The Next Head Coach


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I don't love the idea of Cowher as HC, but I feel like thats the way it's going to happen.

Big Cat wants to make money and win games, as well as replicate the Steelers from the top down....seems to be the way he will go.

We have the ability to run the ball, and have the players to be a good D, and we are close to Raleigh, where Cowher calls home.....seems like exactly what Cowher is looking for.

Despite the title of this thread, I'm still not 100% confident of that.

Leaning more that way, mind you, but I'm still not ready to call it a lock.

Wow, that's surprising saying its not a lock. What would you say would be a legitimate reason for Fox to stay? And does he have that much internal pull in the organization?

I'm not saying it's legitimate. I'm saying arguments could be made.

Injuries, QB meltdown, overall winning record, new coach equals rebuilding, one year left on contract, possible labor issues...These and other things are arguments that can be used to justify keeping Fox in place.

Understood, but Richardson tends to prefer defensive coaches.

If that's the case, I want either Fraizer from Minnesota or McDermott from Philly. Maybe Zimmer from Cincinnati.

I don't know any good Offensive Coordinator candidates for head coach, but I'm sure there's a young one out there that would love to work with this offense, sans Delhomme.

Zimmer is my favorite at the moment. Rivera's a nice thought too though.

    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
    • At this point this is all I want from this team. I'm done hoping for wins. I just want to see a competitive team for 4 quarters. Come out of the gate hard and don't give up no matter the score.
