thèse 2 will be hired in those roles. It’s the Mara way to hire people who are familiar and have worked for you. Since 1960 team has had 11 coaches and only 3 had never worked for team previously. The only GM who hadn’t worked for team was the Rozelle forced hiring of Young. Maras operate like a small business and not a billion dollar operation in a highly competitive environment.
Then they might as well have kept McAdoo and Reese.
Until Cowher's team finally won the SB (in about his 14th season), which was largely thanks to Labeau's defense, not to mention some shitty calls by the refs, Cowher had a losing playoff record. Yes, he got them there quite a few times, but overall not that impressive.
Mike Tomlin actually has a more impressive record.

This. Cowher lost at HOME to the JETS fercrissakes!
I don't mind Abrams stayoing as capologist. Just don't let him Â
have an opportunity to interview for the HC position, but there's no way he gets it. As much as the organization loves him, more often than not, any unit he is involved with is the worst in the league.
audition for his next job. If he is able to show any improvement in the team's play, or even prevent it from going further into the crapper, he may just have a shot at HC, or at least some possibility of being retained if they hire a HC with mainly a background in the offense.

Exactly.
He would likely have to do something extraordinary—like winning all the remaining games—to be retained as HC next season. But you want as many candidates as possible for HC
Two Coughlin-ites running the show again in Spags and Sully, ironic huh.
This is interesting indeed.
Why? Have you seen his record? Are you aware they are bottom 3rd of the league in every category? That he has 3 of the worst defenses of all time on his resume'? Flopped as a HC? Has issues displining his players? Why the hell would you "root" for Spags?
This is a HOUSE CLEANING. Spags and everyone else needs to go. Even Cockroach Quinn won't survive this on.
Good

Enjoy these couple of weeks.
I just clicked on a few minutes ago Music to my ears I wasn't gonna watch this weeks game with the Raiders but former classmate and good friend next door neighbor invited
me over to watch the game . I am glad I did and this absolutely had to happen . I agree with most here about
Spags going forward I hope its only temporary and hopefully
a new coach will be found and maybe he will retain Spags best case scenario IMO .

Aside from the factual 3 worst defenses, some of which were because Rob Ryan ruined the Saints, how do you know about discipline issues?
Also, most 1st time coaches flop.
I also don't disagree about needing to clean house completely..

Think he is a top, hard working FB guy and learned a lot these last years. Needs a strong GM who will back him up and offer counsel . The next Belichek maybe ? He deserves another shot if he wants it, but keep him as DC forever.

the next HC. But if this team could ever score more than 20 points a game, let's say average 24 points a game nobody would be criticizing his defense. Of course if they did that Macadoo would still be head coach. My point is it's not his fault the offense can't score.
His first run.
This current run...especially. the last 2 years...seems he was doing a lot of guessing on his calls...often wrong and costly. I'll discount much of it to WHO'S. our new guy? injuries....but still....
I think EA might pick Abram's and Mara will lean to Spags staying as HC or again forcing a HC to take Spags. EA will tell him "You gotta stop doing that! " And will then say: These are my recommendations..do what you want with them.

They were a top 3 defense last season. I don't know what you could criticize Spagnuolo for last year. This year he may have misstepped, but also there was some quit on the defensive roster.
I'm pretty sure Spags was DC for the two worst defenses in league history. And it was two different franchises and I think 3 years apart. Can that possibly happen to a guy who is good enough to be a head coach?

He was also the DC for some top 5 defenses and a super bowl winner. The whole perspective matters.
As to whether he can be a head coach? If he's the head coach, he won't be calling the defense. Just like we don't want offensive head coaches calling plays, why would you want a defensive head coach calling plays? Whether he can be a good head coach isn't so much related to his resume as a coordinator. Players seem to respect him. It's about how he deals with people more than how he designs blitzes once you're a head coach.

Great a bean counter as GM. Let's bring in Sashi Brown and Paul DePodeata to help him out.

Has Cowher ever won anything without Labeau?

Mike Tomlin actually has a more impressive record.
And tell him, "no thanks"
As a HC, he's also loved by the opposing team. On both sides of the ball.

That said, I doubt he is the HC next season
Spags isn't going anywhere.
This is interesting indeed.
He has a job. Also, Baltimore is kind of a mess.

Let's not get carried away.
Oh, FFS.

You're out of your mind.
Bellicheck was somewhat of a bust in Cleveland before he ended up in New England. Look on the positive side;)!

That's baaad. He's more responsible for the draft picks than Reese.

Get Uncle Stevie to coach.
And Cousin Kevie can be the GM
