If Rhule gets fired, who are your favorite coaching candidates for next year?

I have a list of coaches I have my fingers crossed should it happen. Ranked in order of who I would want most.

Doug Pederson (Unemployed) (53)
Lovie Smith (DC Texans) (63)
Kellen Moore (OC Cowboys) (33)
Josh McDaniels (OC Patriots) (45)
Jerod Mayo (LB Coach Patriots) (35)
Mike LaFleur (OC Jets) (34)



No college coaches please, I want either a proven team guy (Smith, Pederson, Mayo) or an offensive wizard (Moore, Pederson, McDaniels, LaFleur). I do not care about age at this point.

McDaniels was my 2nd favorite last time.  The popular belief is he's going to ride out his OC gig in NE until Bill retires.  The only unknown is, how long is Bill planning on coaching?  If Bill plans on coaching another 5-10 years, I doubt McDaniels waits around that long.

Matt Eberflus. Top defensive coach on ascending team with a winning track record.  Has also experience transition between schemes.  Knows how to use the hybrid types.  

Prefer defensive oriented coaches with 10+ years NFL experience.  And wouldn't be a retread.

Honestly, if I'm getting what I want, I'd target Eberflus as HC w/ Pederson as the AHC/OC.

I don't know about any of them specifically, but I know the profile for me is a young, aggressive, forward-thinking, offensive minded HC.  

I've been saying it the last two hires - please no more conservative, defensive-minded coaches.  Daboll is probably my favorite.  Lafleur is intriguing.

Pederson is my vote: he has played in the NFL, coached in the NFL, and won in the NFL which includes a SuperBowl. After what we have seen the past 2-seasons, I want to see proven NFL experience. 

Pederson would actually make a great OC candidate if Rhule were to stay in place.

Not really sure Rhule would give him a look though.

Sign me up for an Eberflus HC with Pederson at OC. They’d get this mess cleaned up right away.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
