IF...we change coaches...

[ajk23az]

The defensive cooridinator for the bears (Rivera), dont know his first name though.............cliche time......."Defense wins championships"

 

[Oh_Canada]

If Rob Ryan would cut his hair....he would be a nice option. The guy has made the Raiders defense respectable.....than again, he is a Ryan.

Dom Capers?

He is a young guy which I like and has a precense. Good option as well.

He would be an excellent choice or even Mike Singletary although i would love him more as our DC!!! just about anyone else than the clowns we have as coaches here!!!

Who will we have to compete with and is there a current HC that might come avl. that you would want?

Atlanta/Mora
Miami/Saban (He could leave for the Alabama gig)
Jacksonville/DelRio (I don't expect him to leave just yet)
Cleveland/Cornell (sp)
Pittsburgh/Cowher (I hope this could come true since Fisher is staying)
Tampa Bay/Gruden
Oakland/Shell
Giants/Coughlin
Arizona/Green

Counting the Cowboys, that could be ten teams looking for HC's next year.

And please don't tell me that we would hire from within.

None of the listed choices except MAYBE Cowher or Gruden.

If Cowher leaves Pittsburgh I think its a given he takes at least a year off, maybe two, so fugghetaboutit.

I think Gruden will still be in TB next year and he'd be probably 4-5th on my list, maybe lower. He can come in and light a fire under this team's @$$ and can do wonders with inherited talent, but I'm still iffy on him.

My choices:

1. Jimmy Johnson (and then we woke up...)
2. Jeff Fisher - no chance for '07, and I'm sure Tenn will lock him up with a nice extension before he hits the market. But I would absolutely be climbing the walls with excitement if we could land him.
3. Sean Payton - yep, we whiffed on that one, huh?
4. Charlie Weis - I think Jerry has the cash and the clout to lure him away from ND. Only other contender would be NYG. Our offense would be SICK if he came in, and he'd bring in great assistants.
5. Denny Green - just seeing if you're paying attention
I really don't know who else I'd want....I'm not sold on too many college coaches other than Weis, who has NFL experience. Stoops? Maybe, but no one knows how he'll pan out. Pete Carroll? Good lord, NO!!!!

I've always been a Parcells fan even since his NYG days, but even I admit...time to move on. *IF* we finally fire Zimmer, he could be great again in '07, but I've lost all confidence in him.

EDIT: I'd love to see Crennel or Singletary as DC, whether Parcells stays or we have a new HC.

 

[Deputy493]

I'm telling you guys, if Tuna goes, Norv Turner will be on Jerrah's list.

 

[zeromaster]

Chan Gailey is available in Georgia and Dave campo would probably like a promotion from Jacksonville.

:laugh2:

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?

I was also wondering that if/when Zimmer goes and if Parcells did stay, would the replacement be a 3-4 or 4-3 DC?

 

[Cajuncowboy]

My list of three...

Jimmy Johnson (our old coach..pipedream)

Bob Stoops

John Gruden

I do like the idea of Mike Singletary as the DC as well.

Do you think that Jimmy will be as good if that happened considering the Miami gig?

Man, just think Jimmy as HC, Norv as OC and Singletary as DC!

 

[panchucko]

A few names that don't get talked about on this forum, but could possibly happen.

1. Norv Turner, history with Jerry.
2. Mike Martz, I thought Jerry wanted him, until he was promised the job once Vermile left.
3. Gregg Williams, just to spite the Munchkin, plus he is a defensive guy.

I know everyone is dreaming of Miles, Stoops, Cowher and others, but I think these picks are realists.

Not as good as he was before but you don't have to be THAT good in a leage that lets 8-8 teams into the playoffs.

I think he wouldn't coach afraid like Parcells does. JJ would go after the juglar ever chance he could. AND he would use TO more like he used Irvin.

 

[Aikbach]

Les Miles, Mike Singletary for DC. I rest my case, make it happen Jo Jo.

Never thought of Williams. Wonder what his offensive thoughts would be (OC)?

If he kept him. He is on record as saying that he would let TO go and even told Jerry that.

other than I already mentioned Norv twice in this thread

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Maybe, but I think he could handle him better and use him better.

Now the off field stuff is another issue.

Though that said, I don't think TO has been that much of a distraction. Kinda minor to what we all expected.

 

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Very true considering Jimmy gives his "stars" special treatment. Might be the best marriage in football.

 

[kingwhicker]

I wouldn't mind Miles or Ferentz. Stoops I'm wishy washy on. Ron Rivera, Russ Grimm, Norm Chow those would be about all I'd want from the NFL-maybe Del Rio, maybe Cowher. Weis & Jimmy are pipe dreams.

 

[Aikbach]

You know Norv Turner along side a good DC such as Mike Singeltary might be a good thing.

Pillage the Niner staff.
