As does the Jets OC Mike LaFluer, but he doesn't seem to be generating much buzz right now.

Probably a year early. But it doesn't hurt to have a brother pumping out 13 win seasons. 

He's near the top of my list.

The guy everyone laughed at 2 years ago is coaching one of the best teams in the nfl in Philadelphia.

 

Mister was the leader of that crusade 

What "crusade" was there against Sirianni?

He had some kinda goofy moments early on (so did Campbell) but he's doing well now.

We should probably review the data on offensive-minded coaches since McVay was hired and kicked off this obsession.

2018

1. Pat Shurmur

2. Frank Reich

3. Matt Nagy

2019

1. Kliff Kingsbury

2. Freddie Kitchens

3. Matt LaFleur

4. Adam Gase

5. Zac Taylor

2020

Kevin Stefanski

2021

1. Nick Sirianni

2. Arthur Smith

2022

1. Brian Daboll

2. Kevin O'Connell

3. Mike McDaniel

4. Nathaniel Hackett

5. Josh McDaniels

I didn't include coaches with an offensive background that had solidified themselves as head coaches more recently since that doesn't seem to be exactly the theme (e.g. Jon Gruden, Bruce Arians, Doug Pedersen) although you could argue for that. Or Dan Campbell since he was a tight ends coach which is a bit different than the above.

What are the trends? 

1. Be wary of coaches who may have ridden the coattails of elite QBs (Hackett, Gase, +/- McDaniels) unless they were clearly involved in the growth of said QB (Daboll)

Possible 2023 examples: Leftwich, Dorsey, Bienemy

2. Be wary of coaches who served under a historically good head coach that has their fingerprints on the whole team (McDaniels, Nagy)

3. Probably doesn't need to be said after the traumatic experience of Rhule, but just to really emphasize it, be wary of college coaches (Kingsbury, Rhule, Urban Meyer).

Other than that, it's a mixed bag. Even coaches like Zac Taylor have looked pretty bad outside of his super bowl run; he's probably a Rivera level guy who isn't very good but can do enough not to completely impede elite play from his qb. Daboll looks the best on this list but it's so early only 6 games in. And he molded Josh Allen from a possible bust to the MVP frontrunner and possible hall of famer. How many candidates with that resume are you going to get?

With that in mind, Steichen seems like the clear cut top choice. He oversaw the development of Herbert and Hurts.

Then perhaps Kellen Moore depending on how the Cowboys play out the year, although they are really riding on the strength of their defense. Maybe Ben Johnson if the Lions keep up pace and the Pats game isn't the start of their descent back to Earth although that's a quick ascent from coordinator to coach. Guess it's good that we have the earliest jump start on the hiring

Can't help but think we are going to try Harbaugh again.

Guys like Harbaugh and Payton are gonna want a higher level of control than it sounds like Tepper is willing to offer this time.

I get the feeling the days of full control head coaches in Carolina are over.

      Raiders interviewing Panthers DC Ejiro Evero for a second time next week

      Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales.    January 2030 for both.

      I also look at his work there and match it up against the planned obsolescence that is part of the NFL as it sits now. Part of what creates parity here is that as a team ascends, the costs of its players go up, the position of its draft picks go down, it's great players age or get injured to often, their assistant coaches get poached for higher positions elsewhere. And even the best of managers can't hold that off forever.  Great managers can only play the shell game for so long, covering one hole in the team while another wears through, betting it all on a small cadre of veteran stars, sifting through the diamonds in the rough, hoping for something great. Sometimes they can do it smartly, sometimes they just break and give in to the wrong contract here or there in a desperate attempt to hang onto something. Sometimes the voodoo juju just runs out and they find themselves catching up to that can they've been kicking down the road and they end up in cap hell for a couple of seasons. And sometimes they're just the Jets. And the managers are also at the mercy of the whole coaching deal... great coaches eventually falter -- their schemes become old school, their locker rooms change. It just all wears out over time and that's good for the whole of the league.vReally, did we want the Patriots to have yet another decade of dominance?

      By just about every account he is extremely impressive in an interview setting. I don't think he would be getting so many interviews if it was just about ticking a box. I am not saying some aren't trying to hit that bird with a stone too but I think many of these teams do have real interest. One does wonder if his on field results have kept him from getting a few of these.
