Your Favorite Head Coach Candidates?

Who are the coaches you'd love to have going into next season?

Mine:

1. Gus Bradley - DC, Seattle Seahawks

Gus Bradley is one of the up and coming coordinators in the league right now. I know we've gone the "hot coordinator" route before, but, it seems like the best route to go, especially in the absolute rebuilding process (which is what we would be in if we hired a new GM/head coach). Monty Kiffin gave his personal recommendation for Bradley when Mora was coach in Seattle, and the guy has had a defense that is progressively getting better.

The guy has drafted incredible players, while adding players through free agency, to bolster his secondary to be one of the best in the league.

2. Wade Phillips - DC, Houston Texans

I know, I know. Everyone thinks that Wade Phillips is a bum, not just Bum's son. He had a rough go of it in Dallas, I know, and he's 1-5 in the playoffs. But, the guy has a winning record where he goes. Not only that, but he has instantly changed the defense into something special in each place he has gone. We would really need a season to transition into Wade's blitzing 34 system, and we'd need to get a really strong OC that could control that entire side of the ball (not Chud, obviously). But, in the end, our defense could be one of the best in the NFC, and we could really get back to a dominant running game.

3. Will Muschamp - HC, Florida

Premature? Maybe. But Will Muschamp is a guy who understands how to win. He won while at Texas, he's winning while at Florida, and he does it in a true NFL fashion. Win in the trenches, win with the defensive line, and win by establishing the run. Will Muschamp has been an assistant head coach in the NFL on the 2005 Miami Dolphins team, after which he went back to college to be a DC and subsequently a head coach.

One thing Muschamp brings to the table is emotions. Muschamp is the antithesis of Rivera. He's yelling, screaming, and cheering on his players. He's like a younger, more exuberant version of Pete Carroll. Also, another thing, if we kept some sort of remnants of the spread offense (with or without the read-option), Muschamp would know it like the back of his hand, having to defend against it all of his years spent coordinating in college.

i don't care one iota about coaches or coordinators until we resolve the problem at GM. at this point getting new coaches is treating the symptom rather than the disease.

we don't need band-aids, we need antibiotics.

I absolutely agree.

This is a list of head coaches, with the assumption that Hurney has already been cast away.

    • 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    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
