Who Do You Want to Be The Head Coach?

[WillH]

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. Not that I couldn't get behind a Defensive coach.

I actually wouldn't mind if Gregg Williams came back as the D coordinator. having a top 10 defense three years out of the four he was here for isnt bad.

Where's Al Saunders these days?

From the list, which is quite uninspiring, I'd go with (in order of preference) McDermott, Fewell, Bevell, Caldwell.

McDermott-Pros: Learned under Andy Reid and Jim Johnson, two highly regarded coaches on structure and organization. Lots of history in the NFCE. Aggressive but disciplined defense. Defenses have had an upward trajectory each year the past few years.
Cons: Never been a head coach at any level. Unsure of offensive philosophy and who his OC would be (maybe Chudzinski). Is he ready or the next Spagnuolo?

Fewell-Pros: Head coaching (interim) experience. 3-4 and 4-3 scheme experience. NFCE experience.
Cons: Uneven performances with his defenses. Doesn't scream leader by his demeanor.

Bevell- Pros: Decent history with Favre and Wilson. Run based which fits our personnel but not afraid to throw. Experience with a mobile QB.
Cons: Have you actually WATCHED Seattle on offense? They get big plays from Lynch and lots of improv plays from Wilson but their 'scheduled' passing plays are pedestrian. Rankings have been middling, high teens, for most of his career. Leadership questions and he was fired just two years ago as an OC in Minnesota. Do we think he's turned it around that much?

Caldwell- Pros: Excellent QB coach. Would probably be the best mentor for RG3 of this group. Has worked with some great QB so he could impart some wisdom from them.
Cons: pretty much everything else. Doesn't seem like a great leader. Don't know about his overall team management skills. I'm sure he's a great football man but I don't know if he's what we need right now.

Jim Caldwell was 3 years as a Head Coach and finish 26-22. He was 2-14 in a year without Payton Manning. He is a good coach.

Paintrain- I will continue to pound my fist for Russ Grimm until he is eliminated from contention by Bruce Allen like Bill Cowher was today.

Wait...in the year he didn't have one of the top 3 QBs ever he lost 14 games. What about his record shows he was any good?

The part where he built his team around one player, then when that player couldn't play he didn't have any backup plan and it ended up costing him his job. I'm not very high on Caldwell either.

IMO your idea of having C.H.U.D. as an OC is a good one. He did well with Cam Newton; you'd think that he would be great with Griff.

Bevell... youtube his name theres two interviews with him if yall are researching

Jay Gruden:
- was OC under HC Jim Haslett for the Florida Tuskers of the UFL
- when Haslett came to DC, Gruden became HC of the Tuskers. The Tuskers had Joe Theismann as an owner.
- the Tuskers then moved to become the Virginia Destroyers, whose GM was Doug Williams.

Are these omens that Jay Gruden is destined for D.C.?

As a G Williams apologist:

He's easily, far and away the most accomplished/successful defensive coach of all potential coaching candidates. He produces top defenses without tons of talent. Apart from Sean and London he didn't have elite talent in DC. Same with the saints. As a comparison that Mcdermitt fellow has more talent on his defense than Williams ever had, probably by a long way, and Carolina isn't any better on D than anything Williams put together.

His HC experience was much like Belichick's first HC gig. Lousy team/franchise. But that experience is valuable.

He's been all the way through the playoffs and won a SB. His defense won that SB as much as the saints offense. Again, great experience.

He's a bad motherfucker. The bounty thing is a lame ass excuse. They've reportedly gone on for ages. And you know Williams will do everything above board from now on.

But the bottom line is he's a leader. His players respect him and actually show it on the field by busting their asses.

The problem with bringing him on as DC only is he's likely to overshadow the HC IMO. Based on experience, leadership and the way players respond.

What coach would have done any better with no Manning that year? The Colts were totally built around him.
