Cardinals- Todd Bowles. They are going the try for Mike Mccarthy but Mccarthy wants to sit out a year so I say they hire their former DC

Dolphins- Jim Harbaugh. Apparently the Dolphins owner and Harbaugh are friends. I say he leaves Ann Arbor for South Beach.

Packers- Vic Fangio. The Packers hurt the Bears and improve their defense with one hire.

Broncos- Adam Gase. Former Broncos OC. Elway loves retreads.

Jets- Matt Rhule- He is from NYC and wants to coach in the NFL.

Bengals- Wes Phillips. Yup the TE coach of the Redskins
. He's an up and coming offensive guy and Paul Brown is cheap as hell

Buccaneers- Jim Schwartz. A great 4-3 defensive coordinator. Yes, a retread but this is the NFL

Yea Stephen Ross is the biggest donor Michigan has. Business school is named after him, their athletic center is being named after him too

They probably know each other

Can't see Jim leaving his $9 mil a year for the Dolphins just yet.

Elway can't get away with hiring a just fired coach, no matter how much he likes retreads. I see him making a run at a hot shot OC, but not Gase.

Jets --- Not sure if the City would go for Rhule. A higher profile college coach, maybe. Could they temp Meyer to the pros and draft Haskins in the process?

Like your other predictions.

Packers- Joe Lombardi. The ESPN stories and national sports articles just write themselves, especially if the Saints end up making a Super Bowl run.

I don't know why people think these college coaches are itching to go to the NFL.

You used to have to make it to the NFL to make good money. That's not the case anymore. That's why most of these openings will be filled with NFL assistants and HC retreads.

Well for some it's not about the money but not having to deal with the recruiting and baby-sitting aspects of college coaching

They just fired a defensive coach after one season. They have a young QB who I suspect they want to develop. I would be shocked if they don't go with a HC with an offense background.

Stephen Ross is the Michigan alum who ponied up the big money to get Harbaugh to Michigan in the first place. Unless taking Harbaugh off of Michigan's hand would be a "gift" to his alma mater OR Harbaugh just really wants to leave college football, I don't see Ross putting his alma mater in a bad spot.

quote:

Packers- Vic Fangio. The Packers hurt the Bears and improve their defense with one hire.


Presumably McCarthy was let go because he and Rogers couldn't coexist. They may go with a defensive guy, but ONLY if Rogers helps pick the OC.

I think someone will stupidly hire Eric Bienemy even though he is essentially OC in name only. Andy Reid is the matermind. Same as Pete Carmichael in NOLA.

They can not stand each other. Highly unlikely.

Have to think he tries his luck with Urban Meyer gone. He stays.

Exactly. He’s not leaving Ann Arbor until he beats Ohio state.

Getting to pick your entire team and having young impressionable guys are not disadvantages
