Dead Coach Walking

[JaxRed]

The Chargers debacle tonight got me wondering. I saw some report that there might be 10 NFL HC openings this year. Who's Dead Coach Walking?

1. Vegas - Already fired McDaniels
2. Carolina - Already fired Reich

Candidates

Chargers - This has got to be the last straw/year for Staley right?
Patriots - There are already reports that Belichek has been informed he's out
Washington - New owner, and bad team seems like a change will come and Rivera will be ousted

But that's only 5

I've heard talk about

Tampa Bay
New Orleans
Some speculation about Giants

Anyone else look like their seat is hot?

[Eric in IL]

I would say Arthur Smith will be in jeopardy if Atlanta misses the playoffs. I'm sure many fantasy football owners want him gone.

[Sea Ray]

Isn’t the Raiders coach “interim”?

I would think the Jets would be contemplating a change. As would the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears. I think Daboll has done a real good job with the Giants and is quite safe

I think McDermott's safe. If they wanted to fire him, the 9/11 controversy would have gave them the perfect excuse to do so. I think Smith and Eberflus are gone. I've heard reports the Pats may trade Belichick. Rivera in D.C. There's usually a surprise sacking too.

[RiverRat13]

Yeah, I can't imagine Daboll being in trouble. If he were fired, I think he'd be the hottest candidate out there.

[WVRed]

Would anyone be surprised if Kraft fires Belichick and replaces him with McDaniels knowing he ran both the Raiders and Broncos into the ground?

I agree with RTG, Harbaugh will be the coach in Chicago unless he is just using it to lock up a massive extension at Michigan and flips the bird to the NCAA.

The Falcons IMO are a QB away from contention. I think they should give Smith one more year but double down on a QB. Justin Fields with Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts would be scary.

Bills probably should make a change. McDermott is a good defensive coach but he hasn't gotten the most out of Josh Allen.

Jets won't do anything. They risked everything for Aaron Rodgers and I imagine ownership will want to see how Rodgers does a full year before deciding on Robert Saleh. If they can Saleh then that likely means Nathaniel Hackett is gone too which means Rodgers will probably call it a career.

The one team that should make a change but won't: The Steelers.

Agree with you and Sea Ray about Daboll. Look no further than the fact that the Bills offense has gone into the tank without Daboll as OC.

Under the circumstances, Daboll has done a fine job in NY. This isn’t another Ray Handley situation.

Add the Chargers to the list. Staley and the GM both canned.

I kinda wonder if Harbaugh would be a better fit in LA anyways after realizing the Warren connection. He does have a man crush on Justin Herbert.

LAC has bad ownership, an aging roster, and cap issues... but I'd still want the best QB if I have my pick in jobs. For Harbaugh specifically, he's going to want to run a lot of people out to set the tone wherever he goes and the Chargers are probably going to need to cut some bigger names to be under the cap, so I think it would be a good fit.

That said, I still think he ends up with the Bears.

Kellen Moore is supposedly getting the interim tag for the Chargers. Could be an opportunity for him for the full time job but I'd say he's on the chopping block.

I'm kinda surprised Ron Rivera was never canned in Washington and Bienemy was never given the interim tag just to see how he would be as a head coach.

The Bears just can't seem to get out of their way. No matter what they do they mess it up. In the Super Bowl era they have only been relevant in the mid-80s and the mid 2000s for a couple of years.

Harris is being patient but I think he cleans house after the season. Probably doesn’t want to make a change now, get the dead cat bounce, and risk losing a grip on the top 4 draft pick.

He’s hired Eugene Shen as Senior VP of Football Strategy, who formerly worked for the Ravens, Dolphins, and Jags. I think that’s the only significant front office move so far.

IMHO, it’s the QB curse, which ironically, began when they jettisoned Harbaugh, who led the Colts to within a dropped late 4th quarter interception of reaching the Super Bowl. Since then, they have seemingly engineered several mind-numbingly dumb deals while reaching for “that” QB. Among them:

- The disastrous trades for Rick Mirer and Jay Cutler.

- Passing on Duante Culpepper in favor of Cade McNown in the 1999 Draft.

That said, if they can protect Fields and surround him with weapons - like drafting Marvin Harrison Jr. first - they have a chance to end this curse.

Smart is a Georgia alum and Georgia has been one of the major players in getting out in front of NIL. He's won back to back national championships before getting derailed by Bama this year. Leaving Georgia makes zero sense.

Zero sense unless he wants to try his hand at coaching in the NFL. It's a completely different animal. I have no idea if he has such aspirations

Last time Falcons hired a college coach it was Bobby Petrino.

We’re gonna rename all of the Peachtree Streets after Sherman before going back to the college coaching well.

(And no way Kirby is interested in leaving what he has built in Athens. None.).

[Boston Red]

Belichick should get extra fired for going with Mac Jones over Zappe for so long.

[JaxRed]

Well tomorrow is Black Monday. Of non-announced firings, I'd say Washington is a lock. NE a possibility. Atlanta a strong possibility. New Orleans supposedly said he's safe. Tampa snuck in so he's safe.

Very little chance for Bears, zero chance for Buffalo

I still think Giants are a possibility

In the AFC South I think Vrable is a possible divorce (rather than firing) and Jax is a mild possibility (in case Shad Khan wants some changes and Pederson doesn't)

Not really a dead coach walking but Mike Florio is reporting Andy Reid may retire after this season.

Only one move makes sense for the Titans and their mediocre roster...hire Hue Jackson as head coach to bottom out the team so it can get the top pick next year.

Vrabel is interesting in that I think he is a good coach, and he got the #1 seed with the Titans a few year ago. Which is a feat considering Tannehill was the QB, but they never struck me as a dangerous team. Well coached, sure, dangerous, no.

FWIW, I think Vrabel needs a good OC in order to be successful.

Yes and no.

They made the right choice on passing on Belichick. As you said, they already have a GM in Rich McKay who Arthur Blank is pretty fond of and he likely would have taken a backseat to Hoodie.

Where they messed up was bringing back Raheem Morris. He was the interim there when Dan Quinn was fired and went 4-7. The problems with Atlanta right now are offense namely with QB. Bobby Slowik would have made more sense.

Re: Belichick, I think if he wants to come back to coaching he needs to take a year off and be an analyst on CBS, NBC, or Fox. Pittsburgh, Dallas, Philly, Giants, Jets, Chicago, Miami, Buffalo and Jacksonville could all be possible openings next year depending on how the carousel unfolds.

Another problem with Belichick is the whole "Patriot Way". He isn't going to find any team listed above that will hand over full control to him. Same with Mike Vrabel. Until they learn to work well with others they both will be on the outside looking in on all the coaching searches.

I'm not so sure. If that were the case I'd think EB would have stayed in KC waiting for that to happen. I think it's clear that owners don't think EB is head coach material just like they think about our own Lou A.

Didn't follow the Commanders much, so not sure how EB handled the offensive side, but like Callahan, we all know Andy calls the plays in KC, so letting Eric go somewhere he could was the right call. But, yeah, he may just not be head coach material.

[RichRed]

EB is a fiery, intense guy. He reportedly rubbed some players the wrong way in camp, but many players seem to love him. I’ve been a Washington fan for 45 years but I don’t watch the complete games very often anymore, and can you blame me, especially last year? That said, my sense is that EB did ok but was often too quick to abandon the run, something that plagues about 75% of all OC’s. I think most fans were not happy with him at all though. It’s just really hard to judge him completely because he had a young QB who struggled and an atrocious o-line to work with.

Washington did interview him for the HC job but it always seemed like nothing more than a courtesy, rather than feeling he was a top candidate. I can’t speak to why he hasn’t gotten a shot at HC yet, maybe he just doesn’t have “it”.

[WrongVerb]

I suspect Johnson was their first choice until he told them he was staying in Detroit, while they were in the air on the way to Detroit for a second interview with him.

If it's like how it was described on local sports radio here, he was. Sounds like he pulled out of consideration while a contingent from the Commanders was headed to Detroit to interview him again and likely make the offer.
