Potential Head Coaches

[rayzor]

Not convinced he'd get the job. An interview perhaps.

Been thinking more about some of the stuff Gantt has said about throwing out some of the old rules and this next coach needing to be a special guy. It makes me lean more toward an offensive guy, and maybe even a college guy like Harbaugh. That's not to say defensive guys have no shot at it, but I do believe this next coaching search might not completely be what we're used to.

yeah, a month ago i brought that up to gantt b/c of the way that hurney had been talking about the league getting more of an offensive lean to it and it made me think that they would be heading in that direction for a HC and he blew it off saying something about thats why they hire OCs.

the new HC will most likely be

1) young

2) offensive minded

3) very energetic and electric

4) very aggressive

we aren't going to be seeing a john fox redux, in fact i don't think it will look much like anyone we've had before. i don't know that it means harbaugh, but i certainly think he'll be high on the list of prospects.

i'd be surprised if richardson isn't willing to open up the purse strings more to get the right guy. i really think he feels bad about what happens this year and he may go overboard to try and make things right with the fans and get the team in better shape.

Adam Schefter was on Mike and Mike in the morning and they were talking head coaching finalists for Dallas. They mentioned Fox going there...Gruden...Garrett staying depending on rest of season. When they got to Cowher, here's where it got interesting. Adam basically said that Cowher would NOT go to a team with a micro-manager like Jerry Jones around. Doug Gottlieb mentioned Cowher to the Panthers and Adam's response was "Carolina would never pay him".

That was a sad moment for me, because I knew it to be true.

Im not convinced either, but the coaching search is getting to my head. So Im picking one and sticking with it.

I guess its obivious to think maybe we should go after somebody different next year..I kind of feel that the coaching search isnt going to be what we thought.Mainly because Carolina mainly had defensve guys and this year our offense was our greatest Achillis Heel.So what should we do? Well if you really think about it it might be best to go after an Offense guy.

So i will say on the list you gotta put Brian Schottenheimer first, just because he is young and on a good team.But he is also hot right now as a coordinator.Im already kind of thinks he is over hyped but i have to put him number 1. His offense is aite but its not as good as i thought it would be.

Next i will have to go with Harbaugh, i know that he is an college coach and everything.But he actually have the best chance to get it.he is young and has a good offense He use good formations and He runs the ball alot.Thats what we will need.Also he passing offense is really good also.The reason he should have the best chance is he built a not good stanford team into a really good one.They put points on the board and they play good defense.

Mike heimerdinger is also a good choice the reason why is he is very expierence an has been in the league for a while.The odds against him is his age.But maybe Carolina will give him a Look.

Jason Garrett might have a chance depending on what happens in Dallas.If jason Garrett can turn that team around into a better team then they are, he will get notice by alot of teams.He also will have the chance to decide to stay in Dallas or move on.But if he does good more likely he stays in Dallas.

Also just a reminder we cant count out the defensive guys..

you shouldn't be. cowher is no where near worth the amount of money some team is going to shell out for him. we'll get just as good or better results going with someone younger and more aggressive.

Cohwer is a great coach but is he worth the 7 to 9 million he probably will command? people might not like hurney but bill will want complete control over ALL personnel of this team, if he can't duplicate the success he had with the steelers we could be worst off than we are now. one of the reasons he's not still in pittsburgh is cause they didn't want to pay him his market value or give him the control he wanted. if we were to go coach/gm i would rather go with somebody like parcells who has done it everywhere he's gone

With the second pick in the draft the Carolina panthers select, Marcell dareus DT from Alabama.Well at least thats what Tod Mcshay thinks.Any thoughts?

[Dpantherman]

I think Todd McShay will change his opinion several times before the draft

[Bj-monster56]

Whats your opinion Mr. Scot on who you think we will draft? I know it heavly depends on Who the next coach is.But just a Projection?

[knightyme23]

Cowher + Vick = a whole lotta fun!

[knightyme23]

tthe city needs a boost. Bill Cowher is a great coach.... period.

[Mr. Scot]

Haha, I love the tags on this thread... Great read Mr. Scot.. good work once again!

You realize you're credited in the initial post, right?

Im not convinced either, but the coaching search is getting to my head. So Im picking one and sticking with it.

I'm going the opposite direction.

I may have a favorite, but I'm not going to be so tied to that favorite that if we hire someone else I'll say "we blew it and we're gonna suck".

Any of the candidates listed could be a solid pick, or a lousy one. We can (and will) form opinions based on what we see of them, but none of us here is Miss Cleo.

(at least I hope none of us is; that'd be really weird) :sosp:

[Dash Global]

The best candidate is Chris Petersen.

Young

Winner

Aggressive

Offensive minded

What really impresses me about him is how well he does in big games. To beat the likes of OU and Vtech full of 5star players with BSU's roster says alot. The guy is a winner, plain and simple.

I'm not fretting over not getting Cowher...I'm fretting over the realization he's right about Carolina being cheap.
