I want to see us head for Eric Bieniemy or Byron Leftwich as our first stops. While it does satisfy the Rooney Rule, more importantly you have two very good coordinators there, one defensive and one offensive.

You also have two former NFL players who are genuinely respected by their players and peers. They understand how to work with the players at this level, they know how to evaluate those players and they have a deep number of contacts at the professional level. That's a big plus over the current regime.

In addition, both have coached at the championship level. Both are incredibly familiar with the two leading teams in the league, how they are run, what their overall approach to team building is and both well trained in running the show on game day.

The knocks against the two can be pretty heavy. Byron is young for a head coach, but that's less of a problem anymore than it once was. Bieniemy is the right age, but he has some legal issues in his past that could rear an ugly head at some point. That may have been what has kept him from a HC gig so far in this day of hyper scrutiny and revenants coming back to get folks.

Still, I want to see us start there and I'd be very happy with either of these guys. Honestly, I'd love to see Leftwich here. I think his familiarity with the NFCSouth is a big help, particularly his knowledge of those pesky Buccaneers.

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.

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

Listened to Pederson on the Ryen Russillo podcast the other week and I think he's got the tools and obviously the track record.  Seems like a guy that could have a long successful coordinator career post-HC life that the players love.

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. 

I would add Byron Leftwich.  He has p,aged the game and coached the game and had a chance to learn from Arians and others

I’m not saying this cuz he’s with the Cowboys, but somebody shoot me if we hire Kellen Moore.

That to me would be like hiring Joe Brady as head coach.

Moore actually has less coaching experience than Brady did.

So does Leftwich.

Personally, I could see either Eberflus or Pederson as HC and if that happens, bring in Matt Nagy as OC if he gets fired from the Bears. I am not sure who either would bring in as DC though...maybe Mike Borgonzi?

Crossing my fingers by some miracle we can just keep Snow.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
