Aaaaaand Bills Coach Doug Marrone walks away.

 

With $4m in 2015 salary that has no offset clause.

 

Favorite to become the Jets new HC according to Adam Schefter.

 

Sucks to be a Bills fan. First winning record in, what, 10 years, and now you've got no coach, no QB, and no first round pick.

absolutely not.  Gettlemen is gonna reevaluate the entire staff after this season regardless. you cant just overlook the poo storm that was the panthers the whole season because they made the playoffs.  If the entire NFCS wasn't crap, some staff would be looking for jobs already.

 

I agree but at the same time, whose responsibility is it put all the rooks (undrafted even) in? It seems to be a tough call and who thought it would pay off? 

 

it does seem that the Oline allowed OC to game plan and the DC got a flying around secondary but that was based on a DL that could put pressure on Qbs...I'm not sure how much of the responsibility is the coaches when we didn't have the same team for half a season. 

 

it was a terrible run but it looks like we now have a younger team that could make a run this year and next...

Oops.

George Paton, the assistant GM for the Minnesota Vikings, was offered a chance to interview for the New York Jets GM opening.

And he turned it down :unsure:

If the name sounds familiar to you, it should. Paton was one of the people who interviewed for the Panthers GM job that eventually went to Dave Gettleman.

 

Going toe to toe with Belichik in your first job could be career suicide.

So I've been digging a bit and found there's an NFL advisory committee for GMs and coaches.   They include Dungy, Denny Green, John Madden, Ernie Accorsi, Charley Casserley, Ron Wolf, Bill Polian.  

 

At minimum, that committee provides you names to consider for head coach openings; it might provide it for coordinator openings, but I don't know that (I do know, Carolina had a number of OC names in hand while interviewing only DCs for a head coaching job).  It'd be interesting to know if minority candidates are pushed, mostly from the idea that a Ron Rivera or Todd Bowles gets mentioned for every single job; so, teams interview with that in mind, instead of being interested.  Certainly, Rooney Rule has something to do with that (and Teryl Austin might be the next man up), but I wonder what part the committee plays in making that happen, too (i.e., it's not a negative thing that these coaches interview a lot, except outside perception).  I'd partly fault the coach interviewing; some assistants say no to some teams and not others (Mike McCoy as one example), but there's a negative connotation to doing that. 

 

A lot of teams do reach out and hire a consultant, and that almost always happens from within the above advisory committee, usually the GMs.  

 

The interesting thing is that ATL hired Joe Banner, not on the committee that I'm aware, while already holding a GM and asst GM.  It's in their rights to do that, of course.  I just think it's interesting the most commonly hired (Accorsi, Polian) and the others I've seen (Casserley, Wolf?) are all former GMs, work on this panel and are therefore NFL paid I'd assume.  

 

Past that, Accorsi always recommends guys from his past, as does Polian and the one time for Wolf I can remember (McKenzie).  Doesn't make them bad hires, and I'm sure most of us have held jobs we got from someone we know that trusted us.  Polian himself almost taking the Bills job, I don't know what'll happen there. 

 

At any rate, that makes the Jets' job Marrone and the Texans' McCagnan as GM.  They all have ties together. 

 

Dimitroff and Pioli, who are Pats guys, would naturally seem ready to jump on McDaniels.   Except for Banner, who's a bit of a loose cannon and seems to have more control over this whole thing than the GMs -  Which makes Rex a tremendous wildcard - is he respected because of his deep Pats issues, or just dismissed?   There's a power struggle there, possibly, with Banner, who seems to invite such a thing.  I'd personally love it if Banner ended up there, because he seems to invite anarchy and I'd love to see Atlanta come out the worse from this whole thing. 

 

 

Also read a thing suggesting there was only one GM with past GM experience in the league, which I thought was pretty weird.

Re: Marrone. I believe when word arose about the 3 day window, he said he wasn't going to leave

 

and with consultant - I don't think anyone with Wolf ties interviewed for San Diego when he advised the Telesco/McCoy hirings. I'd guess that the Banner advising in Atlanta was Blank checking the current FO.
