The Next 32: The Men in Line to Become Bosses

The MMQB sought out the guidance of 24 respected football mindsagents, coaches, scouts, plugged-in reporters and front office executivesto compile a list of those who might become NFL head coaches. Remember, its an unscientific study of something that cannot be studied in a scientific way.

Nooooooooo!!!


I'd put Marrone under the "Something to Prove" category.

 

He was just a HC last year and is now an OL coach/assistant HC

 

He built his case while in the NFL and Syracuse. Then destroyed his case with the Bills.

Tough business when 3 consecutive division titles and contention for them NFC championship plus a Superbowl appearance gets a guy on the "something to prove" list, but winning the Pinstripe bowl at Syracuse and quitting on a 9-7 team gets you "building a case".

This was the one negative that went through my mind when the Bills hired Roman. If the best case scenario happens and he is able to turn this offense around with a purely defensive minded head coach and no real QB to speak of, he'll be gone.

 

Of course that's not a reason to pass on a good coach, but we'll be back to the drawing board if he gets a head coaching job next year.

I've wondered if having Chris Palmer around is potentially a plan for him to take over to have continuity with the offense if Roman were to leave

if the Bills make the playoffs and have the best running game in the league then Roman might jump to the top of that list. this job is like a "prove it" job where if he can show he can take a team and turn around their offense then he will be a highly sought after coach. he had HC interviews last year but they probably wanted to see him do it on another team first to prove that it wasn't Harbaugh's influence that did the trick in SF.

•Not surprisingly, the Seahawks lead the league in potential head coaches according to our poll, with three (Darrel Bevell, Tom Cable and Kris Richard). The Chargers, Patriots, Bears, Colts and Lions each boast two on the list.

 

Ummm....and the Bills.

i recall reading the succession plan is Aaron Kromer. He was hired in part for OL coach because of his OC experience should Roman get a HC position down the line and could continue the same system.

The good news is?

 

- We now have a deep pocket owner

- There is no cap on how much you can pay coaches

Let's wait and see how the O actually does under Roman, shall we? I can remember the same worry being expressed about Wannstache (*wwwaaahhh wwwaaahhhh wwwaaaahhhh*).

And lo, we know the result of that worry. Then about Pettine. And lo, we know that while the D was improved under him, it was even better under Schwartz, who for some reason no one wants for HC at all.

 

Wait and see.

Just match his pay to whatever HC job is out there. No cap on coaches.

 

Meh. Most of these guys have Great Big Egos and want to be The Man and prove that they can do it...and there are only 32 NFL HC jobs in the world

Yea but most fail, maybe knowing you can have a solid foundation for your family with great pay is worth it. Edited by Beef Jerky

People worried about this with Wannstadt? Crazy.

 

I only remember it with Pettine. That was justifiable.

You aren't likely to keep a coordinator that is being offered a HC job, no matter the money. It happens, but it's pretty rare. The money will be helpful bringing in new talent, but just like the draft bringing in a new OC is a crap shoot.

And in the meantime...sit on my thumbs? I'm just talking here about a possible eventuality, pretty much 98% of the offseason discussion.
