[Reerun_KC]

Sutton?

[Best22]

Fire Sutton hire Wilks

[threebag]

Trust the scheme

[displacedinMN]

Sutton?

Yeah, yeah--not yet OC

[Why Not?]

No way Garret gets fired this year.

[BigRedChief]

Who’s the head coach who was a DC that’s worked with Reid?

[displacedinMN]

No way Garret gets fired this year.

But always a fire under him.
When it all calms down, I can add "Saved by the grace of god"

[FloridaMan88]

Who’s the head coach who was a DC that’s worked with Reid?

Todd Bowles

[Deberg_1990]

Andy Reid on the hot seat if he loses on Sunday and slips to the 5th seed?

[Sassy Squatch]

But always a fire under him.
When it all calms down, I can add "Saved by the grace of god"
Jason Garrett is the opposite of "on the bubble." Fans might want him gone but Jerry Jones has a raging hard on for the guy.

[Reerun_KC]

Andy Reid on the hot seat if he loses on Sunday and slips to the 5th seed?

Would like it to be so. But average true fan thinks Far Andy is the bestestests Eva.

[jjchieffan]

I find it crazy that Bowles and Wilkes are likely to be fired. I mean, I thought that when you start a rookie quarterback that expectations are pretty low anyway. Seems like a coach should get a second season with that quarterback to see what he can do. Changing coaches usually means a change in system, so that rookie quarterback has to start over. That crap happened to Alex Smith over and over. It wasn't until he came to KC that he had consistency. And low and behold he had the best years of his career in KC. The best quarterbacks have had consistency in their coaches. But, whatever. I would take either one of them to replace Sutton if they're fired.

[jjchieffan]

Jason Garrett is the opposite of "on the bubble." Fans might want him gone but Jerry Jones has a raging hard on for the guy.

Yep. Jason Garrett and Marvin Lewis have both been very mediocre yet continue to keep their jobs. Although, I would say that Garrett has done better this year, so I'll say that he's probably earned another year this time. But he's had plenty of years that he should have been gone.

At least Garret has 1 playoff win. Can you imagine being the Bengals and going to the playoffs 6 out of 7 years and not winning a single playoff game. I mean the Chiefs have been pretty bad in the post season, but damn the Bengals are absolutely pathetic.

[Sassy Squatch]

There's a very real chance that Hue Jackson is the Bengals next coach. Mike Brown is a notoriously cheap POS. He can't die soon enough for Bengals fans.

[jjchieffan]

Doesn't sound like Lewis is on the hotseat at all. I just don't get it. Here's an article I found that says that the Bengals are going to let him stick around as long as he likes. 16 years, 7 playoff appearances, 0 wins, and a collapse this season filled with blowout losses. Coaches with much better records are fired every year.

The Cincinnati Bengals are giving Marvin Lewis the power to dictate the terms of his exit, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. As of now, the Bengals intend to let Lewis coach for as long as he wants.

Here’s what Schefter wrote about the situation:

If the Denver Broncos part ways with head coach Vance Joseph, he is expected to emerge as a candidate for the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive coordinator job and potentially even their head coaching job when Marvin Lewis decides he has had enough of coaching, a league source tells ESPN.

The fact that the Bengals are setting themselves up with a plan of succession indicates that they’re preparing for Lewis to potentially retire in the near future. On the other hand, Lewis could decide to coach for five more years. And for now, the Bengals will honor that.

Considering the Bengals’ collapse this season (and in seasons past), it’s bizarre to see Cincinnati be so accommodating to a head coach who has zero postseason wins in seven appearances over 16 seasons. It would stand to reason Lewis would be on the hot seat heading into this postseason and into next season. That’s not what it sounds like.

Somehow, the Bengals are giving Lewis all the power.

The best quarterbacks have had consistency in their coaches. But, whatever. I would take either one of them to replace Sutton if they're fired.

Thats why bad teams are usually bad, they fire the head coach after their first year. What I dont get is what do these franchises expect with rookie starting qbs and these coaches have only had 1 season to get things into place. Id be pissed if I were these coaches, fans and players.

[dlphg9]

There's a very real chance that Hue Jackson is the Bengals next coach. Mike Brown is a notoriously cheap POS. He can't die soon enough for Bengals fans.

Seems lazy too and doesnt seem too interested in doing anything with the team.

[Sassy Squatch]

If the Steelers lose on Sunday I really wouldn't be too shocked to see Tomlin get the axe. Hell, he might get it anyway just for missing the playoffs.

[Deberg_1990]

Bengals gonna stick with Dalton at QB too?

I’d just shoot myself if I was a fan.

[007]

Sutton?

Will retire.

[jjchieffan]

If the Steelers lose on Sunday I really wouldn't be too shocked to see Tomlin get the axe. Hell, he might get it anyway just for missing the playoffs.

I would be shocked to see that. The Steelers have had less coaching changes than any team in the NFL in the Superbowl era. Do you realize that Tomlin is only their 3rd coach since 1969? That's job security. Most teams in the NFL have had 3 or more coaches in just the last 10 years.

[carcosa]

Yeah, yeah--not yet OC

DC?

[displacedinMN]

DC?

Or Bowles

[saphojunkie]

My friend is a Bengals fan. He just stopped watching or caring about football.

[NJChiefsFan]

I’d just shoot myself if I was a fan.

Being stuck with an average coach and average QB is the worst thing in sports, it's purgatory. Would have been better if one or both of them completely sucked and they bottomed out already.

I’d say Lewis has bottomed out. Pretty hard. For many years now

[Deberg_1990]

Adam Gase, Vance Joseph and Todd Bowles most likely out

[Sassy Squatch]

Glazer on coaches who will be fired: Bowles, Gregg (Two G) Williams, Marvin Lewis, Vance Joseph, Joe Philbin, Dirk Koetter, Steve Wilks.

[Al Bundy]

I have a feeling that Licht will be out in Tampa Bay.

[Sassy Squatch]

Cardinals seem to want McCarthy badly. Willing to give him organizational control. May be good news for thise that want Todd Bowles as DC.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

They must have pictures of Marvin Lewis doing really bad things. For him to even have the nerve show up another year.

Wouldn't be surprised if Zimmer gets shit canned. He didn't make the playoffs after getting Cousins and he keeps running off o coordinators which probably means he is an asshole to work for.

No probably about it. It is well known in NFL circles that Zimmer is not fun to work with/for.

[displacedinMN]

ong before Kirk Cousins became the highest-paid player in NFL history — he finally signed his long-anticipated three-year, $84 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday — he'd had his sights on a fully guaranteed package. ... Cousins will get a $3 million signing bonus and annual workout bonuses of $500,000.

28 million and misses the playoffs.

Fire Speilman too.

Zimmer is a major dickhead. Being the OC for that Offense was a thankless job this year, with that OL going from a strength to shit in one offseason.

If Zimmer gets canned I wonder if Andy calls him about running the D?

He is such a miserable bastard though....

No chance IMO.

It will be Bowles or a promotion from within. You can see it with the fact that Andy let Harris and Mike Smith have an increased role this week in game planning.

I think Andy sees this as more of a Sutton problem, not a scheme problem.

You are basing this off of a smarmy tweet from Marty McDonald.

Anyone can connect the dots with Bowles/Reid if indeed the Chiefs move on from Sutton. Even if Harris/Smith weighed in more on the gameplan, there is no way the Chiefs leak that to give the impression Sutton has been neutered.

Personnel/draft picks under Veach hint there is a consideration to at least move to a hybrid scheme.

I'm with you. Was hoping for McDermott but its not to be.

[Kiimo]

Marvin Lewis doesn't look appealing?



Refresher:

Lewis had coaching internships with the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers before being hired as the linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1992. He was a member of the Steelers' staff when the team lost Super Bowl XXX to the Dallas Cowboys.

The newly relocated Baltimore Ravens (formerly the Cleveland Browns), hired Lewis as their defensive coordinator in 1996, a position that he held for six seasons (1996–2001). In 2000, the Ravens defeated the New York Giants 34–7 in Super Bowl XXXV thanks largely to a defense that allowed the fewest rushing yards (970) and the fewest points (165) in a 16-game regular season. "If ever a man proved his worth as a future head coach, Marvin Lewis did it with this complete domination of the Giants in their 16 possessions: Punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, interception, punt, interception, interception, punt, interception, punt, punt, punt, end of game", wrote Sports Illustrated writer Michael Silver after the game.

Are you sure that you want to poach coaches from talent-laden defenses under the assumption that the coaches are the responsible parties for success instead of the players?

This is no different than taking a 49er backup QB or a Patriot coordinator/executive.

Not saying he wouldn't be a great HC, but he'll certainly benefit from that and being under Reid. We'd better get Kafka ready.

I completely agree. Losing Bienemy is not going to hurt at all. Nagy looks like a genius. How much did losing him hurt the Chiefs?

Ninety-nine percent of these guys are completely replaceable. The trick with coaching isn't to find a genius but to avoid a fuck-up that makes players worse--see Gunther Cunningham and Derrick Thomas, or almost any defensive-minded, conservative coach and a young QB.

Chicago went from a bottom 5 defense in 2014 to a top 15 one after Fangio joined them. He's kept that unit above average for four consecutive years.

Martindale worked under Peas since 2012 in Baltimore and they have had a history of success there.

I think I'm okay with poaching from these coaching staffs rather than the bottom ranked Jets or Cardinals.

Steve Wilks was a major idiot and absolutely deserved to be fired. He took a decent Defense and switched it to a 4-3 because???? and apparently forgot they had one really good weapon on Offense. No way would I fuck with this dude, even as a DC.

Remember how I said the Packers are really a terrible organization that got lucky with 2 QBs? This is why I said it.

But on the flip side, there are a few established coaches that supposedly don't want to coach Aaron Rodgers because they view him as uncoachable and they know Aaron will get all the praise if they win and the coach gets all the blame in the losses despite Aaron constantly going rogue in games.

-Was Matt Ryan’s QB coach in his best season when they went to the Super Bowl.

I'm shocked.

I expected them to hire McDaniels.

But Titans OC?


It's because he's made Mariota all world.

OR

Because they're playcalling has been first class.

You choose.

Looks like Arians to the Bucs...could be interesting, Bowles there as DC?

Supposedly the Cards and Jets are serious about Klingsbury....that would be the biggest finesse in the history of finesses.

Arians would seriously be a great fit with the Bucs.

[Baby Lee]

Arians would seriously be a great fit with the Bucs.

The things Winston would do to that old man's blood pressure, he could literally explode into red mist on the sidelines.

[Chiefnj2]

I think this is a great hire for the Packers. I’m so glad Denver didn’t get him.

The guy worked with Kyle Shannahan and Sean McVay..two excellent teachers.

-Was RGIII’s QB coach when he looked really good as a rookie and 2nd yr.
-Was the QB coach for Everett Golson at ND in 2014 when he had his best season by far (29 TD’s with LeFleur; 23 combined TD’s in 2 years without him).
-Was Matt Ryan’s QB coach in his best season when they went to the Super Bowl.
-Was the OC in LA last year when the Rams offense exploded.

I think this guy is going to kill it with Rodgers.

Also a former QB.

[Sassy Squatch]

Mariota gets his 4th OC in 5 years.

[RunKC]

Apparently McDaniels only interview was Green Bay.

Good. That asshole doesn’t deserve shit after what he pulled last year.

He does not coach anyway. His time at Denver proved that.

I would easily take Williams here in KC as a DC. It won't happen though.

Only the Jets, Dolphins, and Bengals jobs left, and from what I saw the Jets are closing in on a guy not named Bieniemy. That leaves 2 of the most undesirable jobs. Bieniemy better just stay another year.

Dolphins are very interested in Kris Richard from Dallas is the speculation.

I could see:

Jets - McCarthy
Bengals - Hue Jackson

The Dolphins gig is the wildcard.

[Sassy Squatch]

Bengals reportedly have it narrowed down to an offensive mind outside the organization. I think its Bieniemy.

Mike Florio thinks the Dolphins will give the Ravens what they want for Harbaugh, which is 2 first round picks. LMAO

Could be the OC from the Bucs as well. He's been getting some interviews.

They'd just announce it if it was him. It's either Bieniemy or Taylor. They can't officially name the Head Coach if its either of them because their teams are still in the playoffs.
