I think I prefer Shurmur more than anyone

[rothdawg]

I'm pretty underwhelmed with all of the choices, but I think Shurmur might be our best bet. They could promote Duce to OC and hopefully bring in a good DC (maybe Pettine). Pederson is basically a glorified QB coach in KC and their offense hasn't been good. I don't think Coughlin is a fit at this point.

[AthensEagle]

I'm with you. And a big hell no to Coughlin.

They may be leaning that way.

I'm of the belief they want somebody of the Andy Reid (FF) type and Shurmur does fill that role.

But if you hire him I think you have to bring Bradford back. I wouldn't want to lose that continuity.

Absolutely.

I guess. I'd welcome some fresh ideas in the OC spot, though.

Couldn't agree more.

Just seems like they're really enamored with Duce.

Just seems like they're really enamored with Duce.

I think the jump from RB coach to OC is a big one. It would be better for Duce long-term to get a move to WR coach or something for a few years, but the rumor that he requested the HC interview makes me think he wants to move up quicker than that.

I wonder if there's a way to hire Pederson and still retain Shurmur as OC. Let Shurmur have some autonomy on offense, and let Pederson focus on big picture stuff. I'd be very content with that as long as we got a quality DC.

What I want to see about as much as a new HC is that POS

Billy Davis out of here...IMO from the eye test we couldn't stop anybody...offense would have to outscore people but our defense was brutal and pathetic

[Prowler]

What's the one thing Shurmur does exceptionally well?

I can't think of anything. I'd like to think the next head coach will be really great at something.

[AthensEagle]

If Shurmur gets the gig would he be less inclined to can Davis? That's enough for me to retract my official endorsement.

[CbEagle]

I would put that as a caveat that davis is gone, I like Shurmur he is familiar with the players and can craft an offense with some of the fat fucks and some of chips. It might be the best option right now.

This.

[McCarthy12]

I'm on record as being fine with Shurmur. Bradford would likely stay, which I think is a good thing (until he blows his ACL). I don't think there is any way the next coach keeps Davis. No way.

[3rd & Inches]

U know how igglephans work! U either with Shurm or the Cough! Can't be on record with both.
