2014-15 NFL Coaching Carousel Thread

Should not even be a question whether Marrone is safe. He's done a hell of a coaching job. Decision to sit Manuel and start Orton
was a gutsy one and saved the season.

 

Is Philbin still safe?

 

I very much suspect not. Dolphins have blown every opportunity they had this year to be better than mediocre, just as they did last year.

 

I know I read somewhere recently that he's out if they don't make the playoffs. Can't remember where I saw that, though.........

 

I saw the same thing somewhere, sometimes I think that shit is just people guessing.

 

Apparently the owner met with Marino and Mike Tannenbaum yesterday. Tannenbaum makes sense because he's a big-time coaching agent now. Why the fuck they would listen to Dan Marino about anything is a mystery, but they've done it before.

 

I remember the Dolphins hired Tannenbaum as a consultant before the season. It's interesting because Tannenbaum has clients from several different sports. I think the best-known football coach he has is Hue Jackson. Maybe that's changed recently. He's made more of a mark in the NBA than he has in the NFL.

 

It's being reported that Trestman is expected to be fired. I've also seen things that suggest Coughlin is safe.

So...

Definitely, or very, very likely...

49ers
Raiders
Jets
Bears
Dolphins
Redskins

Maybe
Falcons
Panthers

Probably not
Titans
Bucs
Jaguars


Am I forgetting anyone?

 

I don't think Gruden's being fired

 

That's probably going to be the most interesting one to watch, well, that and what the Niners try to do with Harbaugh (if anything).

I would think the 49ers and Bears would both be looking at Bevell and Hamilton to try to rescue their failing QBs.

 

I assume the Falcons job will be this year's equivalent of the Texans last year, as the best job out there. SF & Miami also look like pretty good jobs.

 

That's a tough call. I think people will think the 49ers is the best job, but I'm honestly not sure that's the case. It will depend how much that team is going to be blown up.

The Falcons need to retool the line and the defense. The Dolphins have been one of the worst franchises in the league for the last 10-15 years. I think Philbin is the seventh head coach since the beginning of the 2004 season. Even if you subtract the two interim coaches, that's freaking horrendous.

Jimmy Johnson was the last coach to last four full seasons.
