Official thread for coaching fires/hires

[spurraider21]

- the first coach to get the axe this year was Dennis Allen after week 4. Sparano is not going to be keeping the job... remains to be seen if he'll even be back as an assistant

- we all know Niners announced the Harbs is gone (most reports have him going to Michigan)

- Chris Mortensen reported that the Jets are going to fire both GM Idzik AND Rex Ryan on monday

- Dolphins are keeping Philbin, Skins are keeping Jay Gruden, MNF is keeping Jon Gruden

- Potential candidates to get canned... Mike Smith, Gus Bradley (too soon?), Lovie Smith.

- Darkhorse fire candidates... Ken Whisenhunt, Mike McCoy

[Jeff Van Gundy]

Tom coughlin should be in the hot seat, but after seeing what odell can offer, he might be back for one more year

[spurraider21]

If Cruz comes back healthy, they have a damn good receiving trio. They need O-Line help though

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Rooting for Mark Tressmam and Mel Tucker to keep their jobs.

[benefactor]

Read yesterday evening that the Titans are keeping Whiz.:lol

[Mal]

Ryan officially fired. Why people keep saying that he`s a good coach, but unlucky etc.

[resistanze]

Mike Smith, Trestman gone

[Avante]

I'm broken hearted over letting Harbaugh go. There is nobody out there who can take his place.

[Trill Clinton]

Yeah, get used to those 7-9 seasons at best again. That organization is looking for a "good soldier" with little backbone.

the front office did little to help the offense, i don't think you can place all the blame on Ryan.

[Kyle Orton]

skins need to fire haslett and morris (DC and secondary coach), promote bruce allen from GM to President and hire someone else from a succesful organization to be GM. We have AJ smith in the organization now and he can draft but he also fucked San Diego. He is better than the current garbage in the FO right now though. We cant draft for shit.

Keep RG3 this year for the 3 million we owe him in his final year and see how he plays in year 2 of the offense with hopefully a revamped line. Go into this draft and trade down the number 5 pick to get a few more picks. Target primarily O Line and Safety, maybe a LB and make the switch back to the 4-3 where we do currently have the pieces for that.

RG3 doesnt live up to the expectations then you draft a QB in 2016 when his deal expires. We cant afford to draft a qb high again with so many other holes on the team, every fucking qb on our roster this year was taking hits after 2 seconds because of a terrible fucking line. Finally, dont fucking rush this. We are 2-4 years away from contending for the playoffs so patience is needed. And fuck Snyder

[spurraider21]

Tony Sparano said he "very, very badly" wants to remain the Raiders' head coach.

Sparano guided the Raiders to a 3-9 record as the interim head coach following Dennis Allen's firing. During that time, he won over the players, with many of them coming to his side and making a case for Sparano after the Week 17 finale. If anything, Sparano has the "swag" and attitude as a no-nonsense-style coach -- yet his players would do anything for him -- to win over the Black Hole. It wouldn't be such a bad idea for the Raiders to keep Sparano and have some continuity in their lives, especially if GM Reggie McKenzie gets to keep his job.

:lmao yes, retain the interim coach because of his "swag." fuck coaching ability, decision making, game managing ability. SWAG! thats the answer

[Holden_Caulfield]

raiders eyeing jack del rio, would be a good hire tbh

[spurraider21]

I'd endorse del rio. My top choice would be Rex, after that I like Bowles and Del Rio

[Malik Hairston]

Rex Ryan is a solid coach IMO..he benefited from the New York hype, but then got torn down because of it, too, which is what always happens:lol..

His players like him, and he went to 2 AFC title games with one of the worst starting QBs in the history of the NFL..he'll definitely get a job as a DC, but he would also be an upgrade over many of the current HCs, including Denver's..

Apparently he's made it known he won't be coordinating. Will either get a head coaching gig he desires or will go into broadcasting until he gets a job he wants

[Malik Hairston]

Ya, it would be pretty stupid to take a DC job when there are so many shitty Head Coaches around the league..

I'm kind of surprised the Saints and Payton didn't agree to split, tbh..

[HI-FI]

I wouldn't mind Rex Ryan on the Niners, he'd probably like the alternative lifestyle aspect of the city. He is a good guy and killer defensive coach, just never had much of a Qb like Harlem said.

But Niners most likely going for offensive type, hopefully not McDaniels unless there is something there I'm not seeing. I wouldn't mind if they promote from within.

[spurraider21]

Del Rio as a head coach with Trestman as offensive coordinator is a scenario I'd be cool with

[Holden_Caulfield]

damn i wish the jags fired everyone, makes the offseason more exciting. tbh i dont expect more than 6 wins next season with the same coaching staff

[Avante]

I'd love to have Rex Ryan.

[spurraider21]

i dont get why the Jets are interviewing Quinn :lol

there's no sense in firing Rex Ryan, arguably the best defensive minded head coach... and then hiring a defensive minded head coach. if they were so hell bent on going in a different direction from Rex, they might as well hire an offensive-minded guy

[Mal]

Still this Ryan best defensive coach, that I dont get it. Jets defense wasnt even that good. I dont buy into lack of talent arguments

[spurraider21]

they lost to your pats by a combined 3 points this season. Ryan knows what he's doing.

defenses will always struggle if the offense is anemic. this is why cardinals defense was at its best in the games palmer was playing. the jets also had no secondary at all tbh, having lost revis and cromartie the past 2 seasons. they had a good front 7 and it reflected in their rushing defense and sack totals

[Holden_Caulfield]

Del Rio as a head coach with Trestman as offensive coordinator is a scenario I'd be cool with
you guys are interviewing mangini :lmao

[spurraider21]

i seriously wish he was black just so this would be a rooney rule interview

[Clipper Nation]

[Holden_Caulfield]

the jags fired their OC :lobt2:

[spurraider21]

:lol raiders are supposedly lining up interviews for Shurmur and Mangini
:lol all that talk about mark davis wanting to hire a "rock star" coach

[spurraider21]

raiders now requested to talk to Pep Hamilton... with the Gruden/Harbaugh rumors during the season, and with them having seeked permission to interview Mangini, Shurmur, and Hamilton, it seems like they're dead set on hiring an offensive guy.

i can understand the appeal of an offensive oriented coach though... the fear is with a Defensive Head coach, the O-coordinator will run the whole show, Carr learns his system, and if that guy ever gets promoted to head coach elsewhere, it would be an entirely new system with another coordinator. by having the HC run the offense, it would provide more stability in that regard

Didn't work so well for Garrett tbh. HC needs to be supervising the whole team not just the offense.

:lmao Doug Marrone opts out of his contract with the Buffalo Bills. The clown brings in his own retard QB from whom he coached at college then, walks out on the team cold turkey.

No coach, no QB, and no 2015 first round draft pick. I swear, this franchise is a joke. Welcome to mediocrity!

Oh, and they're paying Doug 4M not to coach. :lmao

[Chris]

lmao Bills

[spurraider21]

:lol and they have no first rounder

Wtf are you talking about? Marrone never coached Manuel at college.

[Hoops Czar]

Wtf are you talking about? Marrone never coached Manuel at college.

Yeah, for some reason, I thought he QB'ed at Syracuse, not FSU. Who cares. He's a terrible quarterback and it was only compounded by trading away a 1st rounder to move up in the draft last year. Watkins is a good receiver but, what good is having a five star receiver if your QB can't make a pass to save his life.

[Blizzardwizard]

Looks like Frank Reich is in line for the Bills job, or if not, the Jets.

Take Johnny P with you!

[HI-FI]

I wouldn't hate having Shanahan. I won't be as psyched as I was when they got Harbaugh, but Shanahan is a big part of the Walsh tree. Shit, he made Jake Plummer look decent at times against Belichick of all people. Obviously Shanahan comes with a lot of baggage but I'd prefer him over McDaniels.

i just hope they keep Fangio and Tomasula.

I'd be 100% fine with promoting Fangio to HC tbh, or keeping him as DC while bringing on Rex to coach. The Niners desperately need an OC that can competently run an offense while either salvaging Kraep or jettisoning him altogether for a stopgap QB. They have the talent on defense and enough weapons on offense to win without even an above-average QB doing things.

Yeah pretty much. I'm also not ready to give up on Kap just yet. Sounds like that new contract is more disposable than I realized, which is great if things don't work out.

id be okay with Shanahan if he just focuses on the offense and quits trying to be a control freak. Gase from Denver might work out, Manning holds him in high regard, but Rex would be cool though I'm not sure how him and Fangio will mesh defensively.

I know people are shitting on Jed, but least he's given a pulse back to the team. The Dr. York era of the 00s was terrible for me, just lifeless.

[Blizzardwizard]

You're getting Marrone and you're going to like it.

Doug Marrone ain't going to be Chargers OC. I ain't no Jets fan :lol

[Avante]

I don't want Shanahan, he's a lot like Singletary, that old....die for football...which doesn't work with these young guys today. No way he'd get along with Kaepernick, two totally different personalties there.

Rex Ryan a perfect fit.

[Kyle Orton]

We are looking at wade Philips today. Huge upgrade from haslet. Pretty much the norv turner of DC's. Great coordinator but a shit head coach

[spurraider21]

Philips would be a great hire. Still remember what he did to houston

[spurraider21]

The Raiders have been in contact with former 49ers and Seahawks personnel director Scott Mcloughan for a front office role, and current "GM" reggie McKenzie was not present for Jack Del Rio's head coaching interview.

This could be big

Wade Phillips set to interview for Redskins defensive coordinator position tomorrow. Is the frontrunner for the job right now.

[spurraider21]

goddamit... McLoughan is the best candidate out there to be a GM imo, and McKenzie's home run draft last year is going to save his job even though he's been garbage in free agency and the two prior drafts

[Avante]

Mike Shanahan who comes from that old school.....run into a brickwall over football...with Kaepernick????? That won't work.

Look at Belichick/Brady....perfect marriage. Shanahan/Kaepernick a wreck waiting to happen.

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, Shanahan would be a terrible hc for SF...not the most creative offensive mind for a run-first QB...

[spurraider21]

Skins hired McLoughan as GM... great hire tbh. can't believe the raiders asked him to work under mckenzie :lol

I'm shocked that Snyder gave him complete control of player personnel, and Bruce Allen said fuck it you can my position and I will go back to kissing babies, and making numbers work with contracts which is he is good at. I'm excited about this move hopefully we will be good in two years at least. A lot of mess to clean up.

[Spur-Addict]

I think our DC Dan Quinn is outta here...

After losing Gus, I'm not too concerned about this. I think we'll either promote within, or find someone who'll slide right in. We pretty much run the same scheme all the time anyways so losing a DC is something I don't worry about.

[Kyle Orton]

Give our new GM 3 years and see where the team is at. I'm fucking excited, finally a real personnel guy for the first time in snyders shitty reign and he is regarded as arguably the best talent/personnel in the league. Bruce finally elevated to team president so he can manage all the other bullshit that scot didn't want to deal with in SF

going thru those SF and Seattle drafts, they're impressive as hell. Some misses yes but a ton of pro bowl talent. This combined with losing hasshit and possibly getting Phillips is a great start to the rebuild we desperately need.

Lana Del wasn't absolutely terrible with Jax IIRC. Couple nice years in there

[spurraider21]

Lana Del wasn't absolutely terrible with Jax IIRC. Couple nice years in there
he wasn't. they just did a horrible job of replacing players on the roster on both sides... they never got a competent receiver after Jimmy Smith (:lol matt jones experiment) and they weren't able to replace Stroud and Henderson on the D-Line. when rashean mathis started having injury issues, they never really added another good corner.

he oversaw an offense that was run by david garrard too :lol... plus he's done a great job "rehabbing" his image by turning Denver's D from good to elite since he took over.

i mostly like him because he has a lot of ties with varying teams throughout the league, and probably can pull strings to get the coordinators he wants. had he been available/signed a week earlier, he probably would have been able to recruit Koetter. its also possible he brings mike smith with him as a d-coordinator

[spurraider21]

woulda been a great spot for Rex Ryan... :lol buffalo

[Spur-Addict]

John Fox fired

Fox is garbage.

And while Rex would've had extra time as Peyton is likely gone in 2 years maybe three, he would have another 2-3 year leash post Peyton if they managed to win a SB. But I don't think with Rex the Donks would've won the S.B with Peyton, maybe I'm crazy but I just don't see it. I think everyone is a little overrated in this scenario. Peyton is beat, just had more tools, and better health on his team than Brady last year. It was sad watching the partially armed Pats last year. ATL probably would've been the best fit with a young QB, as he has to roll the dice to land a QB in Buff. But I would rather have a young team on the rise with a few missing parts, than an old squad shooting for the moon.

[spurraider21]

Hopefully Denver hires Sparano tbh :lol

[HI-FI]

Harlem should be happy about Fox being fired. He seems like a good guy but nothing special as a HC. In fact he wasted some talented rosters imo. Sounds like the Niners are interested in Gase.

i don't know how I feel about that, probably not as excited as spurraider feels about Del Rio. I'll wait to see how everything shakes out.

[spurraider21]

Jim Schwartz is suddenly a hot DC candidate... he's out of Buffalo. his schemes dont work with Ryan's philosophy

[Silver&Black]

Rod Marinelli on his way to Tampa? Or staying in Dallas?

[spurraider21]

If the raiders proceed with the JDR hire, he'll probably bring some players from Denver with him... Terrance Knighton, Brandon Marshall, Nate Irving are all possibilities, and the Raiders could use all of them

From what I read he already traveled to Oakland tonight, will interview tomorrow. Once the Harbaugh/Gruden pipe dreams didn't happen, the top 3 coaches I wanted were Rex Ryan, Todd Bowles, and Del Rio. hopefully they dont fuck it up. Mike Smith as his defensive coordinator has been thrown around quite a bit. the main concern would be the offensive coordinator, i'm holding out hope for Trestman

del rio and mike smith was a hell of a combo for us, after mike smith left our defense declined a bit. tbh i would want that combo back in a heartbeat. Knighton and B Marshall will definitely follow through, they were in jacksonville with him. imagine Knighton Leonard williams and Mack :wow

I wonder what Trestman is contemplating. He has been rumored to be highly favored by many seeking a OC. Perhaps he's waiting to see what shakes up in ATL. Oakland is very comparable as they have a nice young QB as well, who is ascending. Perhaps he may think he has a shot at a HC spot somewhere. Probably not but who knows.

Doubt he'll get a head coaching gig. But he's been on the Raiders staff before (was offensive coordinator when we made the Superbowl), and since JDR is a defensive guy he'd basically have full autonomy on the offense

[Spur-Addict]

I have no idea. I'm inclined to think a position coach would elevate, but who knows. But no matter what, we don't deviate for the most part from the scheme that has been in place for years, so I doubt we'd take anyone out of the wheelhouse that Pete has been in over the duration of his coaching years.

Aside from Trestman, who do you perceive as being in the upper tier as far as potential OCs are concerned? Upper tier relative to what's available. Or just flat our preferences based on roster.

Thankfully our current coordinator Olsen is likely gone. He's interviewing with the jags today :lol


Koetter was one of the big names and Tampa landed him. Kyle Shanahan is another name being flung around but I really don't get why.

I also like Musgrave (currently Eagles QB coach).

Like a Norton or Seto...I can definitely see that. Bradley left and the engine got stronger and Quinn will inevitably leave and we will continue to follow Pete's vision. In Petey we trust!

Former NFL defensive end Hugh Douglas did not hold back when criticizing Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio for his handling of the team's quarterback situation and alleged lack of trustworthiness. "If there was ever a head coach that needs to be punched in the face for not being truthful to his players, it has to be Jack Del Rio," Douglas said (WEEI).

:lol Raiders

[spurraider21]

eh, the raiders could have hired anybody and you'd say ":lol raiders"

let it all out

[Holden_Caulfield]

i still remember when del rio shocked the world by saying leftwich is the starting qb then he got outplayed in preseason and got outright cut :lol

those were the good old days :cry

The Raiders and Chargers squabble is hilarious.

[Holden_Caulfield]

Like a Norton or Seto...I can definitely see that. Bradley left and the engine got stronger and Quinn will inevitably leave and we will continue to follow Pete's vision. In Petey we trust!
you guys can have bradley back lol

Sure. Send us Sen'Derrick too while you're at it...

Raiders should of went all in for Quinn, Shanahan, even go across the bay and interview Fangio. I don't think De Rio is a good coach at all.

Well Pelicans78 makes me feel better about Allen. He might be fine as a D-coordinator. It's hard to assess Raiders coaches when Cryptkeeper was pulling the strings.

Allen and Tarver both got to Oakland after Al kicked the bucket.

i actually think Tarver is a better choice, he's way more aggressive with his schemes. does well with linebackers. but i also assume Tomsula wants a former HC around to help

[hehateme]

Don't like the Tomsula over Fangio route as at least Fangio held the D up when the offense blew dick. Here's to mediocrity for the next few years if Fangio leaves along with some of the other better coaches.

[Infinite_limit]

Haters. Tomsula and Kaepernick will bring us a Title!

On a serious note, it's already been announced everyone is gone but Rathman. Funniest part is *shock* the front office will "help in hiring" the new staff.

I had our playoff chances after canning Harbaugh and retaining Kaepernick @ 35%. This current move will have long term ramifications.

Dennis Allen's secondary made Gregg Williams a much better defensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010. The Saints had a great secondary when healthy during those two seasons. I remember a Sunday night game against Pittsburgh in 2010 when both Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter were out so the Saints went to 5 safeties against Big Ben and the defense did well enough to allow Brees win that game.

Redskins doing work!

Redskins hired ex-Cowboys OC Bill Callahan as offensive line coach.

The Redskins' offseason of upgrading continues. Per ESPN's Ed Werder, Callahan's three-year deal is "very lucrative." Callahan was humiliatingly stripped of play-calling duties in Dallas last season, but retained his "offensive coordinator" title even though he was limited to offensive line duties. Either way, he's one of the league's very best at coaching up linemen. He's an excellent addition to coach Jay Gruden's staff.

Well it looks like the Skins are getting rid of three worst coaches on the team Haslett, Morris and Foerster for Fangio, Callahan and possibly Ed Donatell. Of course getting McCloughan was already pretty amazing knowing that Allen was finally going to hire a football mind to take over the general manager position.

It also sounds like all the negative reaction from Skins fans on social media about Joe Barry getting hired as the defensive coordinator, caused the Skins to not offer him the job just like when Jim Fassel was supposed to be our next head coach in 2004 and 2008 :lmao

Hopefully they get a deal done with Fangio over the weekend, and it would be nice to get a quarterback coach next.

[Robz4000]

Redskins will be a force next year, especially if Colt McChrist is QB. Meanwhile, the Niners organization continues to consume itself from the inside out...

I don't care who our quarterback is as long as we win some damn games :lol

Can't believe the niners hired Tomsula over a great defensive mind like Fangio.

Looks like the Skins will take the route the niners should of done, and that's if Gruden doesn't lead us to at least a mediocre record I think he will be fired at the end of next season. Fangio would be smart to go to Washington to get promoted to HC, and he could promote Donatell to be his DC.

[Spur-Addict]

John Fox to be hired as the Bears Head Coach

[HI-FI]

Props to the Skins if they get Fangio. All I hoped for with this new HC search is we'd retain Fangio and we blew that. I like Tomasula but seems like Jed is hiring people he can get along with and won't bristle at his suggestions.

[spurraider21]

Fox to Bears a done deal. pretty meh. he's not a bad coach at all, but the bears as a whole are a sinking ship

I like what the Raiders are putting together as a staff. If they get trestman it would be the cherry on top. Carr looks legit:tu

The thing i like about del rio is that he has an ability to stop the run and run the ball. Thats a winning formula that works with a decent QB. Carr may be the franchise QB he never had in Jville.

i told my brother, a diehard cowboy fan, that's what it reminds me of. Tbf, Harbaugh is notoriously hard to get along with. Reports are he would've been let go even if they won this year. The older Harbaugh is much better dealing with pros or bosses. But this has been a train wreck.

Rams have been looking for a legit OC since 2000fucking6.
They're looking at Chudzinski, K.Shanahan, or an internal hire, Rob Boras.
Defense and special teams are solid, have talent on offense, need a QB and an OC with some balls to complete this thing.

Hey dog I came here specifically to ask you about Olsen. He's the new QB coach. Any worth there? Jags are still reportedly wating on Gase to make a decision on the OC spot. That would revamp the Jags offensive staff considerably. Going from a gimmick OC in Fisch and an oline assistant acting as the oline coach and the real oline coach (Yarno) out fighting cancer. This team is going to make a leap on that side of the ball.
