Who’s your top HC hire if you’re Jason licht/Glazer?

I’ll be honest I think this coaching cycle is super weak. Sadly I think last coaching cycle was the best in a long time with Ben Johnson, Liam Coen, and Mike Vrabel. It was so good Robert Saleh couldn’t get a job and now he’s the most coveted this new cycle.

I know we all want a young offensive mind which is why I lean with Kubiak (he’s really the only option I don’t think Lafleur is ready). I do worry since when he was OC outside of Seattle it was nothing special etc. Plus, his personality is like Bowles a potato.

Kubiak is still better than Bowles and we would likely be a 11 win team with him.

  2. That’s the problem with firing Todd. Who’s your big option? Maybe Klint. Probably need a great OC to work with Baker and not get poached by other teams.

  3. I’d like to go for an offensive minded coach. But if we get saleh or kubiak I’d be fine with that. OC is crucial. Top 3 WR corps. Top 5 RB duo. Best LT in the league. A top 10 line (on paper). And a QB that threw 40 TDs and 4K yards last season. The fact grizzard can’t do shit with that is insane to me

  5. Klint Kubiak, Mike LafLuer, Adam Stenavich some kind of young OC that have had good offenses with lesser talent and come from good coaching trees

  6. Trevor Sikkema mentioned Todd Monken on an NFL stock exchange ep about us recently, which I like. He was an excellent coordinator for us back in the day and has had a lot of success elsewhere, even though the Ravens are a dumpster this year. I wouldn’t mind Kubiak either.

  7. Would Klint choose us over other teams though is the question. He doesn’t get to pick his QB, doesn’t get to really shape the team. The GM will have a lot of power here, where he can have more personnel control elsewhere. No idea where his head is at, but we’ve seen coordinators turn down jobs for those reasons.

  8. Many people talk a lot of about an offensive coach. Wouldn’t a D mind be better to fix the main problems going on? The O can already put up some points. Vance Joseph already has some HC experience and is running a great D. That’s just my thought. I’d rather have a D coach to fix the bigger problem we have right now.

  9. There’s a few good candidates, but if there’s one standout candidate this cycle I think it’s Jesse Minter.

    I’ll definitely take a top DC candidate over forcing a non-playcalling OC into the role.

  10. Kubiak would be nice but I think Mike LaFleur (Rams OC) or Josh McCown (Vikings QB coach) could be solid options.

  13. Bob Wylie. 

    He recognizes his own limitations that he’s not a quarterback and really knows the tactics and strategies that won us two world wars. 

  14. Klint kubiak is one of my top candidates, but he needs to figure out the run game. Is whole scheme is built off it. I need to review his personality, but nonetheless he would be better than Bowles.

  16. We need a HC with a more offensive mindset, and then we need to get an actual Defensive Coordinator who is solely dedicated to that role and nothing else. So I would be looking at any hotshot Offense Coordinator in the NFL right now to be our HC. Someone who is currently doing great things for their team and may be looking for a chance to finally shine as a Head Coach.

    Klint Kubiak from the Seahawks and Jesse Minter from the Chargers are two prime choices at the top of my list right now. And I’m sure a lot of other franchises are eyeing them too. I’d interview them as soon as possible and acquire either of them to get this team ready for next year.

  21. Jesse Minter would be an insanely good hire. Not sure if he’d be interested in the Michigan HC opening though (probably not since I doubt the want any ties to that staff after the whole sign stealing debacle)

  25. I really like Klint Kubiak. I know some say he’s soft spoken but the guy can gameplan. Not every coach needs to be a Rah Rah guy.

    I’m curious about Joe Brady, too. Buffalo fans seem to hate the dude but his offense has been solid everywhere he’s gone.

    Lafleur would be interesting.

    If the Bucs want experience Mike McCarthy is out there- former Super Bowl champion, several winning seasons.

    If they go defense – the only name I’ll accept is Chris Shula.

    Don’t want a failed coach like Joseph or Saleh.

    If Harbaugh gets canned in Baltimore…now that would be a name I’d want.

    I’m not in on Monken or Belichick.

    Gruden wouldn’t be boring – but the league has changed a lot since Spider 2 Y Banana.

  26. Gruden. It’s gonna be Gruden

    NOTE: I’m not saying it *should* be Gruden, just that it *will* be Gruden

  29. Please just be an offensive coach who calls the plays. I know the defense is the bigger problem, but offenses are typically more complicated, and I’m so fucking tired of the OC carousel, leaving us with no continuity. I think it’s easier to replace a DC when necessary, with a better chance of having at least some competence to be average at minimum. Replacing OCs every season is just not sustainable. The recent Super Bowl winning teams had offensive head coaches.

  32. You people saying Saleh are delusional. We need an offensive guy that has some fire, that’s how we’ve won two Super Bowls.

  33. Klayton Adams, the Cowboys OC. Everywhere he goes, the run game is legit. He is not a flashy play caller, but he builds a physical identity and consistently improves the trenches.

  36. The last Super bowl winners were manage by offensive HC. Search for one and not a defensive mind

  37. anyone who wants or even thinks that Jason Licht should be making this decision has fucking blinders on.

  38. Mike LaFleur has done wonderfully as the OC in LA and I woukdnt mind taking a coach from the Rams again since its seemed to have worked previously.

  41. Literally every team subreddit with a vacancy or perceived vacancy wants Kubiak. Bucs, Falcons, Giants, Titans, Browns, Raiders, Dolphins….It’ll be interesting to see which opportunity he values.
