Mike MacDonald is the Ravens DC. He'll be a hot commodity this coaching cycle.

Harbaugh is the only name on current/former HC, that would move the needle.

I love DeBoer myself as a UW fan. I don't see him jumping to the Pro's.

Lincoln Riley would be a ******* disaster hire.

Like Pete, Belichick is too old & stubborn. Hard pass.

We'd be lucky to see what Urban Meyer learned from his first NFL stint. He was a brilliant hire who set the foundation for a dramatic turnaround in Jacksonville, but their impatient idiot owner pulled the plug embarrassingly early because oh no he was mean to his grown-ass adult kicker who made millions to suck at his job. He was put into an impossible situation with unrealistic demands.

He's a proven winner who has turned things around everywhere he has been. We need a guy like him who coaches up to the competition, rather than whatever it is Pete has been doing in Seattle this year.

Doug Pedersen ran into similar struggles, for sure

Definitely. Shredded in back-to-back weeks by Jake Browning and the corpse of Joe Flacco. He was given a much better situation than Urban was too.
Urban not only lost games, but he lost the support of the entire organization. His assistant coaches, most of whom are succeeding elsewhere, hated him. He was described as an abusive and unreasonable narcissist, and embarrassed his entire organization by refusing to travel with his team after a loss so he could try to fingerblast young ladies at a bar.

He was an absolute clown show and should not be touched at the NFL level ever again.

What? Arguably, an underachieving, narcissistic a-hole with anger management issues. This as the Seahawks coach?
Yeah, he really "underachieved" making Bowling Green and Utah relevant, turning Florida into a two-time NCAA Champion, and winning another championship at Ohio State while going 8-0 against Jim Harbaugh. Khan had the right idea, but succumbed to absurd media scrutiny for things that really weren't that big of a deal. He hurt a kicker's feelings and fingered a co-ed, who ****** cares? Urban had that team going in the right direction. Giving up on him 13 games in was insane. Rome wasn't built in 13 days. We saw the same thing with the Jets and Pete Carroll. You don't think they'd like that decision back?

All the greats are narcissists. Their confidence breeds success. Jody doesn't have the balls to make that hire, but we'd be lucky if she was that forward-thinking.

Just don't be a defensive HC, and be under the age of 50.

No more crony coordinators as well.

The NFL over the 10 last has morphed into a hyper X's and O's league now. Scheme and QB is all that matters.

Offensive coaches dominate. Defensive coaches under achieve.

Pete gets an "F" in scheme. And it is why he is failing, and any positives you may want glean from him still are irrelevant.

Pete's record without Wilson carrying him is pedestrian and only getting worse.

The Seahawks need to stop playing checkers, and start playing chess.

I would include the Ravens DC-Mike MacDonald & the Lions OC-Ben Johnson on that list.

I'm not sure Quinn would make that much of a difference. He shares alot of the same qualities as Pete. Good DC, but mediocre headcoach that fizzled out in Atlanta.

Harbaugh would be the hire. But I like the idea of a younger up & coming coordinator.
With Quinn we know the D would be good. He'd only hire a good DC mind. I'd also trust Quinn to bring in a terrific OC. He's learned a thing or two as a HC. Also had his team in the Super Bowl, but lost when Kyle Shanahan had a brain freeze in the 2nd half at 28-3. Quinn would be better and wiser in his 2nd go-round as a HC.

Same with Harbaugh. We'd have a tough, hard-nosed team again. Forget any issues you might have had with Harbaugh when he was with the 49ers. He took them to the Super Bowl. As Ahnuld might say, "Screw your feelings!" Whatever else, EVERY game with the 49ers would be approached like an in-season Super Bowl. We wouldn't be getting predictably swept each season.

I remember the same thing being said about a certain twice-fired NFL coach who was snatched up from USC.
Your pfp is giving you away. Everyone outside of Ohio hates the guy
