Who's out there? I admit that I haven't given it much thought because I still don't believe that Jerry will part with his favorite red-headed stepson. At best, I am hoping Jerry gives Jason an office job (which he'd probably be far better at than coaching) so we can at least get a coach. But...who's going to want to coach this mess?
there are always candidates....I like
Schwartz DC from Philly. He failed as head coach once, but so did many others....but he always boasted good defenses....he is a 4-3 DC and he has an aggressive style. he may choose to keep Richards given they have similar aggressive defensive styles....I also think Gruden in DC might get fired at the end of the year, there is a lot of rumors. I like his offense. I like his passing scheme and he has lesser WRs than we do. He also likes to run the ball more than people think. he could be a good OC candidate.
I like Deflippo the OC from Minn as another option.
Also Schottenheimer could be another option. he is OC in seattle and has Wilson, although Wilson is much better QB than Dak, but they have similar styles.
David Shaw is an option, but I doubt if he leaves Stanford for a 3-4 year stint in dallas. he may want some place more secure and stable.
I don't like Jim Harbaugh....he is got a volatile personality and can't see him and Jerry getting along as they both want credit for everything....he will wear out his welcome quickly....
I doubt if Payton leaves NO, regardless of money or draft picks....he needs a QB to run his system and Dak ain't it.....and we have no first round pick to chase a QB in draft.
there is and outside chance for Norv Turner, his last shot at HC job, but his system requires a QB that can pass from the pocket and Dak ain't it....
