Teams with vacancies:

Cleveland

Carolina

Teams with vacancies but that had interim coaches to finish the season:

Denver

Dallas

Minnesota

San Francisco

Teams potentially cutting ties with their current HCs:

Miami

Tennessee

Jacksonville

Oakland

Cincinnati

Houston

Teams suspected to make a change but coming out and saying they weren't:

San Diego

NY Giants

Unknowns:

Buffalo

Personally, I see Denver and Miami as being the front runners for Cowher and Gruden. I think Fox goes to Cleveland. Garrett and Frazier stay in Dallas/Minnesota. Oakland might hang onto Cable, and I suspect Kubiak will remain in Houston. Gailey also should stay in Buffalo.

That leaves us, San Fran, Tennessee, Jacksonville, and Cincy in competition for Harbaugh/the rest...

What about Singletary? I bet we can get him cheap.....and he is black. :D

Don't want him. Can't win with him. I would rather have no coaching staff and be unable to accept a positive penalty on every play than have guys like that. I want winners.

Now, to illustrate my point visually, I'm going to take my pants down for a minute. Just to demonstrate how we are all getting our butts handed to us in this search for a new coach.

Cable is out in Oakland. Mangini in Cleveland as well. And Lewis in Cincy is officially out as of now. Brown could sign him to a new contract but right now they are without a coach. Lewis was in the same situation that Fox was in.

Minnesota has already announced Frazier as the next coach.

And Houston has already said Kubiak is staying so...

I think New England proves how you can't put much thought into a coaches previous venture when evaluating him as being "good". I mean, the Patriots signed Bill Billicheck after he spent five seasons in Cleveland and only had one winning season! What the Patriots saw in him was something nobody else did.

Sometimes you have to wonder if certain guys just don't fit in certain systems. If the coach isn't bad, it's who he plays for.

For some reason, I think Mangini is a good coach. I think the Jets and the media circus that surrounded the team as a bit much and Cleveland is just bad, whether Mangini or Billicheck is the head coach!

There are even rumors out of New England, that when Billicheck's contract is up after the 2013 season, that Mangini is the top candidate to replace him... regardless of his past head coaching record.

BUT the bottom-line is.. you never know what to expect out of the head coaching carousel!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
