2016 Coaching Data Base

I got to be honest that Coughlin interested me in some respects. However, looking at his body of work the last few years gives me pause. Plus, people rave about his presser leaving NY. I saw him leave his best player in the game after he lost his mind. Either TC kept him in to win the game and save his own ass or he did not know what was going on....neither is good.

I think it was he didn't really have a real grasp of the seriousness because he's not watching w the same angles we all see on tv and the constant replays. They replayed the helmet to helmet hit at least 10 times I almost turned it off.

But no one ever brings up the fact that OBJ was the reason they even had a chance in that game, and leaving him in IMO with the playoffs on the line, was the right call.

Not a good day for TC, OBJ, or the Giants in general but there was some redemption there and it was a close game at the end with the Giants playing for a playoff spot. You can't take him out , IMO. Talk to him, calm him down, but don't take out your absolute best player on the team unless the refs do it for you.

So how do you think the Dolphins did compared to the other team HC hires.

I wasn't a big Gase guy for our situation, but I think we ended up with a better hire than a lot of teams.

The Eagles are killing their hire (he would have been killed here too), Chip Kelly will be a disaster in SF (and would have been here too), Hue Jackson, not sure how that will pan out in Cleveland.

I would have preferred Hue over Gase here because of his HC experience, but who knows.

My top choice Shanahan didn't even gets shot with other teams... I still think he would have been a good fit here

How the he heck is Chip Kelly going to work in SF? They booted Harbaugh because he wanted too much power and was controlling. Chip is like double that. That will be a disaster

Shows you how weak the coaching candidate pool was this year.

And I'm sure his plan is to go in there and get rid of all their top players .. fortunately they don't have any so this just may work out :)

Thought they would wait for the NE staff to interview, however they may have said not interested in going to Detroit.

I don't think it's ever really that good tbh.

have to agree, I feel like I hear "weak class" virtually everytime we look for a coach or gm

Does Jackson have any ties to Coyle? I feel like they weren't in Cinci at the same time, though just guessing.

Surprised he'd even get a mention for a lateral move. Guy lost his locker-room, I dunno how you just do it all again somewhere else so soon after that.

Yeah, I wouldn't think anyone would hire him for DC, maybe DB coach with the Bengals.

In a radio interview, new Browns coach Hue Jackson said he is not planning to hire an offensive coordinator.
"Right now in my mind, I don't really plan on having an offensive coordinator," Jackson said, "because I want to reserve that right to call plays." Even when the head coach calls plays, teams will traditionally give the top assistant a coordinator title. The Browns are deviating far from tradition this offseason, so it is possible no coach is given the coordinator tag. Even so, Jackson will certainly bring in several coaches to assist on the offensive side. Ex-Colts OC Pep Hamilton was interviewed Friday and could be added with an assistant head coach title.
