So...which college program suddenly decides that their current coach needs to go? Or, perhaps, which college program doesn't put up much of a fight when an NFL team comes calling after their season is over?
Overrated NFL coach and definitely should not have GM duties if he decides to stick in the NFL. Should go back to college, where he'll have his choice of jobs.
Eh...he's a solid coach, I think. He made the playoffs with Nick Foles and a terrible defense. Took a 4-12 team to 10-6 the next two seasons. It's his personnel management that really did him in, IMO. He was delusional on that end, and it's really what caused this terrible season.
why? he was going to revolutionize the league with the extra extreme nohuddleleavedefensesbefuddled offense.
The Titans will offer the bank to make sure they pair him up with Mariota for at least a short term stint in Tennessee... Personally speaking, he really may have so much more success if he wasnt given all the key to the franchise, and was forced to hire a GM...That market is way to demanding... He was really disappointing in Phili.
UT needs to just say **** it, live through the bad PR from firing Strong after 2 horrible seasons and give him a blank check. He would own the Big 12. Most all Texas high schools play spread offense. He'd recruit like a mad man. Do it now!!!

Titans seem like the logical NFL choice. He'll probably find other jobs to leverage into personnel power again. I think there is about 90% chance of him going there and getting significant power over personnel. In the College ranks, UGA, Miami, & USC have filled their positions. Auburn could fire Malzahn, and Texas would have to consider firing Strong, though I think he's pretty safe until next season. I'd say the most likely position after the Titans is for Chip to join ESPN and wait for a better college job to open up.
