Coaching Changes

If we're going to replace any coaches, I'd look first at Bob Slowik and Steve Jackson. I know you can only do so much with the the talent in front of you, but our secondary was terrible all year.

This move is absolutely imperative for Shanny and FO to make, I believe. We cannot compete in shoot-out game with our offense, we need to slow down opponents' passing game, in order for us to stay competitive in games.

So what's the latest on Bill Cowher? Haven't heard his name in a while.

Another guy who I think should get a look as a HC is Mike Zimmer. I saw they were mentioning him on SC earlier this morning. He's a damn good coach and a hell of a man. His players would lay in traffic for him, too. I know all the talk is about Dalton/AJ Green, but that team isn't in the playoffs without Zimmer's D.

I listen to SiriusXM NFL radio all the time and the guys who host are close with Cowher. They say he said he is not coming back to coach this year. End of story.

The Dolphins reached out to him, apparently with a pretty sick offer. And yeah, he said no dice. Same for Gruden

Feel bad about omitting Zimmer in my list of head coaching candidates in another thread. He's well cut out for that kind of promotion, something that not many defensive guys are. He's kind of like Mike Smith or Lovie Smith: has the mind to be an asset head coach.

My thing with defensive head coaches is that they tend to be too hands off with the offense. It's not like you want them calling plays for you on offense, but it's impossible to manage the game really well without being involved in the offensive game plan and the execution of it.

Love Zimmer. He was one funny, hard nosed SOB on Hard Knocks.
