VABills Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 you mean like 20+ years ago? i didn't say NEVER..i said LIMITED. Bud Grant dude? lol He never coached in the NFL until the Vikes. Who cares, 20, 10, 5? Winners win. Same is true now as it was 50 years ago.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Fwiw Peter king just said lovie is the favorite Great news, would much prefer him to Whisenhunt due to successful track record
Bangarang Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Is that you Schopp or Bulldog? I've been against Lovie and Whisenhunt from the very beginning. I've also stated that Horton and Marrone were my 2 favorite guys so far.
mrags Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 If lovie has any pride, he wouldn't take a DC position for a coach who's never coached a game in the NFL. Lovie just went 10-6 last season. If anything, it should be Lovie as HC and Chip as OC. nothing against Chip, i'm just looking at it from a lovie point of view. was just thinking that to round it out nicely and offer everyone sick money at thier positions. As it appears right now, Kelly is done and will be a Brown. With tht said, I'm not sad. I really want Lovie an I wonder if Lovie, Norv, Wiz, Horton, would have any objections to working with one another. Obviously not all of them but maybe say Wiz as HC, Lovie as DC, Norv as OC. Or Lovie as HC, Norv as OC, Horton as DC. There's tons of possibilities. I wonder how Lovie is with the Rurner family after firing and rehiring his son. As much as I don't think any of these guys would take a Cordinator job, it might be in thier best interests if none of them are receiving any love on the HC front. Gotta get your name back in the mix some how. That's all
26CornerBlitz Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I've been against Lovie and Whisenhunt from the very beginning. I've also stated that Horton and Marrone were my 2 favorite guys so far. No worries, Just kidding with you. Not opposed to either of those guys. Especially Horton.
Erik Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Fwiw Peter king just said lovie is the favorite Where did he say that?
Kelly the Dog Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 If I knew who Lovie was going to bring in to run the offense, then he may be my favorite if not Chip Kelly. I think I read somewhere last week that he was talking about Hue Jackson as the OC. I would be totally on board with that, as I think he is a pretty good offensive coach.
billnutinphoenix Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Fwiw Peter king just said lovie is the favorite favorite for which job?
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I've been against Lovie and Whisenhunt from the very beginning. I've also stated that Horton and Marrone were my 2 favorite guys so far. Yes, leading vaunted Syracuse to 8-5 in the Big East pretty much signals NFL-readiness for a beleaguered franchise.
UConn James Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 By the end of this, I'm 67.4% sure that we'll be interviewing Chan Gailey for the head coach spot.
VABills Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 By the end of this, I'm 67.4% sure that we'll be interviewing Chan Gailey for the head coach spot. After Chip Kelly recommends him.
Bangarang Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yes, leading vaunted Syracuse to 8-5 in the Big East pretty much signals NFL-readiness for a beleaguered franchise. Let me guess, you want Lovie Smith?
mrags Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Let me guess, you want Lovie Smith? why wouldn't you want a HC that's got a winning record and been to the SB? And done it all with Rex Grossman at QB
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Let me guess, you want Lovie Smith? Well, I wouldn't mind a coach that has been to the Super Bowl once, the NFC championship game twice, owns a 3-3 playoff record, and has five winning seasons under his belt. Provided he can learn from past mistakes and partner with the right offensive mind. But if you want the guy who has "turned around" 'Cuse in the low-pressure Big East and held Sean Payton's grocery list while he ran the offense, I guess I understand. He is local and probably comes cheap.
McBeane Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Now that Kelly is out of the question, Lovie is my guy. Everyone here has stated all the reasons why. Hopefully this gets done soon!

But you can go on putting words in my mouth if it helps you feel as though your choice for a head coach is superior. But I guess as long as Lovie learns from all his previous mistakes we should be just fine. Now excuse me while I go vomit.

zow2 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Lovie, Whizz or Horton,,,,not sure which one will pan out the best but let's get one signed up by tomorrow. All will be head coaches for someone in 2013.

vincec Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 It's all just a game of musical chairs. Whisenhunt, Reid, Smith all fired from one team and move to another. I don't get it if it happens. Wouldn't you think that the franchise that they've been coaching with for multiple years knows them pretty well? Why they would get rid of quality head coaches if they were ready to pick right up with another team and do well? At the very least, these guys need some time away from the head position to gain some perspective. I'm not in favor of any of these guys.
