The annual NFL coaching carousel

They interviewed Pep Hamilton and Bryon Leftwitch as their minority candidates. They requested an interview with Ben Johnson but don’t think they interviewed him yet. Mike Vrabel was the guy they wanted and probably why they ditched Mayo quickly.

Jets -
Bears-
Saints-
Pats- Hire Former Titans coach, Mike Vrabel
Jags-
Raiders-


No big shock here, Pats hiring former Titans coach Mike Vrabel.I was surprised when Tennessee parted ways with him. He build a tough, hard working football team there. He'll need a good oc, but I could see him doing well in NE.

Raiders lost out on two coaches with ties to Brady. Bellichek decided to stay at his new job at UNC and Vrabel went to Pats.

Raiders probably need a vet coach to establish a culture.

Pete Carroll would be a coach who can do that and rebuild a team. Then after 3-4 years give way to a younger coach.

If I were them, I’d call the Steelers and see if they can work out a trade for Tomlin. Tomlin and the Steelers probably need a fresh start.

Besides what Jerry decides with McCarthy; the only other potential openings would be a from a playoff loser this weekend.

What coach could get the ax, if they lose this weekend?

Buccaneers- Todd Bowles could be gone if he loses to us. Bucs have barely made playoffs last 3 years. Owners might decide, it’s time to move on.

Eagles- Nick Sirianni. They expect at least a championship game appearance and if that doesn’t happen, change is happening.

Bills- Sean Mcdemott. An upset by the Broncos might cause Pelugulas to make a change, thinking Sean can’t get them over the hump.

Now this potential opening wouldn’t be a firing since he got an extension.

Steelers- Mike Tomlin. If they lose to Ravens, the Rooneys might consider trade requests. Steelers have not won a playoff game in 8 years. They mght decide Mike and the Steelers both need a fresh start; so they are willing to trade him.

I could see Tomlin going. IMO McDemott needs to make it to a Super Bowl or he’s done. How often can you lose over and over again to the same team?

What sucks for the Steelers and Tomlin is they are stuck in mediocre NFL; there draft picks are always in the middle of the board

They either need to move on from MT or make a big splash in FA trade or draft picks

Looks like Jerry hasn’t negotiated with McCarthy and he’s set to be free Midnight Wednesday. So unless something happens next 2 days, Mike can interview anywhere.

Gotta think that Jerry believes that McCarthy will be back. Teams with no head coach are already ahead of Cowboys so Cowboys would be left with leftovers if they actually don't plan to keep McCarthy.

The way its written up, they negotiated but couldn't agree, and its highly unlikely they get back around the table. Never say never, but if they didn't get the deal done now, why would they change positions next week etc. McCarthy doesn't need teh money and Jerry doesn't need the process to make him look a dumbass (he does that all by himself).

Dallas needs anew coach

If they take KK after we took DQ that just be painful
