Who do you want as Head Coach in 2015 ?

[Perfect23]

You can puke all you want. He's consistently been the best offensive coach in football for well over a decade. Doesn't matter who his QB is, who his backs are, or who his receivers are. His QBs put up video game efficiency numbers and his running backs move the football. His offenses put points on the board. He hits the checkmarks that people in this thread want: balanced offensive attack, check. Strong commitment to running the football, check. Throwing the football downfield instead of rinky dink passes 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage, check. Can actually draw up a screen play that works, check.

And it's all because of his coaching, his offensive design, his gameplanning, and his play-calling. And we have a QB on the roster who would be perfect, absolutely perfect for his offense. It's the reason I had a temper tantrum in the off-season about hiring him.

He is Bizarro Joe Philbin.

I just feel that he had a lot of good teams in Houston in which Houston managed to have disappointing seasons I agree he's a good offensive coach but when it comes to being a head coach I'm not sure I'm sold.

You can make an argument that Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati is one of the worst head coaches in the NFL but the Bengals have been good the past couple of seasons because they have consistency in what they want to run they don't keep changing game plans and systems they have a balance.

Marvin Lewis is the reason that extremely talented team will never win anything. Why on earth would you want that scenario? I'd rather have an HC that is capable of getting us a Super Bowl than one who can take great talent, get some regular season wins, then **** all over himself. Philbin can't even do that.

He specializes in losing 14 games in a row.

I'll concede, that, but Matt Schaub's arm fell off and that team was wracked by injuries wasn't it?

I'm just saying, you want a guy who will turn this offense around, after 15 freaking years, that's your man. We're talking about a guy who literally got 1500 yards (5 yards per attempt) out of Mike Anderson. Mike. Anderson. People bitching about the QB's yards per attempt? Go look at the YPA of quarterbacks like Matt Schaub, Brian Griese, Jake Plummer, and John Elway -- with and without Gary Kubiak coaching them. In some cases, the difference is over 2 YPA.

There are good coaches, and there are bad coaches. Good coaches maximize their talent and find ways to make their players productive. We do not have a good coach right now.

You would take a proven scrub head coach over an unproven scrub coordinator??

Yeah how have the past 3 unproven coaches we hired as head coach turn out?

With what the Dolphins have been putting up with the past decade I will take what Cincinnati has any day of the week.

Wildcard losses over missing the playoffs by one game every year? You realize that there's really no difference, right?

I set the bar a little higher, in general.

Isn't there?

Cincinnati has a really good team and they're not poorly coached. Cincinnati's problem is that Andy Dalton can't make some throws, and when he's asked to mount a comeback or carry the team on his back, he just can't do it consistently and you wind up with him throwing pick-sixes on throws to the perimeter. We've seen this two years in a row when our own Dolphins played the Bengals. Coyle knows how to attack him and the Ravens (among others) have typically done a real good job of that, too.

It's funny that people have made fun of Mike Brown forever because he didn't have a scouting department, and indeed there are many things to ridicule about Mike Brown, but the talent he has acquired in the past several years certainly isn't one of them.

I think Gus Malzahn is a freaking mad scientist. I will take my chances with him.

He's my first choice. The problem is I expect him to become the coach of the Cowboys.

Harbaugh is my second -- and more likely -- choice, though I have great doubts about that, too. Ultimately I think either a return to the 49ers or taking the job with Michigan are more likely.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Ross is a "D" owner. He makes "D" hires, like Philbin. If he fires Philbin chances are he'll just hire another "D", beginning the process over again.

Nope. Mediocrity is mediocrity.

I'm more skeptical of Dan Quinn than most, apparently. Hiring "whoever is Seattle's defensive coordinator" because they play great defense strikes me as the same mentality that led to Philbin, and Cam Cameron before him.

And in this case we wouldn't even be getting the guy who built that defense -- that would be Gus Bradley, who's currently the head coach in Jacksonville -- we'd just be getting the guy who has led it for the last two years.

Not that I know how to pick them, either. There's just too many variables, mixed with voodoo. A guy can be the greatest coach in the world but a huge part of the job is being able to hire other great coaches to serve under you. That's almost impossible to gauge, yet I think it's perhaps Harbaugh's greatest talent and the main reason for his success in San Francisco: finding guys like Vic Fangio and Greg Roman when he was at Stanford and having the fortitude to hire them on when he got to the pros.

This is bad if we're talking about a HC replacement at the beginning of the season. It depresses me.
Never liked the Joe Philbin hire in the first place, wanted Mike McCoy as HC who is now with the Chargers.

Completely agree, which is why I am hoping ROSS is able to entice Harbaugh or a proven commodity with oodles of cash. I don't trust his judgement in selecting an unproven guy

I hope he able to entice him, too. But like I said, Ross is a "D". He'll bungle it, somehow, just as he seems to bungle everything. "D" owners do not make "A" hires.

So when three or four people have turned Ross down what will happen is he'll get desperate and hire a Dirk Koetter type and throw a bunch of **** in the air trying to rationalize it... which the majority of the fanbase will of course lap up like gospel.

Funny that you bring up Greg Roman. 49ers fans absolutely hate the guy.
