I actually feel the opposite about Wilks. I think he is a great DC but below average HC. The only reason he had "success" (6-6 record) was because he ran the ball 30 times per game and the players were relieved that Matt Rhule and his corniness was gone. People forget: Steve Wilks was dogged for being more conservative than Rivera and Fox in 2022. All the times he punted on 4th and short with Foreman in the backfield. Playing off coverage and getting picked apart all season and then getting beat over the top by the Bucs 3 times. Signing Norman and starting Keith Taylor/CJ Henderson instead. His unwavering loyalty to Al Holcombe. Better than Rhule? yeah. Better than Reich? Probably. Those are some low ass ceilings.

Personally, I think Johnson is going to Washington. He has a pick to get his franchise QB, and will be given free reign over an offense that has some key pieces already. People are underestimating Josh Harris, he will get somebody like Adam Peters and lure Ben Johnson in. I think Gus Bradley, Dave Canales, or Dan Quinn end up in Seattle. They are a sentimental fan base and I can see them bringing one of their own back.

Tabor got his interview today. I imagine we should be seeing more trickle through, especially since many of these teams are out of the playoffs. I imagine GM interviews will pick up as well.

Tabor will also interview. Likely just out of respect from the front office.

I don’t think so but maybe. Trading coaches is very sticky and why the Titans just decided to let Vrabel go instead of spending weeks making it work. I think it has something to do with they have to accept their new contract with the team they are being traded to or it’s voided. (I think)

We were actually competitive most weeks in 2001. 2010 was bad 2023 was equally as bad. I would give the tiebreaker to 2023 being the worst though because we don’t have a 1st rounder to look forward to. And despite the record, I think the 1998 season was harder to watch than the 2001 season. It was so dysfunctional. 1. 2023 2. 2010 3. 1998 4. 2001 (Despite record)

Panthers blocked Jaguars request to interview Evero for DC. Apparently Carolina plans to interview Evero for the HC vacancy. https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1745133973645197364?s=46

Yeah the guys at WFNZ are good. Tim, Dennis, Chris and the others.

C3 isn’t bad. The Roar with John Ellis and Billy Marshall is the one I listen to mostly. I feel like Ellis has backed off on his criticisms since he got his Panthers media credentials. John is really good at breaking down film and Billy has really good perspective.

Yeah I like Halaby, Dodds, and Kelly. Tills is okay. The rest can kick rocks.

Yeah from what I remember and older articles it looks like GMs are hired about mid month (15th-20th) and HCs are hired the the last week or so. Reich was hired on the 26th so we could see a GM in a week or so and HC in 2-3 weeks.

Do internal interviews typically get announced or leaked later? Curious if they will entertain Evero. Don't seem like he is getting much attention anywhere else.

Ed Dodds is the best GM Candidate so far and I don't think it's that close. Champ Kelly is probably 2nd and Halaby 3rd. Harley is literally only the contract guy, Brown is very very new in his career with a Giants team that is struggling outside of Daboll, Tilis is meh, Matteo and Greenberg just seem like Scott Fitterer clones when you read their background. Dodds and Kelly also have experience dealing with over involved owners (Irsay & Davis)

Ya know, could be looking for an analytics GM because he’s looking for that Roster Control HC

Sounds like they are going to use Morgan as the talent evaluation guy and new GM will be another Samir.

I have no evidence but I feel like they are going to get Macdonald or Monken. Probably the second.

Sorry should have clarified. By the first leave I meant get fired. By the second leave I meant be so ridiculous in his demands that they fire him.

I would watch Tennessee as well. I don’t know that Vrabel doesn’t leave or make enough demands intentionally so he’s told to leave.

*Thread for all NFL coaching & GM updates Everyone’s not even fired yet, and interviews are being requested.

He’ll retire or go sit on one of his guys staff to have something to do. Like Buffalo with McDermott or if Wilks lands somewhere as HC. I could see him having a DC or defensive assistant role like Dom.

We might…. MIGHT get a good enough GM that finds some hopeless dumbass that is willing to part with a very low first or a high second. But you can forget top 15

Ready for the new GM to send his ass somewhere. Don’t really care for what at this point
