    Jim Harbaugh and Ben Johnson should not. Those guys are bums and no one should want them.

    You probably shouldn't get the opportunity to hire another HC if you thought Hackett was the guy a year ago

    Jim Harbaugh is absolutely going to flirt with Indy and then they'll settle for BoB.

    Given their recent history, no one associated with the Broncos should be allowed anywhere near that search. Since Shanahan was fired after the 08 season, their HCs have been...

    McDaniels - < 2 years
    Fox - 4 years
    Kubiak - 2 years (retired)
    Joseph - 2 years
    Fangio - 3 years
    Hackett - < 1 year

    A couple of those dudes were saddled with some really incredibly bad QB play, I think Fangio could have been good

    The problem is their personnel department more than any of those coaches. They’ve sucked on the offensive side of the ball since Peyton’s guys left.

    Every year that teams pass on Eric Bieniemy is the more that they should suffer.

    My guesses:
    Tampa Bay or Carolina. Loser of the NFC South race loses their job.
    Arizona (Kliffy is a dead man walking and soon to be Chiefs asst)
    Houston

    Possible Wild Cards:
    Green Bay (I could see a total reset coming)
    Las Vegas (McDaniels should of never been hired. Hard to say he will get canned after just one year with a QB that wasn't his.)
    Chargers (I think anything less than a playoff win puts Staley in dangerous waters. They've nearly blown the prime window for Herbert.)
    Seattle (At some point Pete is gonna say fuck it)

    NFL teams are collectively on the hook for almost $1 billion in buyouts. It's so bad the league office sent the teams a memo basically saying "Hey guys if you made better hires/stuck with them longer you'd all be a little more profitable"

    I think Houston is stuck with Lovie for another year before it can fire him and maybe get to hire the white guy they want. I think the Saints are the more likely team to fire someone after one year than the Texans or Raiders.

    I don't know if it's all media bluster, but NE seems like it could get weird if Bill refuses to change his staff around. That one feels like a college situation more than an NFL one on some levels.

    Cleveland feels like the most likely change people aren't anticipating.

    bob Kraft will do whatever he feels like will get him in the HOF Based on some Peter King and Mike Sando tidbits


    Also, Bill OBrien told a lot of people that he was going to honor his 2 year deal with Nick barring an nfl HC job being offered to him.

    i think you get BOB to NE OC, Kliff to Bama OC and Sean Payton to Zona

    I don't see Payton choosing the Cardinals, but I'm not sure where else he lands if he really wants back in, either. None of Carolina, Indy and Denver are intriguing for him, either.

    I definitely believe BOB will be OC in NE one way or another. There's too many rumblings in too many different places about it.

    Phx was the only place I thought had the Qb (regardless of what we see from Kyler a guy like Payton will think he can fix him) along with Hopkins, and a few other interesting pieces.

    obviously I think he’d prefer LAC if it opens but if it doesn’t I agree with you that Indy, Carolina, etc doesn’t appeal to him.

    if he waits another year his contract expires right? As it stands anyone who hires him will have to send compensation to NO.

    I might regret this later, but the Chargers are the only potential opening that scares me at all in terms of Harbaugh possibly leaving UM. Payton there would be a big name, but I think Harbaugh is perfect there and he'd would be stupid not to take that if he truly wants to try to chase that unfinished business he talked about.

    So in other words, I'm cheering for the Chargers to go to the Super Bowl this year.

    It's hard to say. While it wouldn't look good, they could possibly sell it off by blaming it all on the preacher.

    I like Lovie but would you want him in charge of developing your franchise QB?

    coaching is a fraternity on any level in any sport. once you're in, you're in, and you can use the good ol' boy network to get another job unless extenuating circumstances apply. same reason some of these bad pennies in college keep turning up.

    you're underselling it, honestly. the NFL is pissed that teams would rather pay a buyout than stick it out with a guy for more than 30-35 games. then the owners just said "whatever, bozos" and do it anyway.

    You're not worried about Indy? They've got a pretty decent roster outside of QB and he's obviously in their ring of honor. Plus I'm sure Irsay would give him whatever he wants.

    Not really. I think Indy chases him. Denver probably, too. I don't think Jim is looking to leave right now like the last two years. And I don't think he has to take the Indy or Denver jobs because he's rebuilt his name enough to be picky. I think his preference is to be on the west coast. I might be dead wrong on that. And maybe things change if UM wins a couple games soon.

    Yeah, makes sense. I can't imagine Jim loves the bullshit going on in college right now but like you said he's built up a lot of equity the last two years so I don't think I'd be terribly surprised either way.

    I don't know what he's going to do. It's Harbaugh and no one ever knows what he wants. It also wouldn't surprise if me if just about anyone from CFB left for the league at this point. Kirby is probably the only one that would make me to a double take on it unless it was a job like the Chargers that everyone in the sport would have to be at least somewhat intrigued about. For whatever reason I just don't think he'd be that interested in Indy. I think he'd be more likely to be intrigued by Denver than Indy if I had to guess.

    speaking of harbaugh ----

    any chance baltimore and john harbaugh decide to go in a different direction? they haven't been back to the AFC Championship Game since they won the Super Bowl in 2012. they had the year from hell last year re: injuries and haven't had the easiest go of it this year, either. internet people have pointed to greg roman as an issue for years yet harbaugh hasn't made a change there.

    i think john harbaugh is a really good coach so i don't think baltimore should fire him, obviously. but i do think things can get stale after a while (see: andy reid in philly) and there could be a desire to reset there. maybe they desire a HC (Ben Johnson?) who they think could better leverage lamar's talents, etc.
