IMO, Lovie is their second choice as HC. He also gets the Rooney rule interview out of the way. I don't think we'll hear anything about who's up for it until the last minute. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
First choice was Tim Tebow player/coach. but Glazers told him he couldn't play QB so he signed deal with ESPN instead. Oh well, guess we'll settle for Lovie
I really think the Glazers want Shanahan before anyone else, with Lovie as their second choice.
You keep saying this. Do you have any reasonable proof?
Here's my line of thinking:The Glazers know they have messed up with two unproven guys and want a SB winning HC.The Glazers have, in the past, pursued huge names. Parcells, Kelly, and Turner all come to mind.The Glazers know they need to win their fanbase back with a marquee hire.Now who is available, right now, who fits that list and wants to coach?
I don't think the "fan base" should really be a factor, but I think Lovie > Shannahan in terms of impact with the fan base.

I agree with you, I'm only saying that because I remember them being interested in Norv when he was fired. I think they want a high name coach with Offensive pedigree. Kelly was their guy last time and I think they want an Offensive mind over a Defensive one.
I really doubt they hire Lovie. Not with whats going on on offense.
lol after all the reasons the glazers would hire lovie (mentioned on these boards about 100 times today),how do you "really doubt" they hire lovie?and if you say the number 32, you must have no concept of context (i'm talking about sullivan's complex playbook, injury to pro bowl work horse rb, injury to all pro gaurd, injury to WR2, conservative rookie qb)just curious where you get that gut feeling pointing towards "really doubt"??

I don't think he's their top choice. I think they would prefer an Offensive mind.
What about Josh Daniels
What about Josh Daniels
Do you mean Josh McDaniels the OC of the Patriots?
Offensive mind... Defensive mind... doesn't make much of a difference If you can't bring in your coordinators because they've all signed somewhere else. Would be cool with a lot of guys, more specifically in the NFL already. Situation seems ideal for Shanahans personality, Lovie has strong ties to the area. I've never been right about who we inevitably select though, Glazers have a tendency to surprise me. Perhaps not in a good way lately though.
What about Josh Daniels
I don't know... it could work I guess. He'd beat some sense into folks at least.
Browns permitted to interview McDaniels
Vikings looking at DC Mike Zimmer.
I want Zimmer over here!
McDaniels sorry, yes and I would like to see Zimmer, even Jay Gruden.... Lovie is just doesn't do it for me
I just don't think the Glazers have the balls to hire Zimmer..
