Fun Game: Pick the new coach

Leslie Frazier, as close to in house as possible while not being in house.

Perhaps he could keep the offense intact while bettering the defense. The Giants run a 4-3 and lost Strahan and Osi (not even trying to spell his last name) and still did pretty good this season. Imagine him getting Freeney and Mathis to work with, along with Brock, Howard, etc.

at first I thought Shannahan, but we really need some work on our defense and Denver’s D was a mess.

Note: I should have included Cowher, Billick, and Holmgren.

But wonder if that would be the best thing for our D. Would he be able to coach a T2 (i.e., are the fundamentals truly just fundamentals)? Would it matter?

I feel like we might benefit more from Cowher or Ryan, who come from traditional running teams… seems that we have the pass thing down, but need to boost both sides of the run game (without tipping the scales away from pass if that makes sense).

Spagnuolo is overrated in my opinion.

Rex Ryan is completely full of himself.

Shanahan would be a good choice but he doesn’t know jack about defense so even though he wouldn’t be directly impacting the defense as a head coach, he still has no idea how to pick a good defensive coordinator.

I don’t know anything about Mularkey.

I don’t think Leslie Frazier has done enough to deserve a head coaching position just yet.

I’m not really that fond of Bill Cowher either. His philosophies are the complete opposite of what the Colts are built around.

And since I’m tired of trying to think of anyone else, my choice if Brian Billick. I can’t believe this guy is still on the market. He has such a great offensive mind, and not to mention his roots lead back to one of the guys who mentored Dungy, that being Dennis Green. He’s easily the best coaching candidate out there, and I can’t help but laugh when I see people like Mangina and that McDaniels guy getting felated left and right. Oh well.

Nolan’s head is filled with so much football knowledge it’s insane. And he’s a class act. He got screwed over pretty good in SF. They had some players, Vernon Davis, who essentially castrated him and he lost the respect of the team because of it. He was done wrong, but I’d love him as a coach. Nice guys don’t succeed everywhere, but Indy is the place for them to blossom.

Or Billick, he’s awesome. And a fiery leader that still respects his team.

Or maybe even…drum roll, come on, someone do it, HARBAUGH! That’d be amazing. If he was at the same level as his brother, woo, think about THAT. I mean if Peyton gets the wind knocked out of him, he’s still got enough in the tank to sub in for a few plays too and pull out some old school Cinderella stuff.
