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.

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

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

 

 

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.

LOL...it happened while I was editing the post :D

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).

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!!! :)

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...

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.....

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.

Gailey's entire staff also fired in Buffalo http://es.pn/S23NMF

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

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

@mikecwright: Keith Armstrong interviewing w/Bears for HC job, according to league source.

 

Falcons Special Teams Coach - Keith Armstrong

 

The chiefs are also interviewing him apparently

 

 

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"

    • 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  
    • I've seen talk in Colts forums (not just this one) that says the Colts need to stack talent and not just picks.  So this mock addresses that strategy.  Traded back a few times to get 6 picks in the top 85.  Opinions?   26. Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas 54. Trey Benson, RB Florida State 56. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson 57. Payton Wilson, LB NC State 82. Max Melton, CB Rutgers 85. Will Shipley, RB Clemson 234. Prince Pines, OG Tulane 2025 DAL 6th   Didn't realize I had drafted 2 RBs until done, so, probably wouldn't have done that.  But Shipley was the best talent available at that pick.  And he is a great receiving RB, which could've helped vs Texans in the last game.
