Fleshing out additional HC candidates:

Ed Dodds with Matt Eberflus and call it a day

Caserio and Daboll

has sung the praises of Bieniemy more than once now.

For a guy whose name doesn't get mentioned a lot, he oversees one of the NFL's most potent offenses and has done great work with Mahomes.

DC for San Fran

Wasn't Saleh the DC for them in 2018 when their defense was atrocious? I get that having a player like Bosa is naturally going to elevate everyone else...but I'm not sure I trust Saleh after two seasons of wildly different results.

Special Teams/Assistant HC (Chiefs)

Good locker room presence. CEO Type. Coached the great Bears Special Teams Units that saw 8 Pro Bowlers, including the record breaking rookie season/bulk of career of Devin Hester.

Before that (from '01-'03)he was helping elevate John Harbaugh's Special teams unit in Philadelphia (Helping Harbaugh to win Sp. Teams Coach of the year in 01).

Former Strength and Conditioning coach and played Center in college

but Jim Fassel /w Jones, Slayton and Barkley (we get the OL fixed) ... the O would be nice ....

He has one of the most talented defensive rosters in the NFL. His rah-rah sideline demeanor is making him popular in the media.

I too like think Eberflus is an interesting coach. The one problem I have with these things is that being a good coach doesn't necessarily translate into being a good Head Coach. That requires being a good manager (both of situations and staff), choosing correct supporting staff, and knowing how to delegate. It is far more than scheme/coaching.

Great O-Line Guy.

Innovative

I watch the Bills some because my wife is a Bills fan, so I see what Daboll is doing for them. He does show some pretty good creativity at times, but at other times he can be pretty predictable and not very effective. Of course, he doesn't have the strongest OL around or much of a WR/
TE corps to work with, and Josh Allen is still a work in progress.

I think he needs more seasoning, but will be a serious HC candidate in a couple of years.

I think Caserio likes Daboll a lot. If DG gets canned and we hire Caserio, this may be our guy.

Unless you’re getting the extreme established coach like parcels was you really don’t know what you’re getting.

Anyone, SY included, thinking they know whose going to make a good coach is bullshitting you. There’s always some hotshot coordinator that’s the next guy. Shit, spags was one of em.

The truth is most head coaches fail. There are 6-8 openings every year. Just have to hope you get the right guy.

is that Andy Reid's OCs aren't really running the offense, Reid is.

in a NFL coordinator who has never been a HC.

I want a HC with championship experience, or a college coach who has built programs.

I am no College savant, so I cant speak to program builders, however, from the NFL, who would that leave you with that qualification?

Todd Bowles, Dennis Allen, Leslie Frazier, Mike Munchak, Mike McCoy, Vance Joseph or other non-inspiring choices (Gus Bradley? Norv? Wade Phillips?).

Does that really excite you?

Knowing who is out there with that criteria does that affect your perspective?

on my list are: Rule, Rivera, McCarthy, McDaniels

That's about it.

and would have to hear from them about that before any decision. One reason McCarthy intrigues me is that he’s been working on putting a staff together already, in preparation for a new HC job.

He can fix the defense and he has won with Andrew Luck (who basically had no OL help the majority of his career). Been to the playoffs and won a few games in them as well.

I think going with a proven HC who has a legit winning record like Pagano would be better then first time coaches or others who have had losing experiences as coaches.

but the Giants can ill afford to gamble on a promising assistant and get it wrong once again. I think a guy like Rivera makes the most sense at this point.

I used to think like that, until Doug Pederson had to go and win a Super Bowl. (barf)
