Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel

Titans-
Giants- Hire former Ravens coach John Harbaugh
Falcons- Hire former Browns coach Kevin Stefanski
Browns-
Raiders-
Cardinals-
Dolphins-
Ravens-
Steelers-
Bills-

Retread hire- 2
Newbie hire-


I knew this would happen. Bills fire McDermott. So 10 changes in all. Think the Bills are slightly ahead of the Ravens; as the best remaining job openings.

I can see that and that might work. Can Brian get Bills over the hump?

Hilarious. Who would hire Uncle Fester? Even the fat, bald guy contingent would rather have the Dairy Quinn.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel

Bills are the final expected opening for this cycle. 10 is pretty high.


Hot seat Jan. 2027:

1. Commanders - Dan Quinn
2. Eagles- Nick Sirianni
3. Bucs- Todd Bowles
4. Colts- Shane Steichen
5. Jets- Aaron Glenn
6. Bengals- Zac Taylor - well only if he has nothing left on his contract. Brown to cheap to him; if Bengals fail again.

This cycle took out a lot of long tenure coaches. Next year should be a low number of openings.

Since this year had 10 openings, next year should be light. 2 Big retreads will be in the market for next year’s coaching cycle; McDermott and Tomlin. Those 2 being available could play a role in whether a coach gets fired next year.

My previous post listed the potential openings next year. Only the Jets look like a team that could fire their coach in season.

Could a team fire coach to keep a young up and coming coach and promote them? We’ve seen that happen before. DQ better hope Blough really doesn’t outshine him. Blough really has a good year with offense and other teams may want him as head coach. To prevent losing him, we get rid of DQ and after meeting Rooney Rule; promote Blough.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel

McDermott should have no problem getting a new hc job soon. Very surprised he's gone in Buffalo honestly, but it is what it is. Curious to see who Buffalo gets as I imagine it may be an offensive guy for Allen.

Talk of whether they could get Tomlin. Pedigree is there of course but would Tomlin's style work? Could he turn the D around? Get an OC to get the best out of Allen? Does Tomlin even want a HC job again without a break?

Tomlin has sucked picking OC in recent years. Tomlin is taking a year off.

Mike McDaniel will become the OC for Chargers.

This could be defining for McDaniel. He'll have worked with 2 of the top 3 QB's to come out of the 2020 draft. If he can't turn Herbert into a winner in the playoffs, does it show his limitations as an OC or the fact those QB's were overrated? If he can, and Tua bombs wherever he goes, does it vindicate McDaniel the HC? After all he didn't draft Tua.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel

McDermott criticized the roster in a meeting 5 weeks ago; that didn’t help him. Ownership said the playoffs loss, devastation players felt and Josh Allen crying; played a role in McDermott’s firing.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel

Flores brought back to MN, but an out if he gets a HC offer. So he's no longer an option.
