Semi-relevant: NFL.com: "Five coordinators next up for a head coaching job"

4. The coach: Adam Gase, offensive coordinator, Denver Broncos

Recent history: Just 36 years old, Gase latched on with the Broncos in 2009 as a wide receivers coach and climbed the ladder from there. He was named offensive coordinator prior to the 2013 season.

Reasons for optimism: Gase has spent the past few seasons working with Peyton Manning, which has been a king-maker among offensive coordinators. But more important than that, Gase has taken the responsibility to another level. In the latter stages of his career, Manning's preparation has become more maniacal than ever. Gase has been in lockstep, answering late-night text messages and trying to beat the first-ballot Hall of Famer to the facility.

Why now?: There are only a handful of teams that are well-quarterbacked in this league, and there are plenty more that are eyeing possible franchise cornerstones in the next two years via the draft. Gase will be a nice fit for a young quarterback coming into this league. He's engaging, smart and approachable.

Ideal destinations: Like Jackson, we see Gase as an ideal fit for a franchise that has a developing quarterback -- or plans on developing one. Oakland, Tennessee, Washington and Cleveland come to mind.

5. The coach: Darrell Bevell, offensive coordinator, Seattle Seahawks

Recent history: After working with Brett Favre in Green Bay, Bevell ran his own offense in Minnesota before taking a job in Seattle, where he's been the offensive coordinator since 2011.

Reasons for optimism: Bevell has another year to show how he can work with changing talent and how he can further develop a franchise quarterback. Bevell saw the Seahawks part ways with some valuable weapons over the past two years but has managed to keep the offense viable. His ability to adjust the scheme for Russell Wilson will go a long way in the eyes of some owners who want to take a step forward offensively.

Why now?: The Seahawks were on such a roll last season that Bevell ended up missing out on the prime carousel season. If for some reason Seattle is bounced early from the playoffs this year or ends up missing them altogether, he'll be one of the first coaches to hear his phone ring on Black Monday.

Ideal destinations: Bevell has worked in a few different situations but would likely fit in a place where the groundwork for a strong run game is in place. We like him for the Jets, Miami, Carolina or St. Louis.

Honorable mentions: Kyle Shanahan, offensive coordinator, Cleveland Browns; Joe Lombardi, offensive coordinator, Detroit Lions; Frank Reich, offensive coordinator, San Diego Chargers; Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator, New England Patriots; Bob Sutton, defensive coordinator, Kansas City Chiefs.

 

Number 1 made me lol.

I think Gase can become a good HC.

 

Lombardi is a interesting one (just on name alone) but I'd have to see more than just one year from him. From what I've seen from Detroit it's the same offense the Aints run so he needs a little bit more creativity lol.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
