Head Coaching Candidates for 2025 (1 Viewer)

[OldSaintFan]

Here is my list:

1. Zac Strief
2. Bill Bellicheck
3. Brian Flores
4. Aaron Glenn
5. Jim Haslet

Jim Haslett

 

[meily]

Mike Vrabel and he keeps Kubiak as the OC.

 

[Saint Droopy]

Give me Kingsbury, Brady. or Glenn.

I was gonna say Kingsbury. I'd prefer an offensive head coach because if you get a good OC... he's gonna go out and get a head coaching job if he's good.

I watched an interview that he did not long ago, and he said that he has since learned a lot about calling NFL offenses since his days in Arizona. He hired Anthony Lin to coordinate his run game, and those 2 now have Washington as one if not THE most efficient offenses in the league. Of course it helps having JD5 at QB, but they don't have the talent that say... Detroit or Houston has.

If we can get Kingsbury as the HC/OC, and Jim Schawrz as the DC (after Cleveland cleans house) I'd be happy.

I thought about him, but I have to wonder how much of that offense is Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels. I recall that Arizona offense and it was horrible. It was so bad, and he knew just how terrible it was because he stuck with it for like what? 6 weeks before going back to college coaching?

yeesh. This is the first year he's having any success in the NFL (not that theres much to look at), and I don't think half a season of a successful offense with Jayden Daniels balling out is enough to erase that Arizona offense for a head coaching job.

Joe Brady scares me. He was dead in the water as a HCing candidate until he got a mid-season job with the Bills with arguably the 2nd best QB in the game and a wealth of riches on the OL and at RB.

Is he a culture builder? That's far more important to me than just snagging an offensive mind with an LSU connection.

I've warmed to the idea of Mike Vrabel and Aaron Glenn because of the culture question.

Brian Johnson, if you can get him, you just take the chance on whether he'll be a leader of men or not. He's too big of a prize to pass on.

Brady is pretty solid. He was a big reason LSU did what they did. I'm not sure what happened in Carolina under Matt Rhule, but we saw Carolina's offensive problems continue for the rest of Rhule's tenure after Brady left.

He didn't go to the Bill mid season, he was taken on as QB coach in the offseason and was promoted to OC after Dorsey was fired. Burrow had a few comments to make that were positive, and we've seen Allen's play increase in success since Brady was brought in by the Bills.

I think he can do it. Plus, let's not forget, he was coached and groomed by Sean Payton's offensive philosophy.

We can safely say Brady has elevated the offense of whatever team he went to except the Carolina Panthers, and is a big reason the Bills are 7-2. Even Sean Payton had a falling out with the Giants prior to coming to New Orleans.

Bill Bellichick, Mike Vrabel, Brian Flores would be the 3 that can get this team playing correctly and disciplined to start the rebuild. This next coaching hire may not be the one for the long haul depending on the other moves that are made.

We need a complete overhaul of the front office before we do anything. Personnel AND coaching has led to this disaster. Bad spending, underwhelming drafting post 2017. If we overhaul everything this offseason then we can be on a quicker path to success.

Get a young HC, let him hire his young coordinators, young GM, young Head of scouting. Everything needs to be on the table for replacement.

 

[longtime lurker]

I want an offensive coach. Defensive coaches haven’t won it all since Patriots

Me too…we are about to be in a Great position draft wise the next few years to truly rebuild and have a chance at drafting a franchise QB. That should be an attractive selling point for a good OC minded head coach.

Figured we wanna see who the candidates where

probably not at the top of the list for most candidates--so it's a two way street. Todd Monken is my pick

 

[meezy0236]

HC Ben Johnson
DC Robert Saleh

I believe they contend again within two seasons.

 

[Semper]

Needs to be an offensive minded coach period...

Disagree. Defense wins championships.

 

[Lustmord]

Sucks for KK. We got 2 weeks, then poof.

hes got 9 weeks to audition for another team or the stay as OC for new HC

I want to see what Rizzi has- gives me dan Campbell vibes

 

[St. Widge]

Monken and Milroe?

I don't know about Milroe, but Monken and Ward would interest me.

 

[Infoman]

This team, in it's current state - and as it will be for about the next 3 seasons... Needs a HC that can do the following in short order:

1. Implement a Culture, Accountability, and Execution standard... and be able to reasonably enforce it.
2. Be old enough, wise enough, and respected enough to have the attention and pulse of the team from day 1.
3. Have the ability to work with KK and whoever the DC ends up being to address personnel/scheme issues now, and make the hard decisions going forward.
4. Must have enough experience and connections to put together a staff that follows and enforces his vision - so the team buys in.
5. Possess a track record for drafting and developing players, and the courage to remove players that are past their prime.
6. Most importantly, be able to identify his successor early in the process to ensure the culture carries on.

We don't need some unknown commodity with no experience right now... This team is too far down the rabbit hole for that...

A "green" coach would be doomed to failure with this team given it's current state. We need a proven guy with creed and instant-respect to come in and guide a complete tear down... then hire/concede to his successor to start the rebuild in a year or two...

Ya'll know who we need.... Ya'll just don't want to admit it.
