Possible coaching replacements could include the following: Jim Schwartz, Titan DC; Marty Schottenheimer, former Browns coach; Bill Cowher, former Steeler coach; Steve Spagnuolo, Giant DC; or Kirk Ferentz, Iowa HC; Eric Mangini, former Jets coach; and Brian Billick, former Ravens coach.
Also, add any hot college coach, such as Urban Meyer, USC's coach, Oklahoma's coach, or even Jim Tressel of Ohio State. Lastly, add any hot pro coordinator, especially coordinators from the Patriots, past or present.
My favorite is Cowher. If you want him, go after him. Money talks. Right now, he said no to the Browns and wants to talk to the Jets. My second choice is Marty and son. Unfortunately, Marty doesn't want to coach, and he is talking to KC about a VP/GM position. Lastly, I would like to see Brian Billick. He has had some success in Baltimore, and he is more of a disciplinarian than RAC, Romeo Crennel.
PS: If Pioli is hired as VP/GM, don't surprised if you see Mangini on our sidelines or any Patriot coordinator, past or present. Furthermore, don't be surprised if you see RAC back in Cleveland in some capacity.
