Who Do You Want to Be The Head Coach?

Hard to say what Zimmer will bring to the table on offense and an OC, which is my biggest concern and why he's probably a 2nd tier type HC prospect.

Gruden has no business getting an HC gig though. His play-calling is uninspiring, he shows nothing on the sidelines, and a drunk driver is the last thing the undisciplined guys need in a leader. Better than Mike and Kyle? Probably. But my hope with Jay would be some kind of agreement that his brother will come in after him, probably after two subpar seasons. Given how little interest we've garnered from A list prospects I'm wondering if out next HC will just be a placeholder type.

No I've been a huge Maualuga fan and kept on eye on Cinci. Like I said that defense sets the tone for the whole team. Offense has some amazing weapons and Greens natural ability to make plays and green Ellis hard running is the core of the offense. Nothing special about them otherwise.

On a side nite chad rinehardt is a bruising guard the Chargers were smart to grab him.

So basically, you don't know much about him.

Tell me what else I should know. Other than he's our next HC.

If you're seriously holding a DUI from 8 years ago over his head as a reason not to hire him, I'd say do some more homework.

C'mon chotchi, I'm asking a serious question. Try to give a serious answer. Why is Gruden a good HC prospect?

Why is he not a good HC prospect?

This thread is turning into seven flavors of stupid.

Again, nothing special about his offense above the big time playmakers he has to work with. No HC experience. That team is led by the defense and defensive coaching.

On a personal level I hate the drunk driving. Seen too many lives ruined by it. I think the only way Gruden gets an HC job is because of his brother and all the connections to BA, which means he's our guy. Maybe Cleveland would take a chance on him because it's such a shit franchise but even that I doubt.
