NFL Coaching Updates:

Keep an eye on Jesse Minter (Chargers DC)... Apparently he's the top pic so far to take over Raiders as he also a Michigan man. NOT Shula. Dang it.

[DelMar]

I think the team in the worst spot and the absolute least desirable coaching job is Arizona.

Why?

Well, it's the Cardinals for one and to add insult to injury, you have the Kyler Murray Question/Problem.

The Cardinals have the No. 3 pick in the draft, which is good. But they have a major problem on their roster in that they don't know what to do about Murray.

Arizona is expected to move on from Murray soon, and will come with significant dead money salary cap ramifications for a team that is only middle-of-the-pack in cap space as is and is always watching its financial bottom line.

Key Financial Triggers:

2025: His 2025 salary, roster bonus, and other bonuses became fully guaranteed in early 2025.
2026: His $19.5 million base salary for 2027 becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2026 league year, if he's still on the roster.

Financial Implications:

Releasing Murray before June 1st, 2026, would result in a significant dead cap hit, around $57.8 million.

These guarantees make releasing or trading him financially complex for the Cardinals, especially with the front office/coaching staff being new since he signed the deal.

Are we about to lose John McKay?

A few thoughts……….

I don’t know why the Raiders would hire a defensive coach as their next HC if Mendoza is the pick as well as how much overall offensive help they need………………

Some here think Saleh would convent the AZ job. I agree though on Murray. I wouldn’t want the job knowing I’m stuck with him probably for another year…………..

I think the Atlanta HC job is a damn attractive one. Some good pieces in place in a not so good division………….

I don’t see how the rams don’t lose someone from their offensive staff. I heard the Raiders have interest in our passing game coordinator………..

Agree on Atlanta, imo, that is the most attractive job... they have a good foundation of players, and an owner who will spend the cash when needed.

Ravens considering letting Harbaugh walk.

Actually pretty shocking. Good luck at finding a better replacement w this one.

I said to myself last night the loser of this game may be getting rid of their long time HC. Tomlin though I think it would be by his doing and I think it could still happen…………….

Harbough wouldn’t be unemployed long if he wanted to continue coaching……………

Yep, and imo, Harbaugh would just like last years Mike Vrabel.

He'd be snatched up so quick and also demand a high salary.

Kingsbury and Whitt out as Commanders coordinators

Kliff just cant catch a break... I sure bet he regrets screwing over USC not long ago...

Do Defensive coordinators ever make good NFL Head coaches?

Cower, John Harbough, BB, Dungy, Parcells……………..

I think Jack was kidding w that question...

I mean, he has to be. Right?

[bigklein]

Is DC Schwartz also leaving Cleveland? I’ve always liked him as a DC.

I can picture Jonathon Gannon returning to his Cleveland roots and being the Browns DC.

I could even picture Schwartz or Gannon being the Rams DC if Shula leaves.

I’m reading that the Browns owner really wants to keep Schwartz as DC. They may even consider him as HC to keep him………..

[GoldenRam]

Lions OC got the axe as well .. a few of those teams are likely to pivot with Harbaugh now being available

I'd like to see Harbaugh go to the Raiders. I think he could turn them around and it would be fun to watch the two brothers go at it in the AFC West. There's talk of trading Crosby and doing a complete tear down but I wouldn't necessarily go that route if they got Harbaugh.

McDaniel fired

[DelMar]

McDaniel fired

My suggestion (for starters) for McDaniels here when interviewing for new jobs, maybe not look like that drug kingpin in Miami Vice, who moves large amounts of cocaine. Just a thought.

Guys like Mike here, and Kingsbury just need to stick to OC jobs... some aren't build to lead an entire team.

Imo he will get another chance to be a HC. So many openings, and rumors is Miami fired him to make room for Harbaugh. I'm thinking Kingsbury get a OC job. Keep a eye on Josh McDaniels, he might get another chance at a HC job.

McDaniel fired

he should have been the first one fired. dude lost his time a long time ago
