I'm content with Pagano for 2017 and just simply improving the defensive side of the roster unless you bring me a big fish out of somewhere or Shanahan. Mcdaniels I don't think is a possibility because I've just not seen Irsay deal much in New England anything other than their players. I have my issues with Gruden, but I know he knows the game for sure. I just don't like the fact that Gruden was in Tampa for about 6 years after that Super Bowl win and they won one playoff game. That bothers me. To me if we had a competent defense last year I feel like we would have won at least 4 of those games we lost. I'm almost certain of it.

coltsblue1844 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I also feel like Pagano's record is more a result of Andrew Luck than of Pagano's abilities. Luck has a huge number of comeback wins, which seem to happen when the game calls are taken away from Pagano and given to Luck. Pagano seems like a good guy...maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I don't really know. But I just feel like he's in way over his head, and looks like a deer in the headlights more often than not. Just out of curiosity, i'd like to see which coaches in the NFL everyone honestly things are WORSE than Pagano?

backshoulderfade Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Really like McDaniels. If the job is on the table, I think he would leave NE for Luck. He has his QB in Indy, unlike Denver. I believe the reciever group is superior to the Pats, and his offense has masked some O-line deficiencies in the past. It's going to take a bit to get that defense up to scratch but with the right D-coordinator and a few good draft picks and FA pick ups, we could win the South with McDaniels.

When I mentioned that Toub was known as a hard nosed/no nonsense guy, that's what is appealing to me... someone that is strict on the details, holds players accountable, knows his Xs and Os and everyone knows their expectations. Most successful coaches aren't known as "buddy buddy" with the players, but as someone they respect, no matter what. I agree that Jim Harbaugh isn't likely to leave Michigan anytime soon, that's why i'm not holding out hope for him...and if Gruden isn't coming back...Cowher/Mike Shannahan etc are so far removed from their "glory days" etc, I just don't see any big name/big fish/slam dunk hires out there... ultimately you're taking a chance on who you believe will get the job done, whether that be Kyle Shannahan, McDaniels, Toub etc...they're all really "unknown" until they become a HC...and then, they're no longer doing what got them hired in the first place, as they almost always hire a OC/DC etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwing BBZ Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I would not give Chuck a C or above grade on player development on the Defensive side. And no more than a C on overall coaching.

I asked in an earlier post for anyone to comment on, but Krunk, in your opinion, which current HC are worse than Pagano and why? Not trying to argue, i'm just genuinely curious to your opinion. Most of that year was BA, but Pagano did coach that year. All those wins were not the responsibility of BA and a lot of the emotion and the way they played was inspired by Chuck so let's not act like he didn't contribute to that season because he did and that is a pure fact. Secondly as I've mentioned before you can have problems protecting your QB in any offense. Russell Wilson gets sacked all the time and he's not in an Air Coryell. Tom Brady got pulverized in the AFC Championship last year and that's not an Air Coryell. Tom Brady just recently got sacked like 5 times against Houston in this years playoffs and there are other examples. Teams have used Air Coryell to win Super Bowls so it's a proven offensive system. Most recently we just had Joe Flacco and the Ravens win a Super Bowl with it. The teams I've seen do the best with it always have a competent running game so you don't have to sit back there and throw the ball 60 times a game exposing your QB to a higher sack percentage. The Ravens always made it a point to feed Ray Rice more than they threw it, but no so much to where we are talking Rex Ryan ground and pound. I think if we make sure we are a pretty competent running team the sacks will go down. You have to invest in your OL and running game to keep the sacks down. Balanced offensive attack solves a lot of the problem, but there are other parts of Chuds approach that need tweaking. The approach to Air Coryell can vary from Coach To Coach. And lets not forget some of Andrews decision making that contribute to the issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masnerj Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 From what I have read about Toub, this is what I have found out: He is well respected around the league (Andy Reid especially, and probably some GMs if they want him so bad). His approach to HC interviews was one where he talked about the HC role being a game manager position who controls all the other assistant coaches and makes sure everything is running smoothly. And he also talked about his STs experience being helpful in that he deals with players of all backgrounds, of all positions, and he has to deal with constant shuffling of players on the back end of rosters during a normal season. Now I am not saying he will be an All Star coach, I can see how his stock has risen with him having Reid's recommendation and love from some GMs. To be honest, I don't want a first timer as our next coach but the market ain't great out there for former head coaches who would still be a great hire. And FORGET about Harbaugh or Saban next year. If we hire a GM this year, they are getting full personnel control and Harbaugh wants that which we wouldn't give him even if he or Saban were to be hypothetically interested in the position one year from now.

#12. Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 People go on and on about head coaching experience. I posted a list a while back of Super Bowl winning head coaches. The vast majority, over 2/3, had no previous experience and won their first Super Bowl within 5 years with their team - most within 2-3 years, just as Belichick did and Quinn now has a chance to do.
