Betting odds for the next Detroit Loins HC

Love me some Detroit Loins

I don't see Harbaugh in Detroit.  If he goes to a total rebuild, it will be for Woody in NY.  I still think the Chargers are his desired spot.  Has connection to Spanos, has an indirect connection with Telesco through Greg Roman (could they reunite??) and its a younger squad that he can mold a bit.  It is a win-win as his wife is a fan of Cali.

The Lions need someone who can be a culture-changer. There are a number of candidates who are obviously good coaches, but the Lions need to start from the ground up inside the organization. That's why it seems like Saleh should be the guy. Very strong leader in addition to be an adept coach.

Bring in Louis Riddick and get out of the way.

Fun fact: Robert Saleh would be the second Northern Michigan University grad to be the head coach of the Lions (joining Steve Mariucci). That's a lot of NFL head coaches for a school the size of NMU.

Another fun fact: According to my research, Jim Harbaugh is the only former Michigan football player to be a head coach in the NFL. There have been 503 head coaches all-time in the NFL, and he's still the only one who played here.

Although he’s always been seen as a college coach, why not give Urban a call? The league is now more spread focused than ever. Is it because maybe his ability to dominate in college also relies on athletic mismatches that you’re unlikely to have in the NFL?

Bienemy is ticketed for Houston.

The Jets will hire some dumb retread again, maybe even McDaniels.

The Chargers and Jags jobs will likely be open as well. I think Nagy, Fangio, and Pederson both get one more year.

The Lions have a great opportunity here. Saleh has some appeal as a hometown kid, and he might retain Bevell as his OC. That would be the play if you're holding on to Stafford.

If you're committed to completely starting over, you hire Kirchener from Seattle as your GM, and lean into a new QB and offense with Wilson from BYU and either Joe Brady or Arthur Smith as HC.

No "big name" will be returning Sheila's phone call, I'm afraid, as long as Wood is there.

Saleh or Bienemy is the answer.  I've written this before that I think Harbaugh is better suited for the NFL because game theory wise what he wants is more applicable than in college - I think you can still win in the NFL with a ground oriented offense paired with a ball control philosophy (see Tennessee) because it is not practical to expose a roster of 60ish players in a 16 week schedule against other pros and try to use an extremely fast paced offense, which is something Harbaugh clearly has no interest in.  That said, it's clear he is no longer a QB whisperer so to me he is no value coaching in the NFL or big-time college ball.  

I don’t see Harbaugh getting a job in the NFL. His shine as a head coach has worn off, and that’s before any team does it’s due diligence in uncovering everything on him, which means they’d prob know what “happened” to him over the past few years. Whether medical or not, that will prob turn teams off of him being a head coach. He’s also not going to be wanted for an OC role either.

IMO, he either signs an extension at Michigan (Gross!) or goes on to coach at a lower FBS school if he continues coaching past this year. 

I don’t think Beinemy is the right fit for the lions. Nor would he take the job. Lions look like more of top to bottom rebuild. Beinemy makes a lot of sense with Houston with Watson. Lions should go for Saleh.  

Same ol Loins.

JH will not be the Lions HC. JH only possibilities would be the Jets or the Bears. Just watching how JH's personality has changed over the past couple years, I think he knew he would make a jump to the NFL and I think it will occur in December or January. What are the best betting odds for Michigan's next coach?

Perfect stadium chant: "Gird Them Loins!"
