One thing I am not going to do...

[Scooch]

...is participate in the game of Name A New Head Coach Roulette that is being played here.

People are going to lose their minds advocating for "their" candidate and passionately shouting down candidates they don't want. It's a time-honored message board exercise that is going to result in a ton of pointless arguments, a ton of needless anxiety, and a ton of wasted bandwith.

Plus, the vast majority of rumored replacements that will be reported are names being planted by agents.

But that's just me.

Scooch, what is your guess on when we will finally close the process and name a head coach? I imagine ASAP?

Without pointless arguments, needless anxiety, and wasted bandwith what the hell is the point of fan message boards !?! ; )

Exactly.

I would imagine sometime between now and next August.

Seriously, you're asking the wrong guy, I know nothing.

I'd bet within 10 days of the end of the season.

Yeah, kind of like Troy Nunes (the actual player, not the blog) tweeting that Matt Patricia better get a call. Really? He'd better get a call? You actually think there is a chance of him leaving the Pats for a college job and not staying for an NFL HC job?

 

[cuseguy]

It's going to be a guy from the West coast with ties to Coyle.

So, if you want to speculate, start your list there.

People lose their friggin' minds at times like this.

It reminds me of the worst sports talk radio trade proposals... "Yeah, I got a trade idear...what if the Sawx trade those two kids from single A, and Pablo Sandoval, to the Angels for Mike Trout and Albert Pujols? I mean, come on, its a no brainah!"

By the way, the other nice thing about not playing that game is that years from now some weirdo, creepy, stalker won't be able to dig up a post I made arguing that we hire somebody. Not that anyone here would ever do that.

:crazy:

No good can come of getting too attached to anybody right now, agreed.

That said, I am really excited about some of the possibilities.

Besides, the last time we went west to a guy with no East Coast ties it worked great !!

And when we hire that West coast guy, no matter his background, many will call it a great hire.

Hope so!

Or it won't. But it'll be a decision made by a different guy under different circumstances.

I'm saving this post.

eek!

we'll never do anything on offense as long as we keep hiring guys that northeast meatheads like. they all play outside in the mud and want someone like them

Apparently one thing I am not going to do today is work. Thanks Mark Coyle!

 

[JrodCuse]

Please lord no Bellichek disciples. Name one that has actually been successful after leaving the Pats?

Also Schooch, now that you've said you won't do it, who's your #1 coaching target?!
