[Slim]

Honestly, we could have had Andy Reid last year. Damn shame,

 

[Hayden Fox]

Add any names that you think might be missing. The team needs a new leader of the men in the locker room. Plus, the culture has to change in South Florida.

 

[DisturbedShifty]

Didn't everyone want Zimmer really bad around here before we hired Philbin?

 

[SB Dreamer]

Cowher can be removed from the list...The guy is making a killing on TWC commercials and living the good life in NC. He is smart enough to know when he has it made and his family is always near...just like he wants to keep it.

Next....

I could have lived with Zimmer. I wanted McCoy. Let's see what happens this weekend...Joe vs. McCoy.

I wish your passion for Joe Philbin this week was directed towards Jeff Ireland.

You truthfully can't do threads like this until you fire your current GM and figure out who the new GM is and have him decide what coach best fits his strengths as a personnel evaluator.

 

[chrisjp]

Gruden and Cowher are not going to come here unless Ireland is gone. They will want full control of team. Well let's give it to them. This team has got to move in a new direction. Ireland has got to go and the loss last night should be the end of Ireland and Philbin show

Ain't it the truth. Look what he's done so far this year.

 

[Hayden Fox]

This is what I want in a coach, I need 4 out of 5 of these

1. A known leader of men.
2. Known of coaching up QB's OR they have a plan to bring in a staff that can improve QB play.
3. Experience as HC.
4. 3-4 guy...I think the team has major needs in many areas of the team (DB's and Oline) and the current personnel fits best in a 3-4.
5. Will put together a physical and blue collar team.
Very Early Short List

Mike Holmgren- Older, but I think he is hungry not to go out like he did in Cleveland. Leader. Great developer of QB's.
Lovie Smith- Leader of men. Classy. All he did was win in Chicago. Tampa 2 guy, but would be a score for the organization.
Norv Turner- Great developer of QB's. Dedicated to running the football. Offensive personnel match his design. Missing many other traits.
Ken Whisenhunt- Underrated coach. Has been to a Super Bowl. Good leader. Has nice offensive design.
Ray Horton- No experience, but he is a great leader. Players will play hard for him. 3-4 guy. Deserves a chance to be a HC.
Brian Kelly- He has moxie and arrogant edge to him. He has been in a pressure spot before. I am not sure I would go the college way. However, he is innovative and brings confidence to the sideline.

No doubt. The GM comes first and goes from there.

Lovie Smith or Rob Ryan

 

[Hayden Fox]

I do not want David Shaw because he is a Martin supporter. I like there physical style of play, but I cannot support Martin coming back.

 

[MRojas4]

Wouldn't mind Lovie Smith.

But end of the day, Ireland needs to go.

 

[Fin Thirteen]

We need a leader of men and an innovative gameplanner/playcaller.

Anything else is a bonus. I'd like to think we'd be prepared to look everywhere for that guy, including college. Brian Kelly is an interesting thought by the OP, but I'm no coaching evaluator. Unfortunately, neither is Ross.

Gruden would interest me as a GM rather than a coach, but I don't know if he'd be into that idea.

 

[Hayden Fox]

I cannot stand for firing Ireland and keeping Joe. It makes no sense.
