Hot Seat Coaches - GW related (1 Viewer)

[You]

Some owners are taking the position that they don't want to hire anyone that requires big pay With the next season teetering on a lockout


If it were me, I'd take the opportunity to hire world class material.

IF we lose GW, then I'd like to see the following as potential DCs:

John Fox
Wade Phillips (Flame suit on)
Jim Tomsula
Marvin Lewis
Jack Del Rio

I know there are a lot of former head coaches in that list, that may be hard to convince to go back to being a DC, but it seems to be successful when these guys go backwards after running a team. I'm hoping one of them does it for us, just to make another SuperBowl run.

My Choice is to Keep GW but if that fails I would say Fox or Lewis might work....

I can't see GW going anywhere that they a have a subpar QB. Houston would be a good fit for him though...maybe the Niners (but once again the QB issue...but I think he would love the defense).

Wade Phillips is a very good DC, no flaming. But he does run a 3-4, and I'd rather not go through a schematic shift.

I think owners are worried about a lockout. If the teams get locked out, new coaches might not meet their new players until a week or two before their first regular season game. That is a good reason to retain a coach one more year.

yes they are

They were not at the time. In fact, most signs pointed to their departure. Just because they were retained, does not mean you were right in saying they were 100%.

My guess is that Williams stays another year because the job openings are not a good fit. Tennessee is a possibility for several reasons, but the reason for any opening--Fisher leaving because of Vince Young--is the reason that Williams may pass on the job.

I recall GW was quoted before as saying he wouldn't take a job unless the QB was established and in place. That would make Houston and Denver viable destinations. The Bengals could be argued in the equation there. I remember him also saying that he wouldn't take a job where the chances for pretty quick results are slim. Why should he, he is in a great, well paid job where he is given a lot of freedom and already has a ring from it.

In fact, in searching for that quote, I found this two page thread on GW as a head coach on the Denver boards from after yesterday's game

Denver is settled at QB? Tebow started the last 2 games. We may have different definitions of established QB.
Kubiak is staying in Houston it was announced.

Garret is nowhere near 100% - did you hear Jones' comments Saturday night?

Coughlin is also nowhere near 100% of they miss the playoffs. Not even close.

Coughlin is returning, at least for one year. Frasier is also going to be the Vikings coach. I think Garrett returns as well.

GW said on Sirius last night," That if he would have drafted Drew Brees in Buffalo. He would be freezing his *** off right now in upstate NY".

If GW was a younger guy who never had a HC job, he may consider leaving. But I think he's happy in NO, he loves that he has an offense that lets his defense be aggressive and can score a lot of points. He doesn't want to go to a team that doesn't have a good offense, plus he's not an O guy, so he'd be doubly screwed. He's the Ying to Payton's Yang.

Right, the date of that post was 12-28, and I was just saying, at that time, that I would not consider either guy 100% to return. That being said, it looks like they both will, I agree.
