It is clearly evident that Schott is a dead man walking, outside of a collapse by the Giants and the Cowboys turning it completely around, the franchise will be looking for the team's next head coach in the offseason. My question is, what type of Head Coach should they target:

-Disciplinary CEO Type: ex Mike Tomlin
-Defensive Coordinator promotion: ex Flores
-Young inexperience, rising offensive: ex Kubiak 49ers
-Retread experienced HC with a successful track record: McDermott

Tomlin is a disaster
Never gonna get Flores
Mcdermott was not a good HC IMO

I would go with a disciplinarian who can do 4 things: keep Jerry out, get Dak to listen and learn, build a top 5 run game and a top 10 defense

I cant think of anyone except Payton who fits the bill and he ain’t available

So we will get another pencil pusher if Schotty goes (and he may not)

Jim Harbaugh fits what you are seeking if the Chargers move on from him.

Blue, you just hit the nail on the head in just 5 words. I can bet if they included legit highlights to go along with the name dropping, there wouldn't be as much name dropping because they would see there's a reason these coaches either don't have a job or are stuck at the college level.

I also see a coach with zero wins this year, even with Herbert and whatever top talent you want to plug in. We don’t need a retread.

We could have kept Mike McCarthy, who has the same record as both Harbaughs.

If you want to compare overall career records, it’s clear we shouldn’t have let McCarthy go. If patience isn’t on the table to let these two grow together, this team isn’t built for instant success. The defense had to be rebuilt in year two, so Brian Schottenheimer deserves some leeway, he’s been handed a mess.

Meanwhile, what’s the excuse over in San Diego? Lack of talent? Poor execution? Remember, the head coach is responsible for all assistants, positional coaches, player personnel, and on-field execution.

Do we really want someone who can’t win in the NFL, especially one who left because of losing? Yes, he had college success, but his departure from Michigan suggests there were serious concerns there.

About this We can bring Bill Belichick over here, the guy who can't even get to North Carolina. Team A college team going with excessive amounts of. Talent. I mean, you have 90 plus players in college. You got the player portal, you can pay people now.

You don't really want to do this with me, because you're going to lose.


You want a retread, a big name, even though they’re washed up and currently accomplishing nothing.

Look at Liam Cohen: he had no name, was in a better situation, and is doing well with the Jaguars. That’s the kind of opportunity Brian Schottenheimer never received, dealing with poor defensive coordinators, injuries, and weak defenses.

So, tell me, how is it different for a coach I’ve never heard of who spent just one year as

. Liam Cohen had no name, and Ben Johnson was just an assistant with limited credibility.

Yet, both Harbaughs started with modest roles, one as a low-level special teams coach, and still built successful careers.

Every team has taken chances on lesser-known coaches, and many well-known names from college like Bobby Petrino, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, and Chip Kelly have failed at the professional level.

The point is clear: we do not need an established coach if that coach is not proven to succeed.
.
You take the same risk whether it's somebody new. Like the Jaguars did. Like the Cowboys are trying to do. Or the retreads, who also are failures as much as they are. Successful. You can't live in the past. I can tell you this, I'm going to finish this, and if you ever got down to this far, which I don't think you did. There's no way. That either Harbaugh would have been better off. Here than Schottenheimer was given the circumstances that we know what the circumstances are.
