With Kevin Stefanski also getting axed by the Browns, only the Bengals Zac Taylor remains as a returning HC in the AFC North.
 

Dan Graziano's predictions based on what he's hearing:

Cardinals coach: Klint Kubiak, Seahawks offensive coordinator

Falcons coach: John Harbaugh, former Ravens head coach

Ravens coach: Kevin Stefanski, former Browns head coach

Browns coach: Mike McDaniel, former Dolphins head coach

Raiders coach: Robert Saleh, current 49ers defensive coordinator

Dolphins coach: Chris Shula, Rams defensive coordinator

Giants coach: Jeff Hafley, Packers defensive coordinator

Steelers coach: Jesse Minter, Chargers defensive coordinator

Shout out for Ogie's guy:

Other potential candidates: If the Steelers want to go a little off the board, watch out for Broncos QBs coach Davis Webb, who turns 31 next week and is getting attention from several teams for offensive coordinator and even head coach interviews.

He said "stepping down", not admitting himself to the loony bin. 😉

With both Tomlin and Harbaugh hitting the market, we're going to find out what kind of swag Brady carries around the league with coaches.

It should be very interesting to see who really does end up in Vegas. I'm not ruling out anyone but the lack of a QB has to hurt their chances for a more established candidate.

Not as much as some imagine, I imagine 🤷‍♂️

I saw one argument, more than one actually, that the Raiders could be the best job out there. I don't know that I agree with it, there are so many holes on the roster, but it's certainly not the worst.

A shitload of available cap space, the #1 overall pick, warm climate with no state income tax, Jeanty and Bowers, new stadium and the new facilities in Henderson have been ranked among the best in the NFL, et al.
 


Some guy who is apparently tied into the NFL, particularly the New York area, claims the first HC domino is about to fall in the next couple hours. I guess we'll see. Could be the Giants, as it seems he's connected there

I don't really know if he's very connected in the NFL (likely not a LOT?) but Warren Sharp is one of the major heavy hitters for NFL/NCAA football gambling analysis, etc. He thinks Sirianni should/could be out after that debacle. Sirianni is another coach I have not ever been very big on; when he has elite OC's and DC's, he does pretty well. The Eagles offense has not been great all year, despite having a pretty talented roster.

I wonder if more changes are coming across the NFL, whether it's Green Bay and/or Philly?

as expected, patullo fired.

Steelers would still retain the rights to Tomlin, so a team that wants him would have to trade for him, like the Broncos did with Sean Payton. The Broncos gave up a 1st rounder, a 2nd rounder, and got back Payton and a 3rd rounder. Have to believe the arrangement for Tomlin would be somewhat similar.

Maybe Tomlin sits out a year to relax, who knows. Part of me thinks he's had (or his agent has had) at least some kind of tentative discussions with one or more teams for him to just walk out the door. Maybe not though.

The rumor I've seen is that he has a large TV deal in place.

I was hoping I'd see more Cignetti to Steelers rumors...

So were Gopher and B1G football fans.

Schefty and Jeremy Fowler both just said they haven't heard even a whisper from any team about reaching out to Cignetti for their openings. Seems strange.
 

Skor north keeps hinting that Flores is in trouble in some way. Not sure why they are stating half truths
