The coaching carousel


Recommended Posts

Yeah, the Raiders need a full on rebuild and there's no place for a coach on the wrong side of 70 in that. I think everyone involved there thought that team was a lot closer to competing than they actually were and that's why they hired Carrol and he brought in Geno then they drafted a RB high in the 1st. Those are all win now type moves for a team that proved nowhere close to winning now.

Pete Carroll fired.

Makes sense.  They are drafting their franchise QB, so they need to bring in a new HC too.  It's normally a package deal, if not a 3-way package with the GM too.

Geno Smith has an $8 mil guarantee due March 15th and the cap hit is not high for getting rid of him($18.5 mil total), so don't be surprised if they attempt to move him or cut him. I think the next HC will have a say in that.

TBH, I would very much like to get my hands on Smith to shore up the QB situation for at least a couple of years. Price dependent, of course.

Matt Ryan president of football operations for Falcons

Tom Brady for the Raiders 

Why do people think this works??

Matt Ryan is a smart dude. I think he’ll do well there.

By all accounts tom Brady is a moron.

john lynch is doing pretty well for himself. John elway too.

also titles are different across teams. Rich McKay has had like six jobs for the falcons he must have the best cocaine connection in Atlanta.

I may be really off on this, but I seem to remember Elway was ran out of the Broncos building and relieved of his duties several seasons ago.

Off the top of my head, why couldn’t it? Think Brady or Ryan would have signed Cousins to 100 mil and then used the 8th pick to overdraft Penix? 
 

I don’t really know about Brady, I was under the impression that he had a limited role there in Vegas. How much is he really involved?

Ryan seems to be intelligent and stable. 

The biggest challenge with former players coming into those positions might be will they be good with 100 hour work weeks?

It’s way worse than that.

they agreed to a contract with Kirk during the legal tampering period, still honored it even though his physical was horrible, panic drafted Penix when they realized Kirk couldn’t play from under center, and here we are.

Fontenot also knew his job was on the line this year so he traded a 2026 first ton double dip on the pass rush.

now Kirk is probably gone and Penix isn’t a good bet to be healthy to start next season.

just a disaster.

    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they
