What kind of head coach does this team need?

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.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
