NFL Coaching Carousel

Who were you wanting in there? And what did you think of Ron Rivera as a candidate?

 

Just curious for a Cowboy fan perspective.

 

I had never settled on one candidate. I could see pros and cons of both. Of the people they interviewed, I think I like Phillips the best. I'm just nervous with Garrett and the offense. He may do great, but it's a huge unknown. I would have loved a situation where Norv returned as an OC as I like his play-calling. I'm just not sure he can be an effective HC.

 

My concern with Rivera was that the Cowboys have spent the last three years making the switch to the 3-4. I'm not sure we have the personell to go to the 4-3, cover-2 scheme right now. Rivera likely would have made that switch, and I'm not sure that would be a good thing right now.

 

One thing I like about Phillips is that with his age, it will be easy to hand the job over to Garrett when (or if) he proves he's ready.

 

I was intriqued by the idea of Singletary as HC.

 

Rivera isn't a cover-2 guy (Lovie is) but definitely a 4-3 guy.

Rumor has it that Phillips will sign a 3-year deal. Press Conference for 5 PM. I'm eager to see the terms as I've heard rumors that Jones low-balled him in the negotiations knowing how badly he wanted the job.

 

Garrett will be OC, but for next year Spano will call the plays. Bets are on that Bowles will be the DC, but there still is some talk that Phillips will bring in some of his own people.

Looks like a better decision than Norv from where I'm sitting.

 

Especially after the Garrett hiring.

 

It's still kind of blah though. Wade's at least got some success as a HC in his past.

This isn't quite a coaching move, but it's also not worth making a new thread.

Just curious to know if any Packers or Seahawks fans know anything about the Titans' front-runner to replace Floyd Reese at GM.

His name is Mike Reinfeldt and he's been in both the Green Bay and Seattle organizations.
