What is the other front office position that they might be looking to fill besides President? I think we can figure Shanahan will want the HC/President position. Is it the head of scouting or some other position?

I hope whoever comes in picks up better talent scouts and better positional coach's (cough, WR coach, cough).

Kubiac is a head coach and that wont change unless he is fired and the other guys work for him so it might be difficult to get them

Well reports are the Texans are not doing well and the owner is not happy with the situation there either.

I think we can all agree Shanahan would bring in his son who is currently working for the Texans as their OC.

If the Texans deside to let Kubiac go cause they are not happy with his performance, which is what I keep hearing, Kubiac would be available. He might not want to take a step down but if he was happy working with Shanahan previously then I could see him coming in.

As far as Alex Gibbs, I'm not sure if or when his contract ends or if he can even say he resigns his position and can come to the Skins. But if the Texans blow up what they have and look to hire a new HC then I would like to think Shanahan will make a play for him.

Reports are Shanahan has been calling around trying to essemble a coaching staff. I wonder who he's talked to as his positions coach's. Has he made contact with any of his old staff, his son, Kubiac, Alex Gibbs?

I would think we could get any of them that want to come here. Give them some big title and more $. This isn't $nyder's first rodeo.

Ehh I don't know about this this is a distraction, And for all those that don't think campbell will be back....I think if we win out (and their is a chance we could) San Diego will have nothing to play for that last week I'm gonna predict if Campbell puts up numbers like he did against the saints against New york this weekend he will be given a contract extension

(and I'm gonna be in SD btw for that game too)

Did Shanny run a 4-3 system or 3-4?

I wouldn't mind if Zorn would stay on as QB coach/Campbell mentor. I doubt he's accept such a demotion, but he has done well with JC despite his overall failure.

i would mind if he stayed as a qb coach, what has he done well with jc? jc is still jc pretty much the same through out the season, if anything improved it was after sherw lewis got here, i wouldn't really credit zorn with anything this year except terrible play calling

Campbell's game and fundamentals have improved. Zorn wouldn't be calling plays as QB coach. Zorn knows how to play the position.

doesn't mean he can coach though, i used to think zorn was gettin burned for no reason but the better we get with the less control he has i don't see any need for him

and people like to say he is a great qb coach for what he did with hassebeck, and imo hasselbeck isn't even that good now if we were talking about grooming brady, or brees it would be a different story

Well Sherm does not even talk to JC so I'm guessing durn the week its Zorn getting the team ready for what ever scheme they are using against the other team. I would say the only thing Zorn is doing differently now is he is just not calling the plays but like others have said not all coaches call the plays. Who was calling the plays for Gibbs before the 700 page game book came to town?

Given the Report:Shanahan to DC a done deal I suppose this outdated thread could be closed, right?
