ASFN Lifer
He sure didn't know how to in Cleveland.
All the more reason to hire him if he was available. He learned from his mstakes. Takes a smart and humble man to do that.

The next thing you'll be saying is that you'd take Leonard Davis as your starting LT. Those are 2 things that aren't allowed to be said here . You're going to get about 20 responses of how terrible each guy is.
I don't understand the fascination with Fisher. He's a pretty good coach but his credentials are probably less than Green's were when he was hired and people griped about Denny.Fisher has the one Super Bowl appearance but, other than that, his record isn't overwhelming. In fact, he has been on the verge,much like Green, of being fired a few times but his team rallied and saved his job. He could turn to be a great hire if it would happen but he is, by no means, a slam dunk to be successful. I think alot of people are assuming Green is going to be gone. I'm not so sure. If Leinart performs like alot of us expect and shows signs of being able to turn it around then i think DG will buy himself another year. I don't necessarily agree with it but i think that well may be the case. One thing about Bidwill, and some say it's cheapness so he doesn't have to pay a buyout, is that he usually let's a coach hang around than what is expected. It all depends on who Michael Bidwill supports and thinks is better for the franchise, Green or Graves. I see one of them being let go and the other staying on.
Honestly, I'd rather look for a different offensive coordinator.
Denny Green is not the one calling the plays.
Yeah, I want Jeff Fisher....a guy who has lost control of his team and has actually made them worse than us!
(Note - The guy could still be DG - He still has 12 games to save the season).
Why wouldn't they both be let go? Who would you choose for a HC as asked in the original question?
I just think one of them survives and one goes. I'm just basing on a gut feeling. The last time, and only time i can remember, the Cards totally cleaned house was with Buddy Ryan and that didn't work out. For some unknown reason the Cards like continuity even if it's in a bad way.Plus, i don't think Bidwill likes firing people and not only because of monetary reasons. If Green does go then the HC i'd like to see is Ron Rivera from Chicago. That Bears defense plays hard every game and he was a former successful player that is well regarded in the coaching circles.

Buddy Ryan is the only one I remember who was really fired with more than a year remaining on his contract. It seemed like Tobin was fired with about 6 games remaining in the season and Dave Mcginnis was just not resigned to an extension. I can't really remember Bugel or Stallings though.
