cincity Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 [quote name='FulcherVulcher33' timestamp='1357751978' post='1206731'] We should have promoted him to hc, he leaves this team falls back 10 years [/quote] I really don't think so, I think they'd promote Gunther, As they've said he's very detailed oriented, he's been a headcoach (regardless of division) And he's done wonders with Burfict. If he can get Burfict to buy into the system, I believe he could do well as the DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Harley| Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I still don't think he'll be a great HC long-term. I could see how he could light a fire at first in Cleveland or SD and be the tough hand. But long-term, HC is more of a management and communications role. He's better suited as a hands-on DC.

Le Tigre Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 They just interviewed Mark Trestman for the job. He was their OC in 1989, a known QB coach, and has worked in the offseason with Weeden. If they really want an offensive-minded coach, he would fit the bill.

MichaelWeston Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Honestly....Before this whole thing started I would have said as long as we keep Gruden I am ok. Now with all the names being bandied about I would much rather keep Zimmer and lose Gruden. I feel like Gruden seems more replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defenses are too inconsistent for my liking in labeling "dominant defenses". Many times during the year, when it mattered, the D couldn't get off the field. I value Zimmer and would love to have him stick around, I'm not so quick to think it a tragedy if he does go. And if he goes to Cleveland, he'll be a DC again in 3 or 4 yrs IMO. I think Zimmer may just be a little too volatile for a HC position also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I feel the exact opposite just because Gruden, Dalton and Green were pretty much all "born" at the same time in the NFL. If Gruden leaves, Dalton will be set back significantly as will the offense in general. Having said that....I was VERY unimpressed with Gruden over the last month or so. Like he got Offensive Coordinator's block or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmer is great at reviving guys, but those guys are still bound to slip up. No first round picks on the dline. average LB corp, and guys on the back end of their careers in the secondary, and he had them as probably one of the five best defenses by the end of the year. Their weaknesses finally caught up to them in the playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden struggled this year, but it would be a major blow to a very young offense to have to change any gears, big or small, this offseason.

bengals8580 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Overrated. Our defensive line has studs on it. That's why the defense was so good. Don't care if he leaves. We still can't cover a tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
