If you could have one current head coach

[cowboyfan4life2]

To piggy back off of the If you could trade for one player thread, if you could have any of the other 31 head coaches to replace Carrot top, who would you pick? I am going with Jim Harbaugh.

Which ever one could convince Jerry to hire a General Manager.

Is Jerry still the GM?

With Jerry as the GM, Garrett is the best option. A higher profile head coach would cause Jerry need more attention and result in a Roy Williams or Joey Galloway trade.

Belichick would win 11-12 games a year with this same roster. I think he is in a class by himself. I think jim Harbaugh 2nd.

Yes, Jerry isn't selling the team, but he gets desperate like he did when he hired parcells.

Just stay with Garrett. He has the best chance of making it work with Jerry. Even with Parcells, Jerry had to sign TO to feel like he was involved.

He is an awful coach, Harbaugh and Jerry might clash, but who cares, at least he would win games.

 

[Setackin]

Belichick.

 

[The Natural]

Pete Carroll

 

[AKATheRake]

Sean Payton with or without Jeremiah.

He knows how to win with our old coaches and players, which we couldn't.

He's also the guy that wanted Romo when he was here and when he left to NWO.

That tells me something.

He's really not. Harbaugh with this team over this run would very likely be getting a similar treatment from our fans. Perhaps he'd have fared better defensively, but I have a hard time imagining that given that our players who were inherited underperformed their contracts on that side of the ball due to either age or injury fairly significantly the last two seasons. Our fans won't look past the lack of playoffs.

That said, Harbaugh and Kelly would be my two favorite coaches on the market for a generic franchise. For the Cowboys with Jerry, it's a lot tougher. Garrett's a good temperament fit. It's not easy coming up with personalities that wouldn't conflict here. Sean Payton might work, since we know him. I think Zimmer's going to be a pretty good coach in Minny, and he'd work here. John Fox, maybe?

 

[ChooChoo73]

Tomlin.

 

[Risen Star]

Sean Payton. The guy that left here to the applause of the fan base.

 

[StarMan2112]

Belichick. The Pats are what we were in the 70s... 11 or 12 wins and the playoffs were a given.

 

[BHendri5]

Garrett

 

[Aven8]

Belichek, Carroll, Harbaugh, 2nd Harbaugh, Andy Reid, Arians, Tomlin, Coughlin.......it's a long list.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

Garrett

with a 20 yr contract?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

LOL. Some good replies in this thread.

Pretty funny to suggest that somehow because of Jerry, a poor coach is better for us than a good coach.

 

[visionary]

Bellichick
Harbaugh
Sean Peyton
Carroll

And 27 other HC s over Garrett

That's the list I'd go with, also Andy Reid would be near the top as well(after those guys), even though he was an Eagle he's a helluva coach.
