"Wild Card" Coaching Candidates
 
Apologies in advance for posting this, but it was just too funny not to share...

Quote:

The “Wild Cards”

Drew Brees

Current job: NBC television analyst

The skinny: He’s never coached a down, unless you count his kids in FNA football, but no one knows the inner workings of this franchise better. If you were even going to go down a rabbit hole for a coach with zero experience, here’s your guy.

Nick Saban

Current job: University of Alabama head coach

The skinny: If Payton was reportedly making in the $15 million range, could you throw that kind of money at Saban and get him to leave Tuscaloosa to return to Louisiana, an area he loved in his time here? If you land him, maybe he can hire Brees on his staff and put the two together, which of course didn’t happen in Miami in 2006.

Lol on Brees.

Seriously speaking though, I'd like the idea of Joe Lombardi as HC. The Chargers were very explosive (top 5) offensively.

It helps to have Hebert as your QB but still.

Bahahahaha! Oh geez. Some of that is just pure rubbish.

Andrus Peat. If he retires to take a non-player job he could forfeit prorated bonuses and help get our salary cap to place where we can think about adding pieces. Michael Thomas for offensive coordinator. Taysom Hill for special teams coach.

I was thinking the same thing when people talked about KCs and Buffalos OCs as potential hires. Having a stud QB can make a coach look very good.

That is my feelings on someone like Leftwich, who had the GOAT to run the offense for him.

My wildcard vote is for Kyle Turley, but it is being met with resistance from my son who recently returned from a trip to Jamaica, for some reason his choice is Ricky Williams to lead us forward. Crazy

Saban is going to win the national championship easily next year, no way he'd leave Alabama. I'd take him if he'd come though.

Most people don't realize how made Saban has it. He has literally achieved god status in Alabama. If he wanted to use the cheerleading squad as a sidewalk or a park bench they'd assume the position.

Bring back Jim Mora. He is only 86, in great shape and should be good for 4 to 6 years.

A caretaker who needs a caretaker, I like it!

First head coach that would need a catheter on the sideline.

Mike Ditka is free I believe.

I'm going Skip Bayless (so everyone can complain about EVERYTHING he does)

Skip would want to trade every draft pick in the future of the franchise forever for Tom Brady.

I would eat a bullet if Nick satan came to NO.

Here are my dark-horse candidates I think we should at least think about. We should consider "buying low" on coaches with good experience. Going with the young hotshots with the big names to be elevated is always a gamble.

Jason Garrett - Don't laugh. Coach Clap is arguably a better head coach than an offensive coordinator. I think he can do a better job and be somewhat liberated without Jerry's overbearing influence, and he has a lot of experience as a head man to draw from at least.

Mike Zimmer - Let Carmichael mastermind the offense, and add a good defensive head coach to get the most out of our defensive stars. A brain trust of Zimmer/Dennis Allen/Kris Richard could be scary good for the defense. He's a tough dude attitude-wise - kind of like Mora Sr without the theatrics.

Dark horse?

Mike McDaniel - OC for the 49ers

Speaking of HC vacancies, it appears Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett will be announced as the next Broncos Head Coach.

Potential landing spot for Aaron Rodgers ?

Don't worry. Nick Saban will never leave the college coaches ranks again. He doesn't have the same freedoms to bully players when he's talking to grown men who think they already know everything. Besides, he's a legend in Alabama! Roll Tide!

Could you imagine Saban trying to bully Malcolm Jenkins... lol

It'd be funny if they hired him to lure Rodgers and he didn't come...

It would be funny to me every time I looked at Rodgers' man bun. It looks like he thinks he is too cool for everyone else. No thanks on Green Bays coach or QB. Man bun.....:monkey:
