https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...gs-2020-latest-rumors-buzz-everything-hearing Industry sources are certain Eric Bieniemy will get one of these jobs The Chiefs' offensive coordinator has been on the head-coach interview circuit the past couple of years but hasn't managed to get one of the jobs. His contract expires at the end of the season. The Chiefs would love to have him back, but they know he's probably gone. Houston definitely has interest, and some believe Bieniemy could already be the front-runner there. The quarterback, overall roster talent and organizational structure will be important to him, and the Texans can offer that, with the willingness to tie a new general manager to the coach. Bieniemy is the marquee Rooney Rule candidate in a year with revamped rules to encourage the hiring of Black coaches. He's far from the only qualified coordinator or assistant coach. Hiring Bieniemy should be the floor for diversity hiring this year. Josh McDaniels looms large once again Former Patriots executive Jack Easterby, who ironically was brought into the Houston organization by O'Brien, has massive influence in that organization right now and is likely to direct both hires. That has fueled some speculation of a Nick Caserio/Josh McDaniels pairing in Houston, but McDaniels still carries some baggage from the Indianapolis fiasco of a couple of years ago. McDaniels is a guy on whom you'd have to sell ownership if you wanted to hire him, which we aren't even sure Easterby does. Easterby and McDaniels did have a relationship when in New England together, so the connection is worth watching. And winning with Cam Newton at quarterback the season after Tom Brady left would remind everybody why McDaniels is so well regarded as an offensive mind in the first place. There could be several GM openings, too As we mentioned, the Texans and Falcons jobs are already open. Industry sources are watching the Panthers and Giants for potential openings, and some believe Washington will hire a general manager at some point as well. As for GM candidates? The names you hear include: Caserio, the longtime Patriots exec whose new contract, per sources, allows him to leave whenever he wants to. Eliot Wolf (the son of former NFL GM Ron Wolf), who's now working with Caserio in New England after stints with the Packers and Browns. He is still on teams' lists. Vikings assistant GM George Paton, who some believe would leave Minnesota for the right opportunity. He got a long look from the Browns last year but decided to stay put. Usual suspects from the Seattle front office, Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner. Veteran personnel man Alonzo Highsmith, also with the Seahawks, helped build talented rosters in Green Bay and Cleveland, along with Wolf. Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen, Chiefs director of football operations Mike Borgonzi, Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds and Bucs director of player personnel John Spytek. Who's got next? Candidates for head-coach openings OK, you want to know who the candidates are going to be for these openings? We've already addressed Bieniemy, who seems the most likely hire. After that, there's a good bit of buzz around Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who's likely to get multiple interviews. One big reason why? He's good at what Kyle Shanahan is good at: creating explosive plays without a dominant quarterback. Only Dallas is producing more yards per game than Tennessee's 422, despite the Titans' ranking 11th in passing offense. Should Smith leave, Bill O'Brien, who gave Mike Vrabel his first NFL coaching job, could be a favorite to join Vrabel's staff as offensive coordinator if that's what he wants. O'Brien also could turn out to be the head-coach apple of some team's eye, be it an NFL team or a college team. Others names we've heard include Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer (word is the Seattle culture has been good for him, and convincing Pete Carroll to "Let Russ Cook" has been no small accomplishment), Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and, as usual, McDaniels. It can be tough for defensive coaches to get traction in head-coaching interview circles, but a couple of defensive coordinators to watch include San Francisco's Robert Saleh and a list of former head coaches: Buffalo's Leslie Frazier, New Orleans' Dennis Allen, Tampa Bay's Todd Bowles and, if the Chiefs were to win again, maybe even Kansas City's Steve Spagnuolo. Saints assistant Dan Campbell has some head-coaching experience and would like another shot, and some teams have him on their radar. 49ers offensive assistants Mike LaFleur and Mike McDaniel are names of interest. Guys working behind hot coordinators such as Bieniemy and Roman also could get interviews, which means you look at prospects such as Chiefs assistant (and longtime Andy Reid favorite) Mike Kafka as well as Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban.
And they have had some incredible drafts as of late as well. Their 2018 draft produced 5 starters, 4 of them drafted in the 3rd or later. Not to mention this past draft where they have multiple picks starting or in their 2 deep.
I want someone who "does more with less" as my next head coach. I'm keeping an eye on what Joe Brady is doing with Teddy Bridgewater and the Panthers. Idc if he's too young, and this is with CMC missing time.
What this season has shown is Brady made a lot of coaches look better than they are. Name a Bill Belichick assistant that has done anything other than Saban. Brady is who brings the culture and the credibility.
Not sure where to put this. But Everson Griffin for a conditional 6th and only paying 3 mil seems like a no brained. We need dline help so bad.
It’s still amazing how much BOB has ****ed this organization the next few years. He deserves to be in prison.
Season is over so don’t think spending draft capital for 9 game rental is a great idea. Think we should bench Watson, hold a fire sale, and hopefully gain enough capital to move up the draft.
Think I’d be happy with Brady than any other candidate. What he did with Burrow and LSU was masterclass and we’re seeing it with Teddy now. Unfortunately don’t see Cal handing him the keys at this point.
It's been fairly abysmal - but it's sure starting to look like Mike Vrabel is going to be an exception, and we had the guy.
I don't think Vrabel was ever a Belichick assistant, only played for him. The irony is that a Bill O'Brien assistant has gotten his team farther than any Belichick assistant, and Vrabel accomplished it in his 2nd year as HC.
Talk to me when he has a winning season. BOB unfortunately has the best record from the BB coaching tree.
We should gauge the interest of Sean Payton. He might be out of New Orleans with Brees falling off, and them being in cap hell.
