I'm guessing Lovie and his 4-3 defense is more likely. Big Sandy guy. He's been linked to the Cowboys ever since he took the Bears to the Superbowl.

If you're going to stick with the 3-4, might as well kept Ryan.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

Horton would be an interesting hire.

Kirby Smart is a name that would interest me.

Dan Quinn maybe.

Makes more sense than going after a guy under contract.

If the new HC wants to bring his own guy or wants a 4-3.

Lovie will get a head coaching job. Phili and Cleveland are both going to interview him and Arizona will also.

I have no doubt Lovie will get a lot of interviews, because he would satisfy the Rooney Rule and has the resume to not look like a blatant Rooney Rule token interview. But Lovie will be seen as a retread, and a boring vanilla retread at that. Anyone who isn't an offensive guy is always on the outside looking in for a Head Coaching job. Franchises want offense to draw fans to the stadiums, and Lovie's offenses were putrid every season in Chicago. Philly and Browns have talked to no one but offensive minded head coaches up to this point. That's what they want.

Definitely be interesting to see if they move to a new scheme.

4-3:

Hatcher/Crawford - Lissemore - Rat - Ware

? - Lee - Carter

I think the 4-3 is a better fit for Wilbur, maybe as a SOLB.

Still need to invest in DL though. That strong side end and DT rotation won't do it IMO.

I am just going to say this. I will not gripe if it is Ray Horton because he can flat out coach. But I am fairly sure it is Lovie Smith.

Default interesting....
I agree Horton can flat out coach....anyone that says different is either a moron or maybe Ray stole their girlfriend many years ago and they're butt hurt. HOWEVER, I got news for you boys: Lovie can FLAT OUT COACH TOO....yes he's a native Texan, and he's soft spoken but make no mistake he is a MAN and will command those guys attention from day one: and they will improve big time. He's one of the better defensive minds in the game: Tampa Two or not.

Roshi is right, the big time trend right now is offensive guys so I truly don't think he'll get a HC slot: I for one will be VERY excited if it's Lovie: we will have to pay and pay big but so what? It's JJ's money, so I couldn't care less about that. Lovie is my #1 choice guys: I live 3 hrs from Chicago and I'm VERY familiar with him: hes' the real deal in every way and the POLAR opposite of Rob Ryan's clown act. GREAT choice. O.Coordinator? worry about that tomorrow.....

I am HOPING for Lovie Smith. That would just thrill me.

For one thing, I like him as a man. Without having met him, he just seems like a genuine, decent, good man. It sounds silly, and the truth is, if he couldn't coach defense I wouldn't care...

Which brings me to the real reason. The guy can coach a defense. His teams always bring pressure, and they always create turnovers. I would love to see what he could do with the players here.

I don't think Rob deserved to get fired, but if we can replace him with Lovie Smith, then I'm perfectly OK with that.

Lovie is one of my favourite coaches.

Agree with IR. I don't see teams being geniunely interested in him, especially the teams that he's been speaking with.
