Parcells, Cowher, or Marty not available for HC OR GM WHO IS YOUR PICK FOR EACH!

THOSE ARE THE FRONT RUNNERS, AND ALL OF THEM HAVE EITHER STATED THEY DON'T WANT TO COACH, OR IS PROBABLY NOT AVAILABLE. SO TAKE THOSE OUT OF THE RUNNING WHO DO YOU WANT AS GM AND HC?

Pioli or Reese for GM...and Rex Ryan for Coach.

Honestly my first choice for GM was to keep Savage, but I already lost on that one. My 2nd choice would be to keep him on as personnel director, but nope.
GM, I'm not sure, I'd like someone who is going to stick around for a while, build with good talent through the draft, and give us some more players to be proud of.
Part of my uneasyness with Pioli is that New England really seems to not have any loyalty to a lot of their players. I mean, they've had a revolving door at their RB spot through this entire era. Well, Kevin Faulk has been there a while. And I guess plenty of others have been there for a while, too. . . maybe I'm just uneasy about the execs coming out of New England.
GM, I'm not sure which direction I would go, as I don't know enough about the candidates and who else is available. I don't particularly like Parcells, but I guess Pioli would be good.
Coaching, I'd like to go young and fiery. Ryan, Spagnuolo (sp?), McDaniels, Garrett. . .
2009 prediction: 8-8, with a much more respectible looking team, and hopefully 3-3 in the division with at least 1 win over each team. -
Money talks......and I personally still think Marty will be back....afterall, it was Modell that ran him off the last time....
-
GM- Scott Pioli
HC- Josh Mcdaniels
OC- Kirk Ferentz
DC- Rex Ryan
If we get those guys in, my christmas will be fulfilled.
-
Is Chris Polian a chip off the old block? That would be nice.
Pioli seems to be the best that's available. Reese has done well for himself.
For HC I'd like:
1. Schwartz
2. Spags
3. Ryan

I think Rich and Ghoolie would say that Chris Polian is a coffee fetcher, like Spags and Schwartz and Ryan. Everybody is a coffee fetcher, so nobody should ever be promoted from a coordinator position or player personnel position.
GM - Pioli or Casserly
HC - McDaniels, Spagnoula or Garrett
DC - Mangini
-
I'm just hoping it isn't Marry Snottemheimer!
That man's a good coach an all but I just don't like his style of play. I'm hoping Rex Ryan goes to St. Louis so I'll say he's out of the question (but who really knows)?
Here's who I think would be perfect for the job.
GM - Scott Pioli
HC - Jason Garret
OC - ?????
DC - Rob Marinelli
Who could they hire as OC...that's not an OC already?
-
GM - Pioli
HC - McDaniels, Schwartz, Marty
I wonder how much better our current coordinators would be without Crennel's influence ...
-
Here's what I'm thinking right now:
GM:
Phil SavageScott PioliHC: Jim Schwartz
- Belichick-like defensive genius will take over our squad. Might transition to a 4-3 (see DC).
- Dolphins QB coach; responsible for installing WildDawg formation in their offense
- Other possibilities: Brian Schottenheimer, Mike Sherman, Norm Chow
- Scheme-versatile defensive guru has run a 3-4 in the past, though he prefers an aggressive 4-3 scheme
- Here's Schwartz describing his former boss:
Gregg is obviously one of the guys responsible for me being where I am right now. Just learning the way he did things and being able to sort of pick and choose how he would handle a situation opposed to Marvin Lewis or Bill Belichick. I think the one thing Gregg has done is adapt from year to year. His defense differs in some aspects from when he was with the Titans, with the Buffalo Bills and now with the Redskins.
- Other possibilities: Dom Capers, Jim Haslett, Romeo Crennel
-
I can't get too jazzed about the name-game because I haven't a real clue about any of these guys.
So I'll go back to this: the next HC needs to be THE MAN, a real personality, a real presence, someone with real self-confidence based on his skill and his succesful past, someone the team will take notice of and someone who will put the team on notice, a real coach who can coach but also lead. Oh, and he should be on the younger side, someone who will learn and grow and be here a while.
Yeah, yeah, that's what everybody is looking for, I get it, I'm just sayin', whoever comes CLOSEST to that is my guy.
I don't know much about Schwartz but I'm impressed with the Titans D. Not a huge Ryan fan; doesn't seem to have the personality I'm lookin' for.
As for McDaniels, I'd be really concerned about such a young hire UNLESS he exhibits some measure of the traits I just listed. As a guy who played QB, he likely has some of IT and obviously he can coach so he has to be considered seriously, despite his youth.
-
Please god no on Jason Garret.
My brother is a die hard Dallas fan and all I've heard all season is him bitch about lousy offensive playcalling you could see coming a mile away on a team with more talent on the offense than most teams have on their roster.
Garrett and Chud are one in the same, flash in the pans. If you want Garrett as HC or OC you may as well take Chud and provide some continuity we've been lacking since we came back.

Some interesting info on Jim Schwartz (from PFW
- Before the '04 season, Schwartz contemplated switching the Titans to a 3-4 defense, but GM Floyd Reese nixed the idea.
- Schwartz's contract with the Titans expired after the '04 season, making him a free agent able to sign on as a DC elsewhere. Before deciding to re-sign with the Titans, he was mentioned as a possible replacement for RAC in New England & as a possible Nick Saban hire in Miami. Apparently, 3-4 teams were interested in bringing him on as DC.
- He likes to employ a "Ruby" package that includes three safeties, where one of them either blitzes, stacks the box, or drops into coverage. Sean Jones would seem to be a good fit in this package, especially if it meant more time stopping the run & less time covering TE's & receivers.
- In his scheme, the middle linebacker is a two-down run stopper. Their MLB (Stephen Tulloch) isn't a great athlete (4.81 40) but has good short-area quickness (4.18). Maybe Beau Bell could actually amount to something? At the very least, it seems like he could be a backup at this spot.
- Schwartz is said to be very fond of Robaire Smith, who has a good understanding of Schwartz's scheme. It'd be nice to have Robaire explain the system to Corey Williams & Shaun Rogers, kind of like what Willie Mac (allegedly) did with our young 3-4 linebackers.
- Schwartz isn't without some flaws:
Schwartz may be the most qualified assistant in terms of pure brainpower, but he has a tendency to come across as overly arrogant — a quality that should be very interesting to monitor in the coming days and weeks.
“I wish there was more consistency from Jim Schwartz,” said one veteran league source. “Would you have said he were a hot candidate last year? … He’s very, very smart, but he’s always the smartest guy in the room.
“You have to know what you’re getting and be able to manage him.”
This is definitely concern...but it also fits the Belichick genius/asshole mold. And if there's someone who knows how to manage that type of personality, it's Scott Pioli.

i think i actually have a favorite to become the head coach, regardless of who we have as our GM. evil defensive genius? yes. all day.
also, david lee from miami is an interesting idea. the WildDawg was a great fit for miami and worked in the rest of the league, but we'd have to hire him knowing that he's got other tricks up his sleeve.
and i think williams may still be under contract with jacksonville as their DC, meaning he's off limits to us.
either way, schwartz sounds fantastic. his arrogance, though, might serve him well as a coordinator and be a roadblock as a HC, someone who's more of a motivator. i'd like to see him turn over the offense to the OC entirely if he becomes a coach.
edit: almost forgot: floyd reese sucks.

He really sent that team through cap hell.You're right about Gregg Williams being under contract, but I think the rumor is that he'll be fired after this season. Their defense has underperformed, but a lot of that can be blamed on Derrick Harvey's extended holdout & their suddenly average run game not eating up the clock.
So I think he'd be an interesting guy to bring in. He's known as a disciplinarian, which should help cut down on our D's mental mistakes.
About David Lee: I have no idea if he's more than a WildDawg guy. He was Arkansas' OC before coming to Miami, so it could be that's all he's got.
But like you, I'm more interesting in making sure that we have an evil defensive genius. That would be sweet.
-
seems like there are two directions lee could go in: he's either a) just the WildDawg guy or
ken whisenhunt. either way, seems like he's worth an interview for OC. it does seem we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, though. chud's not even been fired and we're already picking his replacement.
-
Yeah - if we go evil genius as HC, then it's possible that Chud could be kept on (though I don't think it's likely). If McDaniels gets the job, I'm sure he'll want to bring in someone who runs his system.
Some team's going to get a good TE coach in Chud. I wonder if Ravens OC Cam Cameron brings Chud (& his knowledge of our personnel) to Baltimore.

HC-Josh McDaniels/Steve Spagnuolo
OC-Jim Caldwell
DC-Eric Mangini
