Quote:Everyone keeps offering him as an alternative..why do you want him as HC?
I feel like if I was going to give a failed head coach a shot it would be him.. I like coaching trees, he comes with experience from the greats around him and I think his 2nd stint as NE's O-coordinator has matured him. I'd bring him by for an interview. I know it's probably a bit easier to be good o-coordinator when Tom Brady is your QB, but I think he's gotten a lot better at managing an offense with little star power outside of QB/TE
I feel like game preparation and attention to detail are becoming strengths for McDaniels. I think he was too young when he went to Denver. He needed more time.
Quote:No Hue Jackson please, unless you want to ship 1st round pick to the Bungles for AJ Mccarron. Remember Hue's tenure with Oakland.
1. Caldwell would be the GM making personnel decisions.
2. The player he traded for in Oakland was Carson Palmer. Last I checked, he seems to be doing pretty good.
He was the only coach to make the Raiders respectable in the last decade. Now, he has the Bengals as the second best team in the AFC.
I have a gut feeling, Tony Kahn will be the Jags new head coach.

Quote: After starting the season 7-4, the Raiders lost four of their final five games to mark their ninth straight season without a winning record or a playoff berth. A late-game collapse at home against Detroit on Dec. 18 and a 38-26 loss to San Diego at home in the season finale did in the Raiders and ultimately Jackson.
Jackson joined the Raiders as offensive coordinator in 2010 under head coach Tom Cable and engineered a dramatic improvement as Oakland more than doubled its point total and improved to 8-8. That helped him get the job when Davis decided not to retain Cable.
The offense wasn't quite as effective with Jackson as head coach, with injuries to star running back Darren McFadden, receiver Jacoby Ford and Campbell playing a role in the decline.
But the biggest problems this past season were an inability to curb the team's propensity for penalties and on the defensive side of the ball. The team committed 163 penalties for 1,358 yards, setting records in both categories, as Jackson was unable to instill the discipline he promised.
The Raiders also had franchise worsts in touchdown passes allowed (31), yards per carry (5.1), yards passing (4,262) and total yards (6,201), while giving up the third-most points (433) in team history.
Oakland joined this season's Tampa Bay team as two of the four teams to allow at least 30 TD passes and 5.0 yards per carry in a season, a distinction achieved previously by only the 1950 Baltimore Colts and 1952 Dallas Texans. The Raiders also became the sixth team since the 1970 merger to allow at least 2,000 yards rushing and 4,000 yards passing in a season.

We need a coach that has previous experience no more of this Coordinators, spendt he money if u have 2 kahn
Gus bus is done, we all know that. Might be over before week 9. Is Marrone the best available option for this team? I think so. This team doesn't need another coordinator you're gambling on whether they will be a good HC or not we need a guy who has been there and done that and proven he can win as a head coach. Marrone took a Bills team with Kyle Oron and a bunch of spare parts on offense to 7-9. Rex Ryan isn't doing much more than Marrone with arguably more talent. This team has legit talent on offense and a franchise QB. I think with the right DC Marrone could be the guy to turn Thai thing around. He probably can here knowing that. If we keep him he would also be more likely to keep Olsen and the rest of the offensive staff entact allowing Bortles to remain in the same system. What do you guys think?
Cant wait for Doug to take over.
Gus has had way too many chances. His time is done. But Marrone isn't the future.
If Maronne steps in as interim coach and has this team winning most of the games, then I'd say he'd have earned it. But short of that, I'd say he's not the best option unless he can do that.
Marrone would be a good choice for an interim coach for several reasons, two of the main ones being that he's been a head coach before and would still be one if the Bills hadn't written a $4M-to-quit clause into his deal, and that giving him an extended look to see if he's the future certainly can't hurt now that we know that Bradley is not the guy to lead this team back to the playoffs.
Long term, I really like Greg Roman. I liked him in 2013 (along with many others), though I admittedly came around to Bradley pretty quickly after he was hired, but the work Roman has done with subpar QBs like Kaepernick and Tyrod Taylor has my attention.
Goes without saying that Sean Payton would be very high on my wish list if New Orleans fires him.
I'll take any coach over Gus. Except Mularkey.

It was actually 9-7
Id take jack del rio back at this point
He has at least coached a team to a winning record.
Quote:Id take jack del rio back at this point
I wouldn't. I like Marrone, to see what he did in Buffalo with the talent they had at the time is very telling. I feel he would be a great interim, and long term coach somewhere. Maybe even here.
What about John Fox, who was let go by Denver last year? He took Carolina to a Super Bowl. And I don't think Denver's playoff loss last year was Fox's fault. Manning had a torn muscle in his arm.
Not for nothing, but Marrone is supposed to be a very good O Line coach and our RBs couldn't get 40 yards combined against the #30 run defense in the league largely because their D line was in our backfield the whole game. Why are we all of a sudden anointing this guy the heir apparent?

Agreed
