2024 NFL Head Coaching Carousel

McCarthy has a better playoff record than Tomlin.
Q, this is for you. Our fair city's most popular and horrible (could be repetitive there) talk show duo, Felger and Mazz, are actively pumping the idea the Pats should trade for Fields as their first move of their rebuild. I am not as down on Fields as you, but I do know that's nutsw.
 
Why would they want to pick up the fifth-year option of an average quarterback as part of a rebuild? That is a terrible idea.

It would benefit Fields if he went to a team like the Falcons that had some weapons in place. I honestly can't think of a worse place for Fields than the Patriots.

The Bears?
 
Bill Belichick will be 73 at the start of the 2025 NFL season. Gentle reminder that the only coach that old to ever coach an NFL game was Romeo Crennel.

I wonder if Belichick was unwilling to just coach and wanted to still have a heavy say in personnel matters, because he was total ship at the latter in his final New England years.
I think Charles McDonald said wanted to just coach but that no one in the Atlanta front office believed that for a second. Everyone from McKay on down felt their roles would be marginalized at best. Oddly enough, McKay is now out of football ops anyway.

And people wonder why their local football team keeps hiring crappy ash Bright Young Offensive Minds who crash out in three years.....
"...well we hired Brandon Staley/Canales/MacDonald/O'Connell because well sir, Mr. Vrabel frightened us and we thought he'd bully us like at the school yard, we wanted to be more collaborative....I know our coach has gone 4-12 but there's hope..."

Well I don't mean to rip on O'Connell because I think he's a good coach (watch Quarterback on Netflix) and Shanahan's not scaring anyone and he's tremendous (win or no win Sunday).

This is sort of a dumb thesis from the writer. If anything, Belichick NOT getting a job is a sign of progress amongst NFL owners. I'm pleasantly surprised someone didn't fall for the fraudulent resume and either hand him the keys to the kingdom or believe his bullship that he was happy just to come in & coach, which would have lasted until the end of the press conference, tops.

The Vrabel not getting a job thing b/c he's a hulking doofus is dumb, but only if true. No NFL insiders are worth trusting and Russini might just be carrying water for the Vrabel camp. And even if she's not, teams run by generally stupid and insecure men are are always going to make decisions for stupid and insecure reasons. That was the case in 1994 and it'll be the case if we're all still here in 2054.
 
It's the same league that cited Charlie Weis, the offensive clone of Rex Ryan, being fat as the reason he wasn't hired as a head coach.

I guess him being a raging ashhole had nothing to do with it.
 
I keep forgetting McCarthy had a successful run before the Cowboys.

He is, at the moment, one of two Super Bowl-winning coach with any sort of chance to win again with a new team. Which is sorta terrifying, but also comforting, b/c between he and Jerrah, they'll fork ship up six ways to Sunday again next year and however long they work together.

hell, he's only one of what, five current head coaches that have won a title at all?
