The offense guy from the Rams seems to check a lot of boxes that Cowher and Tomlin did.

Young
Sub Coordinator level
Insiders indicate he’s a strong leader
Insiders also think it’s a year or two too early (same was said about Cowher and Tomlin)

Many parallels but lots of differences as well.

Pffth, he’s just a plebe compared to the battleship commander.

Not that he was ever a serious candidate but scratch one from the list. Reported that NYG are close to finalizing a deal with Harbaugh:

I really don’t want to dip into the coaching carousel. I like targeting the young up and coming coordinators.

One exception though would be Matt LeFleur, I would be on board with that if he and GB split.

So far I like Shula and Kubiak the most.

Staying on the DC path for the most part there.

Good list, probably like Shula the most out of those names.

I think Flores may have the inside track. His brief time here made an impression on the players, spoke very highly of him.

Shula has gotten production from that Rams defense, one of the least expensive. He is younger than Flores, too.

I think the Combine was sort of a drop dead date not so much desired outcome

Hopefully Chris Shula does not turn into Dave Shula for those old enough to remember.

Personally the offensive minded vs defensive minded head coach thing is way overblown. It also ignores the fact the nfl is cyclical in nature. The last few years that nature has circled back to running the football and playing defense. You also have to keep in mind what the front office has said on multiple occasions. They want to play bully ball. They will hire a coach that shares that vision. If steeler fans have visions of a greatest show on turf offense they will be disappointed to say the least
Click to expand...

This, but just because You do go DC/HC doesn't mean You can't have a good OC.
I also laugh at everyone that says the Offense is the only way to go, and yet most Offensive minded HC that is still in it is basically winning with Defense. LoL

I heard there’s a member of the Kubiak family graduating junior high in a few months. Wonder if they can interview him?
