CaptainHook Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Arians would be a good hire. Playing with emotion only gets you so far. He did a great job with the Colts this year. However, I don't see him giving up playcalling. He's an offensive coordinator. That's what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is will he be allowed to that when he is hired? It seems that more and more owners/GMs are controlling what the coaches do, instead of just hiring a HC and letting them do what they want (hiring assistants, calling off/def plays, etc.).

stevegrab Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Mile Mularkey has been fired by the Jags, who recently hired a new GM (David Caldwell) http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/544821/ryan-ohalloran/2013-01-10/jaguars-fire-head-coach-mike-mularkey So I guess we can add him to the list of candidates for vacant HC jobs.

tazinib1 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Who called the plays while he was filling in for Pagano? Arians did. When Bruce went to the hospital and missed the Ravens game, QB coach Clyde Christensen took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Apparently Montreal Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman is heading to Chicago to be the Bears new head coach. This is according to a tweet from Jimmy Johnson at Fox but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In related news, the Chargers are interviewing Lovie Smith today. I believe Telesco is complying with the Rooney rule here. We don't want Lovie in San Diego.

I believe Telesco is complying with the Rooney rule here. We don't want Lovie in San Diego. Interesting, most teams take care of the Rooney rule early on, often interviewing somebody that has no shot at actually getting the job. Every year there are 2-3 guys like that, Ray Horton (ARZ DC) was one this year. They may have some real interest in Lovie. You and some other fans may not want him, but you know the owner/GM really don't care about that. (People in CLE were not dancing in the streets for Chudzinski, but what are we going to do.)

Well considering Telesco was just hired, they have not really interviewed anybody except Seahawks DC Albert Breer on Thursday with Lovie interviewing today. Other names on the Chargers list include: Ken Whisenhunt Greg Norman Mike Zimmer and of course Bruce Arians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think you will be pleasantly surprised with Chud to be honest. I'm not saying he cannot succeed, I just think we were hoping for an established head coach, not another former assistant from various teams that was never the top man. But then as others have pointed out to me, Tomlin, McCarthy and Payton were are in similar situations. I'm just tired of the constant change, and really hope the team gives him time to succeed, not another fire and hire in 2 years, its been a ridiculous 14 years since their return in 1999. Our 6th full time HC in that short time, with only 8 prior to that (covering 40+ years). Hitting the reset button every few years is no way to succeed in the NFL.

Chief Dick Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I just have this weird feeling Arians is going to be a bust of a head coach. He did a good job this year, but not sure he's really HC material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have no idea why a team, or its fan base, would be dissatisfied with Lovie Smith as HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have no idea why a team, or its fan base, would be dissatisfied with Lovie Smith as HC He's the defensive version of Andy Reid. Poor in game management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) He's the defensive version of Andy Reid. Poor in game management. Pretty much. Might as well have a cardboard cut-out standing on the sidelines. As for Trestman, I'm on board. The guy's had some ringing endoresements from folks that know what the f is up.

tazinib1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Chargers are expected to interview both Mike McCoy and Jay Gruden. I'd actually be happy with both if we cannot get Arians. Jay Gruden has a connection with Telesco. He was a top candidate for the HC job last year in Indy.
