I very seriously doubt Tepper is going to make another ground breaking wild splash with his next head coach move after the last one blew up in his face and made him look like a total clown. If we win the division it's gonna be Wilks. It's the quiet, safe move and the media will heap praise on him for hiring a minority candidate who got screwed over in his first HC gig.

Yeah and supposedly Tepper was the driving force between Wilks hire in the first place. IF that is true, I suspect he might be pretty close to being the chosen guy anyway.

I'd be ok with Wilks IF we get a better offensive mind in place. I'm not a McAdoo fan. If Reich would come in as OC, that would be ideal, but I get the sense that he'll likely land on his feet as a HC somewhere.

If Wilks isn't the guy, I'd shoot for the moon and go after Harbaugh, and if he says no, I'd be happy to "settle" for one of the Shanes (Steichen or Waldron).

I don't think anyone should be a McAdoo fan. We simply have to improve that position, whether Wilks is the guy or not.

Unless we lose out or something, I'd rather keep Wilks than hire Frank Reich.  I'd be open to Steichen or Johnson.

Now that's something I can agree with. I still say we need a HC with a proven background in Defense or Offensive with a good pool to pull from. Imo Ryan and Steichen are proven and would make this team a contender. Wilks is still a strong contender as well but how would he set up his staff. He needs a better DC for sure because Holcombe isn't the awnser.

Per ESPN's Dan Graziano, Tepper wants to hire someone with previous head-coaching experience and has a list of candidates that includes Sean Payton, Leslie Frazier, Marvin Lewis, Frank Reich and Dan Quinn.

MARVIN LEWIS!!  That entire list pisses me off... Where is Dan Graziano right now so I can drive there and slap him???

So we've asked a generic question about Wilks versus whomever this morning, but I think it would be helpful to better define the "whomever".

If not Wilks, then who do we see as viable alternative candidates?

A couple of names I would start out with...

- Shane Steichen
- Frank Reich 
- Ben Johnson
- Shane Waldron
- Demeco Ryans 

(not necessarily all my preferred choices but viable options nonetheless)

What are the arguments for choosing one of these guys...or someone else?

On Ryans, I think we'd be better off sticking with Wilks who already has the trust of the players, rather than Ryans who seems quite similar to Wilks but would have to start at ground zero with the relationships.

The one possible advantage to Ryans is I'm pretty sure he'd bring in a Shanahan disciple to run this offense, but then so could Wilks.

      Game film doesn't shows that Bryce struggled in the redzone as much as his teammates failed to execute (or the opposing defense just flat out steps up). He might not be a threat to take it 60yds while stiff arming and shaking defenders, but he's shown more than enough to convert a first on a 10+ yard scramble.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By fanpanther · Posted

      1 more win maybe.  Could also see no more wins.  Take best qb available in draft or trade back for more pics take best qb available.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      For me to go to a game and bring someone and sit in my seats it costs about 500 dollars just for the tickets. That’s before I drive two hours both ways, parking, etc. so I have to work 4-5 hours just to sit down.  I can’t drink because I can’t risk my licenses, so I have to white knuckle it.  and my schedule is set up three months in advance, so it’s a huge pain in my ass and the ass of other providers to schedule off a Sunday.  and this is on top of all the other things I can’t do because I have to commit an entire day of the week to it.  You and I have far different obligations, life situations, responsibilities, etc. you think not supporting David Tepper makes me a bad fan, but I think it makes you a mark.  if you want to turn this into a contest about who’s gone to more home games for worse teams, I promise I beat you. Just at this point in my life there’s better things for me to spend my time and energy on than watching David Teppers wife’s vanity project in person.  Cool you got to watch the worst team in NA sports lose again in person. I’m spending a week in Norway in February and redoing my kitchen.  we’re not the same, buddy.
