Who would you want coaching the Cardinals?

[RugbyMuffin]

Bill Cowher.

The Steeler are always at there very very very worst competitive. The Steelers year in and year out field a competitive team! I think is relies completly on Cowher and his abilities to motivate.

NOW in a perfect world I would want Cowher head coach. McGinnis running the Defense, ???? running the offense, and Sullivan back at WR coach.

Peace

you must have forgotten Mac's record as a def coord here in az....Abysmal

 

[Tangodnzr]

I'll just stick with Mac for now, thanks.

Vince Lombardi - we have just about the same chance of him coaching here as Cowher

 

[HookemCards]

If I had my choice it would be Parcells, then Fisher, then possibly Vermiel.

The Cards did have Curly Lambeau by the way. Even he couldn't win 8-16 1950-51.

 

[Stout]

Mike Mularkey.

 

[kerouac9]

I'm going to keep my list to coaches that I think will be available at the end of the season, and who probably would come to the Cards...

1. Dan Reeves
2. Bill Calahan
3. Tom Coughlin
4. D-Coordinator for the Titans.

Hookem:

If we're talking about coaches who might conceivably agree to work for Bill Bidwill, my vote (still) goes to Tom Coughlin. After all, he applied for the job of coaching the Bengals for Mike Brown. In terms of ownership incompetence and frugality, I'd call Bidwill-Brown a push.

Coughlin's gone on record recently as acknowledging he tried to do too much in Jacksonville. As long as he has a vote in--not control over--personnel matters, I'm reasonably confident that he'd field a well-prepared, disciplined, competitive team in Arizona.

For those who agree with Rod Graves that the current Cards roster holds enough talent to play .500 ball, Coughlin would be the litmus test. If the talent's there, he'd find it.

[CaptTurbo]

My list

1. Jimmy Johnson
2. Jimmy Johnson
3. Dennis Green
4. Ray Rhodes


Of course I am only listing any coach that COULD be had that I would like to see here. Ray Rhodes is a stretch but he does do great on D. Something Mac has always lacked.

We don't want Callahan he's not disciplined enough. Gruden for all his faults got the Raiders to cut down their penalties, it's gone back the other way since he left.

Callahan has a veteran group that want to coach themselves in many ways and he hasn't done a good job of establishing he's in charge.

I kind of think he's intentionally separating himself from play calling so they'll fire Trestman instead of him.

 

[HoodieBets]

How about this for an answer, NOT COACH MAC!!!!!!! i beliveve that sums it up. If i could have anyone tho it would be Parcells, always a winner.

Russ:

Aren't the Raiders currently on track to break their own single-season record for penalty yards? By a considerable margin, I believe.

Probably, Callahan isn't as media savvy as Mac but he seems to have the same friends with the players approach and it's not working this year.

he's just not tough enough, I think he lost the team in the preseason when Romanowski attacked his teammate and broke his eyesocket and got a one day suspension. I think that showed the whole team how soft Callahan was.

Romo is now suggesting that may have been due to his concussion problem, which of course wsa said before he was linked to that designer steroid they're investigating now.

If he indeed would agree to the control set-up as you descibe, I think your assessment is right on. Coughlin would definitely find, and be able to maximize, each players talent (as well as ship out the guys who don't belong) and you can bet his team would be disciplined and very well prepared.

Another guy I think who'd do a great job, and would probably accept the position, would be Art Shell.

What makes you think Shell would do a good job? My sense is that he coached an oakland team with mediocre talent to a mediocre record. (But, in all fairness, that is just a "sense," I haven't gone back to look up his records or the rosters of his teams).

 

[jmt]

Grady Little or Dusty Baker would fit in here!

 

[BuckeyeCardinal]

Marvin Lewis

Someone like Lewis.

The Bengals are only a game out of first.

He improved the defense and got a franchise QB.

Both of those things would be nice.

I don't really follow the thugs from the Bay Area, but I thought he had a few pretty decent teams out there (I didn't go look up his records either). I could be wrong...probably am.

Russ Smith would know. Russ?

Here's his coaching records.

2 playoff wins and an average of nine wins per season over six years. I wonder why he got fired ? Those kind of results would merit divine worship in Arizona.

 

[Pariah]

Better than I remebered. I'll file Shell away in the "I'll take more interest when he's here" catagory.

My sense was he was butting heads with Al Davis...and we know who wins that argument every time.

Shell had winning records with winning teams. I think Russ mentioned once that he had solid teams and the feeling was he underachieved with the teams he had but in looking at his career coaching record, can any Cards fan really turn that away? After OAK, he went to KC to coach OL again.

I have always liked Shell and think he would be a nice fit here. I think he fits the Bidwill's mold of a coach...not really going to question front office decisions or ownership. I think his problem was Davis was trying to force certain things on Shell and Shell didn't take to kindly of it.
