Observer article regarding Rivera/GM

[carpanfan96]

So basically the Jags are the only ones who've interviewed an outside candidate (Chargers interviewed in-house, Reid is bringing Heckert along for the ride - no doubt if Reid went elsewhere that Heckert WOULD NOT be in KC).

Pretty much, most of the interviews are scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Same goes with Coaches.

For example, McCoy has three interviews set up and 2 are for Saturday and one is on Sunday. That's pretty much how it looks right now.

Ok here's another thing. How many bosses would WAIT to fire somebody? That doesn't make any sense from a business perspective. I think he's going to deliver an ultimatum, and tell Rivera he needs to get his big boy pants on.

Anyone know when our Gettleman/Ross interviews are scheduled? While I'd assume them being during the weekend like most others, I haven't heard anything concrete about it.

Been no word that I've seen.

We were the second to ask about Ross, the first on Gettleman. If Keim is on the list, we'd be something like the fourth or fifth.

Here's something funny. Heckart and Pat Shurmur reunited under Reid in KC. Shurmur is expected to be Andy Reid's choice for OC.

And McNabb his backup QB.

Wonder if he rehires Juan Castillo to coach OL or Brad Childress as QB Coach.

No Solid information on that front. I'd expect that it would take place after the JR/Rivera meeting and that most of the interviews are scheduled during this weekend.

He has hired both of them, in those exact spots.

If Spags is fired in NO, expect him to be the DC. Though Reid might have already picked someone else.

Starting 2 see leaks on Andy's Staff. 3 known names so far: Juan Castillo as OL Coach, Shurmur as OC and possibly Childress as QB coach.

Dang it. I'd have loved to have a shot at Castillo.

Another potential assistant coach is gone as well:

Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken

Chargers have another coach vacancy to fill. Rich Bisaccia, special teams, headed to Auburn. Will be assistant HC in charge of STs/RBs.

Would have liked to see him run STs here...

[Proudiddy]

LOL @ Castillo.

I wonder how that convo went earlier in the season...

Andy: Juan, it's been a long time brother...

Juan: Yup.

Andy: You know and I know, Philly wants blood and there has to be a sacrifice.

Juan: Oh no, buh, buh...

Andy: It's cool Juan. I got this. Imma let you go IN PHILLY. Then imma leave Philly and re-hire you! Like it never even happened. Consider it a leave of absence, but money in the bank.

My first choice there would still be Toub or April. No word yet on either.

I'd rather have had Bisaccia over April (Eagles ST were pretty horrendous these past couple of years), but agreed on Toub. Have a hard time seeing him leaving Chicago if the new coach wants him. Plus, he's getting HC interview requests...may not want to make a lateral move.

Personal opinion: He'll get interviews but no offers. There are hotter candidates out there.

If Chicago does hire someone who wants his own guy, Toub's got an old buddy here.
