Next head coach?

[azgreg]

They never recovered from the double doink.

Kickers............

That's not how it works though.

If you're a good candidate you have multiple teams after you. You generally get one shot with making the jump from coordinator to HC, why would anyone smart take the option with the worst chance of success?

I'd have to question the intelligence of anyone choosing the toughest division in football, with huge questions at QB, over a job without those obstacles. Both are major inputs in a decision.

I mean, this sounds good in theory however you’re talking about one of 32 jobs in the entire world one of the 32 most prestigious even if it is “just the Cardinals”

A job that if you take will set your family up for wealth far beyond what a typical coordinator makes(average of 1 million league wide) even on a cardinal HC salary of approx 7,000,000(league average)

And it’s still Arizona, which has a huge draw for climate affordability, etc.

There’s gonna be plenty of candidates more than willing to take the job. Sure not your Jim Harbaugh’s but finding a list of up and comers or re treads that’s willing to try to take on the job in this division isn’t gonna be short.

Well what do you know, there’s only 4 teams left in the NFC…And 3 of them are from the NFC West.

Man we’ve got to get this hire right.

 

[phillycard]

Obviously Harbaugh is number 1, but I’m starting to like the idea of Saleh. He knows how to get wins with a team in the ER and that’s what this cursed team needs.

After last night, He's my #1 outside of Harbaugh.

Because Nagy is a bad coach and the Bears fans couldn’t wait for him to leave?

He had a winning record and made the playoffs twice. The Bears at that time were about as dysfunctional as us.

Not quite as bad but kind of sorta.

He is pretty beige, and I blocked out most of Nagy’s time here. I guess the problem was he was supposed to develop Justin Fields.

 

[slanidrac16]

He struggled in Chicago, so I don’t see him succeeding here.

Until this year who hasn’t struggled in Chicago?
As mentioned his record was 34-31 with a dysfunctional organization. Got to the playoffs twice.
So Morris struggled. Saleh struggled, McDaniels struggled. Does they disqualify them?

 

[Harry]

One of two things must have happened despite the lack of press coverage. The Friday interviews either didn’t produce an outstanding candidate or the Cards aren’t prepared to accept their terms. I like seeing numerous candidates. I just hope the Cards have a clear focus on what this team needs.

What do you think of Nagy?

 

[PACardsFan]

There ain't nobody worth anything taking a job in a division with 3 division rivals in the divisional round of the playoffs, and likely two of the teams in the NFC title game.

Why would anyone with any options take that on?

We're getting some no hoper like Vance or a has been like McCarthy. Heck, even Mccarthy would be a stretch.

I understand the JG hate, but I still think they should have waited a year and changed OC. Odds are instead of one year of JG you now get 3 years of VJ.

Yep!!! The Bidwill family has been guilty of this for decades. But, you’ll never get most of the people on this board to agree with you. I agree though. Just more of the wash, rinse, repeat the Bidwills have shoved down my throat for the past 62 years. He promised us a different approach when he hired JG. He lied….AGAIN!

He had a 12-4 record in his first season with the best defense in the league. (John Fox’s defense was top 10 the year before).

After that season he was 24-27. His second playoff campaign consisted of an 8-8 record.

Couldn’t make it work with Mitch Trubisky or Justin Fields.

Offensive coach whose offenses ranked 9, 22, 29, 27.

Matt Nagy is what you get when you order Mike McCarthy from Temu.

 

[slanidrac16]

I don’t see anybody who got fired this year jumping back into a head coach position with us. The same could be said for the Browns.

I believe they're still waiting to interview candidates who were in games this weekend.

What happened to his offense after his first year in Chicago?

To be fair, who can make it work with Mitch Trubisky or Justin Fields?

 

[Mulli]

He was hired to do just that. And didn’t. 27th in points scored in 2021.

Per ChatGPT.

But he might not be ridiculously bad

Perfect.
We have to start looking at 2nd and 3rd tier applicants.

Do you really think Saleh is coming here? McDaniel? Harbaugh (lol)? Stefanski? Morris? Even guys like Kubiak who seems to be a hot name right now is not coming here. They would all be better off waiting another year.

So what are we left with? Any young coordinator will be up against it and probably over their head. (see Gannon). Not only are they learning the ins and outs of being a head coach but have enough testosterone to not be “ afraid” of this division.

Or a guy like Nagy or Joseph.

You answered your own question.

He’s gonna have less to work with here. Also guided Mahomes from the undisputed best QB in the league to Kyler Murray with Better PR the past three seasons.

Would rather have Mike McCarthy than Matt Nagy.

Are you asking who will be the next Steve Wilks?

My perspective on how to manage the coaching personnel process is very clear.

Living in Chicago their front office was a joke back then. The Bears resurgence started 2 years when their front office started acting like a professional organization.
Until we do that any head coach comes here is doomed.

We will know by the time we head into the draft how serious MBMO are “ turning this around in one year”.
