Reich would be fun... scary but fun
It would suck if it didn't work out though as it would tarnish his image here
-
Seeing as the NFL is constantly copying the NBA I will say in the next 5-10 years. My guess is that it will be someone with a crazy analytics background. It seems to make more sense in the front office but I could see them assisting in developing game plans.
I agree that a GM/front office role would be most likely the first step
I wonder what types of issues would arise with a female coach on staff... (issues dealing with her authority, being in the locker room, guys making inappropriate comments, etc)
I would think 90% of NFL players would be stand up pros. But as we have seen, there are plenty of guys who are not.
-
That's a serious question? How would anyone be able to answer that?
It's a hypothetical. Do you think it will ever happen?
-
Serious question: when will there be a female assistant coach or HC in the NFL?
-
Doug did a good job, not a great job.
He didn't deserve to be fired (and he was not) but he didn't exactly prove anything either.
-
no thanks to Kyle
-
Do you think some of the great historical leaders would make good HC?
HC don't often do the X's and O's... It's about motivation, planning, managing personalities, inspiring...
I would definitely take Alexander the Great as HC. Like you said, he might not know X's and O's but he was a visionary planner and great leader of men.
Then again, maybe Patton would be a better choice since he could speak English which would probably be a requirement.
lol
Alexander the Great would have the credentials too...
Player: Who are you?
Alexander: I conquered everything we knew of before I was older than most of you. Now let's conquer New England*!

So Whaley is interviewing the guy who is going to replace him as GM?
-
Well...I bet Stalin would have been awesome. He could motivate people.
Stalin's Cowboys vs Churchill's Jets in the Super Bowl

Not eighteen times a day in three different threads.
Of course, we don't have LaCornflake tweeting "BREAKING NEWS: Jets considering Julius Caesar for HC!" three times a day, either.

the awesome thing (and the reason Rex survived in NY) is that he laughed at this and admitted it he was into it
-
I think St. Doug wants a do-over
He made a rash decision and over-estimated how good he was. He did get $4 million and will probably find a spot as an assistant on some staff but still.
What an unexpected and incredible fall. He went from HC of a young up and coming team with a vote of confidence from ownership to probably being OL coach for the Saints or something.
-
Rex is going to be a legendary coach in Atlanta with Matt Ryan when he builds a defense.
With that division and having a QB and some WR talent they should be in the playoffs right away.
-
I do not want Mike as GM/Czar or any other king-like title.
That's like buying a restaurant, hiring Gordon Ramsay, and putting him in charge of the accounting and dining room staff while you find someone else to run the kitchen.
-
You tease him, but I've always admired Rex for not acting all that embarrassed by the episode. While he didn't verbalize what followshis reaction basically seemed to be: "Yes, and we're swinging foot fetishists. We love it, and I love her. What are you squares doing??"
I love Rex Ryan. If he goes to Atlanta he will be legendary.
-
Well, then there is the line of people coming out to publicly defend Marrone....
-
Marrone might have really screwed up his career.
He went from the Bills offering him MORE $$ and security (reportedly) or at the VERY least wanting him to stay on an up and coming team with a stacked defense and an aging Patriots* team in the division to likely not having a HC gig next season.
If he doesn't land a HC gig now I don't see how he becomes a hot name again, given that he does not call plays as an OC.
He could go the Munchak route: coach someone's OL to prominence (although that didn't work out too well). Even if he did, that isn't likely to shoot him up the list of HC candidates.
Just ask Brian Schottenheimer how quickly "being the hot candidate" can end.
I seriously wonder if St. Doug has some emotional issues going on. What he did was self-destructive.
-
John Fox took two teams to the Super Bowl and is proof that talent is a big part of it.
IMO he is mediocre at BEST and makes many of the same dumb moves that Marrone did. He just has a stacked team to bail him out in Denver. For example, Fox kicked a FG TWICE in one game on 4th and goal inside the 1! I was on the Broncos boards and they erupted.
His clock management stinks. His teams don't play up to their level of talent. He is as conservative as they come. Now he has brilliantly decided to "reign it in" with his stacked offense and just run the ball and try to win games 17-14.
I hope Denver wins (mostly because I am a huge Manning fan) but they ought to be crushing teams with all the talent they have.
-
As Snyder's BFF/movie night buddy, RGIII reports directly to the Redskins owner.
That is a recipe for problems
-
This doesn't make much sense
If Shanahan comes as HC fine but if not I'm not very interested
-
the idea that this guy would be the one they come up with is totally depressing
he WAS a HC and his team and offense STUNK.
-
if we're going old, get me my man Marty!
-
when I think of him all that comes to mind is a soggy doughnut
-
I'm not sure the Jets aren't just trying to make it look less like blatant tampering
Marrone will probably be the coach there still.
Remember: Polian was 100% coming here a week ago according to national media types. Then it changed.

It's a valid point. I could see quality control as being an entry level position to gain experience.
With all the media, all-22, fantasy football, etc. that is around today to give fans a window (albeit a limited one) into the game you might see an incredibly well organized woman who is really into football and knows who all the players are be able to do a front office job just as well as anyone else.
Coaching would be tougher, for reasons a few have said. You need to have experience as a player OR a lot of experience coaching the game at many levels.
