1. Dan quinn- seattle defensive coordinator
2. Bo pelini- nebraska head coach
3. David Shaw - stanford head coach

 

Big difference in that Gruden was one tuck rule away from taking the raiders to the superbowl, against the pats, the next year he took his team to the AFCC game and lost to the ravens, so he did coach a raider team that was cheated out of a superbowl chance with the tuck rule, then made it the AFCC game with a team he built, and Calahan the coach that took over the raiders took Grudens team to the superbowl to play against him, so Gruden built a superbowl ready team and that's why tampa paid through the nose to Al Davis to get him, Tomlin hasn't built anything here but an out house......

 

1. Chuck Noll
2. Hines Ward
3. Myron Cope

Am I playing the game right?

 

I like the idea of Quinn, but he would have to bring in an awesome offensive coordinator with him.

 

More to the point, if the people interviewing Fox, Cowher and Fisher already know what the "right" answer is for how to plan fielding 53 aggressive guys etc. etc., then wouldn't they just get the current HC to do it?

Please Art II bring Mccarthy home,
pay him what ever he wants. Cut ties
with this bull ****ter you have here
and lets get started looking like
a football team.

 

I did mention the Brinks truck right? OK. Check. Thought so.

My actual order of preference would be

Jeff Fischer. He came 1 foot away from winning the big dance and last night he had his team 1 yard shy of pulling a huge upset. He gets his team up to challenges consistently even though they are usually big underdogs. He would have a huge incentive to get back and win the SB. BTW - I hate the last play call last night. It was just a dumb low percentage play. I'm sure he's still second guessing himself on that.

John Fox. Always has his teams playing hard. It's just that this season he has universal outstanding talent to work with. I'll be surprised if they don't win it all this year if they don't get hit with the injury bug.

Bill Cowher - His players loved playing for him and they played agressively nearly every game. Sure he did unfortunately lose some AFCCG's but two could probably be attributed to spy gate and another on a weird very warm afternoon in late January in Pittsburgh. Not an excuse though. Oh yea, and SB XXX was awesome right up until Neil O'dummy possibly got paid.


At any rate, If MT doesn't right this ship soon then he will be run out of Pittsburgh the same way BA was.

 

I believe the problem is that the current HC can't get 53 guys to be agressive ect., ect.

 

You're joking right Pelini sucks he might get fired from Nebraska. Shaw is a good coach.

 

Mac, I sure hope your are talking OC's and not Head Coaches, right?

 

Spurrier. Everybody go deep!!

 

1. No college coaches
2. Nobody currently coaching at the collegiate level
3. No one without NFL experience

 

yes. as I've said before, we need some type of good offensive minds brought in. make him assistant head coach or whatever name they want to bestow on them.

we have plenty of defensive minds here. we need someone to help MT and Colbert pick players that fit the system that is being built offensively.

 

Without Manning John Fox would be a losing coach right now, he isn't really a top coach, his defense has given up over 200 points already, and without a high scoring offense they would be dead in the water..........

 

how is chuck noll doing these days? I wonder if he might be interested. or how about tony dungy (former steelers)

 

Yes! As should have happened last year. Hue is the man!

Playing the game, I'd bring in off the top of my head:

Lovie Smith
Mike Zimmer
Chuck Pagano's brother (DC somewhere)

 

To those few that are promoting Lovie Smith, this is the head coach that stubbornly stuck with REX GROSSMAN as his starting QB regardless of how many turnovers he had. A great defensive mind but like Tomlin he doesn't seem to have a grasp on what the offense needs to do to get better.

A short list of guys I would want
Randy Fitchner
Bill O'Brian
Keith Butler
Mike Zimmer
Hue Jackson
That's in no particular order but I feel all have the right qualities that we would need in a future HC.

 

Not that Orton was lighting anything on fire but he didn't turn the ball over. He was a game manager and led the team the previous 2 seasons (both winning) when Grossman got hurt.
