No way Brady goes anywhere this year or next imo. I'm fairly confident that the Panthers will turn down the interviews to at least get him through Teddy's contract.

Plus, Eric Bienemy is going to be the guy to get and he is going to get his pick of the litter. 

we can't turn down interviews for an upward move

In fairness, the article listed 8 and Brady was at the bottom of the list.  Highly unlikely at this point.  Wouldn't be shocked though to see him take over for SP in New Orleans at some point.

a whole lot of "i KNOW my wife isnt cheating on me" energy in this thread

If he's smart he'll jump at the first chance he gets to succeed. Going into the NYJ shitshow at age 31 is virtually guaranteeing your name is on the list of guys with a sub-25% winning percentage and fired within 3 years, making a job with a real NFL franchise much harder to get in the future.

If he walks away with $60M, who cares? He'll still have ample opportunity to continue coaching as an assistant or in the college ranks. If you sit around waiting for the perfect opportunity it'll probably never come. Like a high draft pick rookie, as a new HC you're almost always walking into a bad situation.

I don’t think this is true at all. He could absolutely realize he’s not ready to be a HC and doesn’t want to fail in his first chance. Heck, are we sure he even wants to be a HC right now? I’d want to truly accomplish something first as an OC to get the job when I have more NFL coaching friends to make me successful. Who’s going to be his OC and DC? He didn’t make the Saints offense and at LSU he had the best WRs, a great RB, the best OL and a solid QB. This is his first opportunity to show off on an even playing field. He’s doing well but if he’s smart he’s not going to just jump at a chance and mess up a long successful career.

I feel like I read this on LSUs message board last season with the justification he was just a passing coordinator and he needed to learn how to run an entire offense for a few seasons.  Brady is impressive everywhere he goes.  Someone will fall in love with him sooner than later and its a great thing we are willing to hire people like that.  Not sure why saying we should anticipate him leaving and be comfortable we are going to find competent replacements whenever that is would be controversial.

My thoughts after the game. 

I was thinking it during the game. Just read that Quinn is already gone.

It’s not. I’m just throwing out that there’s a lot of assumptions that he wants to be a HC immediately. Being a solid coordinator does not always equate to a good HC. He doesn’t have his team of people yet. Rhule moved to Carolina with a bunch of assistants in place and added Brady because offense was kind of his biggest hole. Brady doesn’t have that team of people to draw on and at his age he may not even be thinking about HC yet. I just think it’s very premature that he’s even close to ready to want the opportunity. Being an OC is completely different from being a HC so what LSU boards said about him carries no weight in this situation. Running the passing game at LSU last year was 80% of the offense, not much of a leap compared to being an OC in the NFL for one year and not having any head coaching experience or a team in place to become his own coordinators.

Joe Brady is already being talked about in head coaching circles. This from SportingNews:

IMO, Brady won't do this. He is way too inexperienced to be a head coach now. Give him 2 more years and then MAYBE. 

Inexperience has not stopped too many coordinators from doing that before(see Sir Chudz) bc $$ and more control. 

Tepper should flex the brass balls and pay him unprecidented coordinaor/low end HC $$ to horde away our OC genius nerd for 4/5 years. Then we can trade him to a team like Belechick or Gruden was.

Looking at the money HCs are making these days, just one of those contracts is changing your family's prospects for generations to come. Go get that bag the first time someone is willing to dangle it. Don't look back.

Rob Chudzinski jumped at the first head coaching opportunity he was given.

He might never get a shot to be a head coach again.

And he put $14M in the bank for it. Who knows, had he not taken that opportunity he may not have gotten another one. Josh McDaniels probably thought he'd have his pick of jobs this year after spurning the Colts at the last minute last year. No one came knocking again this year.

But that's like being kitchen manager for Morton's then being asked to be a GM for McDonald's. 

[CRA]

Joe Brady has been part of 3 NFL wins as an OC and this is his first year as a NFL OC.  I think we are safe for the moment.   Joe Brady getting a HC offer would be totally unprecedented at this stage.

If the goal is cash, I can understand.

We're talking about ultra competitive, Type A personalities here though. If his prime motivation is to be a winner and a success, it's another matter.

There are bad situations and there are situations that nobody could overcome. 

As much as we like to mock them, ATL is a pretty decent situation for a new HC, as long as a quality GM is hired. Lots of offensive talent, supportive but not overbearing owner, enough resources to succeed but not in a media pressure-cooker. 

NYJ is only an option if your objective in football was to take the money and run, quite literally. If you want to have an actual career that lasts longer than the average mid-round rookie lasts in the NFL, it's not an option.

People who have succeeded in coaching this game to get to the point where Brady is aren't just in it for the money. Obviously the money is important, but so is long-term career success, and you make more money by being good over 30 years than you do escaping to the Caymans after taking the Jets for a ride. Taking a job like that as a very inexperienced HC would indicate to me that he's either a) absolutely delusional and being advised very poorly, or b) doesn't actually believe in his own coaching abilities to the point where he'd rather cash in way before he has to.
