He has been a HC. In 2002 for the Bengals.

Yes.

I'm saying I don't know why he doesn't get a HC job. Aside from his age and the fact he's monotone and probably wouldn't be a great motivator he clearly isn't as great as some fans make him out to be. His scheme is great if you can execute it as well as mix in some plays. It's a great base offense to run but you need to mix it up with different routes and not just leave every play up to the receiver. Everything is predicated on the receiver beating their man and if that doesn't happen we look like ****. Not to mention you cannot wait 5-7 seconds for every play to develop down field just to get a completion. Especially if your O-line is struggling.. Defenses get paid too.

I dont understand the point of this thread then. Gilbride has a great system, which when in a younger coach gets a ton of praise and attention.

So the point of this thread is to what, complain that Gilbride is old?

He doesn't want to be a HC smart ***... he's content with being a DC.. and a damn good one.

Gilbride has obviously been seeking a head coaching gig the past couple years.

Don't post stuff that you have no idea about.

Gilbride was already a HC once with the Chargers and failed miserably. He is what he is. Capers, LeBeau, Phillips...all guys who don't have what it takes to be a HC.

I never once brought up age, someone else did. 61 is not that old especially if you're in good health which he is.'

If he's so good other teams would want him and they don't. Period.

The talent surrounding him masks his incompetence at times, that's all.

Because hes 61. Not many teams are hiring 60+ year old head coaches.

You didn't pick apart anything. You made a smart-*** sarcastic statement and you expected what exactly?
