I have no doubt Briles is a better coach than Shanny. Still worry about the defense though. The right guy will make the unit respectable overnight. Otherwise the teams ceiling is probably .500 even if Briles is awesome.
What if you bring in Greg Williams and keep Raheem Morris?

Yep. Williams might want his own defensive staff though. Idk how realistic any of that is.

I have a feeling we are going to end up with option 4 or 5 after it's all said and done.
Agreed. The best available coach - by a mile - just got hired in Tampa. Whoever we hire, they'll be a downgrade from shanahan. That much is certain

Of course you didn't. Everyone had just blindly jumped on the Briles bandwagon without knowing shit about shit. Everyone is looking at all of these candidates through rose colored glasses. It's amazing how the irrational hatred of shanahan has got everyone looking at mediocre guys as messiahs. All of you, answer me this -
How confident are you that ANY of these guys you've got hard ons for would have done better than shanahan inheriting cerratos roster and having the salary cap penalty?
Keep in mind that almost 50 players on the roster zorns last year were completely out of the league 2 years later. Shanahan inherited a roster that devoid of talent and the cap penalty prevented him from fixing it as quickly as he otherwise could have. I'm not trying to whine about losing shanahan as much as I'm pointing out that you have no rational basis for believing Any of these college coaches or nfl coordinators will improve on the foundation shanahan built vs tearing it apart.

Umm. Doesn't have anything to do with being "blind".
I'm not going to judge a coach or team based off one year of penalties.
22 wins in 4 seasons is pretty mediocre for any head coach. Doesn't get any more mediocre then that.
Its not about the Cerrato team that any coach would be inheriting. It would be about what coach is going to with a ream that Shanahan made. Slow Defense and a small offensive line. Only one playmaker at WR and a RB who we are not sure will be able to play outside a Shanny zone offense.

Also the penalties make sense because they do run so many more plays then typical teams

Shanahan was less than mediocre, want proof look at his record post Elway and Washington. Dismall

It sucks we're already into gamble candidates ie coordinators without HC experience and pretty limited success. I mean at least McDaniels had a ring as DC.
Maybe the bad rap is making a difference in the A list guys minds. Hoping we don't end up with another Zorn type hire, tho still prefer that to a lowlife like Shanahan. With Lovie gone my next guy up is Gregg Williams. Sure bring Briles in to run the offense. Even call him HC if that's what it takes. But at this point we need a leader of men and there's only ? marks on the interview list.
