MARTY BALL, yeah he's 120 years old. If he dies on the sideline it will be inspiring.

Cowher, he's no Vince Lombardi but he's been there before and he knows how to make the most of his talent.

He also has a network of established assistant coaches and coordinators which can't be overlooked.

Place your bets.
Which retread head Coach is likely to win the Super Bowl this year:

Bill Belichik?

Pete Carroll?

Jon Fox?

Mike Shanahan?

Or perhaps a Lombardi will come from a group of first time, long term Head Coaches.
Notably Gary Kubiak, Leslie Frazier, Mike Smith and Marvin Lewis who between them have been their respective Franchises Head Coaches a total of 25 years.
Combined they have a total of 1 Playoff wins.

Or maybe the Harbaugh boys go all the way or MCarthy gets a 2nd.
Indy's 1st year HC just gets an honarable mention here,

Retread is a term slung around the Huddle most commonly by Mr. Scot refering to a current or possible Head Coach hire who previously occupied the Head Coaching position in the NFL with another team.
Such as Bill Belichik with the Browns or And Reid with the Eagles.
They are retreads which in years past mainly was a term used to refer to tires which had new treads put on them.

Perhaps hiring an experienced NFL head Coach would have been a better choice of words for some of the younger Huddlers.

If you wanna use history to bolster your argument, then you should answer this historical question.

How many coaches that have won a Super Bowl with one team ever won one with a different team?

To be relative to this conversation let me know how many Super Bowl winning Head Coaches have been hired by other Franchises since 2000?

Mike Shanahan comes to mind.
So we have a pool of one.

Cower left as one of the top 3 coaches in the league. He would return as one of the three best in the league and would have a ridiculous staff. We'd be an NFC contender with him as our HC.

All I have to say is hiring a cooridinator or college HC is probably not an upgrade over giving Rivera another year. Bringing in another guy with no NFL HC experience will result in starting all over again and another unkown. I dont know what, if any, former HC out there who is an upgrade and willing to come here, but with this team that is what they need.
