Coaching Staff Speculation/News Thread

[homestarunner93]

I figured we could use one of these since it looks like we'll be getting an entirely new coaching staff. You can post rumors and stuff in here, actual hirings deserve their own threads, though.

it will be intresting to see what happens. all ive seen on espn or nfl ntwrk. was russ grimm or don zimmer maybe marvin lewis. with richardson wantin to hire a cordinator instead of another h.c. i could see it bein grimm. . .

[ReverandMaynard]

My money is on Grimm or Harbaugh. My "pipe dream" is still Dick Lebeau

[polley8306]

if harbaugh goes any were they have been saying michigan.

[HeatPantherSox]

Isn't don zimmer a baseball coach

[homestarunner93]

Yes, it's Mike Zimmer that is the DC for Cincinnati.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is saying Rob Ryan is on Carolina's short list. Earlier in the year I would have said he was a good choice but afer following the Browns the past few games, I hope we don't land him. I wonder if he likes feet as well??

I think he's a disaster waiting to happen.

Some news today on the Head Coaching front:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ng-ron-rivera/ --Interviewing Ron Rivera

SI's Peter King reports that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh will choose between the 49ers and the University of Michigan for his next job.
It appears Oakland and Carolina can forget about the hottest coaching candidate in college and pro football. King mentioned Jeff Fisher as a fall-back plan in San Francisco should new GM Trent Baalke not be able to keep Harbaugh from his alma mater. The Wolverines haven't fired Rich Rodriguez, although there's no question they would if they knew they could land Harbaugh. Jan. 2 - 7:29 pm et

Ron Rivera would be an excellent candidate. San Diego has had a sick defense since he took over, it's just unfortunate for the team that they haven't been winning games.

In fact according to NFL.com, they have the best overall defense, the best passing defense, and the 2nd best run defense in the entire NFL this year. Again, I like Rivera, and the news that he's being interviewed for the job is great news!

[NCBoSoxfan21]

I wouldn't mind Rivera. But I don't want to give him too much credit. I'm not sure how much of that defense is actually left over from Marty and Wade.

Get Russ Grimm. Dude deserves to be a HC.

Rob Ryan sucks. He's not even a good D-coordinator.

[Appstate2012]

Keep foxy! haha all jokes aside, i don't really see the point in hiring a d-coordinator without h.c experience. Wouldn't that be the same thing as hiring another John Fox but a different name.

[JakeDelbreezy]

I wonder if the Rivera interview is just to abide by the Rooney Rule?

I agree on both fronts.

I wonder if the Rivera interview is just to abide by the Rooney Rule?

I don't think so, all indications are that Rivera is a legitimate candidate.
