Oh yes, and Gruden too....again, this list is more for fun. AJ is the type of asshole that would prefer to hire Greg Manusky. ;D WHY, THANK YOU. "Peter, I enjoy your work; MMQB is among the most relevant sports columns around. I have a two-part question. First, there are a number of top-flight head coaches not working in the NFL right now (Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Herm Edwards, Brian Billick and Tony Dungy all come to mind); which ones are most likely to get back in the game? Second, what are my beloved Broncos' chances of landing one of them? I like Josh McDaniels, but yesterday's abomination shows that he's not ready to lead an NFL club, and the team has definitely not bought into his philosophy.''
--Travis, Denver
Thanks for your kind words. I don't think Dungy is going to coach anytime soon, if ever. He loves the family/TV/philanthropic life he's living now. Billick wants back in, badly. Herm would certainly coach again. Cowher is interested if the right position came along. Ditto Gruden, though Gruden would be happy to stay in TV because he likes his life. Don't forget John Fox; he'll be on the market at the end of the year. I still see McDaniels lasting through 2011, but let's see how the rest of this year goes. He's now 4-13 in his last 17 games, and Pat Bowlen is not going to stand for stretches like that.Read more: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/10/26/brett-favre-ankle-mail/index.html#ixzz13cGndc5V |

No thanks on Cowher, Ryan or Haslett.
I like Billick, Fox or Gruden (I don't think he'll coach again though).
Norv's seat should definitely be hot right now.

I like your three as well (Ive mentioned them prior). Gruden said he wants to take 2-3 years away, he really likes his TV role, but done forever in his mid 40's? I don't think so. |

Haslett did a great job in New Orleans with mediocre talent. I'd love to see him get a shot with better talent in San Diego.
Gruden's great short term, but long term he ruined the Bucs. They fell apart after a couple years of Gruden's tenure.
I think Bill Cowher would be a good choice - the Bolts need a hard ass like him, and Cowher's teams were always good. He didn't have the dropoff that Gruden did. Guys still bought into his philosophies years after he'd been in Pittsburgh.

It was time to gut and rebuild. Derrick Brooks, Simeon Rice, Sapp, Lynch, Jackson....they got old or moved on as they got old. The offense was never a dynasty maker. They won with a solid, accurate game manager in the very underrated Brad Johnson, and guys like Pittman at RB, Jurevicious at WR. A solid team, but one that wasn't going to last more than their run. The Buccs decided to rebuild with a cheaper coach than what Gruden would have cost them. I think he could win anywhere with the right personnel. You and I both like Haslett. |
