With all the talk of potential coaches, what do you think of Tony Dungy as the new head coach? Would he do it?
-

I think he would be great as a GM!
-
No thanks. He still thinks douch bags like Mike Vick can be rehabilitiated and are owed a second chance. Screw that crap, we don't need him trying to save the world one thug at a time from South Beach, we want to restore this franchise to glory.

Dungy dropped three names he'd consider for head coach:

Wow, another vote for Jay Gruden.
As for Chip Kelly, when Jon Gruden began raving about the spread (after he got fired) and vowed to bring it when he returned to the sideline, it was after he'd spent a week with Kelly. It got to the point where Kelly offered Gruden the chance to be his OC for a year, and Jon nearly took it.ssmiami likes this. -
Look at his last season in Indy. One way Jim Irsay got him to come back was to let him fly home to Tampa on Thursdays on the private jet. The Dungy family never relocated to Indy after he was let go by the Bucs in 2001.
Tony was already halfway out there door then.dolfan7171 likes this. -

Just an example of some plays they live off of. In fact I think I could argue fairly successfully that this is no different than Tom Osborne's offense throughout the a majority of his career and started to evolve to in the late '90s. Spread the field with nasty speed, make defenders think too much, give them 1 play out of 6-8 different looks, and play action once they are selling out to stop the run.
Better yet, straight from a man who won TO his last MNC none other than the current WR coach for the Oregon Ducks, Mr. Scott Frost

Much of Chip Kelly's scheme is already seen in the NFL. For example, I notice GB running Oregon's spacing/draw concept (it could be a stick/draw as those are fairly close in appearance) all the time. So it has already been proven that his scheme would work in the NFL. His Xs and Os are not the question. The concern with him and any other guy without NFL experience is mostly about handling NFL players vs. handling college players.

Unless Miami has a different owner sometime soon I expect a really stupid choice as new head coach. Can anyone say Eric Mangini?
-
Also remember, this is a coach that Jon Gruden wanted to study so bad he almost took a job under him...Pretty cool if you ask me...This Dungy report is so random that it makes me think that Kelly has put some feelers out. -
College coaches are always a huge risk - it is just such a different environment between college and the NFL as so many guys have found out.
Jay Gruden's name seems to be popping up more and more though. He would definitely be an intriguing choice. -
Just posted the same question on Dungy in another thread before I saw this thread. I could really get on board with hiring Tony Dungy for our HC if he would take the job.

I think it would be difficult to lure Chip Kelly away from the the Goddess of Victory.....

No.

I had also asked the same question a few weeks ago and I think he would be a good choice but I really don't see any situation he would want to return to coaching. i am not real big on Cowher or Gruden, but Fisher I could warm up to. Now Jay Gruden I could get on board with him. -
My God not Tony Dungy. Have we really fallen so far?
