he's counting the USFL, I guess.

I dunno. If you want to discount what the guy's capable of, because he coaches in college right now, great.

I am not discounting him. Just saying that winning at Stanford does not mean he will win in the NFL. He is less likely to succeed than a coach with more NFL experience, and that more often than not, a coach that moves directly from college hc to NFL HC fails. And usually fails fairly quickly. There are exceptions of course, only two that I can think of, but they do exist. There have been a lot more failures than successes. Of the coaches that have won superbowls, all but two did time as a assistant coach on some NFL team. The reason this is true is that (as this year has proven for the Panthers) experience actually means something.

Fwiw, I got to watch Stanford last year live. They were beat by a team that had less talent than they did, and went most of the second half without scoring. They had more talent, but the other team had better coaching.

Cowher's "legend" has grown bigger than his chin the longer that he has been out of coaching. The NFL has changed a lot since he has been out. It is more of a QB driven, passing league than it has ever been. The players are also different. They demand respect more nowadays. Is Cowher going to be able to change his brash style to be able to motivate today's players?

IMO, Harbaugh would be the better choice.

Harbaugh would be a Great choice been Honest, he is not in the NFL that point is plain an clear but to not feel like he isnt a good enough coach to Qualify for the Job is Crazy. I would like to see him as our coach next year, but am im sure it will happen I really dont know. I think what has to happen for harbaugh to come to the League is Rich Rodriguez has to keep the job at Michigan, Also Andrew Luck has to come to the league. Only one of them look possible an thats if Luck comes to the league an more then likely i think he will.

But if the Michigan job opens up like i think it will,I think he would stay in the NCAA. But there is always that chance but i think more then likely he will stay in the NCAA. An you have to also consider how he feels about Standford also, so you have to think about Stanford an Michigan.

Now i know some of you feel like Big name coaches will be an better option because they even won the super Bowl or just have an lot of expierence. For the panthers Organization I think it will be a process of who ever has the best chance to rebuild the team an to be able to make Jimmy Clausen a Good QB. An thats either Brian Billick or Bill cowher if you looking at big name coaches.

The reason why i name these two an not Gruden is because i know gruden is a good Coach. But its his personality people in Tampa hated him an it lead up to him been fired.He also didnt have a stable QB also. I dont think Gruden will get a chance, thats just my opinion.

I been thinking for a while about who might get a chance an it seems more like it will be Russ Grimm an Brian Schottenheimer. Russ Grimm was an offensive lineman Just like Jeff Davidson an you know what they like to do, an that is run the ball i just dont feel the offense will be even better with hm as the coach. He just seem more like the type of coach that we have Now, an i think its time for a Small change. Brian Schottenheimer i believe is really Over hyped seriously his jets Offense is 20 in the league in passing an they are 4 in Running. like I said his offense isnt all that great.

There are other coaches to think about also maybe somebody like Bill O'brein he is the QB coach an Offensive Coordinator of the Patriots he has his hand in the Play calling an his finger prints all over the Offense. Maybe Curtis Johnson the WR coach from the saints he isnt an offensive coordinator but he can teach players the game an he has made some of the best Recievers in the league, including Andre Johnson from his Miami Days. Just a couple of guys to look at.

absolutely, there's no guarantee of success for anyone.

One game really doesn't make effective scouting, though, anymore than looking up the top prospect at a position makes for good scouting. I don't know what game you're talking about, personally. I've never seen them not represent well.

As for time as an assistant, again, Harbaugh's done that at the pro level.

I get liking or not liking a guy, but discounting on things that have little to do with him is something I have issues with. FWIW, I don't think he'll come out, I don't think he'd come here. I think plenty of people are in love with him based on Luck and that tie. But looking at him versus a Schottenheimer, Grimm, or any of the other offensive prospects, I just see a much better fit.

I like Harbaugh a ton but I don't think he is primed for an NFL coaching job yet. I don't think he'd take it either. If Stanford doesn't hold onto him (which they will do just about anything to do so) he'll go to a bigger school and bigger conference.

NFL isn't in the future for him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
