What kind of head coach does this team need?

[The Question]

For the last 3 years I've been watching quietly, never vented about Rivera, never jumped onto the Huddle in a spat after a loss to call for his job. After week 2 in Buffalo I can whole heatedly declare that my position has changed. I think deep down since him being brought in we all had lingering questions as to, is this guy really savvy enough to run an NFL team? I know I did. He just doesn't seem that intelligent. You see the Harbaughs, Sean Payton, Pete Carrol, Mike Mcarthy. Unarguably successful coaches in the NFL, one thing you can attest to is all then being pretty intelligent guys. You can tell when they speak, you can tell by their teams on the field and the product they put on the field on Sundays. Does this team need to finally make a switch to a more control oriented, play calling coach? I know I'm ready to see a guy with a headset on with a huge play sheet actually asserting some control as to how this team plays on Sunday. I think it's time we found a scientist.

A proven one

I was going to say the best college coach New Jersey has to offer, but Tampa Bay beat us to it.

Tom Caughlin, Bill Parcells old school foot-in-your-a$$ type of coach.

heres my vote

we need an offensive-minded genius.  our last two coaches have been laid back defensive guys and that is not working for us.

[Kettle]

whichever one scores highest on the wonderlic test!

From what I can gather from the Huddle is we want a hard ass coach that holds his players accountable for their mistakes but also never blame them and only blame himself.

:P

The only requirement I have is that he has been a head coach prior to taking this job.  I don't care what level:  College, NFL, CFL, Europe, whatever.  I just want the next coach to know how to manage a game, properly use timeouts, and not challenge insanely stupid things.

A coach that is accountable. A coach that directs criticism away from the players. A coach that can tailor their scheme to the players they have available. A coach that is able to make in game adjustments. A coach that is able to make calculated risks. A coach that is not a DEFENSIVE minded coach.

Coach with experience on offense defense and special teams

 

A coach that doesn't deflect blame
