I don't understand the "offensive minded" coach argument. It seems like it's leading a lot of people to just look for a great offensive coordinator that may not make the best head coach. What made Payton great was that he was a great coordinator, a great motivator, an UNQUESTIONED leader, and understood game situations. Vrabel has all of that in my opinion. I don't care what side of the ball his experience is when it comes to being a great coordinator, because he has all these other strengths. He's a serious leader and motivator, and the way he owned Belichick by working the clock with penalties shows he studies game situations. He's hands down the best candidate in my book.
Titans Troll Bill Belichick With Flags (Karma)
A Tier
Kingsbury - I know, he's pretty divisive. Something about him though, especially when he's given a young, dynamic QB like Johnny Manziel in college or Jayden now. I'd really like to see what he could do with Spencer. And he may not have the military general vibe of Vrabel, but he seems to be the type of guy players like to play for based on interviews I've seen. Even if a lot of fans don't really like him.
Glenn - Detroit's defense playing like All Pros with everybody injured this year has been eye opening. Again, he motivates his players and they give their all for him. Something we've sorely missed from the head coaching position.
B Tier
All 3 of these guys could make excellent head coaches, but we just haven't seen them do it before. We haven't seen it with Glenn either, but we've seen that there's more to him than coordinating a D based on how his players play for him. There's a lot of talk around Weaver being a culture changer as well, and if so, that's awesome. But it's still a little uncertain with him. Joe and Kellen are both creative young minds when it comes to coordinating an offense, but how strong are their leadership and motivation skills? We don't really know. Again, they could be great. It just seems like more of a risk.
C Tier
These guys have the demeanor to be a leader/motivator, but Rizzi was not only in charge of our game situations while he was head coach. He was in charge of that under DA as well. I seriously question his abilities there as we made some head scratching game situation decisions during that time. Chucky just feels like a guy who's system is old and has been passed by.

I mean, come on. Look at that dope. No thanks.
