We need an OFFENSIVE minded coach

[Clawsome2]

No need to look further than the current winners and losers of the las few years. That whole strong defense good running game crap is going way out of style. The goal of every game is to score more points than the other team, but with this coach its been nothing but lets go up by 3 and hope they dont score. Im tired of that crap, unless you have a superstar studded defense, that is not the way to go. We are 0 & 4 because of this idea that we win games with defense. YEAH you used to win, but only if your d is the s hit and you have a better qb than a practice squad caliber scrub and a rookie handing off to 10 in the box.

We know, there have been 50 other threads on this very topic. You're beating the ever living poo out of a very dead horse.

That being said, JR wants defensive guys.

Im taking the dead horse's head and putting it where JR Is sleeping, damn that old senile man

I have no problem with another defensive minded coach, as long as he also gets a solid offensive coordinator and lets him do his job.

After a brief look I can't find anyone I'd really want currently in the NFL that would be "offensively minded." Except maybe Tom Moore (OC Colts) but good luck getting him away from Indy.

That leaves Gruden or Billick and really who wants either of them or expects them to come back from broadcasting?

I'm not up on college coaches so maybe there is someone there but we all know how that transition can go.

Are you kidding me you would call the patriots, colts, saints, packers ......run first teams?

What would you call the Giants and Steelers?

Colts: mentioned Tom Moore as someone I would take.

Pats: No OC

Saints and Packers: Perhaps a good possibility but likely would result in a drastic personnel shift in our offense that may not go over well with the fanbase.

What would you call the Giants and Steelers?

Teams with first round superbowl winning quarterbacks

If you think the Steelers and Giants won with offense first mentalities you are clueless. Granted, today you need to have a franchise QB to win a Super Bowl, but just as many defense minded have won v. offense minded as of recent.

Saints, Steelers, Giants, Colts, Steelers, Pats, Pats, Bucs, Pats, Ravens. Here are the past 10. 5 D minded 5 O minded.

Your chances of being consistant, and getting to the playoffs year in and year out are much better if you have a blue chip QB.

Not saying that you have to have a "franchise" QB to win the SB, just saying that your odds of winning one over a 10 year span are greatly improved if you have one.

Colts, Pats, Steelers (I am iffy on this one), Chargers, etc. seem to make the playoffs every year for the most part, it has everything to do with QB play, and not as much what type of coach is running the show.

I am not disagreeing with you, but I do not agree with the original poster that you have to have an Offense oriented team to win today. The Steelers has always been the team that the Panthers "wanted" to be like. There hasn't been a more consistent team in the NFL and they are Defense oriented.

All I am saying is the NFL goes through trends. Now, the trend is pass heavy. Seems like people just remember the Saints and Colts and forget how the Steelers and Giants won.

How about Norm Chow?
