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.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
