If Kubiak Goes, Who to Hire?

And if the Texans hire a defensive guy to be the HC, they better darn well hire a really strong OC to go with him. Because of this, I might lean again toward an OC-type as the next HC... seems easier to plug-n-play the DCs in the league nowadays. A new HC is going to bring a new QB... they're going to be here 3+ years. I don't want another Dom+Carr type pairing starting off.

Edit - ok, just making this a new thread.
Wade would probably be a strongly considered candidate if he wanted the job, but hiring him would make the OC hire super important.

The Chargers and Raiders both grabbed Broncos coordinators but the truth is that Manning is the unofficial O-coord and the real O-coord could win blindfolded. You are going to hear his name (Gase) mentioned but I'd stay away unless Manning comes with him.

The one guy out there I'd drop everything for is Bill Cowher but I doubt he's interested. Maybe there's a third Harbaugh somewhere.

Sumlin. Or Gruden if you can't get Sumlin. A guy known for QBs and offense either way.

Hmmmmm. That sounds familiar.....

Unsurprisingly, a ringing endorsement from Uncle Bob.

@MarkBermanFox26: Bob McNair on Gary Kubiak:"How can anybody get a team playing harder than this team was playing. I don't know how anybody can criticize him"

I saw that quote and could not believe it. How do you say before the season this is the most talented team we've ever had, and then after we lose our 5TH straight, you say, "We played hard." Pathetic.

Whoever it is, please DO NOT let it be Leslie Frazier. That guy makes Kubiak look like the second coming of Lombardi.

Jay Gruden, Marty Mornenwheg, Scott Linehan, Mike Sherman, Brian Billick...anyone?

Out of these I like Gruden the best. I actually like another bangles coach Hue Jackson better I thought he got a raw deal with the raiders.

Ummm. That's the dude that gave 2 1's for Carson Palmer when he was bidding against nobody. Granted different kind of role here, but that shows his intellect. Good desire to try to win vs. Being a dumbass is not a good situation.

I'd rather keep Kubiak over Jackson.

I dunno, I heard Lane Kiffin is available ?

I forgot that Campbell got injured that year and they traded for Palmer. I still like him better than any other option brought up here yet.
In 2010, under Jackson’s guidance, the Raiders offense finished fourth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL in scoring (25.6 points per game) also finished fifth in the AFC and 10th in the NFL in total offense (354.6 yards per game) and second in the NFL and AFC in rushing (155.9 yards per game). The Raiders more than doubled their scoring output from the previous year, totaling 410 points.
