The Next Head Coach


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Between those two, Rivera.

People better be ready for a 3-4 defense if Rivera comes to town however.

Not really true. He has ran a 4-3 defense when he was with the Bears and also was the linebackers coach for the Eagles who ran an aggressive 4-3 defense so him coming here doesn't mean he would automatically switch to 3-4

Perhaps, but it's a 3-4 in San Diego where he is the DC with an Offensive guru head Coach. So I'd guess 3-4 is his preference.

He was a assistant in Philly not the DC there but if he get's the nod in Carolina I guess we'll wait and see who brings along as a D Coordinator.

Not necessarily his choice in SD since he started out as the LB coach in SD. After Cottrell was fired, he took over as DC and there was no sense in changing the scheme since he had the right players to run a 3-4 defense.

Also, I mentioned in my previous post that he was the linebackers coach in Philly, not DC.

if its Grimm or Rivera i believe both will want to use the 34 defense. If they are the coach they are going to use what they have or had the most success with.An to me in Rivera case it was the 34 defense.But i wouldnt be surprise if we stay 43..

Also the good thing about the situation we get everything started Monday Russ Grimm or rivera arent in the playoffs. So it might not be long before we know whats going on. Also Harbaugh plays his Bowl game Monday so we might know something after that.

Once again, a wild card name coming up is Iowa's coach, Kirk Ferentz. Yes he just signed a huge extension and loves it where he is but he is highly regarded by GM's in the NFL and every year he has to fight off the interest. His stock was huge after last years BCS win but it hasn't taken much of hit even after his team's November meltdown. I'll bet the Panthers put feelers out for him although I'm not sure he would be on their short list.

You could definately make a case of how successful he's been using the 3-4.

I mean the Bolts are #1 in yards allowed and #8 in points allowed on defense.

Uh, I'd gladly take that.

Suppose its already down to Grimm an Ron Rivera.. Who do you think has A better shot. The favorite is Grimm. The coaching search might be already over.

I disagree. Both are relatively young...in their late 40's...but they probably have about 10 guys that they WANT to interview.

I think that they may go with someone younger who can relate to all of the young players that we have. Maybe Jason Garrett if Dallas hires someone else or Pat Shurmer of the Rams.

I wasn't ready to predict that Dallas would let go of Garrett, but there are now rumblings that they might. Still don't see him here, though.

If you read his Twitter, Gantt doesn't take Grimm seriously as a candidate. He believes that Harbaugh is "in play" and will be "a big part" of the process though.

No word I can recall on Rivera, Fewell or others (don't think anyone's asked him).

Have to be careful with Gantt. He sometimes gets sent misinformation. What really give me the feeling Grimm will be the coach is because he was almost the coach of for Pittsburgh. But I wouldnt be surprised if they go off the grid and pick a guy none of us though of.

Thats what alot of i been hearing. Picking somebody we wouldnt never thought of.Harbaugh has a 50/50 chance coming here. I mean if he come we get Luck more then likely unless Luck is so serious about going back to school next year if harbaugh is there or not.But i can see the short list will more then likely be Harbaugh, Rivera, an Grimm.

But the big question is do the panthers have any interest in Harbaugh.

We all get misinformation, honestly.

I predicted Grimm because of the Hurney connection, though admittedly Harbaugh has connections to Hurney too. Neither one is really a direct connection, but Grimm's lasted longer.

True, but he got them to pick AE so it goes both ways.
