vmax Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I heard Femi on the radio while driving home say that Kirby was his position coach in Arizona and that he was the best coach that he ever played for. He said nobody had him better prepared for a game and he knew what the defenses were going to do. No way do I want Shanahan. This is getting depressing. Quote

This is getting depressing.I hear Kirby's energy is awesome and players love him. I wouldn't be against him either. He could be a guy just waiting to break out. It would be nice to have him stick it to the Steelers. Quote

First off I know people who know him and he isn't like that and they stuck by him when nobody knew if he was going to be able to coach again. He was supposed to be the next OC but with the fire the steelers had no choice but to move on and he fully understands that. Also the steelers could have blocked him from even interviewing. They are letting him try and advance his career and with a division rival at that. Quote

GrubberRaven Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Kirby would have been the OC had he not been in an coma. Remember that? He was in a house fire and 2nd to 3rd degree burns all over his body. Quote

Robjr83 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'd rather have Kirby over Hosteler or the boy wonder. Anyone wonder why Kubiak wasn't considered? Is Harbs afraid of hiring his replacement? 1 Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 If you follow Tony Lombardi, yes, Harbaugh won't hire anyone that could possibly replace him...I think it's a crock. Quote

Anyone could be hired to replace Harbs at any point; Kirby included if he did a good enough job. Quite a reach to get readers by pinkie... Quote

Spen Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 So the theory is that Harbs wont hire anyone good, because they might end up taking his job? Yeah, that makes sense. Real job security is achieved by surrounding yourself with substandard coaches who are not good at their job. 1 Quote
Robjr83 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm just saying Kubiak would seem like the most qualified coach, or even Zorn. The current list seems a little substandard. Quote

That's a real crock.Caldwell, Pagano, Petine, Rex, and Hue Jackson are a few that worked under John and then became HC's. 1 Quote

The current list seems a little substandard. well, perhaps Kubs didn't want the job here, he may not like Baltimore or his family might not want to live here. That is, afterall, why Derrick Mason took less money to come here rather than New englad not so long ago-family... Could be his style of offense is not what Harbs wants, there are many reasons, I am sure, job security is way, way down the list. But knowing pinkie as I do, if it gets peole talking (about him) he will print it..... Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I agree and to add to that maybe Kubiak only wants to be a HC. He might be taking a year off and throw his hat into the HC scene next season. Quote

We don't need a guy who lost his team.You can bet that he's one mixed up man who has lost his confidence after the epic plunge and humiliation that his team took this past season. He was in charge and could not stop the bleeding.He needs to hang on the "Tree of Woe" for awhile, then do a stint at the Elephant Graveyard in Cleveland, and finally find Allah and then he may be ready for real responsibility.

tsylvester Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 If reports are to be believed, it is down to two; Shannahan and Hostler.... oye vey Quote

GrubberRaven Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 if you type his name in google and the preview states he's the Raven's offensive coach...his actual page states otherwise. Quote
