Ray Lewis in his prime, Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed on defense; offensive players like Michael Oher, Marshall Yanda, Anquon Bolden, Ray Rice, and Tyrod Tyler at QB (ok, backup!). I often thought Billick just had to do enough not to get in the way! In some ways, it's how Marv coach the Bills. Great players, competent coordinators, just don't screw it up! 1 hour ago, BillsCuse said: Agree, I think he started having problems with the front office in San Fran and was somewhat pushed out. Stupid on The 49ers in my opinion Agree, I think he started having problems with the front office in San Fran and was somewhat pushed out. Stupid on The 49ers in my opinion Agree, I think he started having problems with the front office in San Fran and was somewhat pushed out. Stupid on The 49ers in my opinion Agree, I think he started having problems with the front office in San Fran and was somewhat pushed out. Stupid on The 49ers in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Id go Marvin Lewis. Some of these shaky places he will bring stability. I think he makes alot sense for NYJ. Espically, if they like Darnold. Id go Lewis. Take the tackle. Build the oline and defense.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Quinn, out of NFL Matt Patricia, out of NFL Marvin Lewis, out of NFL Bill O’Brien, out of NFL Jim Caldwell, out of NFL Jim Harbaugh, out of NFL  IMO I would go with Frazier or Bowles.  I think both are good leaders that would be a solid defense.  Offense is the big question mark with them.   They'll hire offensive coordinators, like defensive minded Coach McDermott.

Thurman#1 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 1 hour ago, MJS said:   I think he was just done with the NFL after he got fired without ever having a losing season. He is a bit of a head case and a crazy personality, but he's a really good coach in the NFL.  He went 44-19 as head coach of the 49ers. The 49ers hadn't had a winning season in 9 seasons prior to him. He went to the NFC Championship game 3 times and the Superbowl once. He was coach of the year once.  Just crazy that the 49ers let him go.   Harbaugh certainly had a great record there. But they were in free-fall there before he left. IMO his record was more about great GMsmanship. He did a good job but also infuriated everyone around him. My team? Not interested.  I don't know how you can make this determination without an interview and more info (who would be Frazier's OC?), but I'd lean towards Frazier.  Some of that is not knowing enough about most of the other candidates, some is in believing he's an excellent leader who if he gets good players can coach an excellent team. I would want to know his OC before making final determination, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 With this roster?  I actually might take Gailey. He’s always exceeded expectations with zero talent on that side of the ball.  If Gailey grabbed Schwartz, Wade, etc. there is a good chance he would have gotten us into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'd go Harbaugh in a heartbeat. I read somewhere the Jets might be interested. I hope they don't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had quick success reaching SB with 49ers and developed Kapernik into star qb  The GM didn't like how much control he had and started a power struggle. Given the results immediately before and after Harbaugh...the 49ers made the wrong choice.  1 hour ago, RobbRiddick said: I'd go Harbaugh in a heartbeat.

They fired the DC which you don't do if you're planning on firing the coach and the rumors are that Michigan wouldn't get rid of him because he's owed 10 million unless an NFL team agreed to buy him out.  The Jets seemed destined for Bieniemy trying to revive Darnold. Edited December 24, 2020 by jeremy2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Really depends for which team with what need. I think Dennis Allen would be on my shortlist if I was trying to fill a number of the jobs available this offseason and Bowles would probably be too.  Equally if I was the Lions and he would take it I would hire Jim Harbaugh from down the road.

JimBob2232 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'd take o'brien - but i'd take away his keys to the personnel department. Guy is a good coach - but heavilly marred by ridiculous transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I think Raheem Morris was very young when he coached at Tampa. He is still relatively young and has done ok as an interim, with a bad roster.  Raheem deserves some consideration  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
