Picking a favorite coach


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

More than one guy has said that all the discussion related to future head coaches has their head swimming. And speaking as the guy researching and writing uot a lot of that info, can't say I blame them. I look down the list of possibles, think of the pros, the cons, the risks, the rewards, etc. There are soooooo many variables to it that it's pretty easy to just look at it all and go :willy_nilly:

Still, if you want to pick a favorite to stick with, here's a suggestion that may help give your thought process a little clarity.

Take a particular candidate, and imagine for a moment that he just got hired to coach a division rival.

Does the thought scare you? :eek:

How about if he's hired by a division rival and we hire one of the other potentials. Does the thought of that coaching matchup make you feel confident, or queasy?

The guy who scares you the most as a rival coach is likely going to be the guy you most want on your side.

Keep in mind that we're only going to be hiring one guy. The others may get head coaching jobs with other teams, which means those coaching matchups - while they may not be inside the division - will happen at some point.

So, who would you be the most concerned about us having to coach against?

I know some would probably throw out a name like Cowher or Gruden, but I don't think they're realistic candidates. That's why I'm not profiling any retreads in the head coaching thread.

(and anyway, it's not like we haven't successfully coached against Gruden before)

Bill Parcells

Highly unlikely to happen (plus we've faced him as a head coach before, and beaten him)

The guys who represent the most realistic possibilities right now are Leslie Frazier, Russ Grimm, Mike Zimmer, Jim Harbaugh, and maybe Sean McDermott.

Others that are possible - but less likely - would be Mike Heimerdinger, Ron Rivera, Winston Moss, Brian Schottenheimer, Jason Garrett and Perry Fewell.

arent you forgetting Cowher xD

No, I'm not. Cowher isn't happening.

He'd want more control than the organization would be comfortable with, he'd cost more than they want to pay, and Jerry Richardson isn't so high on retreads after his experience with George Seifert.

People can debate all they want about whether he ought to be a candidate, but it's a pretty safe bet that he won't be :nonod:

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
