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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
