COACH CAROUSEL | Page 76 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Hi guys. This is gonna be my first thread made on site. And I have to say there are many coaches on the hot seat and few of them are official done for next season while others are playing for their job for remainder of the season. I'll bring my candidates to be axed and their possible replacements and how they fit on those teams for next offseason. JASON GARRETT - COLTS O.C. BRUCE ARIANS. I have Arians as Cowboys Head Coach replacing Garrett over a huge list of candidates like Jon Gruden, Bill Cohwer, Mike Holmgren and Mike Sherman because all of those coaches had control or least made choices to choose their own personnel and that's something Jones will never let to do cuz his pride is humongous that he rathers let a 2nd or 3rd tier coach tries to survive on his terms than let an elite coach boss him around. But on Arians's favor, He is a proven coordinator and groomed Peyton Manning and Big Ben when they were rookies and has done an excellent job taking control of Colts team while Pagano is absent. He might be last hope for Romo to take him for next step on his career. ANDY REID - TEXANS D.C. WADE PHILLIPS. Many fans have Jon or Jay Gruden as possible candidates for Eagles coach spot but I saw them somewhere else, so my guess is Wade Phillips's gonna be the coach and rebuild the defense by switching to 3-4 scheme and most of roster fit in with Cullen Jenkins and Fletcher Cox as DL, Trent Cole and Vincent Curry as pass rushers plus Demeco Ryans and Michael Kendricks as ILBs with only spot left at NT filled on draft possibly Star Lotulelei or Jonathan Hankins. Meanwhile on offensive side, Eagles could hire Rod Chudzinski as O.C. for grooming young Nick Foles as starting QB. RON RIVERA - 49ERS O.C. GREG ROMAN (I know what you think but unfortunately this is gonna be unavoidable) Jerry Richardson had already told he won't hire big fishes like Holgrem, Gruden or Cowher after sour taste given by Seifert. Many fans would think about promoting Chudzinski as head coach but after how Cam fail on his expectations on sophomore season, another point of view is needed. "The Mad Doctor" has background with Panthers plus he already proved around league he can move the ball with many crafty and elaborated formations plus helping Alex Smith on his resurrected career. KEN WISENHUNT - DOLPHINS O.C.MIKE SHERMAN. Sherman will provide Bidwell an experienced coach who can help build faster this team than his predecessor. Sherman had bad experiences with TEXAS A&M Aggies but to be fair it was a lost cause try to beat schools like Texas, Nebraska,etc and he was cut by Packers because of Ted Thompson. Sherman already have tools to work with: Kolb showed some flashes at beginning of season plus having Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Roberts, Michael Floyd, Bennie Wells also a solid defensive core. As a former OL coach, He can help this wounded core of linemen. PAT SHURMUR - JON GRUDEN. Browns wins over Eagles mostly cuz Cleveland's Front Office will be cleared after Mike Holmgren is gone. In the past, Gruden was tempted of leaving ESPN for Browns but there was Holgrem as team football president and Tom Heckert as GM so he decided to stay on TV network instead. The University of Tennessee is pushing for his services but I don't see Gruden as NCAA coach while he can make something with his childhood's team. NORV TURNER - BROWNS MIKE HOLMGREN. Whispers around the league put Reid on Chargers's radar but why being satisfied by good coach while you can have The King Midas' instead. A.J. Smith and Turner will be gone for sure and Holmgren can easily fill those spots (literatelly speaking LOL). Holmgren has help teams like Seahawks and Browns to build up competitive teams through the draft and training camp. MIKE MUNCHAK - EAGLES ANDY REID. Bud Adams is tired by being crushed and overmatched in national media and they need someone who can build his team to be a big contender. Reid can bring Tom Heckert as his GM and build together a Superbowl team. On the defensive side of ball, he can bring Ron Rivera as D.C. ROMEO CRENNEL - BENGALS D.C. MIKE ZIMMER. Owner Clark Hunt needs someone with a tough and fighting attitude for this young team and Mike Zimmer fits nicely. Players whom played for Zimmer showed him their respect and dedication plus his career as defensive coach is remarkable around the league. Your thoughs?

As for the Browns, nothing wrong whatsoever with hiring a defensive minded head coach even if they are going to draft and develop a rookie QB. What matters is who the HC chooses to run the offense and who they hire to be the QB coach. With the right OC/QB coach combo they can groom a young QB. Pete Caroll has a defensive background and Wilson has developed just fine to date, Belichick same background and the Pats did pretty well with Brady, how about Dungy and Manning, Pagano and Luck and even Cowher and Big Ben (they won a SB).

How about Frazier, Nolan, Singletary? An offensive-minded coach, especially one with QB-background, simply recognizes the flaws of his QB faster, thus he can correct the way a QB is coached etc.

Nolan selected Alex, Singletary did not choose Alex but he did choose his OC and it turned out to be a poor choice. But Alex did have good offensive minds around him very early on but there is a lot more to the Alex Smith story and I'm not about to turn this into another go round about his career. Ultimately Alex wasn't a poor choice, but he also did not live up to the expectations of the #1 overall QB.

Frazier chose his OC, but Spielman chose the QB. And ultimately Frazier took the fall.

Each situation is different because it depends on who is making the personnel decisions and how much they will truly rely on the opinions of the offensive minded coaches. It won't matter who Cleveland ends up with as HC, OC or QB coach if their opinions are not valued, regarded and are heavily weighed by Lombardi and Banner when it comes time to selecting that QB (it also depends on how the draft board falls and if they can make a deal to move up should need be).

There are many variables in play and an offensive minded head coach with a QB background can still get it wrong and many have before and many will in the future. And exactly how many offensive minded coaches with QB backgrounds are out there that are truly ready and or capable of leading an NFL franchise ?

I spoke w Pep Hamilton today. He's very excited about the possibility that Derek Mason will be the new HC at Vandy. Says Mase is everything

...Vandy wants. A great leader, tremendous ethics, excellent recruiter, has a passion for it all.

Pep confirmed he spoke with Vandy about the opportunity but he made it very clear that no offer was made to him.

Pep sounds like and he said he's "Very happy where he is. Very happy to be a Colt"

Vandy sources confirm to us that multiple candidates who weren't getting the job were informed of that last night. The process had been...

…explained to them. That one would be selected to come for final visit & if went well offer would be worked out.

Pep is going to be an NFL HC or Stanford's next HC in my opinion. He's on that track.
