Also has a list of Special Teams Coords who might be ready for a jump to HC as well as non OCs/DCs who might be moving up into those positions, giving them a head start on future HC-ing positions.

I've heard a lot about Nagy

We all have. What about that QB Coach in Minnesota? I hear he's the next generational HC.

Toub is my choice there. He actually may be overall choice also.

Bill Belichick, former head coach, New England Patriots No, but I could be talked into it
Joe Brady, offensive coordinator, Buffalo Bills No
Liam Coen, offensive coordinator, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Should have hired him as OC, but NO
Ejiro Evero, defensive coordinator, Carolina Panthers No
Brian Flores, defensive coordinator, Minnesota Vikings I'd actually be cool with this
Aaron Glenn, defensive coordinator, Detroit Lions No
Jeff Hafley, defensive coordinator, Green Bay Packers No
Chris Horton, special teams coordinator, Baltimore Ravens Couldn't tell you the first thing about him
Ben Johnson, offensive coordinator, Detroit Lions YEP!!
Vance Joseph, defensive coordinator, Denver Broncos NOPE!
Kliff Kingsbury, offensive coordinator, Washington Commanders Eh...I get the connections, but I wouldn't be thrilled about it
Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator, Los Angeles Chargers No, but I could be talked into it
Todd Monken, offensive coordinator, Baltimore Ravens Interesting
Kellen Moore, offensive coordinator, Philadelphia Eagles 3 years ago I would have said yes
Josh McCown, quarterbacks coach, Minnesota Vikings Would like to see him in an OC role first
Matt Nagy, offensive coordinator, Kansas City Chiefs You friggen kidding me???!!!
Drew Petzing, offensive coordinator, Arizona Cardinals Meh
Dan Pitcher, offensive coordinator, Cincinnati Bengals Meh
Zac Robinson, offensive coordinator, Atlanta Falcons YEP!!!
Robert Saleh, offensive consultant, Green Bay Packers Nope
Bobby Slowik, offensive coordinator, Houston Texans YEP!!!
Arthur Smith, offensive coordinator, Pittsburgh Steelers GOD NO!!!
Frank Smith, offensive coordinator, Miami Dolphins Not really the guy behind that offense
Steve Spagnuolo, defensive coordinator, Kansas City Chiefs Interesting
Adam Stenavich, offensive coordinator, Green Bay Packers Not really the guy behind that offense
Mike Vrabel, personnel consultant, Cleveland Browns Meh
Anthony Weaver, defensive coordinator, Miami Dolphins Nope

*Jeff Ulbrich (NOPE), who was on our list last year, is currently the interim head coach of the Jets and would have to be relieved of that job in order for us to consider him a candidate. The same goes for Darren Rizzi (From my HS Alma Mater Bergen Catholic so it's an automatic YES cause he's a Jersey guy who won't take any shit and knows ball!), the interim head coach of the Saints.

brasilbear I hope it's okay, we have a sticky'd thread on the 2025 HC hire - I combined the two threads into the sticky thread because I'm sure we'll be talking about this subject for months to come now. Again, hope that's okay with you... I could back it back out into two threads if it's a big deal combining them.

He checks the "He sucks" box, but yeah, will never fly with that personality. Maybe after a partial lobotomy (we ask most of our coaches to do this before we hire them) will cure that

Gruden's last years as a coach were really bad (29-36 W/L). His present gig is a consultant for the "Milano Seamen" a team in Italy with a 4-8 record. They play in a 9,000 capacity stadium that was bombed by the RAF in World War II and burned down. Although, I gotta admit it looks like something Kevin Warren might like if a replica was built on the weedpatch over on the southside space he wants to build the stadium now (the old Michael Reese Hospital site). I would picture Warren saying it's the most beautiful stadium in the world, and Chicago MUST build it on the weedpatch.

Yeah, I could see the Bears hiring old Chucky so the losing continues.

If Thomas Jones engineers a major turnaround in the O (esp w/ CW), then yeah I think you have to give him a good hard look too. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top
