This has got to be worst coaching cycle in years

Patriots- Vrabel: Really thought they would go outside the box here and go after Johnson or somebody different-thought wrong. Instead they replaced their coach with who they wanted the last coach to be.
 

Raiders- Carroll: Only way this works is if the plan is for his successor to be on the staff and mentor him the next 1-2 years. He will be 74 when the regular season gets here. He was .500 head coach at best his last few years in Seattle with John Schneider stacking his roster.

Bears- Johnson: Holy hell did this guy blow his future. He turned down all these teams to coach Caleb Williams and the Bears. FYI, the Bears have a worst record than us the last 10 seasons. And he gets to play against 3 playoff contenders in his division twice each a year.

Jaguars-Coen: Might be the best hire of this cycle. However, he has almost no experience. Dave Canales has more NFL consistency than him. He seems to bounce to and from college often. 
 

Jets-Glenn: Good luck to him dealing with Aaron Rodgers and Woody Johnson everyday. Their roster is horrible and full of more JAGs than ours. They are selling this feel good story about him being drafted by the Jets but it’s putting off real Frank Reich in Carolina vibes. I bet he doesn’t last the season.

 

Cowboys-?: Jones is interviewing his current OC and Former OC. So yeah whatever comes out of that. 
 

Saints-?: They don’t know, they are interviewing everyone. You can probably get an interview too if you fill out an application. My guess is Joe Brady or Mike McCarthy. However, they may just promote the interim guy since (just like New England) they can’t let “their guys” go.

We'll see how it plays out on the field. A lot of folks probably thought the Patriots were crazy to hire some guy that got fired by the damn Browns of all places and Rhule was one of the hot names on the market when we hired him. Hype means poo. It's all about Ws and LS.

Rhule being a hot candidate back then just goes to show how NFL professionals get caught up in hype trains just like everyone else can. Blech.

Rhule was a weird hype train to watch. He hadn't beaten anyone in college to warrant a ride on that train.

It's what I was raising alarms bells about at the time. The guy had never beaten a ranked team and his offenses were always very mediocre. I just didn't get why the guy was suddenly a hot NFL candidate. He'd turned around two floundering college programs. Okay, cool. So maybe he's ready for a big time college job. But NFL? I just didn't see the justification for the sudden hype.

Had to be the meatballs. 

I somehow always pictured the interview with Tepper like this

While McCarthy isn’t a very exciting guy, I think he was the best option for the Bears by far. They needed an experienced offensive HC, used to a somewhat messy situation. There is a lot that needs to get done in Chicago that goes way beyond just good play calling.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
