JohnNord Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) You’re the GM of an NFL franchise and about to hire a new coach. But your owner insists on hiring a HC with previous NFLhead coaching experience. Who do you hire and why? Below are a few candidates: Leslie Frazier, Bills DC Josh McDaniels, Patriots HC Jason Garrett, Giants OC Todd Bowles, Bucs DC Dennis Allen, Saints DC Raheem Morris, Falcons DC/HC Romeo Crennel, Texans DC/HC Chan Gailey, Miami OC (just for fun!) Dan Quinn, out of NFL Matt Patricia, out of NFL Marvin Lewis, out of NFL Bill O’Brien, out of NFL Jim Caldwell, out of NFL Jim Harbaugh, out of NFL IMO I would go with Frazier or Bowles. I think both are good leaders that would be a solid defense. Offense is the big question mark with them. Edited December 23, 2020 by JohnNord

bills6969 Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Harbaugh. He’s a pro coach more so than college. 8

Manther Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Jim Caldwell he was a good HC and leader at the NFL level with success. 5
Chicharito Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I’m voting for Adam gase to get the head coaching job in New England and St. Doug to get his dream job in New Jersey. That’s all I would want. 8 11 2

His overall winning percentage is about 57%. Slightly above average which is how Id categorize him as HC. Wade is also almost 74 years old. Too old to be hired as a HC Just now, Manther said: Jim Caldwell he was a good HC and leader at the NFL level with success. Dan Orlavsky loved Caldwell and said what a good job he did as HC in Detroit. I know he’s been in consideration for other HC jobs recently.

DrDawkinstein Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Jason Garrett, because I'm hiring a Head Coach, not a coordinator. I need someone to be the CEO of the team and set the tone for the organization, not someone worried about calling plays. And out of that list, most of those guys just seem like Coordinators who couldnt hack it as head coaches. Where Garrett is a Head Coach who had his ups and downs. IMO. 3

dpberr Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Brian Billick. 80-64, Super Bowl winner. I don't know what happened with his career. He never coached again after the Ravens. It's amazing the Ravens have only had three coaches in their history - Marchibroda, Billick and Harbaugh.
Artem Lipatov Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Harbaugh. I don’t understand why he left NFL for college job. He had quick success reaching SB with 49ers and developed Kapernik into star qb
