Next head coach?

It'll be a fired BM coach. Full spectrum, like the Browns.
Hard to argue with Harbaugh’s record or his QB development. Not sure what he thinks of Murray. I’m also not sure he wants to climb into this mess with an owner that’s not highly regarded. He should have several options if he still wants to coach. I wouldn't be unhappy with him and I know he was on the Cards short list when the dumped Gannon. Still I’d prefer a guy who really wants the AZ opportunity. I doubt that’s Harbaugh.

I am ok with this list as well. Question for you guys, how many times has a failed head coach found success on his second go around? I think Belichek(sp) is one but I can’t come up with any others off the top of my head. I’m sure there are though

Things have changed.
I am so happy we are having this conversation.
Imagine sitting here with Gannon running it back.

Pete Carroll...6-10 in his first season as a HC,...fired by the Jets after 1 year

I don’t understand the Saleh love at all. He’s just Gannon with a personality.

didnt he go the playoffs with Mitch Trubisky?
I know a lot of the board is clamoring for an offensive minded HC. Certainly offenses seem to be the flavor of the day league-wide. Of course being something of a contrarian that might cause a great defense oriented candidate to be overlooked. I’m not saying go defense, I’m just saying pick the best candidate regardless. Why defense? First, that’s where the Cards have the most immediate potential. Second, with no immediate QB solution available fixing the offense will be next to impossible. Bidwill is saying he wants quick improvement. Third, the Cards lost several winnable games last season because the defense collapsed in the fourth quarter. Fourth, if the Cards draft an impact player at 3 it will almost certainly be a defensive player. A guy like Weaver potentially brings an impressive history of developing defensive stars. Fifth, this is short term, but a defensive coach might encourage Campbell to stay another season. Sixth, you can still win games with defense. Houston, Seattle & Jax were the top 3 in holding down points allowed. Seventh a good defense would take much of the pressure off the offense, the Cards’ offense was always playing catchup. Seventh, a defense that produces turnovers really makes the job easier for the offense.
Pete Carroll was fired after his first and only season with the Jets, going 6-10 in 1994 after a 6-5 start to the season. He went 27-21 with the Patriots from 1997-1999, having a .500+ record in all 3 seasons.

I believe so.

Eh. You can argue that both Arians and Whis were that for a while, and then they weren’t. And if they’re not, you fire them after two years.
This isn’t a marriage; there’s no community property. Fail fast. Take big swings. If you’re wrong, move quickly.
Thomas Brown is missing.

What does “found success” mean here? And “failed”? Every head coach basically gets fired eventually.
Dick Vermeil was seven games above .500 over seven years with the eagles. He took a 15 year break and came back to win a Super Bowl for the Rams.
Andy Reid didn’t win a Super Bowl until his second stop in KC.
Mike Shanahan was 8-12 over a season-plus with the Raiders then found sustained success in Denver.
Tony Dungy was 12 games over .500 in Tampa through six seasons before he got fired and won a Super Bowl with the Colts.

Don't want Saleh at all. He's a clown.
Nagy is the leader in the clubhouse, he's bald!!.

I'd prefer an offensive-minded head coach as we're going to have a rookie quarterback either this season or next. It seems like young quarterbacks succeed more often with an offensive-minded head coach than a defensive-minded head coach.

The problem
The guy did have a winning record as a coach, despite having to start Trubisky and Justin Fields. I think you’re thinking of Eberflus.

I think you did a pretty good job interpreting that yourself.
Edit: I don’t mean that to be snarky either. I hope it didn’t read that way.

He won’t be able to overcome the culture here.
We need a strong personality in the coaching spot that tells the idiots at the top to get out of the way and let me do what I know.
Nagy is a JAG Coach.
I am the least racist person you will ever meet. The remark is a reaction to the insincere way this organization works.
In fact I will say 75% of the interviews we conduct can be construed as insincere. It also is a rule put into place by the NFL to make owners play the game. It’s a way to avoid lawsuits.
Poll the site and see how many here REALLY believe Joseph’s has a chance to be our next head coach. The are a number of reasons he won’t be least of all because he’s black. He’s been here before. He was fired. We didn’t like him then and I doubt we’d be thrilled to have him back.
I understand your response but I ask that you consider I’m not judging Joseph’s , color, coaching ability or the man. If it wasn’t Joseph’s it would HAVE been somebody else.
