NFL Coach/GM Updates

[BeenPounding]

I wonder with theses GM/HC hires how attached are the coordinator positions?  I like the idea of Vrabel in regards to a leader and culture builder (like Wilks), but I want to know how he plans to innovate on his current style.  Frank leaned on his past success and showed a clear lack of growth/innovation. When Frank was hired, I really don't think Thomas Brown was THE plan since Frank was so insistent on calling plays.  Additionally, I feel Evero was forced onto Frank's staff.  (In this case, it worked out)

Do veteran retreads really hold an advantage in filling out a staff?  Do some of the young up and coming have an advantage because they are networking to fill out future staffs?

The GM hire to me, is the most important hire.  Let the HMFIC be the HMFIC.  I'd leave a blank check for Brandt Tilis or Nick Matteo, and let them build from there.  Chiefs and Ravens have been two of the most sustainable teams over the past 15 years.  I'd stay away from all things Eagles right now.  Picking from Detroit is not a bad idea, but I think the combination of Campbell and Johnson is the glue for that team.  Interesting to see what happens when you remove one from the other.

The advantage to guys that have been around a while is they've got a lot of good connections.

That doesn't guarantee they'll hire a good staff of course, but it helps.

Can you imagine the Chaos if Mike Tomlin is also let go.

 

Harbaugh/BB/Carroll/Tomlin surely we can get one of the 4 right?

Harbaugh or Tomlin for me. 

idk what the fascination with BB/Carroll is at this point of their careers. Atleast with a young coordinator you have the *chance* that you found a long term solution. 

[Mr. Scot]

Tomlin isn't getting fired, no there's a lot of speculation in my step away and take some time off.

Even if he does though, the Steelers still retain his rights under contract.

That model looked familiar…

Can't wait til this dude hires another Boomer retread. That will be the final nail in the coffin for this club.

he wont. Tepper goes extremes. College coach who never has sniffed the NFL to retread NFL coach who has been around for 30 years. I'm fully expecting a WNBA assistant coach to get the job

With Carroll out, don't know that there are any "full power / final say" coaches left.

I know Tomlin is pretty powerful in Pittsburgh if he stays. Other than that...

I didn’t realize Carroll had final say but makes it clear why Fitt was ok with it when he signed on with Rhule.

Saints firing Pete Carmichael...wow.
