Stoox Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Not sure who the new GM will interview in terms of coach, but if it was me, the list would be:  Eric Bieniemy Wink Martindale Raheem Morris Dan Quinn Brian Flores Dave Toub  --> my personal favorite, and could keep Bieniemy on as OC to have some continuity with Howell.

Jim Harbaugh  Way too many guys here who have already failed as HC (some spectacularly). Some guys are better as coordinators. Way too many DC here. This is just my opinion but this list, if it was comprehensive, would sicken me lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Harbaugh  The new thread on the Ron replacement will be very interesting. While it doesn't feel like Washington would take a defensive HC, who knows how the new GM will lean. Many fans are tainted on the D side but the decision could easily go either way. My favorite on your list is Quinn but I don't see him leaving Dallas. I am not a fan of the biggest name, Harbaugh...or Belichick for that matter  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Harbaugh   Yuck at all these names. We just suffered for 4 years with a defensive minded, dinosaur of an HC in Rivera. Why would we move even further away from what works currently in the NFL, which is young, offensive minded coaches? All those names are either retreads, or defensive coaches. No bueno. Just go after someone on Kyle Shanahan's staff, Sean McVay's staff or go all in on the hottest coaching prospect this offseason (Ben Johnson). No more retreads, and I can't emphazise this enough: NO MORE DEFENSIVE MINDED COACHING HIRES!!!

brewbrew2323 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I'm all in on Harbaugh - just don't know if he would take the job without complete control of personnel. As bad as I want Harbaugh, I want a GM to run the show even more and if Harbaugh is not on board with that, then move on to the next name on the list! Ben Johnson is another name being thrown around alot on here. Don't know much about him, but my buddy who's a Lions fan says he is the best thing that's happened to Detroit in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over a horrendous NFL team, went to the Super Bowl and won 3(?) Divisional titles. Left, went to College and turned Michigan around. Maybe its just his demeanor that rubs you wrong way, which is fair but football wise I think he's the closest to a slam dunk there is. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more boomer dinosaurs people. 2. He's been out of the NFL for a while. I know he was successful with the 9ers, but the league has changed a ton and he hasn't coached in the league in, what, ten years? 3. He's not easy to get along with. The best teams have a solid GM/HC relationship. He's always at odds with his bosses, which means he may even want total control which is a HARD pass. 4. He burns out quick. He's been at Michigan a while but before that he didn't last that long with the 9ers or Stanford. I want a coach who can be here for a decade+. 5. He's not an offensive guy. I know he played QB but his teams, at least in the NFL, were more defensive oriented. I want a bright young offensive mind that can maximize Howell and our weapons and can give us a gameday edge with strategy in playcalling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 My first choice would be a young offensive coordinator from another team and if that is not possible then Jim Harbaugh. He will crack the whip and also get rid of players who don't perform at the highest level. He would need a smart General Manager to get him some good players too.
