Texans should consider Zimmer as head coach


Recommended Posts

 

After the firing ESPN put up a list of a dozen names that might be HC candidates, and none were named Zimmer.

 

Of note, Hue was on the list.

 

 

because Houston has a good defense and needs to develop an offense and QB. Zimmer doesn't have a clue how to do that. There is almost no chance they would waste a HC job on a defensive minded coach.

Zimmer would be a great choice but doubtful that he would get selected.  Hue Jackson could be his offensive coordinator.

Zim would just beat them up daily until the offense improves.

He was already coaching the team when Kubiak was out. They aren't going to go with their 3rd HC this season.If you think Wade Phillips has a chance to be their HC next year then you are insane.

 

 

They will be drafting a top QB in the draft and will be hiring a good offensive mind that they believe can work well with a young QB.

Norm Turner!   he's worked with three or four just this year in Cleveland.

Replicating technique is one thing, but getting inside the mind of Zimmer is another.   The plays he calls, the schemes he devises.....sure he gets input, but ultimately it comes down to what he wants done, which play he wants against a particular formation or personnel group. 
 
I think the blow can be softened by promoting from within, but I would imagine there will be a noticeable difference in efficiency on defense.  He puts players in position to succeed......


Yep. It's all about respect and motivation. How do you make PAC man jones, vontaz Burfict and geno Atkins all with varying personalities all buy in. No way I would trust Gunther or carrier to be able to do that.

Of course Zimmer is worthy of a head coaching job

But do you think he could leave this team, now , with several more games to go

a real chance to do something special..

He's under contract, let him finish that and reluctantly we may have to say goodbye


Do you think its possible that some writers want something regardless of the damage

even the consideration might bring as a distraction to us?

I tend to distrust everyone outside of this city this time of year,

its a mind game we have to avoid playing..stay focused and let what comes after

be the reward of ignoring everything else .. along the way

Maybe. Baltimore has a long line of defensive coaches and that unit was consistently tough due to the foundation of players.


Agreed. And for the most part, they replace the guys they lose from within. Nolan replaced Marvin, Ryan replaced Nolan, Mattison replaced Ryan, Pagano replaced Mattison, Peas replaced Pagano.

This is the annual coaching carousel musings these hacks begin to do this time of year. All of the fire/hire bullshit. He heard it last year around this time too. He is focused, so is the team, so not to worry about the ramblings of the media circus clowns.

McNair said he'll hire a coach with previous headcoaching experience and an NFL background. Sounds like Jon Gruden, Lovie Smith, Jack Del Rio, etc.

 

 Zimmer would be an ideal hire for a team whose defense needs help more than the offense. It would also have to be a team where the coach is on the hot seat. 

 

So in the AFC perhaps:

 

Raiders but they probably need offensive help more

Chargers but they might not make a change

Titans probably get a new coach but need offensive help

Jaguars probably keep their coach

Jets need offensive help

Bills have a first year coach

Dolphins need offensive help if they change

Browns need offensive help and will probably keep their first year coach

 

So only San Diego in the AFC looks like a good fit and their coach isn't especially on the hot seat as they chase a wild card slot

 

In the NFC:

Washington Bingo

Dallas Bingo again

Giants probably keep Coughlin

Minnesota maybe. Need offensive help more

Detroit maybe if Schwartz goes

Tampa maybe

 

Several possibilities in the NFC. Dallas might be a possibility if Jerry Jones enjoyed working with Zimmer previously.

Dallas is in first place, and their defense is OK...no go.

Danny went all in on Rat Shanahan and RGIII...doubtful.

Detroit is also gunning for a division title and the playoffs. What sense would a coaching change make?

Tampa maybe...but they are playing a little better for Schiano of late.

All AFC coaches stay...other than maybe Miami. And if they make or come close to the playoffs, that one is out too.

Houston Texans likely to target David Shaw, columnist says
Daniel Kim
NFL.com

With his success at Stanford and his experience coaching in the NFL, David Shaw has become a hot commodity at both the college level and the NFL. With Friday's news that the Houston Texans have fired Gary Kubiak as their head coach, Shaw's name has again been thrown into mix for a coaching vacancy.

Appearing on NFL Network, Houston Chronicle columnist John McClain said he believes Shaw will be a prime candidate to replace Kubiak in Houston.

"There's going to be a lot of candidates," McClain said. "Shaw has an NFL background, NFL pedigree. He could leave Stanford for just about any job he wanted, but the Texans, I know, will check him out as well as Lovie Smith and some others.

"I think the fact they want someone with an NFL background is very telltale," he said. "That rules out college head coaches that have never been in the NFL."

Shaw has had stints as an NFL assistant coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and most recently the Baltimore Ravens. He was the offensive coordinator at Stanford from 2007-10 under Jim Harbaugh, now head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, before taking over as the Cardinals' head coach in 2011. Stanford has gone 33-6 under Shaw, including a 10-2 record this year.

Stanford meets Arizona State on Saturday in the Pac-12 championship game.

Earlier this season, Shaw was mentioned as a possible candidate for head coaching jobs at USC as well as Texas. He denied having interest in both jobs.

Well none of those guys will get fired this week. But at the end of the season there will be some disappointed owners. If Philly wins the NFC East, then Dallas and Washington probably both make changes. Same thing in Detroit if they flame out.
