Would you want Saban or Sumlin

[daynje]

Neither. My pick would be Bill O'Brien from Penn State. Even then I'm not too sure he is ready for the NFL. Love what he has done in Happy Valley though.

 

[AKATheRake]

Jimmy Johnson as GM and whoever he wants to be HC.

Would never happen though.

Absolutely no to Saban. We have him to thank for introducing Boy Wonder to the NFL.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

Sumlin is not ready, Shaw from Stanford needs more seasoning.

.

This is comical coming from a Garrett defender. Sumlin has been coaching since 88. You know, about 15 years longer than Boy Wonder. Shaw since 95. Oh yeah, but they arent 'experienced' enough. Good grief Charlie Brown.

 

[The Natural]

Lovie? are you serious? Then you want to go another 15/17 yrs of nothing.

How many playoff games and superbowls has Garrett coached in? Oh ok

 

[Risen Star]

Saban is never leaving Alabama.

He's going to get a 70 foot golden statue of himself in the center of that school when his days are done.

It just depends on if he wants another shot at winning at the highest level of football. Alabama can't offer him that.

Not that I want or expect it to happen but Dan Quinn DC Seattle.

Great choice. Great defensive coaches seem to do well IF paired with established quality QB play, and his scheme is similar in structure but summarily different than Kiffin's. Especially at the back end.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

IF, and that's a big IF, the Cowboys struggle the rest of the way and Garrett is forced to be gone, would you want Jerry to replace him with Saban or Sumlin?

Saban would bring credibility but he's Garretts friend so he might not want to come.

Sumlin wouldn't be the best football coach but he'd at least be entertaining. It's better to be entertaining and not be great, than .500 and boring.

I know this is just a fantasy post, but I will bite:

Well, let's see: Saban has a bunch of national championships and another on the way.
Sumlin has squat. And what he has achieved can be credited to Johnny Loose Canonball.

Saban has a great college pedigree (figurateively and literally)
Sumlin coached the (always dangerous) Houston Cougars

Gee. A difficult sophie's choice.

SABAN!

Saban was a failure and a liar as an NFL HC why his name comes up is beyond me.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Jimmy Johnson as GM and whoever he wants to be HC.

Would never happen though.

Right. Jimmy said on A FOOTBALL LIFE he was retired other than the TV gig. He's loving his life deep,sea fishing & entertaining his friends.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Gruden is no retread...He's the one I want.

 

[BHendri5]

Gruden is no retread...He's the one I want.

Gruden is a retread, he has been to 2 different organizations as the HC. Oh, and got booted out of both. Gruden causes a lot of drama. Organizations get tired of him very quickly.

 

[landroverking]

Sumlim next stop USC.

 

[Zordon]

Sumlin's been coaching since 88. I'd give him the job right now as long as he brings johnny too.

 

[WoodysGirl]

There is no guarantee but he might get lucky like he did with jimmy

He and Jimmy were friends and Jimmy was a VERY successful college coach. His hire was a bit of a no-brainer.

Because he is a great football coach. And his teams play relentlessly for 4 quarters every game. He's a winner. His temperment is better suited for college tho

 

[ChooChoo73]

Neither. I would want someone that Jerry is at least slightly uncomfortable meddling with which means I will never get who I want because Jerry won't go Big Tuna again. The season does need to play out but it's justifiable to expect we will be in the coaching market again. Personally, I think we will be 6-10 or 7-9, I will want a coaching change, and Jerry will double down on Garrett
