Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

I don't think you can compare the BB tree with Andy Reid's

John Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, and Doug Pedersen has been pretty successful. Compared to the BB tree coaches, even Ron has had more success in his career.

The BB coaching tree is full of flops who come from inflated expectations because they coach for BB and had Tom Brady as QB.

Andy Reid's tree definitely has more success but it's still more often than not they don't succeed - Nagy, Rivera, etc. for example, I'm sure I could find others. But yes those three are examples where Reid's protege's have had success after leaving his staff.

Good read - personally not sure it makes a difference firing McDaniels now or after the season but obviously Mark Davis is smart enough to know when it's not working. Now comes the hard part - hiring a permanent guy to lead them.

Also Davis gotta be hurting - between Jon Gruden and McDaniels they are paying an assload of money to two HC's not working for them anymore.

I’m not sure why not go extremely hard after Jim Harbaugh?

Plenty of "rumors" floating around that we will be going after the Hoodie.

Meh.

Ugh, I really hope it's just rumors..

If Florio is saying it, it’s probably wrong

Can't see that happening at all.

If Harris hires BB and trades a pick I’m not sure that ain’t a Dan move ..😳 Convince me I’m wrong …

Would have to agree, which is why it's not happening.

I'll try. I can't see Harris hiring a 71 year-old man to coach this team. BB looks to be very, very tired these days. Also BB hasn't been winning nearly as much without having an All-World QB on his side. Bill will want total control and Harris might find it to be wiser to hire a GM who reports to him and who can develop a top-notch FO staff that can carry on the work in the event of a coaching change.
