What about college coaches?

my curiosity has been appeased. do not want. not without significant NFL experience anyways. Harbaugh would be the only one, and even then i don't know that his mindset and approach is sustainable. 

it's all football, but being a college coach is a very different approach to coaching than NFL.

Neither you nor anyone else really knows that. 

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

That's what David Tepper said when Vegas had Harbaugh as the odds on favorite to be the next Coach of the Panthers, look at us now.

It's Harbaugh or bust. Payton isn't going to be made available by the Saints, foolishness, not happening.

Should we hire a former Panthers QB to coach the team? No brainer. .695 NFL win percentage, the proof is in the pudding.

Give me someone with a better resume, a better record..

.

I'm all ears......

I would love Harbaugh to be our next HC, but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't be better. There is nothing akin to the laws of physics when trying to say just because that blonde-haired coach didn't work out, that the next one want. Or just because that 300 pound defensive coordinator worked out, that the next one will also. You MUST look at each coach/assistant on their own merits.

Given what Tepper said about giving coaches less control in his presser, I do not see Harbaugh being a candidate.

I'd add Shane Waldron, OC, Seahawks to the first timers offense list. Comes from the McVay coaching tree and what he's done with Geno and the Seahawks offense this year is super impressive.

Jerod Mayo is going to be a successful HC soon. We might not be interested in a first-timer defensive coach, but I'm telling ya! 

[Waldo]

The list of offensive coordinators as first time hires had me excited about potential options.

The list of failures that already proved they were better coordinators than HCs make me realize I had better learn to settle for the safe meh because it sure feels like that is what we are rushing towards. 

And fug Payton, it wouldn't work here and I doubt he doesn't washout in 2 years wherever he goes. Talking on TV is such a cushy job compared with the coaching grind. His best days are years behind him.

Keep on eye on Liam Coen as well. Rams OC. Part of the McVay tree and has worked with him for a while

I am .695 in a four year NFL career. That's fifth best historically.

No better resume, no better record. That's why experience and prior success preferred.

Any records better, any resume better?

[saX man]

Top OCs: Shane Steichen, Wes Phillips, Ken Dorsey, & Ben Johnson

Top DCs: Demeco Ryans, Larry Foote, Jerod Mayo 

Positional/Other: Bubba Ventrone

Retreads: I'd prefer none

[Jon Snow]

I'm not listening to any of you fools again.  Most of you were championing Rhule that last time we were looking for a head coach.  Then it was all hale Joe Brady, then Ben McAdoo.  None of you could pick a winner if you were handed one on a platter.

I'd take Jim Harbaugh in a second.

Yeah, I think he is very much an exception but agree with this.  Not sure if any other college coaches fall into this category but agree with this.

[jb2288]

Anyone from that list I'd be happy with minus Byron or any of the retreads (minus Payton)
