I bet Bill Belichick would be on that list too.  It seemed like a lot of players just put up with his approach because they were winning.  Sometimes the coach you need isn't the one you want.  That's why you need a coach if you think about it.

lol don't think you're quite getting what I'm saying, because yes, I totally get that sometimes players don't enjoy playing for a great coach, and yea, I'd understand if Belichick was on that side of the list.

All those other guys on that list, I can see it, there are known things about all of them that would make us fans get why they're there.

I was literally asking WHY McVay was on that side of the list, as I'd never heard anything about him or his coaching style that would make players not want to play for him.  Not that I was just saying "hey, he's a great coach, why would anyone not want to play for him?"

This explains why the Panthers are not retaining their passing game coordinator, Nathan Carroll, Pete's son

Good hire for them. After Josh Patriot and Pierce (who I liked but he just wasn’t ready), they needed a legit actual head coach. Pete is a winner and will get their act together. Now they just need a qb. I’ve already seen Russel Wilson’s name floated out there to reunite with Pete.

It’s no way this ends well. I bet he makes the Raiders competitive but mediocre,and then once awful right before he gets fired.

I did not see this coming.  I’m genuinely surprised.

I heard rumors--after hiring Pierce from within, I guess they decided to the opposite route. 

I love having Carroll in the NFL--I hated the Seahawks, but I loved his love for the game.

Mike Tomlin, Andy Reid, and Carroll forsure. Possible: McDaniels.

I get that's the worst job in the NFL and all, but odd choice.......

If you listen to the media, it is starting to look a lot like McCarthy in Nawlins.   Not so fast...the odds say they get an old friend who was, according to some, thrown to the wolves, tarred and feathered, and then thrown under the bus in Carolina:  (odds from 1/24/25)

Not following the logic of this.   Unless the raiders are in complete disarray and need an adult to get things back to square 1

They do, they really do. And he's a culture building guy that is better at talking with this generation of players than guys 20 years younger than him.

He'll turn them around and into a winning team before he chooses to retire.

If he ends up in New Orleans, we're going to have hell to pay. He'll spend the first year or two trying to find the next evolutionary step from Cam to Josh to... And if he does it'll be lights out in the floundering NFCSouth.

There are a lot of other names on that list beyond Brady's that I'd rather see get that job, purely for the selfish reason that I'd want the Panthers to have an easier go of it.

Idk I do think ultimately Pete Carroll is a capable head coach but he's pushing his mid seventies and now he's going to be working under Mark Davis. And as far as his resume goes if I'm just being completely blunt when he was at his best in this league he will always be known as the coach who had the chance to win back to back Super Bowl's but arrogantly opted to take the ball out of the hands of Marshawn Lynch in one of the most obvious and simple run the ball scenarios in league history. He's kind of overrated.

I seriously doubt it, unless Josh Allen goes with him.

He'll be 74 when the season starts.
