The coaching carousel

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

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.

Matt Ryan president of football operations for Falcons

Tom Brady for the Raiders

They are retaining the GM per reports.

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 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?

Raheem Morris is the only coach in like a decade to get the Panthers into the playoffs and they fired him for it. Best coach we have had around here since John Fox. What a shame.

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.
