Who do you like besides Cowher


hook

Recommended Posts

I really expect the next coach we hire will be a coordinator from another team. I like Russ Grimm from Arizona. I normally prefer defensive guys as head coaches but that is all we have ever had and I think it might be time for a change. Grimm being an o-line coach would not be that different to a def. coach running the team. I also think Sean Mcdermott from philly, Zimmer from the bengals, Mularkey from the Falcons, and Williams from the Saints are interesting. Any thoughts?

Gary Patterson.

Guy is just a damn fine coach. Defensive minded but like a high powered offense to compliment his typically stingy defenses.

Also, we have a relatively young team and a college coach would fit well in team development.

Although he seems like a long shot and an unproven NFL coach...we do have a pretty direct connection to Mr Patterson

That is a very interesting connection. What college coach besides Jimmy Johnson has been a success in the NFL as a head coach? At the least Notre Dame should give him a call.

No, I meant Kelsey Grammer.

Okay, not really, but if we were to go with a current coordinator, I'd imagine he'll be sure to get a look.

:)

No doubt. I think he'll be a head coach somewhere next season. I mean, he's played a successful part in some big name defenses with the Eagles, Colts, and now the Vikings.

He even saw improvement out of the Bengals defense during the two years he was there.

I know right now people are clamoring for some offensive genius who will be able to optimize the talent we have, but our defense is far from stable right now. I would love to see us get back to being an elite defense. We've got enough talent on offense that I don't think we need some offensive mastermind.

Yep you need a defensive coach to keep a strong defense. You don't need a offensive minded coach, just not a (to an extreme) ultra conservative defensive minded coach. Why can't we have a little of both. Honestly I haven't heard a better and more importantly realistic option than Cowher as of yet.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
