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.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
