asshatWhat do you guys think about Josh McDaniels?
Bob Mcnair said he prefers a guy with NFL Head Coaching experience. So I guess that narrows it down to the Jon Gruden, Lovie Smith, Bill Cowher, Wade Phillips. Who are some other guys with NFL HC experience that could be available?

I thought McNair said head coaching experience, not specifically nfl.
Are you sure?
I thought he said "head coaching experience," but didn't specify "NFL."
Transcript, please.
I think not wanting a guy because he's won a superbowl before is the silliest thing I've heard when looking for a new coach.
You look at them as individuals and what they are going to bring to your team. That's it.
All that bs about former suberbowl winning head coaches is a dumb stat. It's the same kind if thinking that leads to kubiak support and Matt Schaub devotion.
What do you guys think about Josh McDaniels

Our personnel aren't classic 3-4 personnel. I think we'll fit better with a 4-3 DC than with most 3-4 DCs.
Most standard 3-4 DCs are going to have to address the total lack of a 3-4 NT.

Well.
How many guys have won a SB as a coach and then come back and coached another team to win a SB?
If you want to hire the next George Seifert, go ahead.
What do you guys think about Josh McDaniels?
If we hire Lovie we are gonna need a damn good OC. It also means we're gonna switch to a 4-3 defense.
What do you guys think about Josh McDaniels?
I just think it's asinine to rule someone out because of that. Evaluate their ability.
Mike Shanahan, head coach, Washington Redskins
"What?" you might ask. If he's let go in Washington or if he re-signs but he's asked to fire his son, Shanahan would have no problem with a quick transition in Houston. Shanahan and Kubiak run the same type of offense. Shanahan proved last year he could work with a rookie quarterback in taking Robert Griffin III to the playoffs. If the Texans are drafting a quarterback and Shanahan is available, it's an easy fit.
Ken Whisenhunt, offensive coordinator, San Diego Chargers
He'll be a strong candidate because he's won in Arizona and he's a great coach working with quarterbacks. His presence in San Diego has helped Philip Rivers bounce back after a couple of off seasons.
Tom Cable, assistant head coach Seattle Seahawks
Cable is a master of working with the offensive line, and his zone-blocking scheme would be a good fit in Houston. He has head coaching experience in Oakland.
Hue Jackson, assistant coach, Cincinnati Bengals
Like Cable, Jackson was the head coach in Oakland and does a good job working with an offense and young quarterbacks. If McNair is looking to rebuild the offense, Jackson is a consideration.
Who cares.
How many OC's with the name Gary kubiak went on to win a Super Bowl as a head coach?
You had no problem supporting him.
If belichick, Payton, McCarthy, Tomlinson and harbaugh were fired today, you aren't considering any of them simply because they've won a superbowl before.
That's silly.
You evaluate them as individuals. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't happen. It's just a stat. People make break throughs all the time.
First person to do this, first person to do that... Whatever. You'd miss out on a lot of those "firsts" if no one gave those people a shot.
I just think it's asinine to rule someone out because of that. Evaluate their ability.
I think his point was that using Superbowl wins solely to rule out candidates was a bad idea.
Jon Gruden, analyst, ESPN -- Just about everyone figures he’ll return at some point. Owners continue to check out his interest.
Lovie Smith, former head coach, Chicago -- The native Texan led the Bears to a Super Bowl and was fired after going 10-6 last season.
Darrell Bevell, offensive coordinator, Seattle -- Before running the Seahawks’ offense and coaching Russell Wilson, he was the coordinator at Minnesota and Green Bay.
David Shaw, head coach, Stanford -- The former NFL assistant is so hot right now he can almost have his pick of jobs if he wants to move.
Bill Cowher
No.... It wasn't. That's what I am saying.
He and others (mainly kubiak and Schaub supporters) have been saying for years how no former Super Bowl winning head coach has ever win one again with another team. Which is true but so what.
I think the problem with hiring a guy without hc experience is the break in period. I mean kubiak got better as a coach,because in nfl its not just coach. Its the media obligations,the owner and bean counter meeting. Its not just the coaching aspect. I like Holmgren a lot more than others.
I'm intrigued by Holmgren but is there any evidence to suggest he is itching or even willing to come back as a coach?
If Lovie Smith is the guy then Philips has to go (fine by me) those guys would not agree on defensive philosophy.
I'll throw some chum in the water. Art Brilbeabeatt Offensive whiz, good ol boy network keeps growing strong, you can keep Philips and the climax?
Trade down to about 7-8 and draft Johnny Football. Dun dun duuuuuun!!
Don't believe so. There is however a WCO, QB guy, HC out there who has - Steve Mariucci.
You and norg have the worst ideas in the world. Just stop making suggestions.
Get Ray Horton and bring in a great up and comer as offensive coordinator. This defense needs help and wade is washed up. Horton has been consistent this entire decade so he knows hOw to beat passing teams.

David Shaw is the top of my list, but all indications are that he's happy at Stanford and considers it his lifelong "dream job".
Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 2h
. @McClain_on_NFL says he believes the #Texans will look at Stanford coach David Shaw. He hasnt closed the door on an NFL job. Interesting.
That's fine. Evaluate their ability. Show me the SB winning coach that's out there right now that you think is going to be the first one to break the SB winning coach jinx.
If Belichik gets fired, I hire him. If McCarthy gets fired, I don't. If Harbaugh gets fired, I don't.
Why?
Because that's my evaluation of how successful I think they're going to be in another situation.
I also totally agree. When you don't read what you're saying you think it sounds stupid, but if you actually read it, it makes sense. You're saying those SPECIFIC guys and their methods are old and washed up. They won their super bowl, but they are losers today.
Who are the best coaches in the NFL today? Out of the box thinkers that were given a chance to be what they are today, not re-used washouts. And John Fox isn't a coach, he's Peyton Manning's new ass puppet. Andy Reid and Pete Carroll are pretty awesome though.
Totally disagree about Harbaugh though bro. Both are awesome.
The only thing about Art Briles is he doesn't fit McNair's requirements. He has no NFL experience.If Lovie Smith is the guy then Philips has to go (fine by me) those guys would not agree on defensive philosophy.

With Harbaugh, I'm not convinced that it's not all Ozzie Newsome. With McCarthy, I'm not convinced it's not all Rodgers.
Reid and Carroll exemplify what I'm talking about wrt coaches who had some success as NFL HCs coming back and looking like they have a shot to win a SB.
Someone explain to me the reasoning behind Shaw. I see quite a bit of potential but he has the same "talented OC" background that Kubiak had... and you tell me how that worked out. I'm not saying he isn't a good coach, but doesn't he seem a little unproven?
He's Stanford's head coach.
