I think the Texans got it right with Demeco Ryans. Pretty much a no-brainer all around. He returns to where he played and where his wife is from. Gets an extra long deal because of the way Texans fired their last 2 coaches. I think Houston was the best job out of all the openings.
Lots of cap space. #5 overall. 2nd pick in the draft, 2 first rounders this year and next.
Asking to interview the 49's passing game coordinator to be the OC. I'll be interested to see what happens with the current OC Pep Hamilton who was a "hot name" in the OC game last year.

"Reports pegged Payton as both being onboard with Denver’s Rob Walton-fronted ownership contingent while also potentially fearing a power struggle with one of the struggling team’s new owners. Payton made a point to directly refute the latter stance, and it should be expected he will have final say when it comes to the Broncos’ roster. GM George Paton had held that control from 2021-22, and while a phonetically challenging Payton-Paton partnership could still be in the works, the team’s new head coach is believed to want to bring some personnel staffers with him. Penner said both Paton and the team’s next HC will report directly to him. Tuesday’s hire stands to further diminish Paton’s power, though the rumored Broncos big swing happening represents a major development for a team that has whiffed on a few HCs in recent years."

There's about 20 links in that article to other stories that relate to that paragraph, so if you are interested in details, ther is the main link and from there have fun.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
I got this half right. They went for the in-demand "name coach" after pursuing another name coach in Jim Harbaugh. I was only surprised by the length of 5 years. I haven't heard the $$ figures but I assume they will be very high. In the end, I think Payton wanted an escape clause after 5 years. That allows him to move on without compensation, like he had to battle with this time.

Vikings hire Brian Flores as Def Coordinator. He has a totally different defensive approach to Donatell/Fangio, which O’Connell liked in 2022.

Word on the street is that the Colts "Brain Trust" has narrowed the HC choice down to 3 guys. Eagles OC Shane Steichen, Jeff Saturday and Raheem Morris. Differing opinions as to who the favorite is. But it's always between Steichen and Saturday.

I'm starting to think that the reason for the "exhaustive" search is so that Irsay can justify Saturday.

Sean Payton/Rex Ryan would be an interesting pairing...

Ian Rapaport and Adam Schefter saying Colts have settled on Eagles OC Shane Steichen, and will now see if they can come to an agreement. And that Jeff Saturday has been told he will not be getting the gig.
Not that I expect it to happen, but I wonder what would happen if Eagles offense sputters badly during SuperBowl.

I will say this opens up Jeff Saturday to ALL teams. There may be a bidding war.
