Las Vegas Raiders

My Prediction: Mike Vrabel

Wild Card: Byron Leftwich/Bill O’Brien

 

Comments: Mark Davis’ obsession with the Patriots is real. Tom Brady is part of ownership now and will likely have a huge say in this decision. Brady will want to establish a winning culture and bring somebody in that understands what that looks like. Vrabel is likely that guy and won’t mind Brady overstepping at times for guidance. Byron Leftwich also spent time with Brady in Tampa and could have that relationship with him as well. Brady was close with O’Brien but I see this as a longshot. O’Brien appears happy at Boston College and the only program I see him possibly trading that in for is New England.

 

New Orleans Saints

My Prediction: Aaron Glenn

Wild Card: Joe Brady

Comments: Glenn and Brady both spent time in New Orleans but have been gone long enough to be a breath of fresh air. Glenn would help them fix their defense which is likely to see a ton of turnover this offseason. Joe Brady would likely energize the fanbase due to his success their and as the Offensive Coordinator for LSU during their championship run. New Orleans refuses to part ways with their identity established in the mid-2000s by Loomis and Payton. These guys bring enough of that familiarity but are still “outsiders” enough to make an impact.

 

Chicago Bears

My Prediction: Brian Flores

Wild Card: Pete Carroll

Comments: The Bears have a culture problem- Flores and Carroll can both help. Flores can win the lock room quickly and the Vikings lose their DC which is a win-win for the Bears. Carroll is interviewing with the Bears, but does he really want to take this on so late in his career? We will see.

 

New England Patriots

My Prediction: Ben Johnson

Wild Card: Bill O’ Brien

Comments: The Patriots are going to offer the keys to their crumbling kingdom to the most sought-after candidate this decade. With a young QB in Drake Maye, a ton of cap room, and full support from Kraft, he will be able to shape the offense into what he wants. Bill O’Brien has not confirmed an interview yet and is rumored to be happy at Boston College. However, can the Boston native really pass up an opportunity to coach his former and hometown team?

 

New York Jets

My Prediction: Rex Ryan

Wild Card: Mike Vrabel/Ron Rivera

Comments: Cleaning up this mess is not going to be easy and is likely going to take a strong personality who has coached before. Dealing with Johnson, Rodgers, Wilson wanting out, etc. Who would want this job? Well somebody with something to prove. All three candidates above have already interviewed and have established a winning culture at some point in their career. I think Vrabel gets bypassed in New England but manages to land a HC role this year. There is a chance Tom Brady recruits him to Las Vegas, so who better to bring in than the old Head Coach they have had the most success with the last 20 years or another similar personality in Rivera. Whether Vrabel lands here or Vegas, I would almost bet my net worth that Ashton Jeanty gets drafted there to replicate his success in Tennessee with Derrick Henry.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars

My Prediction: Kellen Moore

Wild Card: Robert Saleh

Comments: Jacksonville is probably the 2nd least desired job on the market since Trent Baalke will be retained. There is a chance that Saleh decides to take another shot at the HC role, especially to fix the 31st ranked defense but he would be wise to take a Defensive Coordinator role with a contender for a couple of seasons for the sake of his career (FYI his old job in San Francisco is open). Moore has been around a little while and seems to always be in the mix. Let’s be honest, they aren’t getting Ben Johnson and Moore is the most experienced offensive guy on the list.

Per me.

Flores and culture improver sounds strange wasn't he terrible for culture at the Dolphins 

They said he was really really tough. Some players loved it, other like Tua didn’t. Tua said he was too hard and broke his confidence. 
 

Either way he gave them back to back winning seasons for the first time in 20 years, so it worked.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
