Completely agree.

**** and no. No old retreads. They were run out of KC for a reason.

Al Saunders wasn't run out. He was given close to two million to run the Redskins offense and Vermeil was retiring. That's why Saunders left.

I don't want a retread either, but I was just trying to open some eyes to the fact that the Hunts are running this search and Pioli is just trying to persuade them to hire one of his guys, which Haley was a Pioli guy...or at least worked with him and obviously that didn't work out so well.

Coordinaters and college coaches are crap shoots. I'm not against them, just saying even what looks like a great choice might be a dud.

So, lets limit our options to coaches that are going to be fired this year.

I'd be ecstatic to have Saunders.

My first choice would be "The Jaw."

Fact is the Pats are just a cheap copy of the Steelers anyway.

You push Cowher and Pioli together it's just enough ego-mashing to find a solid balance and perhaps find something special...

I think we should go get Mike McCarthy to groom out new qb.

No way, no retreads either, remember?!

Lets go full reerun and hire 10 head coaches. It will be revolutionary!Q*U!@!!!!!!!!!!

Herm Edwards & John Gruden to scout players for draft day and gush all over them.
Charlie Weis & Brian Billick to game plan and give us a decided schematic advantage.
Josh McDaniels to cheat and give Weis & Billick an advantage in devising their decided schematic advantage.
Dick Vermeil to give players hugs.
Jack Del Rio to punch players in the face.
Bill Cowher to stand on the sidelines and scowl during games.
Rob Ryan to stand on the sidelines during games looking homeless.
Denny Green for post-loss press conferences.

I don't want a retread and I prefer someone young(er).

But if we go the retread & old(er) route what about giving old man Dom Capers a chance with a team that's not an out-of-the-box expansion club? Every where he's been since his last HC job the defense is nails. Plus he runs the 3-4. Just keep him away from the offense.

Year Team NFL Rank Pts Against NFL Rank Yds Against
2006 Miami 5 4
2007 Miami 30 23 (full reerun 1-15 season)
2008 Patriots 8 10
2009 Green Bay 7 2
2010 Green Bay 2 5

I may be wrong, but I thought Saunders left because he was told he would be the next HC after Vermiel left and was lied to.

I still can't believe he traded for Herm...that's like if Pioli were to TRADE for McDaniels.

Is it possible that they fired Haley before the end of the season because they already knew who they wanted to go after and wanted to get a jump on the other teams? That would point to a coach currently out of work or a college coach (or someone already on staff though they wouldn't have needed to rush for that).

You haven't looked at the list of recent Super Bowl winning coaches very closely, have you?

Sarcasm entered the game:
Jack Del Rio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarcasm has left the game.

Mike Nolan could be an intriguiging option. :shrug:
