Would live Crennel as DC but hes an awful HC

by crazy_dave23 Mon 31 Dec 2012, 4:42 pm

Black Monday is in full swing then... I'd best get over to NFL.com!

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 4:59 pm

Mike munchak remains in Tennessee

by Bull Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:05 pm

Bears looking at Mike Mccoy asked permission to interview him thoughts?

by Colan (niner) Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:08 pm

I'd like a rule that applies to both college/nfl where you can't interview until bowl games/playoffs are completely done

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:13 pm

I believe you can't interview an assistant whose team is still playing, though Broncos on a bye so its permitted.

McCoy likely to take his time anyway I think. A guy who can gameplan Tebow and Peyton into the playoffs is going to have offers.

Eagles pretty obviously want Chip Kelly, Jay gruden a backup plan poss.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:15 pm

I'm pretty sure the Eagles want a younger up and coming guy, likely offensive minded. Finding the right DC important too.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:24 pm

In shocking news, the Jets fire OC Tony Sparano. Good OL coach but his offensive system outdated.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:25 pm

Looking like Reid is going to be a package deal, coming with Heckert, Castillo and Vick at a guess.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:26 pm

@BradBiggs: Emotional Devin Hester says he is considering retiring from NFL.

Not entirely sure if thats a joke lol

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:28 pm

The 2000 Eagles coaching staff

OC: Brad Childress (most importantly the OC was really Andy Reid)
RB: Ted Williams (who is still here and should remain here)
WR: David Culley (see Williams)
TE/OQC: Pat Shurmur
OL: Juan Castillo
OA/OQC: Tom Melvin (current TEs coach - not bad)

DC: Jim Johnson
DL: Tommy Brasher
LB: Ron Rivera
DB: Leslie Frazier
DA/DQC: Steve Spagnuolo

ST: John Harbaugh

6 went on to have HC jobs

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:47 pm

Throwing it out there. Andy Reid to Chicago?

by Bull Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:53 pm

please no!

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:55 pm

Dirk Koetter to interview with Eagles, Chiefs and Browns this week.

Don't see why you'd be opposed to Reid personally. His time was up as Eagles coach yes, but hes a very good HC

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 5:58 pm

Wouldnt be opposed to Koetter, has HC experience. Also would look at Zimmer

by Bull Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:01 pm

would prefer Mccoy

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:03 pm

Do you know anything about McCoy other than he works for Denver?

Whis and the Cards GM still meeting the Owner. That its taken this long suggests he keeps his job and deciding which staff keep theirs

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:03 pm

Bills have completely gutted the coaching staff

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:05 pm

Its finally happened, Aj Smith and Norv Turner fired in SD

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:06 pm

Obvious in hindsight, but those 2 really should've been canned last year.

by Bull Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:08 pm

OC coach?

used to play qb and was coach for the panthers right?

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:09 pm

Rod Graves fired as Cardinals GM

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:11 pm

At least 4 of the fired HCs, and another 4 GMs can point at bad QB play as a reason they were fired.

#passingleague

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:15 pm

No sooner are fired HCs out the door, than a copy of Jon Grudens CV is arriving at the owners desk

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:16 pm

Ken Whisenhunt has also been fired as Cards HC

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:18 pm

Big changes inbound in Arizona. Though Horton has a shot at the HC gig

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:43 pm

Eagles Insider ‏@EaglesInsider
JL: The most important thing is to find the right leader ... I'm not one to buy schemes .. Find someone who is strategic, strong leader.

This reassures me more than anything.

by Colan (niner) Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:48 pm

I don't know if any niner coaches will be sought after. There were rumours about Greg Roman earlier in the season. If that were the case, I'd take Norv Turner as OC in a heartbeat. Bad HC but very good assistant

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:48 pm

Roman and Fangio both have buzz. Nothing solid yet.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:53 pm

Rex Ryan to be fired and Josh McDaniels to go to New York to team up with Tebow Wink

by Colan (niner) Mon 31 Dec 2012, 6:59 pm

So does Seeley apparently. The Jags and Jets also want to interview our player personnel guy for their GM position. I suppose the downfall of success is that people take note. That being said, Tomsula has been linked with some jobs before and he's the guy I most want to keep

Just like Wade Phillips!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:32 pm

Raiders fire Knapp as OC much to the delight of the Oakland fans on the forum!!

by Guest Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:35 pm

Greg knapp is gone. I am getting soooooooo drunk tonight

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:48 pm

Falcons ST coordinator Keith Armstrong will interview with Chiefs and Bears.

Imagine Tice will be fired in Chicago, Jeremy Bates I'd imagine would replace him.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:49 pm

Jets and Jags want to speak to 49ers director of player personnel, Tom Gamble. Pretty much the hot GM candidate atm.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:51 pm

The brief for the Cardinals GM and HC positions probably reads find a QB.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 7:55 pm

Pretty much every coach involved on the offensive side in Arizona fired, every coach in Buffalo purged. Sad day.

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 8:05 pm

Mike McCoy will interview with Arizona and Chicago this weekend.

Worth noting if Denver makes the SB he can only interview with teams hes interviewed with this week, in the week prior to the SB

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 8:11 pm

No idea why Pioli still has a job. Has been an awful GM for the Chiefs. 0/2 on HCs and 0/1 on QBs

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 8:15 pm

I like how Lurie threw Banner under the bus by comparing his and Rosemans opinions on draft prospects

#enjoyherrbannercleveland

by GSC Mon 31 Dec 2012, 8:22 pm

Not that anybody cares but Brandon Jacobs is getting released

by GSC Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:18 pm

Happy 2013!

Fortunately the NFL madhouse keeps rolling.

Eagles will interview all 3 Falcons assistants on Friday (Dirk Koetter, Mike Nolan and Keith Armstrong

Cardinals will interview Mike McCoy, Ray Horton and Andy Reid

Cleveland and Buffalo will interview Syracuse coach Doug Marrone

4 teams requested interviews with Lovie Smith

Bears will interview Bucs OC Mike Sullivan

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:22 pm

Gonna be some major coaching changes in the league!

Wonder if Chan Gailey (spelling) will get any interviews anywhere.

by GSC Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:24 pm

Def not as a HC but will prob get an OC gig somewhere once the dust settles

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:28 pm

See the rumor about Dallas wanting to bring in an OC to help Garrett?

Don't see the point of that because Garrett would just be the HC then and he isn't a leader

by GSC Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:30 pm

I think Garrett was def overstretched this year, if you can bring back Norv and just have Garrett overviewing the whole thing, I think thats a stronger position for Dallas

by GSC Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:31 pm

I mean the OC would have to mirror Garretts offensive philosophy *cough*Norv*cough*

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:43 pm

Well Garrett's playcalling was pretty shoite in that game against Washington. So obvious that Washington were blitzing every 3rd down but he just couldn't find the answer to it (can't remember a single screen pass all game for Dallas)

by GSC Tue 01 Jan 2013, 1:46 pm

Sometimes it just happens that way and you don't really have an answer. Credit to the Redskins DC
