'Coaching Carousel' passes the halfway point

The Bills were the first, hiring Rex Ryan when he didn't want to wait on the Falcons.

 

Next came the Jets, who decided not to let Todd Bowles leave town without signing (he was scheduled for a second interview with the Falcons the following day),

 

Word just a little while ago that the Raiders have given Jack Del Rio his 'dream job'.

 

San Francisco is so far the only team so far to go in-house, choosing longtime, well respected DL Coach Jim Tomsula as their new HC.

 

That leaves the Bears, Falcons and Broncos jobs still up in the air.

 

The Bears are interviewing - and many think they will hire - John Fox, who departed the Broncos via 'mutual agreement'. The Bears search was under the watch of consultant Ernie Accorsi, who tinfoil hat wearers believe helped usher Fox out of Denver by tipping him that he could get the Bears job.

 

Adam Schefter says the favorite in Atlanta is Dan Quinn, but they also strongly like (and just gave a second interview to) Lions DC Teryl Austin.

 

And the team with the longest path still ahead of them?  The Broncos, who have expressed interest in Gary Kubiak (who says he's not leaving Baltimore), Rick Dennison, OC Adam Gase, Quinn and Austin.

 

Looking like one of the trio of Quinn, Gase and Austin will wind up without a chair when the music stops.

 

Meanwhile, former Bills Coach Doug Marrone, who opted out of his Bills contract thinking he'd get another head coaching job immediately, is now left scrambling for an opening.  Marrone was seen in Jacksonville, apparently inquiring about the Jaguars OC job.

 

And one last note: The Harbaughs have traded a family member between teams, as Ravens assistant Jay Harbaugh is leaving his uncle John's team in Baltimore to join his father Jim's team in Michigan,

 

Interesting offseason so far.

If Gase isn't the HC in Denver, it's a decent sign Peyton is done.

 

I think Elway really wants Kubiak, but if he's serious about not leaving Baltimore, who knows?

 

Kubiak's officially not under contract, so the Ravens can't block him.

 

Failing kubiak, they could go after Dennison instead.

Del Rio is reported to want Marc Trestman as his OC.

 

Word also that the Niners hired Tomsula without ever actually interviewing him.  Apparently they just decided that they didn't want any of the guys they actually did interview.

 

Also being reported that Vic Fangio won't be retained as 49ers DC.  Wonder where he winds up (In Chicago with Fox, perhaps?)

Earlier today it was being reported that the Niners had settled on Adam Gase, but that was either false or premature (I'll go with false).

Think Gase would fit here? Not asking if I think he'll land here, just could he do good things if he were here.

I like that he's young and that would give Cam some new blood (life/creativity). Other than that, don't know much about him.

Gase is one of those guys that's in kind of an unfortunate position.

 

Fair or not, people are always gonna ask "Well, how much is really him and how much is Peyton?"

 

So truthfully, it's kinda hard to say.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
