how do you get on this list? the head coaching prospect list always seem super exclusive for no reason. 

- Late thirties coordinator of a unit that's doing really good

- Coordinator connected to an offense that's setting the league on fire (everyone near Andy Reid)

- Member of an NFC East team to drive clicks (Moore, Kevin O'Connell)

- Anyone who's dad knows where some bodies are buried (Turner)

Number 1 on that list is Robert Saleh, 49ers DC.

Have a feeling someone is going to get burned by him. They wanted to run him out of town last year and now all of a sudden he is a hot name. The reason why is they added a ton of talent this year. Bosa, Kwon, Dee Ford were all big additions and Richard Sherman is back to his pre-injury self. So no wonder they the defense looks amazing. The DL has something like 5 recent 1st rounders.

I’m always skeptical of of guys like that. My best example is Brian Bullock who was an “offensive genius” when he had Cris Carter and Randy Moss then never had even a decent offense with the Ravens. I’d rather find the guy that turns a talentless offense/defense into a top 10 one than a guy that takes an ultra talented one to the top offense/defense.

Yeah, the lists have a tendency to favor guys who just got hot this year. And a lot of those one-year wonders wind up being fools gold.

Someone last year said everybody was looking for the next Sean McVay when they should have been looking for a guy like Frank Reich.

Not saying I agree, but it isn't a stretch.  Newton played some of his best ball as a passer under him prior to his injury and he, at the very least, has helped coach up an UDFA QB in Kyle Allen.  I can see why a team would maybe be interested.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
