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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By panthers55 · Posted

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
