One less opening.  We may just be looking at the current 5 vacancies.  If so, that's fewer that most years. I would still keep an eye on Belichick.  There's not an urgency to move for Kraft even if that's in the cards. 

I would watch Tennessee as well. I don’t know that Vrabel doesn’t leave or make enough demands intentionally so he’s told to leave.

I wonder if the Pats are in wait and see mode for Vrabel, supposedly they would be interested if he hit the market.

He can't just leave unless he takes a college job. He's under contract. Tennessee would have to fire him or trade him.

It’s probably too early, but @Leaky_Faucet are you hearing anything recently about the panthers?

That one is on my radar too, but if it didn't happen today, it's probably not going to happen.

I like Vrabel--

If Bill B switches teams, I am guessing the Chargers.  Established QB. 

The Raiders are going to hire their interim.  They have done it before, and frankly, Pierce deserves the job (went 5-4, I think, and is popular with the players).

Atlanta is an appealing gig.  They drafted TE and RB in the first round, which is odd, but both are good players.  I would not be surprised to see Vrabel end up there if Tennessee lets him go. 

Washington needs a QB and they have the #2 pick--which means they will be drafting a franchise QB.  This job may be the most attractive to any perspective coach for that reason.  The Commanders MAYE have 2 UNC QBs on the roster by mid spring.  Any coach would love that situation.

Carolina has a rep for firing coaches that do not get immediate results, but the QB position is a #1 overall draft pick who struggled mightily in 2023.  The owner is a meddler.  We are not getting a brand name coach--expect some young upstart who just started shaving every day.  Tepper needs to make some public proclamations to assure season ticket holders and perspective employees that he has learned his lesson.

Lotta smoke around Belichick and the Falcons.

Sorry should have clarified. By the first leave I meant get fired. By the second leave I meant be so ridiculous in his demands that they fire him.

I have no evidence but I feel like they are going to get Macdonald or Monken. 
 
Probably the second.

Possible.

Breer said he thinks Blank is ready to take a "big swing" with his next hire.

[Bigdaddy8523]

Wilks or bust. Until we correct a wrong it'll be hell in Charlotte. He will get the culture back in tack and I think Tepper may have a root on him since he let him go. Bring in a star Rb, make the o line grinders again. Hide Bryce for a season and then pick our QB in 25.

in addition to the #2 overall, Washington has 2 2nd rounders (3 picks in the top 40) and 2 3rd rounders.  That's a lot of young talent a new HC will be able to go get to fit whatever vision they have.
