Falconsfan567 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 So if you were an NFL coach and you had your choice of any job which job opening would you want and why?The open jobs are;Arizona CardinalsBuffalo BillsChicago BearsCleveland BrownsKansas City ChiefsPhiladelphia EaglesSan Diego ChargersI would pick the Browns. They have a new owner who used to be a season ticket holder for the Steelers. So hopefully he learned that continually is an important aspect successful organizations have. I really like the Browns talent. I think they are a quick fix. They have made a lot of good draft picks in recent years. I'm not a fan of having a 30 year old Brandon Weeden. But I like what I saw outta him last season. Draft a QB and develop him while getting the most you can outta Weeden and then hand the reigns over in a year or two.Also Cleveland sports fans are great when they have something to cheer for. The Dog Pound is one of the best traditions in professional sports. I think it's the best NFL opening.So what do you guys think? What job would you want?

cnasty Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Browns are one of the best options. I said in another thread that they're a couple of good draft picks away from being at least a wildcard team. QB situation is iffy, but throw in a nice #1 WR, then maybe a decent LB and DB. You've got yourself a team. Edited January 1, 2013 by cnasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bills or Chiefs. Both have young defenses with a load of potential, and plenty of weapons on the offensive side. All they would need is a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga_spider Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Cardinals no doubt. You keep Fitz and have a top five Defense. All you need is a quarterback. And have a top draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 San Diego. Rivers has shown he can be a good QB. They have talent. You can knock AJ Smith, but he was a good talent evaluator, he was just a total **** when it came to retaining the talent. He chased all the elite talent out of town.Bears would be #2. You are better off with a QB, than a place like Arizona. This draft is brutally mediocre at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayoh Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd bet anything that Andy Reid is going to head to San Diego with his own staff and the intention to "fix" Philip Rivers.Arizona and Kansas City are probably the best places other than that, though. Low expectations, lots of talent. Kansas City has 4-3 personnel playing 3-4, so that's an easy fix, plus one of the best OLs in the league, a top 10 WR, a TE with tons of potential, and a top 5 RB. Arizona needs some offensive work, but Kolb comes back healthy and you do a better job of protecting him, Powell, Williams and Stephens-Howling are a solid RB corps, and your defense is elite.

Wise up Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Chiefs..draft geno smith..or trade back and get two first rounds and get a later qb and a WR to compliment Bowe... Their defense isn't shabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy5prings Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Eggles all the way. The owner is willing to spend any amount to get the right front office team. They have a decent QB and playmakers on O. The line was devastated by injuries this year and should be better next year. Their Defense needs a steady coordinator but has good young talent.

I see the Eagles job as a job that is a win now job for 2 or 3 years and then then they'll be facing a long rebuilding job. They have a lot of talent right now but they've also got a lot of age on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ICEMAN Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd say kcMove that 1st overall pick nab Barkly early 2nd maybe take Luke jockel when you trade down and then they really have a good foundation on offense . And yes I'm not solid on Barkly but I'd rather gamble a 2nd on him rather than a 1st overall on Geno both could be good pro's though just not can't miss guy or neither of them is an "elite" talent.

Karst41 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The knee jerk is KC, but a real coach is goint to need a 3 year windowto cycle out the misfits.Draft a QB who will need 2 full seasons, and get yourother playmakers through the draft and FA.KC is not a total rebuild, but some light cleaning is neededand it is never that easy in the NFL.

Sheldon Cooper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The bears, eagles, and chargers are the three best spots consequently having fired the three best coaching candidates to land elsewhere. I think Cleveland will target Reid but I dont know if he will want to inherit that QB situation or live in that city. Cutler could be a tough sell. Rivers may be a diva at times too but that might be the best place for Reid or Lovie to go. Norv Turner might be interesting in chicago retaining the defensive staff unless Lovie lures them away.

muskokas finest © Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Eagles. Winning tradition, good ownership, they know how to draft and have a good talent base in place. This is a team that could bounce back fast if they drafted a young QB talent, while signing a placeholder like Alex Smith or Matt Moore.

slamee101 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 AZ would be the best to me. Good YOUNG defense. Arguably the best WR in the league and solid complimentary receivers & RBs. Clearly need a QB and Oline help.Chicago a close 2nd. Good but aging D. Talented QB, WR & RB but Oline needs a massive overhaul.Philly would be 3rd. Not an especially talented D, bad Oline and will likely need a new QB in a year that the QB draft class is week and a city with very high expectations.Now that I think about it Philly is probably behind Buffalo. None of these gigs are awful though. Often times just takes a few personnel changes and the right coach. We were supposed to be the worst team in the league in 08 when Smitty got here and we went 11-5. Harbaugh had what was perceived as a terrible SF team 13-3 in his first year there. Indy picked 1st in the draft last year and this year they're in the playoffs. You get what in saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're light years away from being a playoff team. They have a good defense but aside from Larry Fitzgerald they are completely terrible on offense.

Lots of young players waiting in the wings. Dumping Asomugha would be a big help.Cards have some talent, but too many big holes to fill (QB, OLT) for a quick rebuild.

autigerfan Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Chargers because they already have a top tier qb in place. The common thread I noticed from all of the firings is that in each case except for SD they didn't have a top quarterback. Turner deserved to be canned if for nothing else Rivers underachievement.
