Peter King lists potential NFL Head Coaches for 2013

[CardiacCats]

I want Ray Horton, Chip Kelly or David Shaw

I'd kill myself if we hired Ferentz or Marrone

[iamcline]

McCoy

[UNCrules2187]

[CardiacCats]

Not happening, Shaw wants to leave a Bowden-type legacy in college football. I'd love to have this man leading our team but I really don't even think it's realistic.

[Kurb]

god... can you imagine this place if McCoy ended up here?

I'll give up.

[Guest Tom Cat]

No way in hell JR hires a college coach - though I would have no problem with it

[CardiacCats]

Ray Horton or Bruce Arians are my top choices as far as coordinators go

[UNCrules2187]

I don't think Shaw is a realistic candidate either, but not because he doesn't want to leave Stanford (while I believe that some coaches do want to leave a legacy at their college jobs, it's different to say no to speculation vs an actual, hard NFL-salary level offer), but because I don't think JR would approve of a college coach. We'll see.

IF we go coordinator, I'd like us to think outside the box and try a ST coach like Harbaugh was. Toub or Seely could both make good HCs, IMO.

[Mr. Scot]

I'll give up.

Me too.

Where is Russ Grimm?

IF we go coordinator, I'd like us to think outside the box and try a ST coach like Harbaugh was.

Better something outside the box than a retread like Cowher or Koetter or anyone else. John Harbaugh was a ST coach and he's had a winning record and been to the playoffs every single year.

No way JR hires one of Fox's assistants.

I'm putting my money on Kelly or Shaw. IMO both would be incredible hires...Kelly is going to have to convince JR and the GM that he can make his offense work in the NFL. Shaw is going to have to convince GMs that he didn't just piggy-back off of Harbaugh's greatness and his system. Love the guy's attitude though...doesn't back down from anyone.

Harbough has obviously worked out, but I think that is more an exception to the rule.

I hope we go after someone that has head coaching experience. People around the league were high on Rivera being head coach material, but turns out he has mismanaged games worse than 12 year olds on Madden, and I'm not even being facetious.
