Miami

Tennessee

Jacksonville

Oakland

Personally, I see Denver and Miami as being the front runners for Cowher and Gruden. I think Fox goes to Cleveland. Garrett and Frazier stay in Dallas/Minnesota. Oakland might hang onto Cable, and I suspect Kubiak will remain in Houston. Gailey also should stay in Buffalo.

That leaves us, San Fran, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and Cincy in competition for Harbaugh/the rest...

i heard oakland is not picking up the option on cable.

[PanthaSan]

What about Singletary? I bet we can get him cheap.....and he is black.

Still, if you were Harbaugh and had to pick between that list + Oakland, do you think it would come down to us and San Fran?

not funny :sad:

It'd be cool to have him as a DC maybe...

Don't want him. Can't win with him. I would rather have no coaching staff and be unable to accept a positive penalty on every play than have guys like that. I want winners.

Now, to illustrate my point visually, I'm going to take my pants down for a minute. Just to demonstrate how we are all getting our butts handed to us in this search for a new coach.

Cable is out in Oakland. Mangini in Cleveland as well. And Lewis in Cincy is officially out as of now. Brown could sign him to a new contract but right now they are without a coach. Lewis was in the same situation that Fox was in.

Minnesota has already announced Frazier as the next coach.

And Houston has already said Kubiak is staying so...

I want winners!

I don't want any one else's HC scraps unless they are willing to accept a OC/DC position

I think New England proves how you can't put much thought into a coaches previous venture when evaluating him as being "good". I mean, the Patriots signed Bill Billicheck after he spent five seasons in Cleveland and only had one winning season! What the Patriots saw in him was something nobody else did.

Sometimes you have to wonder if certain guys just don't fit in certain systems. If the coach isn't bad, it's who he plays for.

For some reason, I think Mangini is a good coach. I think the Jets and the media circus that surrounded the team as a bit much and Cleveland is just bad, whether Mangini or Billicheck is the head coach!

There are even rumors out of New England, that when Billicheck's contract is up after the 2013 season, that Mangini is the top candidate to replace him... regardless of his past head coaching record.

BUT the bottom-line is.. you never know what to expect out of the head coaching carousel!
