Could not believe that I could not find a "Black Monday" thread except the one about Mayo.  I have some dirt that I love because I hate New Orleans--they stole our basketball team, they give us hurricanes, and they are stupid. And from Google Earth, New Orleans looks like the nation's twat.  For reference, Tampa Bay is just as bad about the hurricanes, but they did not steal our basketball team and they are more like a venereal wart on the nation's penis--big difference.  Sorry for the offensive metaphors--had to be said.

Now more facts with commentary:

  • Mayo out in New England.  While he was never a coordinator, could he be a candidate for the DC job here?
  • Vrabel to interview in New England.  This is very significant because before the Mayo firing, Vrabel was considered an option in New Orleans.  They wanted him BAAAD.
  • Jaguars fire Pederson.  He deserved it.
  • Giants to keep head coach (Daboll) and GM (Schoen)
  • Bengals fire Defensive Coordinator (Amarumo).

As much criticism we give Tepper for firing quickly, can you image the Giants fanbase hearing that Mara will keep Daboll and Schoen after that disaster of a season? Especially with them being on Hard knocks and letting Saquan walk because he isn't worth it and won't rush for 2000 yards. Schoen actually saved the Panthers from paying $28 mill per season for Brian Burn's 8 sacks.  I prefer an owner who knows that something isn't working and firing quickly than wasting time on something that isn't.

Mara has 2 Super Bowls to show for his ownership tenure, I think he deserves a pass despite how absurd it is to keep the crew from this year around. Tepper has a pair of 7 win seasons to show for his ownership in 7 years. But yeah I'd be pretty pissed if I was a Giants fan.

Amy word on Raheem Morris?  I am shocked he hasn’t gotten fired

I really like him as a coach/person, but man they were picked to run away with the division and finished below .500.

Raheem probably gets a reprieve because Penix seems to be a good qb.  The Falcons seem to be in the same boat as us, the offensive pieces are set, just need to upgrade the defense.  

Well Morris is a defensive guy and Canales isn't so that's kinda a significant difference there. I'm glad they're keeping Morris around. He's got a decent size sample size as a HC at this point and just isn't very good. But the Falcons are kinda in limbo regardless of coach -- not sure I totally agree Penix will be good. He's been pretty underwhelming in his limited action except vs. us but we were literally the worst D in NFL history this year lol so I wouldn't read too much into that game. And even if Penix is ok, that Cousins deal and cap hit totally hamstrings them the next few years while he's on his rookie deal anyways. Just a stupid offseason from them last year, including keeping Morris as HC.

I said Penix seems to be.  He made some great plays.  He made some not so great ones.  To small of a sample size to be sure though.  But if I were a Falcon fan, I would be hopeful at least.   

Did they keep Morris or was he a new hire?  I thought they hired him after firing Smith in Jan of last year.  Might be misremembering though.

  • Daboll is safe. 
  • Stefanski is safe (or so they say)
  • Callahan should have been fired already but probably won't be. 
  • Wouldn't be surprised if Pierce gets fired, but I think he did well enough to save his job at the end of year. 

There are quite a few GMs that need fired, starting with Chris Ballard and Andrew Berry. 

If I had to rank the current HC openings it would be:

1) Patriots- Promising young QB; FO that knows how to win; probably more adaptable to move on from "Patriot Way" than people think.

2) Jaguars- Talent on roster; easy division; nice weather; but have to deal with Baalke and Khan.

3) Bears- Ryan Poles is overrated; Chicago is almost as bad as NYJ.

5) Saints- Culture refuses to move on from 15 years ago; cap issues; stubborn GM.

6) Jets- More dysfunctional FO than Carolina

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
