Gopher Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) According to local reports, there is zero chance the Chargers hire BB as they don't have the $$ to pay him the $20-25M per year he would demand. They will likely hire someone younger/cheaper. Granted, just about anybody would be younger, so that doesn't really narrow it down much. Two names that were thrown out (purely speculative) were Dallas OC DC Dan Quinn and Detroit OC Ben Johnson.

Well...I hear he is vaccinated, and believes in the jab, so certain franchises will stay away from him. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 ATL HC is gone. Hopefully this will translate into better FF numbers because that offense is more talented than the numbers suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ron Rivera was also fired. Reading an article now saying the Eagles coach Nick Siriani should be fired. No doubt the Giants have had a rough 2nd half of the season. Start 10-1 then lose 5 of the last 6. I suppose it could happen, I can remember a few coaches fired after success including playoffs (Reid, Schottenheimer, McCarthy). I guess the Eagles kind of gave up after DAL went up 21-10 while they trailed 24-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I believe that is 5 openings now, somebody on a pregame show said there could be as many as 10. CAR, LAC, WAS, LVR, ATL Others that could happen CHI, NE, TEN Some on hot seat confirmed as returning NYJ, I heard some rumor the other day about Vrabel being a top candidate to replace Belichek, also that NE has already decided to move on.

I'm afraid we'll lose Vrabel although I don't think the problems are his fault. We've continued to draft poorly. They seem to like guys with lots of potential and a red flag or two that allows them to get guys cheaper (not just in the QB position). I think if we actually got a QB who could read a defense and control his arm we'd be back in the playoffs. Replacing Vrabel will just keep us in mediocrity longer.

I didn't even really know he was on the hot seat. The Titans seem undertalented, I tend to doubt the problems were really stemming from Vrabel. They don't have reliably good QB play, don't have very good receivers, and are relying on an old school ground and pound RB without much threat of passing.

stevegrab Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Vrabel was a good coach and will get another job. There was talk already that the Patriots would be looking to poach him from the Titans. The team had 4 straight winning seasons and 3 playoffs, going to the AFC title game in his 2nd season after he was hired. Then came the meltdown, mostly on offense as they only scored about 300 points, versus over 400 in 2019-21 (491 in 2020). They were around minus 60 in point differential. They had mediocre QB play including rookie Willis in 2022, then high draft pick Levis in 2023 who was also not great to start. Tannehill and others in mop up duty. An aging Henry and a few other older weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they spend the 1.01 pick on a generational QB without the best coaches they can get. They'll ruin Caleb Or will they trade down... And then do what?

I swear her goal is to create a situation where they get to the playoffs to keep ticket sales up but don't spend the money on enough talent to go any further. Canning the GM Robinson was a mistake. Now Vrabel, mistake. At least they're not as talent rich and win poor as the sorry Falcons. Maybe Levis will turn out to be a great QB but we really haven't had one that can read and pick apart a defense since McNair. More consistent mediocrity here we come. Sorry to see Vrabel go, as is the entire team apparently. But he'll do better elsewhere if he has better owner and GM support.

Can you imagine essentially a SB appearance almost every other year for 20+ years. Those NE fans must be spoiled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
