Bears asking to interview Broncos’ Mike McCoyhttp://bit.ly/U05x9O  #Broncos #NFL

[FireJimCaldwell]

Has a decision not been made/announced yet on Wisenhunt or is he safe for now?  Or do you know?

I'm not sure if that means he's safe or not. Nothing has been released one way or the other.

Gotcha...I'd assume then it's probably similar to the Jags situation and what the Colts did last year...bring in the new GM and then let him make the decision about the existing head coach. 

 

**edit...of course, I know what happens when one assumes so...yeah lol.  A statement could be released in 5 seconds announcing that Wisenhunt also received his walking papers.

Cardinals fired HC Ken Whisenhunt. Up to 7 HCs today.

 

 

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

As I've been reporting, Cardinals very likely to promote assistant GM Steve Keim to the GM position

Interesting that you mention Ken Wisenhunt's name.

 

If Arians leaves for a head coaching job and Ken Wisenhunt is fired, I'd love to have him for OC.

I agree.  I think as of now my 2 top preferences, should Arians leave for a HC job, would be Wisenhunt or Greg Knapp (assuming reports are true and he does get fired in Oakland).

Chargers have hired Ron Wolf as a consultant to help lead the GM and coach searches.

Jets and Jaguars have asked permission from San Francisco to interview 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble for their GM jobs.

Nobody wants Bill Polian???? If it ends up the case with so many GM vacancies, Chris Polian would have taken his Dad down with him for good, kudos!!!

[FireJimCaldwell]

Faux John Madden ‏@FauxJohnMadden

REPORT: Jaguars GM search to begin with guy who won his Fantasy league two straight years and kid that built a Madden dynasty.

Polian is in the position(age/$$$) to pick and choose what he wants to do. There are some places he wouldn't want to go to.

 

If something he likes comes his way then he might take it.

 

It's not like he's 55...

[IndyTrav]

Andy Reid

Norv Turner

Jason Garret

Romeo Crennel

Chan Gailey

Rex Ryan

Ron Rivera

Lots of available seats coming up in the next year or so......

4 for 7 almost 2 months ago. Should have known Whisenhunt was getting the boot.....

Riveria may have save his job with a nice Dec.

Still cant believe Ryan got a vote of confidence.

Jason Garret has deserved a firing for 2 years now, but I refuse to take into account the "Jerry Jones yes man" factor....thats my own fault.....

[PrincetonTiger]

The Shocking name on the list is Lovie Smith

 

 

ESPN mentioned Arians as a possible candidate in Philly

Arians should not take it if Vick is still QB. Vick is a coach killer, IMO.

 

Arians is better off taking a job like the Bears or Chargers with a decent QB that can somewhat read defenses.

ent Somers ‏@kentsomers

Cardinals also fire entire offensive staff, not the defensive coaches.

 

Cards Russ Grimm, Mike Miller, John McNulty Chad Grimm, Frank Reich & Tommie Robinson were let go.

Panthers announced HC Ron Rivera will meet with owner Jerry Richardson to discuss his future.

Raiders have released OC Greg Knapp, special teams coordinator Steve Hoffman, OL coach Frank Pollack and linebackers coach Johnny Holland.

Ken Wisenhunt would be one of the first people I call if BA gets a shot to be a HC somewhere

[FireJimCaldwell]

It would be about the same playbook, but with a higher concentration on the running game. He never wanted to throw it as much as he did with Warner in Arizona. With Larry FItzgerald & Boldin & Warner he was forced too.

Only name I know for sure been seriously discussed @ Chargers Park to this point is Bruce Arians ... I am told Ken Whisenhunt is interested.

Seems extreme to me from an outsiders point of view of course, I would have drafted a QB, A WR,  A O Linemen or two and maybe a Tight End if I was Buffalo and see what happens, They are still in need a few of those pieces in my opinion but now seems like they need an entire makeover on offense from coaching staff on down

[FireJimCaldwell]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Arizona and Chicago have asked for and received permission to interview Broncos OC Mike McCoy for their HC job. Will interview this weekend.

Their mistake was the huge deal to Fitzpatrick.  They have some decent pieces, but will see how the new cook likes them.

Hate to say it but he is used for the Rooney rule. Happened to Jim Caldwell and Leslie Frazier a few times as well. Here is his bio: http://prod.www.falcons.clubs.nfl.com/team/coaches/Keith-Armstrong/37c548f7-ea99-48a8-acdf-46bd037574ff

“As I’ve told everybody who has asked over the course of the season, that the answer is, ‘Could I do it?  Yeah.’  Would I?  That depends entirely on the family and other considerations,” Polian told USA Today.  “So right now, it doesn’t look like there is anything in the offing.  And I’m fine with that.  I’m very happy with what I’m doing now"
