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

[Khyber53]

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.

Nathaniel Hackett

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.

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.

How many degrees of separation is Pederson from either Baylor or Temple?  Three or more, forget about it.

[Reebis21]

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.

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 

[trueblade]

Not sure why so many would want a one year rental at OC because that's what you're getting with Pederson. Any kind of success and he'll be getting HC interviews. I think if you want Pederson, you give him the HC job.

Moore actually has less coaching experience than Brady did.

So does Leftwich.

[Verge]

I would be cool with Leftwich.

[methodtoll]

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.

I want somebody with more experience.

Hackett has been coaching since 2003. Daboll since 1997.

Leftwich started in 2017.

Again, Byron played the QB position in the NFL. He is the OC under Arians 

he is instantly  credible to the players 

l would take him any day of the week and twice on Sunday

Byron or take a flyer on moore, Doug and Lovie if you want results now
