In the last 24 hours, reports that Sirianni could be gone with an L, Tomlin could take a hiatus after this season, and obviously some have speculated about McCarthy’s safety if the Cowboys flop in the playoffs.

Any of these coming open would be brutal for us. Multiple coming open would especially sting.

McCarthy might not be too bad as it would put him on the market for the Panthers.

The standards are hilarious for these franchises compared to ours.

17 straight winning seasons and a Super Bowl win? Get rid of him.

Greatest coach of all-time with 6 Super Bowls?  Time to move on.

Playoffs every year?  Not good enough.

Just won a MNC?  Under-qualified for Charlotte.

Panthers?  Those are all re-treads, let’s grab that hotshot Memphis Coach or the guy that got fired in Indy. Perfect.

I like two Raven Coordinators, but for the record, if I owned Panthers I would be all over Harbaugh, Belicheck or Vrabel, I think either one of those guys would at least take us in the right direction.

Thinking on it some more, something about Macdonald seems right to me.  

He coached the first defense in NFL history to win the defensive triple crown (point per game, sacks & takeaways).  First in overall defense DVOA.  Was at UGA for a few years to start his career.  Has grinded in Baltimore for 7 years (with a successful detour for Jim at Michigan) Has both Harbaughs and a lot of the NFL thinking super highly of him.  

The dude also just commands that locker room.  Seeing what Kyle Hamilton, Roquan, Queen, & Madubuike, have spoke to, he sounds like an excellent candidate. 

Also re: BAL - last cycle Breer reported we wanted to interview Matteo and were declined.  We requested this time around and got an interview.  

Matteo & Macdonald could be a strong package.

Macdonald is slowly becoming one of my favorite candidates. It's between him and Slowik for me, assuming Ben Johnson heads to Washington and we don't show interest in Vrabel.

I wonder if Slowik will pull a Ben Johnson and stay another year. Since it is his first year being the play caller.

Gronk said NFL Fox pregame that Atlanta is coming after Belichick HOT but if McCarthy gets canned I can see Jerry and Arthur duking it out.

Funny because just reported on NBC by Mike Florio the Falcons want Raheem Morris.

 

Gotta love all these insiders with different reports.

I know our spot isn't great, but we seem to be lucking out and might fall forward into a good coach. The candidates like Slowik, MacDonald, Monken, and Canales might not be the super hot names (Slowik will be hotter after this weekend) but other teams seem to have their eyes set on different targets. LA (Harbaugh), Washington (Johnson), LV (Pierce), NE (Mayo), Seattle (Quinn/Vrabel), Atlanta (BB)....im not betting money that is how things go but it seems odd in general for a cycle with lots of openings.

    • I was watching the game last night (actually 330am) and they brought up that Aiden Fisher calls out the plays the other team is running.  This of course reminded me of Luke.  I haven't followed Indiana football at all but I wonder that the Huddle thinks of him as a future Panther Linebacker Aiden Fisher's pro prospects are promising, with a strong track record of performance and potential for success in the NFL. His ability to read the game and make plays with precision, combined with his leadership and physicality, make him a valuable asset to any defense. Fisher's development at Indiana and his selection as a first-team All-Big Ten linebacker in 2024 further solidify his status as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft   Thoughts?
    • There is no doubt that winning on the field is the ultimate goal.  But not far behind that is winning off the field / in the board room / at the bank. Beane has been meticulous in betting on Josh Allen being able to put on the cape and taking a band of misfits to the playoffs every year.  That drives tickets, merch, concessions, TV shares, etc.  Which all put money into the owner's pockets.  The coach only controls what's on the field, and even then, it's mostly out of his hands minus time management as he doesn't throw, catch, run or kick for those 60 minutes.  My guess is Beane has made that owner a poo ton of money through contracts (or lack there of), and staying the course financially when it's easy to overspend to get over the hump.  That's why he's still there and McDermott isn't.  My guess is they will hire a non-splash candidate that commands middle of the pack money for a head coach, and Beane will once again point out to ownership how he saved them $4-$6M with this hire, and they still have Superman on their team.  New England has a first place schedule next year, and that's likely good for 2 additional losses, which would give them the same record as the Bills had this year. I knew McDermott was gone if they didn't reach the Superbowl.
    • I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.
