Assistant Coach Candidates

[Mr. Scot]

Here are a few names mentioned by Darin Gantt.

___________________________________________________________________

Mike Haluchak, Linebackers

Previously the LB coach of the Browns under now fired coach Romeo Crennel. He was Fox's LB coach for the first three years he was DC with the Giants. Gantt mentioned him as a possible candidate for the job here. Although from what I've seen he hasn't been replaced by Mangini (yet) he may not be under contract.

Johnnie Lynn, Secondary

Was the Giants secondary coach during Fox's entire tenure in New York. Most recently has been splitting the secondary coaching duties in San Francisco with Vance Joseph. Gantt mentioned him also.

49ers Bio

___________________________________________________________________

And a couple of other guys that have been speculated on from other sources...

___________________________________________________________________

Dwaine Board, Defensive Line

Former player with a history of coaching solid D-lines, mostly in San Fran but more recently in Seattle. No Fox connection I know of but went to North Carolina A&T and was Brentson Buckner's position coach when he was with the 49ers. Replaced by incoming coach Jim Mora. He's on Magnus' wish list.

Seahawks Bio

___________________________________________________________________

Brett Maxie, Secondary

Maxie's name tends to come up anytime the Panthers need a DB coach, and there's reason. He got his start as a coach with the Panthers under Dom Capers after being a wily veteran presence during the expansion years. He's had a couple different jobs since then, most recently with the Cowboys. Contract status unknown. No direct Fox connection I know of but he coached against the panthers during his time with the Falcons.

Other names mentioned in coach speculation: Tim Krumrie, DL; Rick Venturi, LBs; and of course, Herman Edwards, DBs (of whom much discussion already exists)

The guys with prior connections to Fox would logically seem the most likely candidates, but others from both the pro and college ranks could get looks.

I'd love to see Tim Krumrie as the DL coach. He could lend a half of his heart to our defensive line and it would make it better. Too bad Peppers wouldn't play for him.. However, I don't know if he's still under contract with Chiefs and how good a coach he is. He's coached Jared Allen and he's pretty good now, though.

I do hope we have this wrapped up next week.

Don't like sitting empty for long...

ditto'd

longer we go the further behind we're going to fall.

everything should be taken care of by wednsday.

i'm not crazy the idea of fox sticking within his own coaching tree which is what i hear suggested around certain places.

Morgan Lbers

Buckner Dline

Keep dreaming.

Minter is too busy with his programs

Morgan wants to return to playing football

and it seems as if Buckner hates Fox now...

It will be interesting to see what happens today at the Senior Bowl

Pat Whites coming out party for the NFL.

I was actually thinking in reference to coaches but yeah, Pat White will have a big day

[mountainpantherfan]

I am wondering what they will do with Sam Mills III. I have often wondered if he was a legit coach or if his position was simply ceremonial. IMO, if isn't promoted to one of the empty spots on the defense than his position is just ceremonial.

I think we should look at someone on the Cards staff.....obvious reasons.

Reasonable (and they have some interesting guys) but unlikely if they want to have the staff in place by the end of the week. Cards coaches would be unavailable till after the Super Bowl.

fox has probably already decided who he wants to bring in while at the Senior Bowl. We'll find out after it's over. Considering that Both Hurney and fox are down there, as usual it's a coaching hotbed for out of work coaches.

It was a joke. But then.......?
