Wade Phillips and Bill Callahan’s names have come up as potential coordinators, which would make me feel a lot better.

Early favorite for GM is bringing back Andrew Berry. Only the Haslams would look to rebuild a front office which went 1-31.

Sounds like McDaniels wanted more change in the organization than the Haslam’s were willing to undertake. He wasn’t my first choice, but my biggest criteria was prior experience, so he was my top choice of what was left.

I can put aside anything and everything about the offense he…[Read more]

Maybe he’ll bring Kubiak as OC? Would be the only silver lining, here.

No reason? He didn’t want Johnny Football as his QB. Clearly a failure of a coach

I liked McDaniels getting a second go-around with Dorsey as GM and an established front office and power structure. He has a good and innovative mind for offense and gameplanning, and keeps NE fresh and reinvented year after year.

I don’t like McDaniels coming in, picking his own GM and being the defacto head of the organization. He doesn’t have…[Read more]

Wait, they have Belicheck. Maybe he’s decided Brady is past his prime and he’ll trade him for Vinny Testaverde.

Yep, that’s how Tom Brady wants to end his career. Getting beaten up behind no offensive line in Cleveland.

He already hired Mike Nolan as his DC. That’s a damn good tandem.

So much for my guy: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28433429/source-cowboys-hire-mike-mccarthy-new-coach

Garrett should for sure get an interview, but he’s proven to be a mediocre coach. Never does well in clutch late season games or in the playoffs.

I’m basically all in on McCarthy. I’d be fine with Roman as well, but I like the idea of a proven winner coming in and at the very least getting our team running like an actual NFL franchise.

Depodesta has one of the best hiring pitches in the world: “We’ll give you a four year contract, and you’ll only have to work for two years.”. Who wouldn’t take that?

Fuck it, sign Lawson, he and Garrett can call themselves”The Bash Brothers” and do a Canseco/McGuire pose with their helmets

I like this idea, but then I looked at our roster. Literally no veterans who come from winning. Which is kinda crazy, and explains a lot about how this team fell apart late in games.

Greg Roman was also quietly interviewed yesterday.

Eric Bieniemeny today.

Brian Daboll and Robert Saleh this weekend or Monday, depending if their teams win or lose.

Josh McDaniels next Friday.

If we really like McCarthy or Roman, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hire them Monday or Tuesday. I doubt you take the risk of their getting hired…[Read more]

Also notable from Haslam’s presser is that Elliot Wolf will not be considered for GM and it will be someone from outside the organization. Which both undercuts “letting the coach pick the GM” and throws out any sense of continuity, all in one sentence.

Thank God I’ll have my Sundays freed back up next fall.

Supposed to be happening during a break in his interview.

I doubt he’s hired today; would not we at least need to satisfy the “Rooney Rule” first?

Also, I’m sure McCarthy would want to talk with the Giants and Panthers before agreeing here.

McCarthy/Wolf is probably the one combination I’d feel good about heading into next season. At least there would be some hope for continuity.

Yeah, of all the reasons the Cleveland media has come up with to justify this, Kitchens is the only one that even makes a little sense (and the Haslams have failed on picking what, 5 coaches themselves?)

Maybe they just wanted Dorsey in New England, so they let McDaniels call Haslam and scare him into firing John.
