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 love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.
    • Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
