NFL Coaching News

[Mr. Scot]

A thread for coaching news in general...

Still uncertain whether anything happens with Rhule and the Panthers, but as of tomorrow teams who are or have moved on from their head coaches can start interviewing, and anything that happens could at least potentially be relevant to us.

Already got an early report from LaCanfora on the Jags job...

LaCanfora reports the Jags are looking into Pederson, Caldwell and possibly Leslie Frazier.

Sounds possible they may be focused on retreads for now, but a lot of folks expect them to give their former QB (Leftwich) an interview at some point.

Also, a fun offseason rumor...

There's been some speculation that the Bears are going to try and get Sean Payton away from the Saints.

Not real sure how that's supposed to happen (and don't remotely expect it to) but damn that would be fun to watch

[PandaMan]

After the Urban Meyer clusterfug they’ve gotta go for an established NFL winner like Pederson.  Caldwell would be good to fix their culture but they’ll probably go for the flashier hire in Doug.  Joe Judge is apparently staying in NY, so the turnover isn’t very high this year.  Sucks for us if we ditch Rhule next season and there’s a run on coaches

[Mr. Scot]

About the only other coach it seems pretty much everyone agrees is dead meat is Matt Nagy.

Have seen some speculation on Mike Zimmer but nothing appears to be definite there.

Lol could be a trade like Gruden. Unlikely though.

Sounds like even more reason to dump Rhule this year.  We won't have to compete with as many open positions for candidates.

I’ve got it!

it came to me like jolt.  Was almost asleep.

Matt Rhule is the Marty Hurney of coaching.

Closer to the Mike Brown.

Its a crime he hasn’t been hired yet.

You must really hate Hurney to discount all his success by putting him in the same category of failure as Rhule

[Proudiddy]

And this thread seems like as good of a place as any to share this reminder again - when we offered Rhule the job, instead of accepting immediately, he took the contract offer to the Giants and asked them to match it in hopes he could use us as leverage and take that opening from Judge who they were locking in on.  They rejected him.

Yet another reason to fire his slimy, sorry ass.

Yup. Doug Pederson is a perfect fit for the Jaguars.

More than you’ll ever know.
