I doubt Brady gets a job this year. There are only 5 openings at the moment and 2 are going to Vrabel and Johnson. 

And the 3rd will go to Billy Bellicheat.

 

and then there were two!

I think Brady has a good shot at the Saints head coaching job if he wants it.  There are no real outstanding candidates interviewing there and he has ties to, and a history with, the area.  Hope he realizes that it is a less than ideal situation with their cap and QB issues.

Aaron Glenn is the favourite there but also with the Jets. He has to decide which, if any, of those is less toxic. If Glenn takes the Jet job I think McCarthy and Brady will be the finalists for the Saints.

Take the interview for practice and to drive the price up on the Saints.

 

But dang, I'm reminded that we again have to deal with this crap while trying to make a playoff run.

 

The league needs to fix this and allow coordinators to stay focused until the season is over.

yep I agree. At least the ravens had to deal with it too. Their OC had at least two interviews this week as well.

There just isn't time. The NFL has maximised the calendar. If you say no coaches can interview until after the Superbowl that leaves 4 and a half weeks until free agency opens. It just isn't time to run a process, hire a coach, hire a staff, self scout your team, scout the upcoming FAs and set your free agency priorities. 

 

It is proven already that getting to the Superbowl makes it harder to get hired as a HC because even when they are chosen in advance and start work the Monday after the Superbowl and have made a start on a staff ahead of time it is STILL difficult to get everything else in place to hit the ground running by FA. 

 

I know people say well push FA back. To do that you have to then move the draft back too and they did do that one year and have it in May and the teams moaned that didn't give them enough time to get players in and settled ahead of the June down time. And that time in June has to be protected. It is the only time in the entire year coaches and personnel people get off.

They could do it during the 2 week break between playoffs and superbowl. That would be better imo.

[Charles Romes]

I could see him going to Jacksonville. Much better starting pieces on offense than you normally get with Lawrence, Thomas and RBs. Brady will not be going any place in QB purgatory after his Carolina experience.

You mean the whole process? Possibly. But that still squeezes the time.

? You do know he's head coach of UNC now don't you?

[aristocrat]

Is Brady aligning himself with Terrence Gray?  The gm head coach combo should be the way to go. We also get the benfit of two thirds if Gray gets hired.

I'd rather a team that just dumped their coach have to squeeze their time than a team still in it looking to win a playoff game.

I think what you'd end up with is coordinators of teams getting past the divisional round just never getting hired. I don't think that is a solution. 

 

The ONLY viable solution if you want to do something (and I don't have an issue with how it works currently) is to truncate pre-season and training camp, give everyone the entirity of July off and that allows you to push FA back a bit and the draft back about 3 weeks to mid May. Do your OTAs and mini camps May and June.

Per all the latest “buzz”

 

Jets - Flores

Raiders - Johnson

Cowboys - Deon

Bears - McCarthy 

Jags - Saleh 

Saints - Glenn

 

 

Kliff and Brady - ?
 

But the Bears should absolutely hire him if he wants it.  

And Brady should absolutely wait.  This offense will still be elite and he will be a bigger name next year.

I actually think the Bears would be a great fit for Joe Brady

Not if you put a lock on any and all interviews until then. Let teams show intent of who they want to interview and even schedule it, but can't actually interview until then. Then it keeps it fair between all teams looking for a coach. Last season 2 coaches were hired Jan 26th and 2 more were hired Jan 31st. Cardinals and Colts didn't make their hire until after the super bowl. If teams can wait that long then they can wait that long to interview.

If you didn't let teams start until then they'd be in such a rush they wouldn't be working around the schedules of coordinators coaching in the Superbowl. I mean maybe you knock it back a round and it is only 2 teams coordinators who are ruled out rather than 4 but I just don't think it makes it fairer personally. The calendar is the problem. The NFL has maximised it. 

[Scott7975]

This is probably late but just seen it. They also interviewed Monken.

They would have weeks to schedule something that has a 2 week time period to be interviewed. Im sorry, I just don't agree with you.

The bears job is the one to take. Guys should be falling over each other to get it. Just go in and demand they spend a ton of money and draft picks on the o line and you’ve got a contender

Seems a job like whoever takes the NO job is destined for failure unless he gets a true 5 year commitment to tear down and build. They are running out of band aids in NO, weak division or not
