I'm all for Bill Cowher without researching any other candidates. I wonder how hard it would be for us to switch to a 3-4.

Can't be that hard. Outside of Charles Johnson, is ther really anyone who you would be heartbroken if we didn't keep? Fuggin blow up the D-Line, and let's Extreme Makeover Football Edition that B.

Just to beat a dead horse with the 3-4 talk and considering the mood is bad around here...

I am not a defensive guru or claim to be...but would a combo of 52/59 on the inside of a 3-4 be most advantageous..it would get arguably are two best LB on the field together playing the inside. Lord knows we don't have any other pieces of a 3-4, but its interesting to think about considering the down turn this season has taken.

I would think we would need to beef up at NT and have larger outside linebackers.

EDIT: To answer the OP

GM: Polian, but he might be too old. Maybe Polian with a young gun to learn under him for a few years and then take over after he retires..maybe keep Polian as an advisor.

Coach: Would be excited for Cowher..only because he has HC specific experience.

Player: Depending where we are in the top ten. 9-10..I want a homer pick with S Eric Reid, LSU. Anything before..BPA on defense..being a corner of defensive lineman.

People like Cowher typically aren't the brilliant strategist types Rivera and his staff are. (Chuds brilliance at this point is fools gold I know)

While those "brilliant" strategist types typically don't have a strong fundamental focus.

Very rarely do coaches come along who do both well, and while i wasn't all the way on the bandwagon at the time-Harbaugh appears as if he may have indeed been one of those rarities.

I'm basically saying Cowher isn't the answer for those of you who didn't catch it.

While the college offense we run now is crap as a Base O, it'd be nice to incorporate it into our offense and I'm not sure Cowher is the type to do so. Also think the Coryell is the best possible offense Cam could be in.

So your looking for someone along similar limes that we have now, but has an actual grasp on preparation strategically and fundamentally, and game management, and no, the word stoic doesn't fit in anywhere into this.

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
