The path to becoming a coach or GM...

... might now be a little harder.

Over the past few years, the NFL Career Development Advisory Panel annually recommended highly qualified candidates for head coaching and GM jobs. As of now though, the NFL has disbanded that panel.

The reasoning behind it is apparently that some folks believed the members of the panel were using it to push their friends and favorites to the best jobs. Honestly, that's not real hard to believe.

On a related note, the NFL also released a list of qualified minority candidates for coaching and GM jobs (here). No surprise that Eric Bienemy heads the coaching list, well Saints Assistant GM Terry Fontenot and Bills Assistant College Scouting Director (and former Panther interviewee) Lake Dawson show up on the GM side.

Huddle's path to becoming a GM is to CRUSH Madden Franchise Mode or be really good at Fantasy Football.

The Sean McVay-Matt LeFleur-Arthur Smith-Vandy Endowment crew is the young circle that's being propped up regardless.

I fully expect Arthur Smith to be hired this coming offseason and wouldn't be surprised if Bienemy still doesn't land a HC gig.

I think pretty much everybody expects the NFL to push Bienemy hard.

He has the resumé for sure, but when you're working for a coach who's a genius people are always asking how much is you and how much is that coach.

Belichick's underlings have not exactly dispelled that thought when they have gone on their own. 

Of course, one disadvantage to getting hired in the NFL is that unless somebody good retires, they will be hired by a team that just had to fire their HC.  That is usually done for a reason. 

So, if you are Bienemy, this year you have your pick of the Lions, Jets, Texans, or the pick of the litter, the Falcons.  And there may be others, but you won't likely be the head coach of the Chiefs, Steelers, Bills, Saints, Packers, or Seahawks.

Andy Reid's coaching tree is kind of a mixed bag.

Doug Pederson won a Super Bowl in Philadelphia but now there's talk he might be fired.

Matt Nagy hasn't exactly set the world on fire in Chicago.

And then there's Ron Rivera. You might have heard of him.

What's your prediction?

Will Bieniemy (2 i's, 2 e's) be offered a position as head coach this time around?

Lynn may be out in LA which would be attractive with Herbert.

I forgot about them (but the Chargers have always been easy to forget about).  The safe money is Lynn is out  and yet another change is coming for them. 

I agree, that could become the pick of the available jobs.  Herbert could go through a "sophomore slump" as teams have more film on him, but I have seen nothing to indicate that if he does, he will not come out of it fine.  That makes it a very attractive job, especially compared to the rest.

Lynn is toast. He is often the sole reason they lose games.

Roster wise, it may be a great job.

Ownership wise, not so much.

Ownership wise, none of these jobs is exactly a plum.  Atlanta is probably the best of them, but their cap situation is sketchy, at best. 

Considering overall factors, this group is like choosing which devil you want to deal with.

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

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
