adam Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 With the news of the Rex Ryan firing, I was looking to see who the lead candidates would be for HC jobs going into next season. We may or may not retain Fox (still up in the air) after potentially our worst season since 1969, but I could see both sides of the argument. With previous HC experience: Tom Coughlin, 70 ys old, 170-150 regular season record, too old for long-term position? Rex Ryan, 54 yrs old, 61-65, seems to be more mouth than anything else Gus Bradley, 50 yrs old, 14-48, never did anything outside of Seattle Josh McDaniels, OC New England, 40 yrs old, 11-17, the Cutler of coaches, everyone seems to hate him Jim Schwartz, DC Philadelphia, 50 yrs old, 29-51, seems better suited for Coordinator role Coordinators: Kyle Shanahan, OC Atlanta, #1 scoring team in league, #2 in yards, I would not be opposed to him (especially if we retained Fangio) Sean McDermott, DC Carolina, 28th scoring defense, 22nd in yards, defense regressed big-time this year Matt Patricia, DC New England, #1 scoring defense, 8th in yards, defense has been dominant, but us Bill pulling strings, either way I would be interested Teryl Austin, DC Detroit, 13th in scoring defense, 15th in yards, average production, nothing special Darrell Bevell, OC Seattle, 20th scoring, 15th yards, should've just run Beastmode So out of those 10, I would say Shanahan or Patricia would be my top two candidates. Now, I know there are other candidates like McCoy in SD or Rivera in CAR, but they are still employed so I did not include them. What do you guys think?

Mongo3451 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'd prefer we keep the main portion of the staff intact. Despite the injuries and suspensions, we played hard and the youngsters grew. There is reason Pittsburg has had 3 coaches in 50 something years. They believe in a certain culture and it works. Our brass should take note and at least try to give Fox and Pace a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There not going to keep doing a carousel of HCs and GMs. They need to stabilize the regime and at least give it another year to find its place. We have a shitty record but our team was bare of talent when they took over. The Bills had players in place for Ryan and he didnt produce, so they got rid of him. Different set of circumstances.

jason Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Keep every coach not involved with health & fitness. If someone has a title _______ Coach, and that first word is strength, stretching, balance, or anything else related to fitness or health, fire their ass.

killakrzydav Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Fox won't be fired. Realistically, he knew the hand he was dealt and I think they brought him in for a long term build with some stability. It would be nice to keep Fandigo but as soon as we start winning, he will be plucked for a head coaching gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Dave Toub is who I want as the next head coach. He should have been hired instead of Dr. Death Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just reading up on him and forgot that he interviewed for the Miami HC job in 2011 but instead re-signed with Chicago. Then lost out to Trestman the following year. Talk about screwed.

bowlingtwig Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Adam Schefter is reporting today that Fox is not likely to be let go. So that should put all of this debate to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 If he is, it won't be as OC. Fox evidently retaining all of the main coordinators. Oline / RB coach are out along with an assistant RB coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
