Twitter: Gil Brandt has Kris Richard on his short list of head coaching candidates

[Doomsay]

Makes me think Richard will be fired in short order.

Richard will be our DC next year if he doesn’t get a head coaching job elsewhere. With our luck Richard gets a HC job and Jerry fires Ginger after next season and Richard goes on to be a great one.

Yeah weird choice for #1. I would not be interested. If I'm making a coaching change there is only one candidate I'm interested in if he's willing to come here - John Garrett.

Sad but if JG ever gets fired you’ll never see him on a list like this. It even on a collegiate list of replacement head coaches. ESPN prob wouldn’t even hire him for commentator. I figure JJ will put him in a back office somewhere and hook up his computer monitor to Madden 24/7

 

[Hardline]

It baffles me how and why so many people think Riley would leave OU where he has power to a place he has little to none

Only a fool would leave a big time college program to come here.
A lot of division I college head coaches make the same money NFL coaches do

Harbaugh. Baltimore Ravens.

Harbaugh was a ST coach for several years and 1 year as the DB coach. Then he got the HC position in Baltimore.

haha intentionally left the bit about Garrett in there...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harbaugh

In 2007, after serving as Eagles' special-teams coach for nine years, he became their defensive-backs coach. This fulfilled his request to head coach Reid and improved his chances of landing a head coaching job, since executives at that time viewed special teams coaches as unqualified to move up to head coach.

On January 19, 2008, Harbaugh was appointed the third-ever head coach of the Baltimore Ravens after Jason Garrett, the team's first choice, decided to stay with the Dallas Cowboys after receiving a raise and a promotion to assistant head coach.

Most new successful hc's have been offensive minded. Shanahan, Peterson and mcvay. Brandt's list includes a lot of defensive minded guys. He should rethink his drafts of the 80's.

 

[Floatyworm]

Good...our secondary has been a train wreck. DBs can't find the football...and we got...what??? 4 INTs as a team...Pathetic

 

[Captain43Crash]

Andy Reid did it. And looking at him there's no way it was that big of a jump.

Funny! About a 10” Jump.

 

[FTWayne]

A special teams coach is #2 on his list? Wow. Never seen that before........thats a big jump up.

Well I seen a couple quarterback coaches get the job.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I'm guessing if there's more than a few head coach openings, we could very lose him ( of course unless Jerry makes the move).

Eberflus is a credible HC candidate.
And Eberflus is gone.
This is not mere coincidence.

Note that neither of our coordinators make the short list either. That also is not a mere coincidence.

I wonder how Garrett will give Richard the shiv.

 

[Mobinvans]

I would be so angry if Kris got stolen and we got stuck with Garrett

 

[Captain43Crash]

I want a defensive minded coach. Great defenses almost always beat great offenses. Richard! Richard! Richard!

 

[Melonfeud]

I'm guessing if there's more than a few head coach openings, we could very lose him ( of course unless Jerry makes the move).

Why does the name Eberflus hauntingly dance just beyond my mental grasp?,,,strange.

I hope it happens. We deserve all of the misery. Jerry isn’t about winning, period

Not true. They might hire him as the lead male cheerleader during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

Jim Schwartz?

No thanks.

That’s what I was thinking.
Richards and Riley are the only two that didn’t make me throw up in my mouth a little

 

[Carter]

This list is terrible.

 

[LatinMind]

A special teams coach is #2 on his list? Wow. Never seen that before........thats a big jump up.

john harbaugh

 

[atlantacowboy]

john harbaugh

He had both special teams and defensive backs coach titles simultaneously. We've seen DB coaches make the jump. I'm talking about a guy whose specialty is special teams. Since 2001, Dave Taub has never been anything in the NFL but a special teams coach........his resume' looks nothing like harbaugh's. I have no idea why he's on Tex's list.
