Coaching Changes Thread

Here we go:

 

I was listening to ESPN radio tonight and heard some interesting rumors. 

 

1.  Eagles will/have fired Reid.  He expects them to make a strong push for either Chip Kelly or Bill O'Brien.  If they can't land either of them he expects them to go after an OC and listed Kyle Shanahan and BA to be the favorites of those.

 

2.  Chargers will dump Norv and AJ Smith.  He thinks BA will be offered the job there but I had heard they were interested in Reid. 

 

3.  Browns are making a change.  He thinks they will go after O'Brien and if they can't get him he thinks they will want Josh McDaniels from New England and said he expects the Browns to try to bring in Ryan Mallett as well if they land one of those two.

 

4.  Jets will fire their OC but not Rex Ryan.

 

5.  Ken Whisenhunt could be in danger in Arizona because he expects the GM to go.

 

6.  Jags will fire their GM which could put their coach on the hot seat.

 

7.  KC he said he can't get a read on but he thinks if the GM goes Romeo goes as well.  He said it's expected if changes are made that Bill Polian will be the new GM there. 

 

8.  Lions he said the GM and Schwartz will probably keep their jobs due to the fact that the Lions owners wont want to pay that much money to people not coaching this coming year.

Good. I was looking for a thread.  Black Monday has come at last.

 

1. Chip Kelly would be very interesting.

 

2. It has been a long time coming for Norv.  Continues to underachieve with roster.

 

3. Will the Browns ever turn it around? It seems like they blow up the organization every year.

 

4. I really thought they would fire Rex.   Maybe they give him another year.

 

5. I understand if a new GM comes in, they want "their guy", but Whisenhunt has probably done the best he can with the pieces he's got.  Deserves another year unless the new GM already has someone in mind.

 

6. Same as above. GMs should be able to clean house.

 

7. Same as above. Better coordinator than head coach.

 

8. I've never really cared for Schwartz.  3 seasons below .500.  50/50 on firing him.

I'd fire him but I am not shocked the Lions wont.  It's clear the Lions biggest problem is that they are undisciplined and that's a direct result of coaching.  I think they should also look around to teams like the Chargers who for years had more talent than any other team in the league and couldn't get it done based on talent alone and see that as a warning. 

 

With that said the Lions owners are a reason to love Jim Irsay if you are a Colts fan.  Look at the reason they said they wont make the change they don't want to pay them not to coach.  That's just being cheap.  They care more about a profit off of the Lions than they do winning and losing.  That's why I like Irsay not all of his moves will turn to Gold but turning a profit and having a losing team will never be good enough for Irsay he will always keep trying to make his team better till they win.

That made my day. I'd be able to see the sparks all the way here in New Mexico. :)

 

There will be enough smoldering that you could take off in a hot air balloon in Albuquerque with it (btw, I went to school there, I am a Lobo, though it was for my masters).

Cool :) and once a Lobo, always a Lobo. Unfortunately they haven't done all that well the past few years, football wise.

I agree with your comments about being cheap and appreciate that our owner cares more about winning. Anyone with that pathetic of a reason to hang on to coaches doesn't deserve to own a team IMO. I feel for the Lions fans. Look how long they hung on to Matt Millen when it was obvious to everyone that he was a lousy GM.

Keep in mind......a coaching not getting fired today does not mean he will not be fired. In the case of Rex Ryan, I am assuming ownership is going to leave the decision to the new General Manager. If the GM is getting fired, chances are that the coach may be next.

Excellent points regarding Detroit.

 

IMO....Jim Schwarz should have been at the top of the list today. He commands ZERO respect from a locker room stocked with ample talent to win AT LEAST 9-10 games.....but enough undisciplined and out of control enough to embarrass themselves, which they did this season.

In the NFL.com article, it says that the owner has explicitly stated that Rex Ryan will stay.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000119915/article/mike-tannenbaum-out-as-jets-gm-rex-ryan-still-coach

 

Johnson made it clear that the next Jets GM would not be able to hire a new head coach.

 

However, the same has not been said about Mike Mularkey so I could definitely still see him being fired when the Jags find their new GM.

I'm surprised Mularkey still has a job in Jacksonville.  I never thought he was a good choice for HC.  Lovie should have been fired years ago.  Crennel is not cut out to be a HC, but he is a very good DC, so I don't expect him to have much trouble finding another job

 

 

I just hope Crennel does not go back to the Pats. :)

 

But he wont have Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy and Rodney Harrison to work with in the secondary, plus wont have Bruschi, Vrable and McGinnest in the front 7 :).

I love this day! It's always so much fun! Not the part with the men losing their jobs and effecting their families, the part about new major people in the league

Even from a financial perspective. These guys for the most part are fired with money on the table, that they will still collect.  Getting fired would be tough for anyone, but in some cases they will be paid 6 to 7 figures to work elsewhere or to sit in front of a camera, or nothing at all.

    • Rashee Rice is honestly very good. He's their no1 receiver and a lot of the time outperformed Kelce last year as a rookie. They also have two elite CBs (we don't have one) so that allows them to shut down the passing game (as evident by their defense last year and their run in the playoffs). Mahomes is elite, but Ballard didn't even try to get a QB in the draft until 2023 after Luck left. We can blame it on Reich and all that, but it's a fact. 
    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58
