I like to avoid high risk situations. If Greg proves that he is good at coaching WRs ect, then I'd feel more comfortable moving him up the ladder further. To start him at the top is more risk than what I am comfortable with taking. Just my opinion.

Cant do any worse lol, but my advice would be for Greg to stay in the broadcast booth.

Yeah, that doesn't mean hiring a Jeff Saturday will work.

I know we all are bias toward Greg, but that's probably not a great idea. I personally would still love for him to have some part of the staff, but it's just not realistic for a guy with zero coaching experience get offered a HC gig. Let's get him as a TEs coach first. Maybe Luke or Davis as a LB coach if they're interested. Screw it, call up Peppers and see what's he up to. Smith as a receivers coach? Fine with that, too.

How ridiculous id hate to go from 1-16 to 0-17

Greg is a very intelligent guy.  His dad is a coach so he has some basics about the job.  He's a former player that can and will get respect from the players. 

If I were Greg, my deciding factor would be that Tepper stays in the Owner's booth and him and the GM (whoever it may be) have complete control over the roster.

I could see him really doing well.

Who has Greg Olsen coached? A f u c k i n. Pop Warner team ARE YALL SERIOUS? Hell Noooo!!!!!

[tukafan21]

I actually wouldn't have been against seeing him as the interim, he has a great football mind and he's great at knowing what is about to happen.

So sure, if he had agreed to do that, I'd have been curious to see how the team would respond to him and what he'd do with Bryce.

But not a fan of hiring him in the offseason unless we really can't get any quality candidates interested for the job, rather see someone else fail than Olsen

[toldozer]

Luke of all the former players is a guy I could see being a great head coach.  He'd probably burn himself out in 5 years though

Greg, you are a legend here and much loved 

Don’t come here as a coach and destroy both of those things 

spend time with your family and your new career.  

loved watching you play but don’t do this with the egomaniac and be yet another scapegoat 
 

[Gapanthersfan]

His intelligence of the game is second only to Luke in the history of our franchise.

I would LOVE to see his offensive brain in action.

I would hate to see the legacy of NFL career blemished.

Greg ain’t no dummy. He knows that less than a year’s work he will have collected tens of millions and be able to be back in the booth. Golf course. Whatever he wants.

I haven't seen anyone say he coached a team.  I know he comes from a family where his father is a highly respected coach.

If you have ever listened to Olsen you'll know he is very intelligent and understands detail.   His obvious success would be hitched to his coordinators but as a head coach I have no doubt that he would win the locker room and be successful.
