The Next Head Coach

[magnus]

You know what I hate about that?

Historically speaking, nearly every time this team has had a big choice between two guys, they've chosen the wrong one

examples?

Kevin Greene and Dom Capers are doing pretty well with the Packers D. My point in stating this is that not everyone can or needs to be head coach...But like Capers his strength obviously as DC.... I don't necessarily think that taking a strong coordinator and making them head coach is the best decision. There are a couple of examples of head coaches that went back to being coordinators who are very successful. Head Coach is not just coaching.

So about Sean McDermontt....NO (never wanted him anyway). his D has been shaky all season

Until there is a signature and an announcement...it is all still speculation

We can hope can't we?

We can hope can't we?

Of course we can

I hope we get Rivera...but after putting so much hope into Luck coming out...I am trying not to get my spirits crushed again so soon

I went to a Broncos board and noticed two things:

1. A common misconception that Richardson is a cheap owner.

2. A lot that want Rivera, and believe he wants them too.

I thought, how great will it be when Richardson outbids them for Rivera?

Ahhhh....your anger sustains me, Bronco fans..

At least we have a brief enough history to not really have any coaching trends...a total of 3 HCs

Well, maybe by noon on Wednesday we'll have a new coach...we can only hope :cheers2:

If Denver pries him away, there's plenty of fish in the sea...but Rivera could work well

[Mr. Scot]

Who was the other choice last time?

examples?

95 Draft: targeted Kerry Collins over Steve McNair

96 Draft: selected Tshimanga Biakabutuka over Eddie George

98 Draft: picked Jason Peter over Vonnie Holliday

02 Draft: chose DeShaun Foster over Clinton Portis

And of course, there's the 1999 offseason when the two best available names in coaching were Mike Holmgren and George Seifert. We chose to go for Seifert

Granted, most of the people that made those decisions are gone. Still, it's the pattern. That's why every time I see the Panthers making a choice between two guys, I get nervous.

Happily, evidence this time points to them making - at least what I would consider - the right choice

That said, I'll still remain a tiny bit apprehensive right up until things are official.

Fewell appears to be out of the running, at least for the time being, since he isn't getting a second interview right now.

[Cavscout]

Good...I hope Rivera gets the job
