The coaching search is on.
I know Shanahan would do wonders for the offense, but I'm not sure he's a great leader of men, and that's an area this team was severely lacking in this past season without Peyton's leadership. I worry he might be too much like Josh McD. Not the dictator side or the whole Napoleon Complex. Just his youth and tendency to be more about X's and O's than a guy who can bring a group of men together.
Joseph is intriguing as he seems to be a great leader who can relate to and gain the trust and respect of his players. I do worry about losing Wade but Joe Woods has obviously done an amazing job with the No Fly Zone and seems ready to assume a larger role and more responsibility. It would be a seamless transition I imagine since he'll probably keep the defensive philosophy the same. All signs point to McCoy coming back as OC if Joseph is the guy, and I think he would definitely help get the offense back on track and be great for both Paxton and Trevor. I just worry if Joseph might have a little too much John Fox in him. But, nonetheless, he's my first choice.
Dave Toub is intriguing but I'll admit I know next to nothing about him, other than I've heard good things. The upside is I believe he'd be more likely to keep Wade around, but Wade might leave no matter what given the allure of coaching with his son in Washington. Toub is almost certainly more in the Joseph mold than the Shanahan mold. A great leader who as a coach will be more of a delegator--an approach that can work great if you have great coaches beneath you.
