Who is Next?

[freddyg12]

Please not Cowher, or for that matter, any other "big name" coach.

Cowher is retired for a reason, he wants a break. Sure he could be lured by big $, but it that the type of motivation we want? that's been the problem w/players & coaches here, they come for the $. Joe was an exception, he wanted the challenge.

Cowher has already won a super bowl. We need a guy that has something to prove & wants to build a team & reputation. Some of the pieces are in place, so hire GW.

Although it's eerily similar to Pettibon's hiring in 93, GW has been a head coach before and now he's matured under Gibbs. Hire GW w/the condition that Al remain as OC, just as Jones did w/Garrett in dallas.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

I thought about the Pettibon/Williams comparison when I first heard about Gibbs' retirement. But, if Williams becomes the head coach, he will be walking into a very different situation. This team has a lot of talent and much of it is young. This team also may have a franchise QB. Pettibon inherited an aging team without a young, franchise QB at the helm.

I picked Williams...but mainly because I don't want to see everything we have now torn down. I certainly wouldn't hate the hire of Cowher, but Jsarno makes a good point about his offense being conservative...and wasn't that what everyone has been screaming about here for the last 4 years???? I think if Williams is hired and Saunders stays, I think everything stays very positive going into next season...especially from the point of view of the players!!!

They are saying on Sports Talk 980 that sources close to Vinny C say that it will be Cowher and he will be head coach and GM.

Is this going to be Marty S all over again? Say it isn't so!

No F'ing way. I will be so pissed if this happens.

The ink is not even dry on Gibbs resignation letter and no interviews have been done. Has anyone told Cowher about this?

And lets not forget the "Rooney Rule".

There is a lot that has to happen before someone can say this.

Exactly.

[RedskinPete]

Keep it the way it is...GW and Saunders runing the O and D with one the head coach. We don't need a big overhaul and a year of starting over cutting and adding players to fit a new way of doing thing for a new head coach. Both Al and GW are great coaches and know what do to and the players they have and need to win so let them do it!

List of prospects from John Clayton (sorry if it's already been posted--don't think I already saw it on this thread):

Jason Garrett Dallas Cowboys Offensive coordinator
Garrett is a hot name because of his impact on the development of Tony Romo. He's a candidate in Baltimore and Atlanta, but the team that gets him might have to wait until after the Super Bowl if the Cowboys win two playoff games.
Brian Billick Ex-Ravens coach
Billick is a big name and he's a winner. He's still stunned by his firing from the Ravens, but his résumé is hard to ignore. Having worked in Baltimore, he knows the media market, which is an asset for the owner.
Jim Caldwell Indianapolis Colts Assistant head coach/QB coach
Caldwell brings the Tony Dungy effect to a franchise. He is calm and stoic. Peyton Manning speaks about his understated value to the offense. Caldwell is a lead candidate in Atlanta and is drawing strong consideration from the Ravens.
Russ Grimm Arizona Cardinals Assistant head coach/offensive line coach
Snyder scored points with Redskins fans by hiring the Redskins' Hall of Fame coach, so why not hire one of their greatest offensive linemen? Grimm was a candidate for jobs in Chicago and Pittsburgh and is clearly ready to take the step into head coaching.
Mike Singletary San Francisco 49ers Assistant head coach/linebackers coach
A Hall of Famer, Singletary is probably going to get an interview for the Falcons' job soon. He has been groomed the past couple seasons to be a head coach.
Rex Ryan Baltimore Ravens Defensive coordinator
Ravens players are campaigning for him to be head coach, and he reportedly had a great interview with Baltimore over the weekend.

I could get excited over Russ. He has the fan connection as well as coaching experience. For the Cower supporters they did work together. Coaching with Cower and playing for Coach Gibbs I'm sure he learned a few things. Several former players are doing very well as Head Coaches.

If we are going to started all over lets go with Russ Grimm but not Cowher!
