Potential Head Coaches

[Cat'sGrowl]

You want Regiie White to coach the Panthers from the grave?

Edited for size.

[Mr. Scot]

Green was never really that great a coach. Decent OC, but as a head coach his teams pretty much always folded in the playoffs.

Some of the Viking teams he coached were a ridiculous assembly of talent. Unbelievable he couldn't get to the Super Bowl with some of the players he had.

[rayzor]

did you see his HOF speech?

I thought he made a good case for himself..

sorry, decent speech for a retired football player. doesn't make him more marketable.

So, basically, your saying he's a lock for the job?

He won't even get a phone call. much less an interview.

I was making the comment because you said you dont think he is a good salesman..I gave you his HOF speech as a example that he is.

A good speech can make you more marketable.IMO one the reasons Leslie Frazier has not been a HC is because he reportedly interviews bad

Bu-bu-but..

Maybe..like..the Rooney rule will..maybe...

It'd just be a travesty if we didn't sign him! :willy_nilly:

what i mean a good salesman is someone who can not just talk about the good old days, but who has a big vision of what the team can do and the ability to convey it to others, getting them to buy into it as well. grimm doens't strike me as someone who can do that. solid coach, but nothing dynamic. probably a guy i would work for if my options were limited. i just don't see him being more than fox in that department. he's a bare bones kind of guy. he's broccolli and we need some cheese on it to make it more attractive/tasty.

jim harbaugh can get just about anyone pumped about his vision. grimm is mainly appealing to the old school guys. old fans. old football players. i just see grimm as a continuation of what we have in fox and i seriously think the team needs to move away from that.

There are three minority coaches (Leslie Frazier, Ron Rivera and Winston Moss) who have a legitimate shot at actually getting the job, not just a Rooney Rule interview.

But does the team see that need?

That's gonna be an important question this offseason.

well, from listening to hurney this year, it seems like he's getting it. and if you think that it's just talk, take a look at how the draft went. it wasn't typical foxball picks. it was a bunch of fast guys...not just that, there were 5 picks commited to the passing game. sure, that was an area that we needed help in, but to me, that was a pretty big indicator of what he sees as important and the direction he's heading. it's going to be fast, aggressive, and in keeping with the times. it's also going to need to be run by someone who personifies that. the team is going to be changing course. it has to. hurney realizes that and i'm willing to bet, so does richardson.

all that being said, i could see where gruden might be a serious contender for the job. if thats the case, hopefully he's learned some stuff about how to deal with players. i wouldn't be thrilled with it, but i can see it.

harbaugh, though, just looks like the guy who would best personify all of that. hiring him doesn't mean that we'd all of a sudden turn into some massive pass happy team, look at stanford. that is a massive run heavy team that is led by a smart QB who can do it all. imo, thats something that can happen here. you take luck and you've got a talented jake with less mistakes. to take harbaugh and you've got a HC that doesn't settle for 3 out of 4 wins and coaches not to lose but who coaches to embarrass and destroy the other team. a guy who is confident and relentless and who expects and demands the best of his guys and is able to bring it out.

Safe to say right now in the Pac 10 Harbaugh and Stanford ar considered the most physical football team.

Speaking of Luck, I'm currently watching the Stanford vs. Cal game. Luck only had 6 passing yards in the first quarter, and against a team that is unranked. Granted he had a fantastic run for big yardage, but that's not what we are looking at (scrambling is great, but we are talking about passing here). Now isn't 1st quarter production on offense what we are looking for? I know the kid is a great QB, probably something special. But the whole game so far I've been begging for a pass play in which I don't have to compare Andrew Luck to Byron Leftwich (that 6 yard pass in the 1st quarter had a massive windup).

Not a hater, if we draft him great. I will get excited and get his jersey. I am just expecting some lights out play from him.
