The Coaching Search Thread

[Butchers Bill]

If they're going to hire a retread why not hire someone who's actually won something?

I'd rather have Brian Billick than Lovie Smith.

I would prefer a coach that has never won a Super Bowl.  There has never been a HC to win one and go to another city and win another.  Parcells came close, but it has never been done.  Why fight that trend?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Jon Gruden as head coach and de facto OC
Rob Ryan as DC

What could go wrong?

[Rome]

I know we're not supposed to talk about the EMB here but the love for Lovie there is both mystifying and comically awesome.

Seriously.    Let's hire a guy who has one playoff appearance since 2006 and one playoff win.    That's sooooo much better than Reid, AMIRITE?!?

[PhillyPhreak54]

They'd use up all the f-bombs in the world and no one else would have any left.

IGY - agreed. But I'd say Lovie has a track record of not being able to manage an offense.

but you want jay gruden that has won what exactly?

[Feva]

Jay Gruden is out.  He says he'll interview with teams but plans to return to the Bengals anyway

Good. Flat out DIDN'T want him here...

[PhillyPhreak54]

Me either.

Gus Bradley, Mike McCoy or Jon Gruden.

[MDS]

im in on GUS

there are enough whiz kids out there who can run an offense. gus is a great defensive coach and appears to have the make up of someone that can control a locker room.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So those in on Gus include IGY, me, and now MDS.

I would venture to guess that he will not be the hire. And if he is, something will come up about him (loving Jesus, voting Republican, says "we" in presser, et al) to make him jump to the other side of the fence.

[ice grillin you]

with 40 f bombs in 60 seconds we know he isnt a jesus lover or a republican....so we are safe there

[phattymatty]

lets get real guys...even with gus, these Hoydas on defense won't be laying wood like seattle's D did this year. maybe he has a good eye for drafting guys who can though.

[ice grillin you]

yeah regardless of who the coach is everyone knows the defense needs a complete overhaul

[BigEd76]

Cowher thinks he might come back and coach at some point

Has Cowher been tempted by any of the current NFL openings, or heard from any of the teams who have them?

"No, no, no, no."

[phattymatty]

well now we know...the key is getting the right guy. case closed guys.

what a stupid face.

[SunMo]

ohhhhh, getting the right guy is the key.  glad they are on top of it
