C.Biscuit97 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: I love this hire as a Bills fan. Not saying Mayo isn't a brilliant guy with potential to be a great football head coach. But...I mean, come on. The Patriots are a mess and they needed to completely clean house and start from scratch. This isn't doing that. They promoted a guy from a defense that finished 7th despite playing with one of the worst offenses in the nfl. are they more of a mess than the Texans were last year? If they hit on a qb and get any type of talent on offense, that could be a quicker turnaround that you think. Maybe Mayo sucks (I hate real Mayo). But I think Bills fans are underestimating how terrible of a GM Belichick was. Any guy with a pulse will upgrade them. And I won’t be shocked if McDaniels because the best qb out of this draft. easily the worst team in the division now, but all things considered, they are in a better spot than like the drought bills (never high picks because they were always 7-9). 1 hour ago, BuffaloBillyG said: I think one of the more interesting things about the Mayo promotion is there is a good chance a high percentage of assistant coaches as well as position coaches are retained. Would make it harder on Belichick to round out his own coaching staff should be land a new HC job. You would think a lot of coaches would come work under under BB. Kinda of like what Saban used to do. Quote

There's a reason he always brings people back after they fail elsewhere. Smaller circle. 1 Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted January 12 Posted January 12 14 hours ago, 947 said: I hadn't thought about it, but the Panthers job is about as undesirable of an NFL head coaching gig as there's ever been in the league. - #1 overall pick QB who is way undersized and utterly terrible as a rookie. - No first round pick this year, plus other pick traded away. - Not much talent anywhere on the roster. No FAs are coming there. - The last head coach was fired a few games into his tenure. Surely somebody will take it, but Damn. Maybe David Culley has the itch to coach again. Quote

Gregg Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Commanders got their guy to run the entire football ops.

Now Peters becomes the first major front office hire made by Commanders owner Josh Harris as Washington enters a new era." / X (twitter.com) Quote

Decent back up I guess. i do think O’Brien is a good OC limited by bad qbs and lack of playmakers, BOB is a backstabbing clown and Mayo's skids will be greased from day one if he keeps him. Quote

I think he might lean towards a veteran OC but there are so many young innovative offensive coaches who could do awesome things with McDaniels. Quote

Bill should hold tight to see if Dallas or Philly opens up. Either one could fire the coach if they lose. Dallas would be the best job open. Loaded roster, rich owner who loves to spend, weak division, weak conference. Raiders is, IMO, the worst. Loaded division with Reid/Mahomes, Sean Payton, Justin Herbert then the Raiders, who can be plucky and tough and whatever but will always be competing for the wild card round. Atlanta would also be a great spot, maybe better than Dallas. You can be 5-10 and still in the hunt for that division. Edited January 12 by TheFunPolice Quote

Warcodered Posted January 12 Posted January 12 4 hours ago, GunnerBill said: It was obviously the plan all along. They wanted to keep Mayo last year when he was getting interview requests so they included this clause in the contract. He is very highly rated as a defensive brain and was an excellent player but I watched Mangini on Cowherd yesterday and he made a very good point. He has only ever played and coached in New England under Bill Belichick. While he is no doubt his own personality and his own man, at the same time you have to question has he seen enough of other approaches to really change the way things run in New England? And what are they doing about GM? They presumably need to hire a General Manager to run personnel for him. The Bills got criticised by some for giving a first time Head Coach in McDermott power over the draft in year 1 and then power to handpick his own GM right after that draft. But McDermott at least had a track record of some success in a coordinator position and had been on the staff of two successful franchises in Philadelphia and Carolina who had made Superbowls so had seen the way good organisations run and operate. While Mayo saw that as a player, he has no track record as a fully blown DC. He wasn't even de-facto DC as he shared that with Belichick's son and he has not been with the Patriots as a coach for any meaningful success. Two one and done playoff runs is all he has seen. Now he gets the HC job by default and presumably a say in who his GM is. It is going to be an internal candidate presumably because he doesn't know anyone external!! Nah you're over thinking this, this is the Belichick coaching tree we're talking about here. 2 Quote

He and Jerry would be like mixing gasoline and fire. Jerry's ego is bigger than the size of Texas. I can't imagine Bill would want him meddling on the football side of things as he would want to do things his own way. 2 Quote

Atlanta has a ton of offensive skill players and the #8 overall pick this year. Plus a pathetic division. Imagine having a top 10 pick but also being in the playoff hunt in week 17 for a division title! That would be my destination. Good owner also who seems pretty hands off and willing to spend. Anything in the AFC is brutal. Burrow will be back, and now we know the Browns are legitimately good. Chiefs will get weapons for Mahomes. Rodgers will be healthy, and the Jets won 7 without him. Anything could happen but the AFC will be a real grind. NFC? There's like 3-4 good teams a lot of meh. If the goal is to get to Super Bowls the road is way easier in the NFC. 1 Quote

Great points but I don’t see Belichick as an Atlanta guy. But if the falcons do get a qb, they will be a major problem. Quote

I could see him and Jerry Jones coexisting for a couple seasons as a way to get Dallas over the top if Big Mike and Dak come up short this weekend (or next). Whoever hires him it's probably 3 years max. Edited January 12 by TheFunPolice Quote

Yeah the best situation purely by personnel, ownership, and pick to join to me is Atlanta. The Commanders don't have the personnel but the pick and ability to build your own thing is intriguing too. This ownership is probably a lot better than Snyder too. Quote
