New Hires: Matt LaFleur - Packers - 3-0 Freddie Kitchens - Browns - 1-2 Bruce Arians - Buccaneers - 1-2 Kliff Kingsbury - Cardinals - 0-2-1 Vic Fangio - Broncos - 0-3 Zac Taylor - Bengals - 0-3 Adam Gase - Jets - 0-3 Brian Flores - Dolphins - 0-3 This is not a great group so far, Arians, Gase and Flores have the best excuses though

Arians seems more likely to just retire again than actually be fired

Arians needs to take play calling away from Leftwich. WTF Byron? https://twitter.com/KevinColePFF/status/1176270431780835330?s=20

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:What exactly is Arians' excuse? Jameis Winston is a pretty good excuse. Also they've been very competitive so far, they were down 20-17 until stupid bullshit late in the 49ers game, won a road TNF game, which is impressive by itself, and should've beaten the Giants (granted, missing the FG compounded by his dumbass decision). Way better then the Buccaneers have been lately. -------------------- On the other hand, the Dolphins played competitive football for a half against the Cowboys, so that's a step forward, but still if they're this bad, Flores has got to loving go at the end of the year.

I don't think Arians can be on any list for the simple reason that he doesn't give a gently caress and also he already holds most of the power in that organization

Wasn't there something about Snyder or Allens son being friends with Haskins?

Haskins seems toolsy enough that if your season is in the toilet you could imagine coaching him up and it working out? Big arm, reasonably accurate, not apparently dumb. Moves like a cement truck but lots of good quarterbacks have had that trait. Believe me I am incredibly hesitant to even possibly side with Washington's front office over anyone in the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gruden doesn't want to place Haskins because the Washington O-Line is a loving mess and he would get destroyed

It's absolutely time to bring in Haskins and see what he can do. I don't really think the chance of getting injured on a sack should be that huge of a consideration

Haskins will tear his ACL on their lovely field and their lovely doctors will accidentally amputate his leg, which would still be a better fate than being the starting QB for Washington.

Everyone's reaction to the Redskins drafting Haskins was basically welp he's hosed.

Washington may not technically be the worst team in the NFL, but they are without question the most hopeless team in the league, at least so long as Snyder is owner.

Yeah, Miami is following a plan. it might not be a good plan, but they've got a vision for where they expect to be in 2-3 years and are working to make that happen. The Jets are currently loving up a plan, but again, it's very easy to see how things go right there even if they're a mess currently. Washington? They've got a coach they're going to fire, a bunch of expensive and aging veterans, a rookie QB they don't want to play, an aging, star left tackle that refuses to play, that they also haven't traded for picks when they could've gotten gold for him, and probably the most incompetent owner / gm combo in the league.

I feel like whatever washington does after they fire gruden is going to be the wrong decision, they presumably paid bill callahan a ton of money to steal him away from the cowboys, and rob ryan/jim tomsula/ray horton were all head coaching candidates at one point, and then kevin o'connell/matt cavanaugh are both sean mcvey-adjacent coaches that the front office already sort of pissed off by shuffling between OC and 'senior offensive assistant'. I see like 2 or 3 of these guys staying

Am I crazy thinking Jay Gruden could easily get another HC job if/when Washington fires him? I know odds are he goes straight to OC or something for John.
|
# ? Sep 27, 2019 22:42 |

He'll probably get some interviews but he is the boringest of retreads with no playoff wins so my guess is he'll have to spend some time as an OC again.
|
# ? Sep 27, 2019 23:15 |

his offenses haven't been great and he's kind of an rear end in a top hat. there's plenty of mitigating circumstances but i think he's gotta have a prove-it year as an OC.

It's gonna be funny when they hire a crappy McVay clone after they already had the real McVay in the building and let him get away. ANYWAY: WEEK 4 RANKINGS COOL Bill Belichick, New England Patriots Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens Frank Reich, Indianapolis Colts Bill O'Brien, Houston Texans Mike Vrabel, Tennessee Titans Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles Chargers Jon Gruden, Oakland Raiders Doug Pederson, Philadelphia Eagles Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys Pat Shurmur, New York Giants Mike Zimmer, Minnesota Vikings Matt Nagy, Chicago Bears Matt Patricia, Detroit Lions Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams Pete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers BOB refuses to go away and I'm tired of talking about him, so he stays here for the foreseeable future (and the Texans are pretty good anyway). Shurmur probably bought himself another year or two depending on how Danny Dimes does. Patricia still isn't impressing me but if the Lions stay above .500, he's safe. Vrabel and the Titans will be in a world of hurt if they fall behind in an AFC South that's been more competitive than expected. FIRST-YEAR COACHES Adam Gase, New York Jets Brian Flores, Miami Dolphins Freddie Kitchens, Cleveland Browns Zac Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals Vic Fangio, Denver Broncos Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers Bruce Arians, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals Early returns have not been promising for this year's class. Kliffy's offense can be best described as "work in progress," LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers already look like an awkward fit, Kitchens is predictably in over his head, Gase is still Gase, and poor Brian Flores got stuck with the mortgage after a housing bubble crash. I'm not ready to predict any one-and-dones yet, though Kitchens is the obvious choice if the Browns continue faceplanting in what was supposed to be a win-now year. MILD Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers -- There are plenty of reasons to think Tomlin is safe -- Big Ben's injury gives him the ultimate mulligan, he has the history and respect of his bosses, and he works for a proudly old-school organization that has literally never fired a head coach. They'll likely grit their teeth and go 6-10 and try again next year. But there's still a tiny part of my brain that can see the team completely bottoming out and Tomlin choosing his own fate with a "mutually agreed to part ways" scenario. It's probably not happening and maybe I'm just wasting words here, but we'll see. Doug Marrone, Jacksonville Jaguars -- MinshewMania kinda feels like a forced meme to me -- I loved the guy at Washington State, but c'mon NFL media, get a grip. That said, he's one of the big reasons why Marrone's seat isn't hotter, the other one being a revived defense that stole Tennessee's lunch money last Thursday. The Jalen Ramsey saga still looms large over the franchise, but their season is far from over. Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers -- It looked like the Panthers were dead and buried after starting off 0-2 and losing Cam Newton indefinitely. But Kyle Allen's shockingly great performance has given them a pulse again, and if he keeps it up, that could flip the narrative on their season. The NFC South is suddenly wide open with Brees out and the Falcons struggling (more on them in a minute), so Carolina has a golden chance to take advantage here. It would certainly cool off Ron's seat if Allen doesn't end up being a one-week fluke. Dan Quinn, Atlanta Falcons -- Three weeks in and I still have the same questions about the Falcons. They're a Julio Jones miracle away from starting 0-3, and their two losses weren't nearly as close as the final scores indicate. This team just seems directionless right now, playing flat, uninspired football. Quinn will quickly move up the rankings if they don't improve, because there's too much talent to not at least be in the playoff picture. MODERATE I've been admittedly conservative on my rankings early on, with a lot of teams still in wait-and-see mode. So no Moderates this week, but that should change soon as the calendar flips to October. SPICY HOT Jay Gruden, Washington -- Monday's embarrassment should've been the end for Case Keenum, but it wouldn't be Washington without some good-old-fashioned front office drama. Supposedly Gruden isn't ready to throw Dwayne Haskins in there, while there are reports that he wasn't on board with drafting Haskins at all. It probably doesn't matter either way, because I'll be shocked if Gruden is still here by Thanksgiving. He's the early frontrunner to be the first midseason firing this year.

I think the only thing keeping Gruden hotter than Quinn is Snyder. Quinn got to fire both his offensive and defensive coordinator and stick around. He has to be about dead at this point.

FizFashizzle posted:I think the only thing keeping Gruden hotter than Quinn is Snyder. Yeah, Quinn and Gruden are toast. Kitchens is a likely one-and-done. Arians is old and mercurial and is a candidate for "mutually agreed to part ways." Also, Benne, I think you're being way too conservative with Gase and Fangio (the latter of whom looks to be completely overmatched and it makes me think there's a reason he whiffed every head coaching interview he got for years).

Fangio may get the benefit of the doubt for his long track record of being a great DC, and because Denver’s biggest issues are on offense. Unless they finish with 3-4 wins and are getting annihilated every week, he’ll get at least a second season like Vance Joseph did, if only because the only way Elway will never admit he made a bad choice that quickly is if it’s a massive and spectacular loving failure.

A defense where Chubb and Von Miller have 0 sacks. Fangio should be 1 and done if this keeps up
