I was joking about Capers, but IMO if this coaching staff does not have this team in the playoffs, and they fall to .500 or below by years end then the HC and his defense is gone. McNair can keep Dennison to run the offense and look for a new HC. At the top of the list for new HCing jobs has to be the recycled guys, Cowher, Grudden, Brian Billick, and Dungy (not likely). When you look at the Cowher and Billick, they have a 3-4 background.
There are 4-3 guys out there, but few with a name big enough to satisfy our fanbase and the owner.
I can very likely see our team going to a 3-4, and the guy I would pick to run it would be Wade Phillips if he becomes available, not as a HC but as a DC. He runs an aggressive 3-4 similar to the Steelers, not the more passive style that was run here in the early years.
We are one big NT away from a decent 3-4 lineup.
Now another route would be to look at the coordinators in the league, but that is another thread all by itself, and we are 4-2 right now.
But my current top coordinators to watch, Chuck Cecil of the Titans (4-3), he is getting production from Babin, so he must be watched.

WOW....can we get thru, oh, I dunno, GAME 7 of a 4-2 start BEFORE we start replacing the staff?
Geez, come on guy. We are 4-2, doesn't matter how we got here, we are here.
I am expecting a great game tonight. Can't really say who will win, but I am betting we can match a banged up Indy team better than most think. I HATE that Dallas Clark guy, and am certainly glad he won't be torching our LB's this week.
