This has got to be worst coaching cycle in years

[ProcessBlue2]

Vrabel won't be there long. He would have been great going somewhere new like New York or Vegas but they are just trying to replicate past success again. 

Bringing back McDaniels as OC will help although I don't know how he does with Drake Maye. I think they may have some light success early on (Wild Card or .500) but this is going to collapse in a couple of seasons. The Patriots are doing everything they can to latch on to their golden years. 

New Orleans is in a similar situation, I wouldn't be surprised if they hire Rizzi since he is one of theirs. Honestly, I hope they do so they can continue to degrade year by year until they have to rebuild.

Patriots- trying to reclaim the past. Nice idea, but the past is the past and it can be er be replicated....nor should it. Move forward. Progress is not a bad word. Regression is. Vrabel is not the fix they think it is.

Raiders- don't expect an old guy in his 70s to save you. If you think that's the right idea 1) you're going in the wrong direction and 2) you'll only be disappointed

Bears- Johnson seems like a scared and uncertain guy who is lacking in confidence who is only doing this because he thinks he has to do that some destiny can be fulfilled. Bears will be looking to replace him in 2-3 years.

Jaguars - seems like a whim decision for Coen and the Jags. Neither party has a clue what they are doing.

Jets - I admire Glenn for going back to his old organization and for the ownership for hiring him,  it I think this is a crappy situation for him that will only result in failure...not because of Glenn,  hit because of the situation. Pure poo

 Cowboys - guy that is too old trying to control the game. See comments on raiders. Same as applies here. Coaching decision will be made by a guy who 1) shouldn't be making the decision and 2) will micromanage the poo out of the situation

Saints - fug em. Best hire they could have made was Glenn (who was probably the best potential hire this cycle. Rest of the choices are poo.

There’s about 6 HC vacancies a year. Based on history we know all of these hires won’t work out.

Forgot about that guy, but yeah... I can see it. Jerry is going to go with someone he feels is familiar, safe, and that can be controlled or at the very least isn't going to work outside the box of what Jerry thinks is safe.

Everyone looks at Jerry as this bold brash man, but really he's just a scared old man with a big mouth who uses false bravado to cover up his fear of becoming obsolete and put out to pasture.

Bill Belichicks coaching tree is terrible lol just misses all over it

I do think Ben Johnson will end up being successful in Chicago.

Vrabel will get the Pats to mediocre possibly before he gets canned too soon.

Carroll will improve the Raiders but without a QB, they are fuged no matter who is coaching there.

Jags make a Canales-esque hire. More likely to bust than not, IMO.

The Jets are a disaster so I am sure Glenn will be unemployed in 2-3 seasons.

Cowboys....likely fired in 3-4 seasons of sub-Mike McCarthy levels of success.

 

The Saints being the last to not have a coach is very telling. The league as a whole sees the disaster looming there. Gotta love it.

Cowboys have all but confirmed Brian Schottenheimer

Down to NO

He's confirmed now.

(Lady Cowboy fan is meh on the choice)

I guess McCarthy gets the Saints job unless there's a surprise.

[Pazhoosier89]

Canales certainly would have been hired this cycle if we hadn't hired him.

He'll end up with Wilson probably or Drew Lock. Pittsburgh probably tries to work out a deal with Atlanta for Cousins or they get McCarthy or Darnold out of Minnesota. Fields goes somewhere else to compete.

After the Steelers dumped Wilson and Carroll got hired, the reunion rumors were inevitable.

Carroll ended up with a lot of locker room drama over his coddling Wilson in Seattle. Does he do it again?

I don't think it's realistic for him to develop a rookie unless there is going to be some unnamed successor at OC and Carroll is just there for mentorship and culture building.

There's a wicked little part of my brain that would love to see just how well Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and their respective egos could coexist

I remember laughing at Washington last year for getting “stuck” with Quinn. They have the last laugh now. Always good to wait and see with coaching hires.
