[2023-24] NFL Thread - Offseason. Chicago Bears are on the clock.

[TD]

Carroll feels like...

A pretty big surprise if so?

Carroll feels like...

Wasn't expected, that's for sure.

But not surprising. His teams constantly underwhelm. He's respected by his team though. Just not by anyone else.

[Jon]

See? I'm not lying!

 

[TD]

There's gonna be some good coach candidates available.

Can't wait to see how the Raiders fuck this one up.

Can't wait to see how the Raiders fuck this one up.

They're going to bring Chip Kelly back to the NFL.

 

[Jon]

Maybe Lane Kiffin.

Urban Meyer

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Supposedly he's going to be the VP and advisor.

Love the new logo though!

Moving on up.

Be the bank?

This COO salary let me buy the bank.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Wonder if they want Vrabel.

He'd be a great fit there. Pete is older than BB, they must want to get younger - he wanted to keep coaching and has done a pretty good job with what he has.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Belichick is the betting favorite to be the new Falcons coach.

Saints expected to give Dennis Allen one more season.

 

[TD]

Wonder if they want Vrabel.

I'd be very happy with Vrabel.

...as a Raiders fan.

 

[Jon]

Belichick is the betting favorite to be the new Falcons coach.

As someone who can keep Bijan in my league of record... I wouldn't hate that.

 

[TD]

Yeah because if there's one thing Belichick does is stick with a single running back.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

28-3 was a long con by Blank to entice Belichick to come.

 

[A PineSol Scent]

Yeah because if there's one thing Belichick does is stick with a single running back.

Just tell him it's Corey Dillon and it'll be fine.

 

[Jon]

Because Arthur Smith did?

Belichick runs the ball a lot and favors pass catching backs.

Yeah so he'll probably sign James White and that'll be that.

 

[VashTheStampede]

My first thought was "Belichick didn't coach the Bengals"

 

[A PineSol Scent]

My first thought was "Belichick didn't coach the Bengals"

he coached some of them.


Also the Browns.

 

[TD]

So Tom Brady literally owns part of the Raiders.

If Belichick somehow ends up on the Raiders - Brady could definitively say he owns Belichick.

 

[Fire Queen]

Belichick is the betting favorite to be the new Falcons coach.

Saints expected to give Dennis Allen one more season.

[VashTheStampede]

PETE CARROLL IS 72?!

 

[A PineSol Scent]

PETE CARROLL IS 72?!

Yeah. He looks younger. Dude has always been in great shape.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

In consecutive days, Pete Carroll fired, Nick Saban retires, Bill Belichick fired.

Crazzzzy

 

[Jon]

Yup, just like his team on the field this year, Belichick is unsure if he wants to quit or be fired.

Personally, I think he needs to go, as I've said, so news this morning that he's leaving is a good thing to me.

 

[A PineSol Scent]

I've seen quite a few people on facebook be so very upset about Bill.

I mean...why? Have they not paid attention recently? There are also two very good candidates we could go with that are the top two options at this point (Vrabel and Mayo).

It's been an entire generation of just one coach. It's a good time to move on.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'm almost ready to go bet on DraftKings that it will be Vrabel with Mayo as defensive coordinator/assistant coach.

The way Vrabel gushes over his career here, that he actually came to get inducted into the Patriots HOF during a bye week WHILE COACHING ANOTHER TEAM, and that he is essentially being paid by Tennessee so the Krafts don't need to pay him.

He is a player's coach and would instantly get respect from the room, which like I've said is one of the major things for a HC.

I’m only surprised he was fired instead of a deal for him to resign for optics

Vrabel and Mayo on the staff together would be one hell of a good way to get the fans moving on pretty quick.

 

[Jon]

The way Vrabel gushes over his career here

That's because Bill gave him a career. Pittsburgh wrote him off. Bill had a knack for putting players in positions to succeed. Always did. Vrabel owes that to Bill.

That said, I want Mayo to stay, but I would still much rather go find someone outside this organization and an offensive minded coach. I still lean to my personal favorite option being Eric Bienemy.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'd rather Bienemy be the OC. I don't want a coach with no HC experience yet. It's a tough situation and the shoes to fill might be too much for a first time HC. Vrabel-Bienemy-Mayo would be my preference. Let Bienemy own the offense, Mayo own the defense and Vrabel be a true HC.

 

[Jon]

I hear you. I just don't want another defensive coach. Hell, Ben Johnson would probably be the best option...

 

[A PineSol Scent]

Yeah I'd be down for this.

 

[Spiner202]

I understand why they let Bill go, but IMO, you let the guy who brought you 6 Super Bowl titles stay as long as he wants. Tons of teams don't even win a championship in 20 years, let alone 6. He deserves as long as he wants.

 

[TD]

Oh wow - he's actually gone.

Not a Pats fan but it's kinda crazy to picture the Pats without him.

...watch them hire McDaniels.

 

[Jon]

...watch them hire McDaniels.

I don't think Kraft is dumb enough to do this after watching him destroy both Denver and Vegas.

 

[TD]

I don't think Kraft is dumb enough to do this after watching him destroy both Denver and Vegas.

I can dream.

The Patriots made him seem competent enough that the Raiders hired him.

 

[A PineSol Scent]

...watch them hire McDaniels.

...as offensive coordinator.

 

[TD]

...as offensive coordinator.

No no, head coach.

What could go wrong?

 

[A PineSol Scent]

No no, head coach.

What could go wrong?

At this point it seems like it's either Vrabel or Mayo as HC.

Sadly, for the rest of the NFL, I don't believe we'll be making the mistake of hiring McDaniels with any more power than OC. He's at least qualified for that position.

I'd be a bit surprised if he even latched on as OC if I'm honest but we'll see.

Also gotta wonder how attractive NE will be to available coaches compared to other teams.

#3 overall draft pick and a lot of cap space. The Defense is in acceptable shape.

Those first two are pretty big ones though. Can come in and try to make a splash right away.

Why not; everyone else rode the Panthers to victory this past year.
