Maybe they hate Carson Wentz that much.

The Coaching Thread/Race to Black Monday: 1/6/25

1. The Bills were competitive this season. I think if they do the same next year he's fine, if they don't, he'll be on the hot seat in 2017. Safe next year. 2. Gus Bradley, the Jags' new owner has been a pretty patient guy so far (partially proven by the fact that he hasn't shown any desire to move the team when 3 other teams were dying to get to LA). If the team shows improvement regardless of whether or not they make the playoffs, I think he's fine next year. He may be on the hot seat in 2017. 3. Mike McCoy is on the hot seat now and if they don't improve he's gone next season. 4. Jeff Fisher, I think the move to LA is what stopped him from getting fired (and they were 4-2 in their division beating the Cardinals once and the Seahawks twice). I think the team changes a lot heading out to LA to make a big splash and give LA it's own team, not St Louis' castoffs. Fisher's gone after next season unless they make the playoffs, regardless of whether they improve. 5. Jim Caldwell should be fired already, so I agree with Taylor 36, he's gone midseason (the guy sucks at everything but getting your team in position to get the #1 pick). 6. Garrett just signed a 5 year extension and Jones has a strange infatuation with Garrett and always has (he was a 3rd string QB for the Cowboys back in the day). He desperately wants Garrett to be his HC for the remainder of his life. Garrett is safe as long as Jones can think of another reason the team underperforms. Garrett is going to be there for at least 2 more years, IMO. -

No, he'll end up going to the 49ers so he and Chip can finally form the collegiate dream team. -

I sort of put him in the same class as Marty Schottenheimer. The guy's teams were almost always competitive and his players often let him down in playoff games (like the INT with San Diego that ended up being fumbled and giving the other team the game). Lewis' team SHOULD have won the game. They had it and the bone head personal foul handed it to the Steelers. It's like the missed FG for the Vikings. I don't blame Zimmer for that. I actually think Coughlin gets more out of the players he has. I mean, look at the garbage NY has been playing with over the last few seasons. Sure, they haven't been good, but which players from their team have gone on to have success elsewhere? I can't think of a single name. He'd do great getting the best out of Murray and the other RBs, Bradford would be perfect for his team (Eli's not much different, just more healthy). I honestly think most of the Giants issues come from Reece, not Coughlin. So, we can all look forward to the Giants continuing to draft poorly and sign really garbage free agents. ...of course, the rest of the NFC East can look forward to this, if the Eagles hire him: -

I've heard him praise his brother professionally. I've also heard him say that they talk several times a week. What that translate to for me is that he loves his brother, is proud of him, gives him advice and consults for him, and he's a football announcer and if he says, "My brother's the best. The Redskins are the best. I hope they kill the opponent today so we can go hang out and buy beer and laugh about it later" then he'd be fired. There's no relationship issue here and really no clue that there is one. You can read anything into it you want (good or bad) because they do a pretty good job of allowing Jon to keep his job by not acting like the only team in the NFL he want to win is the one his brother is coaching. Now, if he ACTUALLY went to the Eagles then, current or not, I'm fairly sure there would be relationship problems from now on. -

Agreed. Ridiculous rumor. There's no way Gruden is going to go to the Giants or Eagles and play his brother twice a year. Not even the Harbaughs were that ruthless. -

I agree. I've never really been that impressed with the guy. He had good personnel in Chicago and they made it to one SB where they had a major meltdown and never got close again, from what I remember. He had 5 winning seasons out of 9 in Chicago. The guy did fine, but it's not like he's John Madden or anything. I'm not worried if he comes to the Giants or Eagles. Neither team has the type of personnel Chicago had while Lovie was there. -

I'm glad Payton is being retained by the Saints. At least that's one decent coach not on the market for the Giants and Eagles to take a look at. I'm also glad that Reece is doing the hiring for NY and Lurie is going to have to find a GM before he finds a coach (assuming he doesn't do his hirings in the Cerrato order). I'll be really interested to see how all these teams do finding new coaches. We're at, what, 7 coachless teams now? (Miami, Titans, Browns, Bucs, Eagles, Giants, 49ers). The really crazy part is that I think most of those organizations are dysfunctional. Certainly the 49ers, Titans, Browns, and Bucs. Someone could go to Miami, Eagles, or Giants and assume they'll have a fair shake, but the Giants and Dolphins GMs aren't great and the Eagles don't have a GM. Not sure where I'd rather be if I were a coach deciding on a team right now. -

Yeah, that's crazy. I thought for sure he was out of there. Maybe he got the team pregnant and committed out of obligation, cause there sure doesn't seem like there's any love there. -

Well, if McCoy and DJax were still there, you'd be right. Andy Reid seemed to have some pretty fast dudes. It was actually a perfect team for Kelly to fall into because of all the speed on it. Then he became GM and began getting rid of all his fast guys who were perfect for his "fast" paced offense and now he's sitting at home eating pork grinds and crying himself to sleep with the shades drawn. I actually started cracking up so hard my wife was asking what was going on from the next room. I applaud you. Yeah, I'm not sure what they're hoping to find in their next coach. Granted, Rufus is right, he does make some really crazy decisions sometimes, but overall the guy was good. But the Giants have been making terrible personnel decisions since their first SB. Seriously, I'd be shocked if they had any more success in finding guys to fit their offense and defense than Vinny did while he was here (sure, that's probably a great exaggeration, it just seems like they've been tearing their team down brick by brick). The team just seemed to die as their SB contributors retired. They haven't found anyone to play RB, LB, DL (besides JPP), OL, their DBs have underperformed. That's just a quick shot from the hip, but I think it's pretty accurate. However, as a Skins fan, I'm like, "Sure guys, it's a great idea to join the coaching search race this year, when everyone else is doing it. I'm sure it will turn out GREAT...for us." -

I don't think they do. Not all the way around anyway. I think they've got some speedy RBs and one fast WR (Josh Huff, maybe there's another I'm forgetting), but other than that, I don't think they have much. If Shanny is headed to Philly, then I also can't see him getting another RB to go with the 3 they already have. That's a pretty solid group and there's a lot of money spent on RB already (Mathews, Murray, Sproles). I wouldn't really be bothered if he went there, he'd likely want GM power and that would save us...also, Mark Sanchez (terrible) and Sam Bradford (a mostly healthy season this year, probably will keel over next year).... -

Especially since they have to interview a minority for the job before hiring someone. It wouldn't be the first time, but they could have league intervention (fine or something) coming to them if this is true. Not that I really care. It's the Browns. Vince Lombardi couldn't get them to win consistently. I actually looked at every team since we won the SB and the Browns and, I think, Lions had the lowest winning percentages by a lot. I can't remember exactly, but they were awful. Considering how futile we've been, we weren't even close to their level of suck. -

He will probably be the "hot" coach at the end of the season, so he could have any open job he wants. I can't stand the guy, but he's earned it. -

Pretty much like the Colts regressed while Caldwell was there. Dude is a marshmallow. Colts 14-2, 10-6, 2-14 Lions 11-5, 1-7 He sucks. He never had to coach while Peyton was there and then when Peyton was out and he suddenly had to actually coach he was screwed. I don't know what happened in Detroit, but sort of the same pattern.
