list of coaching replacements you would want...limit one per poster

[My Cousin Vinny]

Vince Young!

[Sampten]

Bruce Arians as the actual HC.- Indy has through unforeseen circumstances, given him a trial basis job. We also know he can work well with young qbs (Ben R and Luck)

Yeah, he's going to be in demand at the end of the season.

[Te_Puru]

Rob Chudzinski, OC, Carolina Panthers (former OC, SD & CLE)

[WhySoSerious]

I do not want Defensive Coach because I think Wanny sticks. I need someone that understands the Offense and play to your Talents (IE Spiller)

I think he can probably bring in a good offensive coordinator. Maybe someone like Hue Jackson or somebody else he has worked with before

[rockofgib]

Really? Name them.

Coached Chris Carter as his WR Coach(many probowls), Kieth Byers as his RB Coach(93), LeCharles Bentley (03), Wil Smith(08), Will Allen (08), AJ Hawk(10),Antoine Winfield, Santonio Holmes, Nick Mangold just to name a few

Then alot of young players in the NFL now whom will be in time or have a good chance ... like Laurinaitis(NFL ALL Rookie), Malcolm Jenkins, Hartline, Sanzenbacher, Cameron Heyward, Rob Sims, Nate Ebner, DeVier Posey, Mike Adams, Dan Herron

Belichick. If we're dreaming here, why NOT go big?

[Elminster]

[Thurmanator3434]

Andy Reid

[coachholsopple]

another thing to think about is, now that our defense is playing up to expectations, does Wanny get promoted?

[Tates]

David Shaw - Stanford

Probably would not leave Stanford yet, but has taken over for Harbaugh with little to know drop off. Was the man that helped develop Luck. Has alot of coaching experience to include in the NFL. This is the type of coach that is so needed in Buffalo. And these are the types of candidates to look for, some of the under the radar type, maybe a year before real speculation of an NFL HC position starts flying. I would rather take a chance on someone like him, over a retread NFL Coach.

Here is his resume'

Prior to his appointment as offensive coordinator at Stanford, Shaw served as the wide receivers and passing game coordinator at the University of San Diego during the 2006 season, where he helped guide the nation's top Division I-AA offense that paced the Toreros to the Pioneer League championship and NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major national title.

The Toreros led all NCAA Division I-AA teams in passing offense (293.3 ypg), total offense (494.25) and scoring offense (42.83). Quarterback Josh Johnson was one of four offensive All-Americans on the team and led all NCAA Division I-AA quarterbacks in passing efficiency (169.0 quarterback rating), touchdown passes (34, co-leader), points responsible for (24.33) and total offense (336.7), while throwing for 3,320 yards to also lead the country and running for another 721. He added 11 rushing touchdowns and even caught one TD pass.

Shaw's coaching resume also includes nine years of NFL experience with the Philadelphia Eagles (1997), Oakland Raiders (1998-2001) and Baltimore Ravens (2002-05).

Shaw's most recent coaching job in the NFL with Baltimore included a stint as the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach from 2002-04 before working solely with the wide receivers in 2005. His tenure included a 2003 campaign that reaped an AFC North title and a 10-6 regular season record. Derrick Mason set a new franchise record with 86 receptions under Shaw's tutelage in 2005 when he also posted the third-biggest season to date in terms of receiving yards with 1,073. Mark Clayton set a franchise rookie record for receptions in 2005 when he caught 44 balls for 471 yards.

After three seasons of quality control with the Oakland Raiders from 1998-2000, Shaw moved into the role of quarterbacks coach in 2001 as the Raiders won a second straight AFC West title and finished the regular season with a 10-6 mark. Quarterback Rich Gannon made the NFL Pro Bowl for the second straight season and ended up as the game's MVP. Gannon had the third-most prolific campaign of his 16-year pro career during the 2001 regular season, throwing for 3,828 yards on 361-of-549 passing (65.8%).

Shaw began his NFL coaching career as the quality control coach with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997.

He launched his coaching career at Western Washington, where he coached the outside linebackers in 1995 and the tight ends in 1996.

Wow. This guy. I have been a supporter and I did not even know about his NFL pedigree. Wow.

Since you have put this together I will defer to you as the number 1 Shaw promoter - so I will take Perry Fewell, who should have been given the job in the first place. His resume - he knows how to stop Brady when he is not coaching under Jauron. Players love him and will play their hearts out for him.
