NFL Coaching / GM News

[Mr. Scot]

The Ross part? As for Pagano, I'm fully on board with his retention as a condition for a new coach. If Ingram makes a 2nd year leap and we get the slightest improvement out of the DBs then Top 10 might be the floor. He'll there's a small part of me that says effit and give him a shot at HC now, even if he's a year or 2 away. The Paganos may end up being the next Harbaughs.

Yeah, the part about Ross insisting on his own staff. That came from a Giants blogger.

There is some speculation that a few teams are just using him to satisfy the Rooney rule. Sad, but plausible.

Any word from out west on how his interview went?

Not really. As for any interest we initially had, it wasn't for Rooney purposes since Raye already took care of that. There will probably be a better sense of where people stand once the road show gets back to San Diego

[Mr. Scot]

Looks like the stories that Lombardi had the Cleveland job sewn up might be bogus.

Reports are they're interviewing candidates this week. George Paton is one. They've asked about Gamble too but I won't be shocked if he declines (he blew off the Jags request for a second interview)

[Mr. Scot]

Also starting to look like George Paton is going to be available for interviews fairly soon,

[UNCrules2187]

Was he part of the braintrust that decided on keeping Joe Webb over Sage Rosenfels? Cause that decision is really biting them in the ass tonight.

Wouldn't be the first (check his profile).

I've heard over the past couple of days that Kelly would be able to bring in a guy if he's hired, which is definitely not been decided on yet.

[Mr. Scot]

As of a quarter to ten, Kelly was still meeting with the Eagles.

They're apparently making a really big pitch for him (after earlier indicating they weren't that interested).

I guess his reported dinner date with the Browns is going to be a midnight snack.

He is going to leverage the hell out of those two teams and end up with a ridiculous contract.

[Mr. Scot]

Probably.

Kevin Acee confirms that the Chargers choice is down to Tom Telesco (Colts) or in-house option Jimmy Raye. He does give Steve Keim an outside shot though.

I'm starting to wonder if Marc Ross has body odor or something.

Conspiracy theorist might say he's tanking with everyone else because he wants to work for us.

(the whole idea is ridiculous, but hey...) :lol:

[Mr. Scot]

Browns now saying Chip Kelly and Syracuse coach Doug Marrone are "neck and neck" for their head coaching spot (from Ian Rapoport).

Sounds like they think they're losing to the Eagles.

[Mr. Scot]

Rapoport tweeted that as of 3 minutes ago, Kelly and the Eagles are still "having lunch".

(maybe they want to get him up to the same weight as Andy Reid before he takes the sideline)

[panther4life]

Bills hired Doug Marrone.

[Panthro]

At least we aren't the Bills!

*sigh*
