Randy Covitz: Super Candidates
 

Super candidates

Here's a thought.

As Scott Pioli contemplates the future of Herm Edwards and his 6-26 record of the past two seasons, he might want to consider there are four coaches who have won Super Bowls in the past 10 years on the open market.

They are: Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Brian Billick and Mike Shanahan.

That doesn't include Tony Dungy, who retired at age 53, or Dick Vermeil, who already had his day in Kansas City.

Go back two more years, and there's Mike Holmgren, who plans to sit out this year.

Pioli is not hurting for candidates.

Romanowski isnt on the Super list?

Why do we need any of those guys when we have Herm?

Cowher's said he's not coaching this year hasn't he? I'd say that takes him out of the equation.

Methinks Randy is recycling someone else's ideas:

DV anyone?

we've been down that road...

Burt Reynolds drew up some fancy plays in the 1st and 2nd Longest Yard. Maybe he is on the secret list of coaches?

Yeah lets Recycle.... Instead of the trend of hiring fresh minds...

Bring in the retreads!

I wouldn't mind Billick or Shanahan. I like the sound of Spag as HC and McDerrmot as DC though.

With the exception of Cowher, DCS dubs that list "The best "floral design" for Charmin Shitter Tissue of 2009".


Wipe It!

Retreads win Championships actually, Gruden his 2nd job. Bellichik his 2nd job. Shanahan his 2nd job. As with the coach of the Giants, for some reason i cant remember his name atm. Dungy 2nd coaching job. I think Bill Cowher is the only one recently and it took him what 14 years?

Chiefsplanet is not hurting for reeruns

How was this necessary?

of the last 9 of the last 11 S.B. winning coaches were on their 2nd job.

Nuff said, thread over. (I'll refrain from calling you a reerun) ROFL

Oh, juss Dane bein' Dane.

Mike Ditka will lead us to the Super Bowl!

I see the point about all these guys being on their 2nd jobs. But...

Now, maybe I am in fact some sort of reerun, but wouldn't just about all of these guys be on their 3rd job if we hired them? So, what does this (point about their 2nd job) have to do with anything?

If this is the trend then shouldn't we be looking for a coach who's looking for their second head coaching job? Just seems like a moot point as far as this list of "candidates" is concerned.

The best coach out there right now is Mike Shanahan IMO.

As much as it hurts to say. You know if he came here to KC he'd love to put and ass stompage on DEN and OAK.

And if for some reason LT can't get his game back to par, SD could have issues and will continue to have them as long as Norv Turner is there.

Get some coaches that know wtf they're doing on defense and this team isn't as far off as many people think.

Good combo

meh on billick or gruden


cowher and shannarat are good coaches imo though

Dont want Billick or Gruden. Have a feeling chucky may go back to Oakland.

The fact is, until the last couple or 3 years, the trend in the NFL had been to hire retreads.

But recently that trend has turned.

The SB this year will be won by a coach in his first stint as a HC, and there's a 75% chance that that HC will be in his third year or less on the job.

You can cross Cowher off your wish lists.

He is going to want personnel control, and Scott Pioli isn't going to give that up.
