P.J. Fleck is my choice 

 

I had the opportunity to learn from Fleck when he was at Rutgers I've never met a coach who engages intellectually with players as well as he does. I could talk deep football with him for hours and he taught me me so much in just a few conversations. Fleck prepares better than most NFL coaches, and he articulates and administers his themes and objectives to his players. I have so much confidence in his ability to lead because he combines the rah-rah with intellect and harder technical aspects of Game-Planning. Too many here might only see him as a motivator but he knows football and when you get him in the film room, he can spit out x's and o's on the NFL level. I think he will tone down the cheerleading at the next level because he understands the differences. 

 

The NFL experience is limited to the Buccaneers assistant staff, but he well respected there and really everywhere he goes. The knock will be his experience and youth. He's 36 and has a baby face, but I feel he could be the next diamond in the rough head coach. I normally prefer the quiet, old school stoic types and I would prefer him to be Tom's OC for a few years if I could write the narrative myself, but I don't know if Fleck would leave for an assistant job. 

 

Overall, Fleck represents the balance required to run a football program in today's NFL. He understands traditional football while incorporating new concepts. Fleck is organized, intentional and is an energizing motivator who get's the most out of his players. I know the jump would be hard, but I have a lot of faith in his style for this group. The players came to work for Gus because he believed in them and Fleck would bring the good aspects of that attitude while bringing better operational leadership and discipline to this team that would be the first step in finally becoming a winning organization again.
