Prediction: Head Coaching Changes this offseason

[JoeF]

A lot of openings.  I am predicting 12....wow... alternatives welcome :-)

 

NFC:

New York Giants - Bill Belichick - Mara's provide an ownership stake and a high first-round pick.   Belichick wants one more challenge and rebuilding the Giants is it.

Dallas Cowboys - Jim Bob Cooter

Washington Redskins- Matt Patricia

Arizona Cardinals - Byron Leftwich (current QB coach)

Detroit Lions - Teryl Austin (Current DC)

Chicago Bears- Pat Shurmur

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mike Smith (Current DC)

 

AFC

New England Patriots - Josh McDaniel (Bill O'Brien ends up as OC of the NYG)

Houston Texans - Mike Vrabel

Indianapolis Colts - David Shaw

Bengals - Hue Jackson

Browns - Matt Nagy

 

[RoyBatty is alive]

Texans set an NFL record with the number of injuries/different players they were forced to play this year.  No way McNair is going to fire Obrien and he is not quitting so no Vrabel at Houston.

 

And I would be thrilled if Patricia went to the Redskins.

Belichick to the Giants? Leftwich as head guy in Arizona? And I'm not so sure Tampa would promote from within again.

Must be the after-effects of too much spiked eggnog :-)    Just having a little fun...

[Chuck Wagon]

Bucs - Gruden

Lions - Austin

Bears - Bob Stoops

Colts - Jim Harbaugh

Bengals - Hue Jackson

Browns - Dave Toub

Broncos - Frank Reich

Giants - Josh McDaniel

I do have a weird feeling Belichick coaches the Giants and McDaniels coaches the Pats as well. 

 

The Big job this offseason will be Oakland Raiders. My guess is the Raiders end up with a big name offensive coach. 

[Mike in Horseheads]

Is BB a free agent after this year?

What makes you both think BB would leave the Patriots and Robert Kraft for the Giants? Has this been rumored? 

 

QB coach to head coach would be quite the promotion for Leftwich. Idk if he is ready for that.

I just feel like it's the end of the dynasty this year. Maybe the tabloid rumors of the rift between Brady and Belichick are getting to me. But I did find it odd they shipped Jimmy G to Brady's hometown team for a pretty cheap price. Almost trying to piss Brady off. 

[/dev/null]

AFC

NY Jets

Cincinnati

Cleveland (allows Hue Jackson to walk to Cincy with his 1-31 record and whatever dignity he has left)

Indianapolis

 

NFC

NY Giants

Detroit

Chicago

Tampa

Arizona

 

Gase survives another year in Miami

Elways gives Joseph a Mulligan

Jerrah grants Garrett a reprieve

Gruden stays in the booth

Belicheat isn't going anywhere as long as Brady sticks around

 

Surprise opening: if Pittsburgh wins the Super Bowl, Big Ben retires and Tomlin rides out a winner

[dpberr]

I'd add the Jets, Broncos, Raiders and my darkhorse pick, the Packers.

 

I think McCarthy has run his course in Green Bay and Elway will get a "name" this offseason.

Good question, wouldn't another team have to offer compensation. He just can't quit & go to another team can he ?  Only the Bills write that in a contract.
