No coach has enough energy to get back up to the top. Andy Reid will be 55 in March. Cowher is a year older than that and has lost his competitive edge. Gruden is the youngest of the bunch and will turn 50 next year. Billick won because he had Ray Lewis who could make up for that train wreck of an offense. He thought Elvis Grbac, Jeff Blake and Kyle Boller were the answer. They might bring name recognition, but if we hire any one of them then we are consigning ourselves to five years of mediocrity. Billick hasn't coached since 2007, Gruden 2008, and Cowher since 2006.

Does the Harbaugh family have any more brothers?

.

Ferentz would have been the right coach when we had the 2010 staff with Weis and Crennel running things on their sides of the ball. He would be perfect in that role.

My first choice for coach would be Mike Nolan. The guy can put a quality defense out there without a big turnover in personnel. I'm sure he knows someone that can run his system. We bring in an OC that can run a balanced attack that can take advantage of our defense.

You know that one has played out sufficiently when The Onion runs with it. Discard and get new, please.

Petrino still available.

I wonder what my HS girlfriend is doing...

It seems more common that coaches tend toward more success in their second opportunity...so while this list isn't exhaustive, I'm pretty sure each of these guys are hoping to head coach again. I left Haley off the list on purpose. It's a mixed bag on the previous success for this group, with Del Rio and Haslett having the most success. Not a super inspiring group.

Jack Del Rio
Josh McDummy
Jim Haslett
Mike Nolan
Tony Sparano
Steve Spagnuolo
Cam Cameron

Out of this group, its Nolan or death.

Not a chance.

He failed miserably in San Francisco and that was with the number one overal pick spent on Alex Smith.

Some guys are just better coordinators than head coaches.

Still say Jack DelRio would do a good job if you wanted a retread... I bet Josh Mcdaniels winds up in KC

That's your first choice? Jesus.

LMAO

Cam Cameron was 1-15 and failed 4 years at Indiana. He'll never be a head coach anywhere again.

Nolan failed in SF and was even given the number one overall draft pick in Alex Smith. Fail.

Spags was awful in St. Louis and his defense in New Orleans is the main reason why they're 1-4.

Sparano went from "Run Game Coodinator" to head coach because of his association with Parcells. He was awful and isn't burning up the league in New York with the Jets.

Haslett? Um, no. Del Rio? No. McDaniels? Maybe, someday, if he proves he can do something without Belichick.

Del Rio basically quit in mid season and tried everything to get fired. He's just a saner version of Todd Haley.
