If you could offer a 10 year contract to a head coach, who would it be?
There are some on here who believe that stability is what is needed (I do as well).
What young and upcoming coach would you offer the contract to?

Marvin Lewis
He is very talented coach, and i really like what he has done to the Bengals organization in his time there. He will be very successful in years to come
Marvin Lewis= Coach of the Dallas Cowboys:)

I said in another thread the young coach I would watch is Mike Shula. He just seems to have that little something that makes winners. Look what he's done in Bama with little talent the past couple years due to NCAA MOB sanctions which limited the number of scholarships they had and kept them out of bowl games for a few years. These two small things really limited what they could do. But look he's had consistantly strong D's and very well balanced O's. I just have this feeling he will be a very good NFL coach in a few years.

10 years is a long time but give me Troy Aikman.
I know it sounds silly but the guy is just flat out smart, knows football and most importantly knows what it takes to win. He'd be a hell of a disciplinarian and motivator and I bet an awesome offensive mind.

A guy no one is talking about but people will is Ron Rivera the DC at Chicago.
gary kubiak
gary patterson
rich rodriguez
art briles
urban meyer
les miles
i also think moose johnston would be a great coach.

Lovie Smith.
The dude has crap at QB (although their OL is awesome. Yes... Awesome) but he gets his team in the playoffs and with a first round bye.
Their schedule was easy though so we'll see if their for real or not in a couple of weeks.

My first choice would definitely be Bill Parcells.
But 10 years at his age is highly unlikely.
Marvin Lewis is a good one.
Jimmy Johnson, of course.
Holmgren's good, as well.
I like Mariucci alot, also.
and Nick Saban (Al Pacino) peaks my interest.

I would of picked Parcells too, but he said "young coach" so that obviously disqualifies him.
I like Saban too. Either him or Lovie Smith. Can't believe you don't have Smith on your list.

Nick Saban...dont' know if any of you saw that bit they ran on him on CBS on Sunday, but I came out very impressed. He's going to be one heck of a coach in the NFL.

He runs somewhat of a gimmick offense at Houston. Yeah, it gains a lot of yards and scores a lot of points, but if you figure out how to stop it, its very easy to beat them. It wouldnt work at the NFL level, as the NFL has better athletes who could stop his offense.
Kind of like Texas Tech and Mike Leach's offense, though his is a very blatant gimmick.

Neither has Parcells in Dallas. Holmgren is probably about to change that since he's locked down homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Parcells is doing what exactly? Oh that's right, deciding if he's going to retire with his barely .500 record.

Why you bring up parcells? Im not stuck on his jock either. No playoffs wins in 7 years there sounds pretty sad to me as opposed to none in 3 years.

Briles was RB coach at Tech. I'm sure he copied some things from Leach.

These guys are getting paid millions of dollars to play football. They better be able to get up for a game themselves. However, it would be nice to see a guy who could get them up for a meaningless game, like ours against St. Louis...

Because he's the coach of the Cowboys. If Holmgren wins a Superbowl this year will that make him a good coach in your eyes?
The post asked a question, I answered it. Nobody is on anyone's "jock".

you're right that when it all comes down to it....it's the players that play the game.
but a good coach makes those players want to go out there and perform to the best of their abilities.
parcells is not that coach..jmo.

There are people around here that are stuck on parcells jock like white on rice and I thought you figured I was too by bringing up parcells. Parcells is irrelevant to this topic!
And if holmgren wins a superbowl this year (which he wont do) my opinion of him would not change one bit...

You know, I was thinking about Troy as a HC myself.

I realize he's still a longway off, but I bet Peyton Manning will be a great head coach once he's done with football. The guy knows the game, and after a few years as an assistant, I would be willing to give him a long-term deal to coach my team.

Gary Kubiak of Denver in my opinion is a guy who I think would make an excellent HC.

You gotta love Marvin Lewis and what he has done with the bengals.
Mike Nolan kind of interests me a little...I know the 49ers have a terrible record but the few times I have got to see them play they have really played hard when they could have packed it in early...might see what he does within the next couple of seasons.
Gotta Love what Lovie Smith has done...he has been a great DC and now seems like he has the bears on track...however I would like to see the bears do well for two seasons in a row...they had a good season a few years back only to fall again.
Nick Saban...I think that is a given.
Charlie Weiss
I kind of like Jack Del Rio from Jax.
John Fox of Carolina is interesting.
However I guess one could argue that none of the names listed are really young with the exception of a couple.
Now the coach of Iowa...I am not sure, he seems to do well in a tough conference and probably does not come close to the recruiting power of a Michigan, Penn State or Ohio state so it would be curious to see what he could do with an NFL team.
I am a HUGE WVU homer and love Rich Rodriquez...however the ONLY way I would have him as a head coach is if he brought an OC that does not run the offense Rich runs at WVU.
Trust me people would be screaming bloddy murder if he brought that offense and especially the QBs he would use who only run the ball.

Bill Belichek
Russ Grimm(my guess is he'll make a good NFL HC)
