  • OK Cohwer is out.. I am actually breathing a sigh of relief for some reason.. I was wondering about Herm Edwards.. If the Chiefs axe him.. I like him a lot.. Guy can coach.. Jets were stupid for getting rid of him.. Chiefs are just about as screwed up as we are right now.. but they do have Herm.. His is good.

  • I agree, Jim Schwartz should be the top choice. Jeff Fisher is an excellent coach and mentor and this guy has all of the credentials and experience.

    oh, god, no. herm edwards is romeo with a fully buttoned polo shirt. he runs teams into the ground everywhere he goes.

  • Scwartz is tops on my list, as well.

    I'd love to have a coach who excels at the cat and mouse game that goes on every Sunday.

  • Fisher runs the Titans defense, Schwartz is his pimp.

    Spagnola mentored under Jimmy Johnson the Eagles DC and runs the whole show for the Giants on the defensive side of the ball.

    The Cowboys have already given Garrett permission to interview with the Lions and K.C. He had a flunk-out year this year and his offense is as perdictable as Chuds.

    Rex Ryan is a DC and has no experience with any other part of the game. That's scary.

    Cowher has said no, but is willing to talk to the Jets.

    Mularky is a retread, was a failure as a HC in Buffalo, enough said. Good coordinator and that's it.

    Marty isn't interested in coaching, looking for an avenue for his son to be a HC.

    If you would have done a little more homework on McDaniel you would have found out that Tom Brady gives him the credit for his development, not Weiss. He also brought Cassell from nowhere to NFL star in one year. Belichick leaves all the offensive game planning to him. Belichick works with the defense. Bill Cowher was 32 when the Browns passed on him and Pittsburgh made him their HC.

    My top pick would be Spagnola. I'd take McDaniel if he could convince me in an interview that he would bring in a top DC and turn the defense over to him. McDaniel is a better offensive mind then Garrett. I know his father well and Josh was born to be a coach. Note: He is a teacher and pays particular attention to the smallest details. He has a innovative offensive mind and fits the system to the players. Now, that is from an interview with Tom Brady.

  • 1. Jim Schwartz: I like him, but he may be a product of Albert Haynesworth being amazing and Jeff Fisher. But I like him.

    2. Steve Spagnolo: Would be excellent for this team IMO.

    3. Rex Ryan: Again, I like him, but I think there's a reason he hasn't gotten that gig yet after being talked about being for a HC position for years it seems.

    4. Jason Garret: Screw him. He couldn't score with Romo, Barber, TO, Witten, Williams etc.

    5. Bill Cower: Prefers the Jets? Screw him too.

    6. Mike Mularky: 😆

    7. Mary Shot-and-Beer: 😆

    8 Josh McDaniels: A risk, but coupled with Pioli and solid, aggressive coordinators, I can't see why anyone besides rich and Ghoolie would be dead-set against this.

    Let's say we don't get Pioli. Who then f will we get as our GM?????

  • I don't see Romeo going to DC. New coach new staff. Only way is even remotely possible is if we stay with a 3-4 which is doubtful. As for minority candidates.. I am sure there are several qualified. Not sure if Singletary can officially be hired by san fran... but we could certainly do worse than him. I like his fire and coaching roots.. He has that old school attitude I love.

    Singeltary is already off the market--I'm still not sure if he'll succeed, but he's done better than I thought in his interim period.

    I could see RAC staying on as DC if it's Pioli/McDaniels. He's a Patriots guy, so it would fit in with the motif. McDaniels used to work under him, so there's a relationship. And most young coaches need an old hand around, and RAC would fill that need and not be a threat to replace McDaniels.

    As for the other candidates:

    1) Schwartz seems like a guy that is a solid HC in waiting. Would make an excellent choice if Pioli doesn't come to Cleveland and they bring in someone like Floyd Reese (his GM in Tennessee for a while) instead.

    2) Spagnolo is another guy who could be a really good pick. Just as a "okay, it wouldn't happen, but still" thought, how weird would it be if he brought Chris Palmer along with him?

    3) I'm not so sure about Ryan. He's done a good job, but the real star of the Ravens' defensive system is Ozzie Newsome...does the man ever whiff on a pick?

    4) Garrett...oy. Alright, he seems to have fallen off the table this year, but remember that Owens has made every coach he's ever had look bad; if Parcells would rather quit than try to deal with him, can we blame Garrett? Plus it's hard to not question Tony Romo at this point; he is starting to look like a major choke artist, and it's hard to blame Garrett for Romo holding the ball for ten seconds at a time yesterday. Still, I would pass at the moment.

    5) Cowher is a moot point.

    6) I have no particular use for Mularkey.

    7) Agreed with whoever says that Schottenheimer wants to be a GM to get his kid a HC job.

    😎 McDaniels...if Pioli comes, McDaniels will come. Let's hope for the best.

  • I'm rooting for Schwartz. He's the most Belichickian of all of the candidates to be Pioli's new Belichick.

    Here's a cool quote:

    "(Schwartz is) probably one of the smartest people that I've been around," Belichick said. "He's one of these guys that can be working on five or six things at the same time, and be right on top of all of them. He's a hard-working guy, he knows no hours and no time frame. He's very dedicated. He's a good football guy, a good football mind, a good guy to be around.

    "He's done well. But that doesn't surprise me."

    Tonight, Tony Grossi predicted that Schwartz will get the job. An NFL executive told Terry Pluto the same thing.

    Plus, he's already got a ready-made catchphrase.

  • Fisher runs the Titans defense, Schwartz is his pimp.

    Spagnola mentored under Jimmy Johnson the Eagles DC and runs the whole show for the Giants on the defensive side of the ball.

    The Cowboys have already given Garrett permission to interview with the Lions and K.C. He had a flunk-out year this year and his offense is as perdictable as Chuds.

    Rex Ryan is a DC and has no experience with any other part of the game. That's scary.

    Cowher has said no, but is willing to talk to the Jets.

    Mularky is a retread, was a failure as a HC in Buffalo, enough said. Good coordinator and that's it.

    Marty isn't interested in coaching, looking for an avenue for his son to be a HC.

    If you would have done a little more homework on McDaniel you would have found out that Tom Brady gives him the credit for his development, not Weiss. He also brought Cassell from nowhere to NFL star in one year. Belichick leaves all the offensive game planning to him. Belichick works with the defense.

    This makes me want Mcdaniels even more, plus, he's a Cleveland guy, he played quarterback for John Carrol and I think with BQ this could be an awesome duo. I want Mcdaniels even if we dont get Pioli.

  • McDaniels scares me.. too young and I have to wonder....is he just a "coach Bill" puppet like Romeo?. I still like Swartz and Spags at the top of my list. If the Shanahan rumour is true. then he is right in this mix too then. ..Anyone have any idea who the minority coaches are that are going to be in all these interview processes??? The requirement now is that they must be interviewed... There certainly are many minority coaches around... who are we missing is my question.. Someone is going to come from no where and land one of these jobs.... just watch..Either that or someone will interview well enough to set themself up for the next offseason.

  • Tony Grossi mentioned Perry Fewell and Greg Blache as guys who may be interviewed.
