Offseason NFL News

[Mr. Scot]

A thread for general news about other teams hirings, firings, signings, releases, etc.

[Mr. Scot]

Starting with this bit of news you probably won't like to hear...

 

Word is the Atlanta Falcons may now be targeting Todd Bowles in their head coaching search.

 

That could be trouble.

[KendrickPanther]

Todd Bowles is really good at defending Cam. We need a better coordinator than Shula to prepare Cam for that guy.

charlotte observer reporting special teams coach Richard Rodgers job is in jeopardy. 

 

Panthers special teams coordinator Richard Rodgers said Sunday he had no word on his future with the team after the unit finished at or near the bottom of a half-dozen categories in the 2014 regular season.

“That’s up to the powers that be. I just coach football,” Rodgers said.

 

Carolina’s special teams unit finished last in the league in net punting average and punt return yardage allowed. They were next-to-last in kickoff return yardage allowed. In three other categories – kickoff return average, gross punting average and opponent’s gross punting average – Carolina finished in the bottom-quarter of the league.

Rex Ryan in Atlanta didn't scare me.

I'd say that deserves its own thread.

 

This one is mainly for news from other teams.

It would be insane if he is retained.  As bad as Shula is, he is worse, our ST essentially did nothing right this season.

If it's Joe reporting than we can be pretty sure he was fired after the Arizona game.

my bad. no one reply to the post please.

[Mr. Scot]

Bowles is getting a second interview with the Jets.

 

I'd much rather see him land there than in Atlanta.

[BIGH2001]

Not worried about Todd Bowles at all. His defensive philosophy is too risky to sustain success. Plus former coordinators don't always have a strong performance out of that particular unit once they become a head coach. Mike Smith was a defensive coach too.

I was terrified of rex going to atlanta. Woke up with huge relief Sunday morning reading he was going to buffalo. I'm not too worried about Bowles. Just glad it wasn't rex.

He coached a heck of a defense the past few years.  That is worrisome for us!

[Growl]

We finished next to last in KO return yardage allowed in spite of the fact that Gano boots the ball through the endzone like 4 out of every 5 kicks.

How is there even any question we need a new ST coach
