Spagnuolo is looking good (Defense)

Spag is a good DC but he had a ferocious D-line this season to help him out, he will be a good HC in the future but I dont think he is ready just yet.

At this point I prefer another offensive mind. I'll take Fossil and get on with it already.

What's wrong with a defensive minded coach? Del Rio, Crennel, Dungy, Belichick, Tomlin, Fisher, Lovie Smith, Wade Phillips (I'll throw him in) are no slouches.

Fair enough. I think we can agree that plenty of retread coaches have been very successful, and others not so much.

Name me the coaches who have been overwhelmingly successful besides the two coaches we saw last night as well as Tony Dungy? None really jump out at me in recent years.

P.S. Jon Gruden won a Super Bowl with Dungy's team

dungy wasnt the coach and he couldnt get to the SB with the same players

I think because of Blache. If not, then sure Meeks or Spags would be a good choice. But then you'd have a rookie HC and a rookie OC (Zorn)

I don't think Blache would mind, wasn't he about to retire? I would rather have a hungry rookie HC and OC than Fassel as HC.

How about Mike Shanahan, Norv Turner did ok this year (though I still maintain they won in spite of him), Wade Phillips' Cowboys were 13-3 this year (regardless of whether you think it was all because of Jason Garrett, doesn't take away from the fact that Phillips was the coach)

Shanahan is not a recent retread, heck the last Super Bowl he won with Denver was almost ten years ago. As for Norval, he inherited a wealth of talent in SD, and Wade couldn't get the Cowgirls to their first playoff win in over 12 years despite having home-field advantage.

Give Norval credit he took them further than my favorite retread (Marty) and Wade with the talent on that team.... Same as it ever was.

Fine. We're just going to go in circles about this. I think of the four known choices remaining Fassel is the best fit for this team and I think there are enough examples in recent (last two) years, coupled with Fassel's experience and succcess, that say Fassel can do very well as our head coach.

But I understand that he's the anti-flavor of the month
