Tom Gamble, San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel: A name on the cusp, Gamble has pro and college scouting background, as well as coaching experience. He interviewed in St. Louis last year; that the Niners have sustained last season's success only helps his cause.

John Idzik, Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration: Idzik is a sleeper to keep an eye on, because of his versatility. He's a business-side guy who runs the team's cap, but he also does some college scouting for Schneider and has a wealth of experience with franchise rebuilds, going back to Dungy's Bucs.

Marc Ross, New York Giants director of college scouting: A finalist in Chicago last year, Ross is in the running for the Panthers job now. The book on Ross: He's a good communicator and evaluator with, as one Giants official put it, "an executive skill set." One question that came up in my research: Can he win the interview with the owner?

I quoted the ones I find most interesting. I'm a huge fan of Tom Gamble, and I think he could definitely be in the running for Carolina. I like John Idzik, and found it interesting with the "franchise rebuilds" part. And, of course, the fact that Marc Ross' says that he's "in the running" for the job.

I like that list.

(1) Tom Gamble

(2) John Idzik

(3) Marc Ross

Ross seemed like the hot name for a lot of the fans at the moment but I like Gamble and Idzik above him.

Gamble, SF:

Crabtree, Iupati, Anthony Davis, Willis, Bowman, Vernon Davis, Kaepernick, Culliver, Aldon Smith

John Idzik, Seattle:

Earl Thomas, Chancellor, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Bruce Irvin, Sherman, Carpenter, Browner

Marc Ross, NYG:

Nicks, Cruz, JPP, Prince, Linval Joseph, Kenny Phillips, Marvin Austin, Hosley, David Wilson

If Ross is it, does that not imply Perry Fewell? Who knows though.

I'm fine with Ross too, an up and comer from a winning organization. The ties with NY are there already. JR is close to the Maras'.

Not completely. Keep in perspective that when Dirmitrov came to ATL, he hired a coach outside the Patroits coaching staff and instead went for a Jaguars coach named Mike Smith, seems to work out so far.

I could see Ross doing the same and bring someone unknown in like a Gus Bradley or Winston Moss or break tradition and bring in an offensive guru like Rick Dennison or Tom Clements.

Good stuff, Ruff. In addition to these three, I also would like to see Omar Khan (Steelers) and Tom Telesco (Colts) get consideration. Both have a wealth of experience working with winning organizations. Kevin Abrams (Ass't GM/Giants) and Brian Gaine (Ass't GM/Dolphins) may also be worth a look.

      Souring on Canales

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I have no strong opinion either way. I mean, for those who are out, do you really expect Tepper to hire anyone better? So far, Canales has probably been his best coaching hire. Granted, that's an extremely low bar to clear but I'm just saying it's not like there's a line of great candidates beating down the door begging to work for Tepper. Going 5-5 with the worst QB play in the league isn't terrible. Now with that said, I expect to start getting the hell beaten out of us now that the Saints have shown what I thought was obvious all along - sell out against the run and stack the box and absolutely force us to have to throw the ball and it basically makes the game unwinnable for a Bryce Young QB'd team.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By amcoolio · Posted

      You're letting your hatred for him cloud your judgement, you can't say with 100% certainty that Bryce can't play anywhere else, especially since everyone here said the same about Darnold and Mayfield and are now backtracking to say "well they had the skills all along"... absolutely nobody was saying that at the time. You are forgetting that the Panthers are currently a poverty franchise that taints everything they touch, it is absolutely in the realm of possibility that Bryce sits for a few years and then looks like Mac Jones does right now. But I agree that it won't happen here, and the Panthers have to move on.

      Official Week 10: Saints @ Panthers Gameday Thread

      That was me. Overall it has tightened up. Kickoffs are good. FGs are good normally. Punting game is good. PR isn’t bad. I didn’t see what happened on the block, who let the guy through. I knew we were putting a couple of new guys out there but thought they we gunner types. Chisena.
