Potential Head Coaches


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

If in fact what John Clayton claims is true then Richardson wants to go for a young, hot off the press assistant coach that the team can build around for years.

Not that many out there that are considered young except for Brian Schottenhiemer (Sp?), Leslie Frazier, etc...

One name that hasn't been brought up that might could be taken into consideration is Frank Bush, who is currently the defensive coordinator for Houston. Under his direction, Houston's defense has gradually improved since coming into the league.

Honestly though, I don't get the logic that Schottenheimer's name is "over hyped" when Cowhers' and Harbaugh's name is consistently brought up on this forum more.

If not Cowher...then Harbaugh. I'm just hoping the Cowboys don't come calling for him. IMO Frazier will be the next Vikings coach so he's not a possibility. Gruden is going to the Browns to coach for Holmgren and Cowher is either waiting for the Giants job, the SD job, or not coming back.

I still say that Jim Harbaugh is being over hyped. I just don't trust college coaches as NFL head coaches, I'm sorry, I just don't. I know he has NFL experience as a player but the fact remains that he no experience as a coach at the pro level.

Again, the most likely scenario will be us going after an assistant/coordinator like a Frazier or Grimm and knowing how Richardson works, we'll most likely go after someone young and inexpensive.

Saban and Petrino have ruined it for a lot of guys, but in the past there were a fair number of college guys who succeeded well at the pro level (Jimmy Johnson is a prime example).

What distinguished Harbaugh from others is that he does have experience in the NFL both as a player and a position coach. Minimal on the second front, I'll grant, but it's there.

That, and he's got a "step-on-your-neck-til-it-fuging-bleeds" attitude that we've been missing for years now...

If we get Harbaugh, I'm changing my sig pic to one that has his pic, a Panther, and the slogan "No More Mr. Nice Guy!" :D

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
