What kind of head coach does this team need?


The Question

Recommended Posts

For the last 3 years I've been watching quietly, never vented about Rivera, never jumped onto the Huddle in a spat after a loss to call for his job. After week 2 in Buffalo I can whole heatedly declare that my position has changed. I think deep down since him being brought in we all had lingering questions as to, is this guy really savvy enough to run an NFL team? I know I did. He just doesn't seem that intelligent. You see the Harbaughs, Sean Payton, Pete Carrol, Mike Mcarthy. Unarguably successful coaches in the NFL, one thing you can attest to is all then being pretty intelligent guys. You can tell when they speak, you can tell by their teams on the field and the product they put on the field on Sundays. Does this team need to finally make a switch to a more control oriented, play calling coach? I know I'm ready to see a guy with a headset on with a huge play sheet actually asserting some control as to how this team plays on Sunday. I think it's time we found a scientist.

The only requirement I have is that he has been a head coach prior to taking this job.  I don't care what level:  College, NFL, CFL, Europe, whatever.  I just want the next coach to know how to manage a game, properly use timeouts, and not challenge insanely stupid things.

A coach that is accountable. A coach that directs criticism away from the players. A coach that can tailor their scheme to the players they have available. A coach that is able to make in game adjustments. A coach that is able to make calculated risks. A coach that is not a DEFENSIVE minded coach.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
