Kliff, Zac Taylor, LeFleur) are no where close to McVay. Give me Robert Saleh

I like Byron Leftwich a lot. No idea if I like him enough to be head coach though.

I think I can like him as a HC more than a QB

The older guy who was on the hot seat until Brady bailed him out?

I honestly can't wait for a new coach to come in, good or bad, and everyone finds a new reason why this coach is bad and should be replaced.

I get keeping Ron as much as i get firing him but y'all act like a coaching Change is a garunteed fix.

Even coaches like Pederson and McVay are showing their flaws, and I beat half this board watching their runs thought "God I wish that were us."

A shiny new you isn't always better.

McVay and Pederson got to the SB pretty early in their coaching career. Pederson won it. Every coach has flaws but the good ones will learn to change unlike Rivera. Any new coach would be an upgrade over Ron. Just don’t hire no damn Adam Gase or Pat Shurmur who were terrible HC before.
