No to McDaniels, didn't he failed outside of NE?

I do want a defensive minded coach though. I rather get Spagnulo from NY over McDaniels.

But we need to let a new HC interview for all his own staff. none of this...here are your coaches already here crap.

Patriots coaching tree have been failures.

I’d go with Pat Shurmur - Minnesota OC. He’s done well regardless of who the QBs or RBs are, and won 4 and 5 games as Cleveland HC in 2011/2012, which is like winning at least 10 games anywhere else.

How about Gregg Williams and Jerry kicks in big money to the bounty pot? That will solve any fan thoughts about the team being soft.

I would talk with Jim Schwartz, always a real good defense cordinator, but needs to be paired with a good OC. If he could bring in highly respected OC, it might be interesting. Kinda like the idea of previous HC who failed and learned from his experience. ALA Billicheat

Jim Scwhartz HC/DC and Alex Van Pelt as OC. Plus Schwartz would have key insight to a Division foe.

Jim Harbaugh , but Jerry would have to locked in a nursing home where he couldn't interfere.

I am amongst the first to throw the HC, OC and DC under the bus and am also amongst the first to admit I am not sure who I would want to replace them just yet; but, here are some suggestions (just throwing names against the wall to see what sticks)

Currently a Head Coach
* Sean Payton (NO) - sure, he isn't available, but I thought I saw somewhere else in the Zone that NO may be ready to move on - can't personally see that as they are a top 3 team in the NFC right now, but who knows - would be thrilled to see the press conference where he addresses the media the first time as a Cowboy - I think players would WANT to come to Dallas if he were there
* David Shaw (HC for Stanford) - I always liked this guys style; his teams are always competitive - bring him in as HC and get the right coordinators and this team moves


Currently an OC:
* Matt Cavanaugh (Wash): they have ZERO receivers, their best player (TE) is always hurt, their RB's are by committee and yet, they score and/or are in games - Cousins would suffer without him, IMO - not sure if I would want as a HC, but wouldn't be upset either
* Not sure if it is Mike Gundy (HC) or Mike Yurich calling the plays for Oklahoma St, but they are averaging 47/pts game...take a peak...you see them get behind in a game and then all of a sudden, you blink and they have 40

Currently a DC:
* Matt Eberfuls (one of our own, I think his development has gone on long enough, could see him moving on otherwise) - I could see him as our DC, not a head coach
* Todd Walsh (DC from Jax) - geez, look what those guys are doing with a little talent - they are all over their opponents and turn the ball over - exciting unit to watch
* Wade Phillips (only as a DC) - he made monkeys of Dallas in the Rams game...exposed them for all to see; he makes adjustments!



so, gimme Shaw as the HC with Cavanaugh as the OC and Walsh as the DC? I would be happy....and promote Eberfuls to asst dc (whatever that is called - 2nd in charge for the defense)

Jim Harbaugh.. but he will never come here. Jerry wouldn't let him run the team like he needs to. We have had 21 years with no success for a reason. That reason is Jerry and his ridiculous ego. Don't expect any changes that will result in this team winning anything until he is gone. Then pray Stephen's ego isn't as big as his dads.
