Interesting tweets from the lady reporter in DC who posted that Dan Quinn wants to coach the Falcons...

The Raiders head coaching job is a shootout between GM and owner. You have to assume the owner wins. They always do. #Raider

I'm told by those involved with all 3 sides GM- Sparano Owner- Del Rio #Raiders

ESPN Dave Pasch @ DavePasch 2h

Todd Bowles has the right demeanor to handle New York.

Calm. Smart. Prepared. We knew it was only a matter of

time.

FOX Sports Jay Glazer @ JayGlazer 2h

Todd Bowles to Jets is a fantastic move by them. He's long

overdue. Has an amazing eye for using personnel in best way

The Jet Press Michael Nash @ MikeNash15 6h

Pretty clear to me that it is down to Dan Quinn or Todd

Bowles as Head Coach for the #Jets . Thrilled by this. Both

would be excellent hires

San Francisco Chronicle Vic Tafur @ VicTafur 07 Jan

Raiders had interest in Cards DC Todd Bowles but were essentially told to get in line behind Jets, Falcons, 49ers & Bears.

USA Today:

"Imagine the NFL coaching search is a high school cafeteria. Todd Bowles just walked in with his tray full of food. He is the guy who gets to sit wherever he wants."

95.7 The GAME @ 957thegame 05 Jan

former Giants coach Jim Fassel says one guy who'd be a great hire for an NFL team looking for a head coach is #Cardinals DC Todd Bowles

Mike Jurecki @ mikejurecki 05 Jan

#Cardinals DC Todd Bowles is earning 2M per year, signed a

three-year extension in November. Bowles will be selective

with his options.

Jets beat reporter Darryl Slater @DarrylSlater 05 Jan

Todd Bowles now available for head coach interviews. He

wants to talk with Jets, per source. Would be homecoming

job.

Bowles was born and raised in New Jersey. Jets' headquarters, training center and stadium are all in New Jersey

Someone apparently reported that the Niners had hired Adam Gase as their new HC, but it hasn't actually happened yet.  Apparently though, it's looking more and more like it will, and possibly today.

 

PFT is reporting that the Raiders will likely name Jack Del Rio their head coach today as well.

 

Meanwhile, the Falcons have a second interview today with Lions DC Teryl Austin.

 

And, of course, John Fox is interviewing with the Bears.

Well, here's an item that will amuse John Fox detractors.

 

In their search for a new head coach, the Broncos are reported to want someone who "works well with quarterbacks".

Hmmm... Fox doesn't work well with QB's.... likely landing in Chicago.... Chicago QB known to many as "coach killer"... 

 

 

This is going to be entertaining.

Fox and Cutler definitely strike me as an 'odd couple'.

 

Delhomme's play could be erratic but he was always a 'good soldier'.  Certainly was never emo.

 

 

Here is the problem with the ATL job. Blank isn't ready to get rid of Dimitrioff but he's on the hot seat. So any coach that comes in better be ready for the possibility of a GM they don't have a rapport with.

 

As I recall, people who worked with Scott Pioli in KC absolutely hated him.  Word was he was a control freak to the nth degree.

 

So now Atlanta has given Pioli all the personnel duties while still giving Dimitroff "final say".

 

Kinda wonder how that's gonna play out.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
