Black Monday

[packman80]

Besides Chicago, NOLA, and NY Jets looking for a new HC you can now NE to that list as well as Jerod Mayo has been fired by NE.

Will see who else in the next 24-48 hours is fired.

[Siberian13]

Let’s hope the Falcons make this list.

[Derekbauer]

Mayo really? What did the expect?

I don’t follow the Pats too much was there something behind the scenes?

Huge mistake to hire him. GB could have and should have hired Andy Reid who ended up taking the Philly job.

Meathead vrabel is perfect for the patriots. Was not great for the tits, doubt he will be much better for the pats

[rms13]

Meathead vrabel is perfect for the patriots. Was not great for the tits, doubt he will be much better for the patsI'd say Vrabel overachieved with the Titans based on the rosters he had and lack of a QB. I'm a Pats fan and I'll gladly take him.

[Siberian13]

He was supposed to find a way to lose this game and get a better draft pickNot a better pick, the #1 pick. He dropped them to #4. He had a terrible roster but he did a pretty job coaching.

[Brobocop]

I was listening to Simmons today, giant Patriots homer, and he had a pretty good take. Them winning was like trading the #1 pick for the #4 pick and getting nothing in return for it PLUS you get worse picks in every round. If Kraft knew he was firing Mayo yesterday, he should have pulled the trigger and put someone in who knew what the plan was and was sticking around. Again, The Patriot Way looks to be a giant fraud, it was more "We have the greatest QB ever who takes a pay cut to afford more players " way.

This is it.

Unless Kraft told Mayo before the game to tank, you don’t hold it against Mayo for going out and doing his job.

Tanking isn’t the job of the HC, it’s an ownership decision.

[ThatGuyPal]

Disrespectful to can Mayo before the parking lots are even cleared out.

I don't get why everyone asks for these things to happen then feel bad after for the human when they'd still be calling for his head if he was employed.

Dumbass owners who don’t realize in football, you need to clean house. This isn’t an ordinary corporation where you can swap parts in and out, these guys have to be on the same page. Clearly Baalke is a problem, this is his sixth head coach search as a GM across two teams. The regression and failure of the free agents he signed should have cost him his job. Shad ain’t the worst owner but he might be the most clueless.

[Scottish Punk]

Pederson fired, Baalke staying, I’m done with this franchise. What an absolute joke.

Getting a chance to hire your 3rd coach is just a span of five years seems pretty rare. This is the last chance. The new coach, Baalke, and Lawrence are now all tied together. The whole slate will be wiped clean if this iteration does not succeed. Two more years on Lawrence contact where it is still cap friendly. I think that is the leash.

[Grizzly]

Pederson fired, Baalke staying, I’m done with this franchise. What an absolute joke.

FACT.

All anyone needs to know about Trent Baalke's ability to lead an NFL franchise as a GM:

While 49ers GM, he fired Jim Harbaugh because they could not co-exist, after Jim took them to NFC championship his first season, lost the Super Bowl to his brother in the second, and to another NFCCG in the third. NOTE: Baalke did not hire Harbaugh, ownership did. He replaced him with Jim Tomsula, a good DC, who was not ready to be a HC.

He then replaced Tomsula with Chip Kelly, who had at best, a middling success turning around the Eagles, but traded franchise players for worse replacements to get fired, then soured that 49ers to a 2-14 record. Baalke was fired by the 49ers the same day Kelly was, after the season.

I heard a bunch of guys state that they learned what the interview process was about as it's unlike a positional interview which might be a short one if you are getting bumped up.

I get that you want to look under every rock. But why waste time with guys who no one else would hire? They are just making the better candidates they will be interviewing, think they are not their top choice.

[Grid]

Blame the Vikings for rolling over on Sunday. If the Lions didn't have the bye, there would be no window to interview.

You also gotta worry about the Jets being all in on Aaron Glenn.

Other than Pop Sanders who said...Wow

Saw that, and it is a weird situation. Too much owner meddling?

She hired Carthon as GM, and told him she wants to keep Mike Vrabel. Then he fires Mike Vrabel after that season, and hires Bill Callahan.

She then fires Carthon, and keeps Callahan as HC. And will tell the next GM he has to keep Callahan.

And starts the cycle all over again I am sure.

[hairysasquatch]

Apparently Brady is talking to Belichick about what it would take for him to back out of UNC and take the Raiders job. I doubt it happens but interesting

[Retired hobbist]

BB is too smart to come back for the Las Vegas job a blind man can see that it's a disaster that will continue for as long as the bowl cut runs it...

[Brobocop]

Seems like all the top candidates are taking interviews with the Jags. Guess the rumor that if a top head coach candidate agrees to join the team on the basis that Trent is gone is true. Shad wants the head coach to have all the juice now which I guess makes sense until it doesn't.

[packman80]

Ben Johnson to do interviews with Pats and Raiders on Friday and Bears and Jags on Saturday.

[Derekbauer]

I could see Kafka as OC for Kansas City if some team loses their mind and hires Nagy.

Kafka was a hot commodity for head coach in 2023 until the Giants offense sputtered. Daboll even took back control of the play calling but honestly it got worse this season so Kafka probably wasn’t the problem.

[rms13]

Apparently Raiders, Bears, Jags and Saints have all reached out to Belichick to see what it would take to get him as HC. His response supposedly was the biggest coaching contract in history, full control of roster and draft and a clause that he can never be fired. So I guess he'll be staying at UNC which is what I think he really wants right now. But I find it strange that he couldn't get interviews last year but now every team is trying to get him.

[Siberian13]

Raheem Morris is still employed so you know Arthur Blank doesn’t understand football. Poor guy

[Boo]

Vrable to the Raiders makes the most sense of anything.

[DMACcollector]

Vrable to the Raiders makes the most sense of anything.

Wouldn't mind this at all. I also heard that firing Telesco yesterday was intended to entice Ben Johnson, who wants to bring in his own GM. Brady is calling all the shots anyway, so why not.

[rms13]

Sounds like the Raiders want Ben Johnson more. Do the Raiders really want Sanders who would go give up a ton of picks to get his son?He's not even an elite college coach. He's an elite recruiter which doesn't help in the NFL as much. But he does seem like something the Raiders would do . I would imagine the Raiders job would be the 4th choice for Johnson and I'm not convinced Johnson will take a HC job. I don't think the Pats will wait around for him if Vrabel wants that job. I'll be curious how many teams will wait for the Lions season to end before hiring a coach. Once other top candidates start getting hired other teams aren't going to want to risk missing out on other coaches waiting. And then if it's just the Raiders and Saints left then he may just decide to go back to the Lions for one more year

[packman80]

Raiders minority owner Tom Brady is personally recruiting Lions OC Ben Johnson to become the next HC in Las Vegas, per @RapSheet

Plus I don't think the Cowboys are ready to move on from Dak yetSupposedly he's already met with Jerry and has another meeting set up. The Raiders came out publicly a couple of days ago and said they have zero interest in Deion. And Brady has been pushing hard to get Ben Johnson to the Raiders. The Dak issue would probably be tough to solve. They probably need to work out a deal to send Dak to Titans for the #1 pick. But the Cowboys job has to be the most desirable now so maybe Ben Johnson will want to go there with Dak and Ceedee. It will be interesting to see how all the openings shake out especially with Johnson potentially being out of the mix until after the Super Bowl.

Not even Troy Aikman thinks the Dallas job is the most desirable. Why do people keep saying that? Dak is getting up there and injuries are starting to rack up. Then you add having to deal with Jerry Jones. One of the only benefits I see is Dallas seems to give coaches a long leash.

Then you add having to deal with Jerry Jones. One of the only benefits I see is Dallas seems to give coaches a long leash.I think it's desirable because it's the Cowboys and I'm not even a Cowboys fan. But they are America's team for some unknown reason at this point. They'll have a lot of prime time games and lots of coverage. And if someone goes in and gets them over the hump to win a Super Bowl it will be a much bigger deal then any of the other teams. You could say the offensive talent in Jacksonville is on par Dak/Ceedee vs Trevor/BTJ but it's Jacksonville. Chicago might be as talented or more talented but Caleb didn't look like a sure thing so you really have to believe. If you go to the Raiders you are drafting a QB and maybe bringing in someone like Darnold or Rodgers for a year. Saints you have Carr/Rattler and maybe they bring another QB in. Jets is a dumpster fire and you either have Rodgers or your looking for a new QB. This year QB draft doesn't look very strong and free agency isn't either. You basically get one year to win in the NFL now . I think Johnson would think Cowboys or Jags would be his best chance to immediately replicate his offense from Detroit and win games. Brady wants him but I think the Raiders would have to give him a lot of money and some sort of guarantees that he won't be fired after one year.

[hairysasquatch]

I can't see Brady being happy with Deion. Much more likely that Deion goes to Dallas and finagles a way to get Shedeur and Johnson goes to Vegas or perhaps nowhere.

Deion goes to Dallas he's stuck with Dak so he won't go there. He likes Vegas more then Vegas likes him IMO. He thinks he goes to Vegas he can send a bunch of picks to draft his kid. I don't think Vegas wants that rather sign Johnson and then send a day 3 pick to Detroit for Hooker.

Somewhat of an inside scoop on McCarthy when he came to Chicago. That most of the media never picked up on.

The Bears wanted to zoom him, like most everyone else. McCarthy insisted on being there. The team sent a jet for him, and put aside the entire day to walk him through operations, and have him meet the staff.

He showed up unprepared, and assumed he would be hired because he was Mike McCarthy. No real plan for the team, who he would hire as assistants, how he would develop Caleb ETC.

The Bears thought he was coming in to make a pitch for the job, like everyone else was doing. Mike thought he was coming in for the Bears to make a pitch to him, and beg him to be their coach.

They had dinner plans for after the meeting. Which ran way short, when it was made clear he didn't have much of anything to say. And the teams head brass pulled out on the dinner, leaving Mike and his wife to go out alone. On the Bears tab of course.

That sounds about right for McCarthy.

I suppose he could have lost the job if he opened up on his offensive plans with a diamond backfield and usage of power running but it looks like it never got to that point..:D

[hairysasquatch]

Somewhat of an inside scoop on McCarthy when he came to Chicago. That most of the media never picked up on.

The Bears wanted to zoom him, like most everyone else. McCarthy insisted on being there. The team sent a jet for him, and put aside the entire day to walk him through operations, and have him meet the staff.

Well if true the Bears deserve credit for not falling for it. What a bozo!

Liam Coen reportedly signing with the Jaguars as their new head coach. Apparently one of the things that drew him to sign with the piss poor Jaguars was his ability to pick the incoming GM.

Pretty shady tactic by Cohen considering he had a handshake agreement with the Buccaneers yesterday to return as their offensive coordinator.

Wacky and Wild stuff

[slyguy]

I'd say Vrabel overachieved with the Titans based on the rosters he had and lack of a QB. I'm a Pats fan and I'll gladly take him.For sure.

Pats win the new coach 2024-25 offseason absolutely.
That division outside Buff is very weak... NE will be 2nd place as soon as this coming year.

....I bet Saints end up 2nd place in coach hire with KMoore once Iggles are done in playoffs or mongoloid Mike McCarthy. I hope so for Rattler's sake.

Wacky and Wild stuffI don't see anything shady about an OC taking an HC job elsewhere, even if the OC deal is brand new. Every single team in the League should be prepared to lose their OC or DC to another team's HC position at any time during the offseason.

Handshake agreeement? :cry:

[Fenway55]

Handshake agreeement? :cry:I agree with your sentiment. Heck, even with a contract signed, sealed and delivered, he can still get out of it to take an HC job.

[coltsnsox07]

raiders hey we did not get Ben Johnson so lets pick a name out of the hat for our next head coach and the winner is........

Pete Carroll

And it's true, 3 year deal. At least he won't have to worry about blowing a super bowl, or any post season game with this Raiders bunch.

[Grid]

When Pete interviewed with the Bears. His selling point was a one term contract. He would come in, change the culture. Establish his position coaches. Then have his hand picked successor on staff, for when he retires and hands the team over.

When you will be 74 to start camp. It was the best pitch he had to make.

[JohnnyHatesJazz]

The AFC West is loaded with top end coaches:

Reid
Harbaugh
Carrol
Payton

That has to be the best divisional lineup of coaches of all time. Wow.

It is, and it's the same pitch he made to the Raiders. I expect him to make good on uplifting the organizational climate and establishing a much better culture. Now the question becomes, who can the Raiders get to come in and be the hot shot OC and eventual HC? Most likely someone from the college ranks.

What happened to Jeff Fisher and Norv Turner?

I guess by Raiduhs standards this is a win...:D

The guy is a winner. He had what 10 playoff appearances in 14 yrs with the Seahawks. Of course he also has the worst play call in SB history by not running with Marshawn Lynch from less than a yard- but besides that, a good, solid coach that can teach these young guys about winning. I wonder if ownership will back off and let him do what needs to be done without meddling? Jerry Jones needs the same thing to happen in Dallas, but he won't step back and stop meddling.

Would he retire or be forced out again? No one is going to wait 4-5 years to replace him. He has 3 year deal with an option on year 4. Might have to be like Seattle again if someone you like you will have to force him out after 2 years so you can hire that guy.

WOW Chip Kelly to be new OC in Vegas
This is an odd pick. I don't see him and Coach Pete meshing, and I know they covet Shedeur, but don't feel he's mobile enough to run a Chip Kelly offense, so could they be looking at another QB all together? Maybe Howard?

What do you consider mobile? Someone that takes off and runs? Or something else?

[Floridacardguy]

What do you consider mobile? Someone that takes off and runs? Or something else?

Yeah. and seeing how Sanders can NOT run, I'd say he's not mobile. They have to run a little bit in Chip's offense at least, and Sanders doesn't run at all- he gets negative yards, so this is a shocker
Sanders finished this season with minus 50 yards rushing- that is NOT a Kelly type QB

I’d imagine the 150 plus sacks he took might add up though. He stills runs a 4.65 so he has some speed. Just seems like a guy that holds the ball too long
