Quote:Just to update now that Black Monday has come early this year. In no particular order I'd like:

 

Dave Toub, Special Teams Coach, Kansas City - This guy has grown on me these past few weeks but I love Offensive Linemen that turn to coaching and I like the success rates of Special Teams' coaches becoming Headers. See; Reid, Andy and Cowher, Bill. O line guys just seem to understand the game from a fundamental level and Special Teamers have to love the game.

 

Russ Grimm, Offensive Line Coach, Tennessee - Although he'd need an extended shower replete with abrasive chemicals in order to get the Tennessee stink off of him, I've always liked the idea of Grimm as a Head Coach. He also fits Deacon's "former Offensive Linemen" profile as well.

 

Teryl Austin, Defensive Coordinator, Detroit - Just look up anything D6 has stated about him. He seems to be the real deal. Also, he's gone to the Super Bowl as a coach three different times; with Seattle in '06, Arizona in '09 and Baltimore in '11.

 

Deacon,  in yesterday's Detroit Free Press,  there's a new article about Teryl Austin that I think you and many others would like.  It relates to some of my previous thoughts about Austin.  One thing for sure,  Austin's high caliber coaching skills are needed with lead CB Darius Slay's hamstring situation and the problematic situation at Nickel CB since Quandre Diggs went down for the season at New Orleans 15 days ago:
