The Next Head Coach

[MattB]

I'm a big fan of Harbaugh. Watching Stanford this year it's clear that they are a very physical run-first team which suits JRs/Hurney's philosophy. But he also clearly has done a great job developing young QB's (badly needed here obviously). Taken Stanford from 1-11 to 11-1 in a couple of years. Whether he would want to come here is another question. The guy could probably have any college/NFL job he wanted.

I think Harbaugh will get it personally

What made you change your mind about Grimm...?

[magnus]

this would make a lot of sense.

we still would need to find a good WR coach.

Pep Hamilton has experience on their staff, James Lofton isn't in coaching anymore but seemed solid (name recognition or not) with SD and OAK.

either way wouldn't matter a tenth as much as what we did on D.

I think that harbaugh will be very selective about which jobs he takes. I think SanFransico and Michigan are interesting, I think we have the most to offer. On the NFL chan. a few minutes ago, they were debating that Houston and San Fran would be the two jobs that most people want. I just dont think that anyone could convince me that we are several pieces away from being good as a team. I think we can address a lot of needs with Free Agency. If we could target just one or two players I would look for Haloti N. and Mankins. I think that automatically shores up both of our lines. I might also look at addressing CB in FA. I dont think that anyone can sell me on giving up the first pick or not drafting Luck if he comes out in the draft.

I know you're in favor of keeping the current staff, but I don't know if I see it happening.

[Dpantherman]

There isn't a hotter candidate right now imo than Rivera. A change of defense isn't even required if we go for him. What hes doing in San Diego is awesome.

[magnus]

an experienced coach would definitely not keep the current staff.

Plus, some of the shine has come off that. In the end I'm really only concerned with staying 4-3.

I'm more worried about Grimm wanting to go that way than Harbaugh. He's been with 3-4 teams for quite a while now.

I know Fangio's done well at Stanford, but up till this year Harbaugh was all 4-3.

[KDawg004]

I'd like to stay 4-3 with some 3-4 looks.

[Dpantherman]

and Ron Rivera can check another box on his resume. his Defense is lights out (even w/o "lights out")

[Actionman0z]

Mags do you want to stay away from a 3-4 just because of the change it would bring on the defense, and the potential for it to set us back?

[Kevin Greene]

They continue to be #1 in yards allowed, but points allowed is a much more telling stat. The Bolts are 11th in points allowed going into tonight. There offense is indeed 2nd in points scored.

There is a reason they are 8-6 and don't have a better record like the Pats, Giants, Jets, Falcons, Saints, Ravens, Bears, Steelers and Packers who all give up fewer points per game.

Careful who you hand the Head Coaching position to.

11 out of 32 is bad?

[Dpantherman]

NFL.com has the Chargers at 6th, ESPN.com has them at 11th. either way, how is that bad??
