Peter King coaching candidates for 2013
5. I think these sound like the top five college coaching candidates for NFL head coaching jobs, per chats with front office people in the last two weeks (in order):
1. Chip Kelly, Oregon 2. David Shaw, Stanford 3. Brian Kelly, Notre Dame 4. Kirk Ferentz, Iowa (even coming off the bad season at Iowa, he's well-respected in the NFL) 5. Doug Marrone, Syracuse. I didn't include Bill O'Brien of Penn State because (and call me naïve) I can't see him preaching love of, and loyalty to, Penn State, and then leaving after 12 months. But never say never in this business. 6. I think these sound like the top 10 NFL assistants who will get sniffs for head coaching jobs in the league next year (in order): 1. Mike McCoy, Denver offensive coordinator 2. Mike Zimmer, Cincinnati defensive coordinator 3. Vic Fangio, San Francisco defensive coordinator 4. Perry Fewell, Giants defensive coordinator 5. Dirk Koetter, Atlanta offensive coordinator 6. Dave Toub, Chicago special teams coordinator 7. Bruce Arians, Indianapolis interim head coach/offensive coordinator 8. Ray Horton, Arizona defensive coordinator 9. Kyle Shanahan, Washington offensive coordinator 10. Clyde Christensen, Indianapolis quarterbacks coach. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...-12/index.html |

If Pioli remains in KC, hes probably the only option on that list.

I doubt Ferentz leaves Iowa. He's owed something like 20 million so they can't fire him. I do fear that he could be lured away, which is a total Pioli move. I like Ferentz. But he's more of a GM than a HC IMO. He's only as good as his coordinators are. Just look at the Hawks this year. He's not the guy to turn things around in KC. |

Ferentz would make RAC look like an Arena coach.
Greg Schiano's success has made the hiring of a college coach more palatable. I'd love Kelly (either one) or Shaw. I'd like McCoy or Roman. |

That's BS on Ferentz. He's conservative (far too conservative) but he isn't historically-bad-offense conservative. Not even close to the suck that is Daboll and RAC. Not even close.

Jim Harbaugh says hi.
It's not about where they come from. It depends on if that particular guy is good or not. That's just like saying never draft a USC QB because others 10 years ago have failed. (when there's different players, different coaches, etc) It just doesn't make sense. |

I think we've tried the recycled NFL coordinator failing on the Peter Principle. Give me a successful head coach a lower level over them.

Gotta have Greg Roman on that list, too.

As assistants go, I like fewell, fangio, and Horton. Don't think its the route we should go, however.
