Our next coach??

Yeah since the last time that happened it worked out so well. :doh:

How do you know this guy wouldn't work out or Harbaugh. Why do people base their experience on the Spurrier project, that guy didn't have the demeanor to command respect yet even coach a professional team. Harbaugh is a different breed of coach and one day soon will prove it by being hired by a smart NFL team.

Well not just Spurrier, but in general college coaches don't do well in the NFL. Why would we want to try to beat the odds with the problems at the HC position we've had (except for Gibbs 2.0)

Those are some old articles. Trust me, if there's one guy who I believe is the real deal in college and will be successful when comes to the NFL, it's "Captain Comeback".

I would agree, Harbaugh hasn't been coaching college long enough anyways to be completely indoctrinated in it's philosophy. So I don't think the "college-coach" analogy applies to him. He's only been out of the league for 10 years so he still knows what it takes to win in the NFL. And most importantly he'll be great for our young QB.

I dont think we will make a big splash for our next HC. It will depend on if VC is still the VP of football here next season, determine if a big name coach will become our HC. I think we may have our next HC already here on our staff. I could see Zorn getting fired and Greg Blache being named the new HC. Sherman Lewis would be the OC and Jackson would move the the DC job. Sometime a small change can lead to a better results. A big name doesnt not mean positive results. We would have to start over with new systems on the offense and defense which could stunt the growth our young 3 amigos are starting to show.

i agree with your main point, we don't need to make a huge splash, but i disagree with blache and lewis, while lewis had helped up out it would seem, i don't wanna to keep these "older" guys around. i would love to see us bring in some youthful guys and build some real continuity to stick with for a long term situation. i honestly don't think blache would eveen take the job anyway, the feeling i get from him is he wants to get out of football and go fishing all day, and sherm lewis already retired once, and i'm guessing he did it for a reason

We tried the low key approach with Zorn, now I see little to no possibility that we won't be chasing a big name once the season ends. I think we're going to see an entirely different staff next year.

i know thats the sad part, if they would have down a better job finding a low key guy, but not a freakin qb coach we might have been better off, i just hope the staff has some youth to it and i hope they are here for atleast five years

The head coach isn't just responsible for the guys on the field. He's also the face of the franchise and the franchise is a business. And tickets and sponsorship deals need to be sold...so yeah I think it will be a big name as well.

We all know Snyder is going to PURSUE a big name HC. The question is, will we find one willing to come here? Right now, Shanahan is the only one who hasnt essentially closed the door 100% on coaching the skins. And I personally don't think Shanahan will come here. So where does that leave us?
