Good question that I hope doesn't turn ugly. I voted Brian, because he seems like more of a front man, while Phil seems like the amazing guitarist that may not be cut out for the marquee spot. If I had to KEEP one of the coaches and get rid of the other, that would be easy for me to pick Phil.
 
At this juncture I'd pick Phil, as should most, but I don't think he wants it.

Give Brian a few more years, and let him prove himself, and I think he'd become an acceptable successor. He's brought quite a few things to our offense he learned with the Pats, and improved from year 1 to 2. Let's see if he can continue.

If I have to hire the next HC that would mean my name is Gary Barta. Therefore, I would retire before the coaching hire as a gift to fans and the university. Though if I had to stay, my pick would of course be gender neutral.
Exactly why I want to it be BF. While I don't think he'd be a slam dunk, I have zero faith in that buffoon heading the hiring process on his own.
 
BF, he’s younger and I think he’d hire a good offensive coordinator and PP will stay as comfortable and gets along with everyone on current staff.
 
I voted BF. PP deserves it more, but I want a new OC. And Phil does a real good job with the defense. And Polasek would do a better job than BF, imo.

But you aren’t GB so how hard is it to give a straight forward answer... lol

So you should have voted Parker haha
 
I voted Brian because then we would lose Parker, I would promote Wallace from LB coach (which he excelled at this year) and promote him to DC for Parker since that’s who he has been quietly learning from. Let our new young HC Brian here a new young fiery OC and boom. Would love to hear others thoughts.

Parker probably does deserve it more, but we all know which one of the two has more of a foot in the door, both do, one has more than the other.
 
Hire BF, promote Polasek to OC and Wallace to DC. Hire AJ Blazek to replace Polasek as OL coach and hire Chad Greenway as LB coach to replace Wallace.
 
Speaking of guys like Chad Greenway. I wonder why we rarely see former professional players brought in as graduate students right after their pro careers. Maybe I am missing something, but I don't hear about it being done for whatever reason. The pay isn't anything, but you would think that it would be a good career path move for anyone thinking seriously about coaching.

Why would Greenway come back for graduate school, did he not make enough money?

LeVar Woods did. Hours are long. Chad got paid so maybe he values family time now over 80 hour weeks.
