Your Favorite Head Coach Candidates?

Who are the coaches you'd love to have going into next season?

Mine:

1. Gus Bradley - DC, Seattle Seahawks

Gus Bradley is one of the up and coming coordinators in the league right now. I know we've gone the "hot coordinator" route before, but, it seems like the best route to go, especially in the absolute rebuilding process (which is what we would be in if we hired a new GM/head coach). Monty Kiffin gave his personal recommendation for Bradley when Mora was coach in Seattle, and the guy has had a defense that is progressively getting better.

The guy has drafted incredible players, while adding players through free agency, to bolster his secondary to be one of the best in the league.

2. Wade Phillips - DC, Houston Texans

I know, I know. Everyone thinks that Wade Phillips is a bum, not just Bum's son. He had a rough go of it in Dallas, I know, and he's 1-5 in the playoffs. But, the guy has a winning record where he goes. Not only that, but he has instantly changed the defense into something special in each place he has gone. We would really need a season to transition into Wade's blitzing 34 system, and we'd need to get a really strong OC that could control that entire side of the ball (not Chud, obviously). But, in the end, our defense could be one of the best in the NFC, and we could really get back to a dominant running game.

3. Will Muschamp - HC, Florida

Premature? Maybe. But Will Muschamp is a guy who understands how to win. He won while at Texas, he's winning while at Florida, and he does it in a true NFL fashion. Win in the trenches, win with the defensive line, and win by establishing the run. Will Muschamp has been an assistant head coach in the NFL on the 2005 Miami Dolphins team, after which he went back to college to be a DC and subsequently a head coach.

One thing Muschamp brings to the table is emotions. Muschamp is the antithesis of Rivera. He's yelling, screaming, and cheering on his players. He's like a younger, more exuberant version of Pete Carroll. Also, another thing, if we kept some sort of remnants of the spread offense (with or without the read-option), Muschamp would know it like the back of his hand, having to defend against it all of his years spent coordinating in college.

i don't care one iota about coaches or coordinators until we resolve the problem at GM. at this point getting new coaches is treating the symptom rather than the disease.

we don't need band-aids, we need antibiotics.

I absolutely agree.

This is a list of head coaches, with the assumption that Hurney has already been cast away.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
