Obviously someone outside of current list of:

Byron Leftwich?
Dennis Allen
Brian Flores
Doug Pederson
Aaron Glenn
Darren Rizzi


I'll start with Scott Turner. Son of Norv Turner. Has been offensive coordinator for washington previous two season. Carolina before then in various roles, and Minnesota at one point before that (teddy b rookie year) Turning 40 yrs old. I think it's a very interesting candidate that may be quite a bit under the radar at this time.

LINK Washington's bio

Biography
Scott Turner is entering his third season as the offensive coordinator with Washington after being hired on January 8, 2020. He will be entering his 10th NFL season and has held positions with the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings during his NFL career.

Turner highlighted the versatility of the running back room last season. He guided two running backs with 950-plus scrimmage yards in a season for the third time in franchise history, and first since Joe Washington and John Riggins did so in 1983.

In Turner's offense, running back J.D. McKissic recorded the second-most receptions [80] and fifth-most receiving yards [589] for a running back in a season in franchise history.

Washington started four different quarterbacks during the 2020 season, combining for the second-most completions in a single season in franchise history [389].

Under Turner's tutelage, two players amassed 1,000 yards in 2020. Running back Antonio Gibson became the first Washington rookie to gain 1,000 scrimmage yards since Alfred Morris in 2012, as Terry McLaurin became the first Washington wide receiver with 1,000 yards in a season since 2016.

The offense in Washington took leaps in the second half of last season, registering 2,916 second-half scrimmage yards. It marks the seventh-most in a single season in club history and most since 2016 [3,635], since the stat was officially recorded in 1991.

Turner came to Washington from Carolina, where he served as quarterbacks coach as well as interim offensive coordinator in 2019.

In 2018, Turner helped quarterback Cam Newton post a franchise-record 67.9 completion percentage, despite playing through injury. The Panthers finished 10th in the league in net yards [373.3], the second-highest season average in club history.

Turner served as quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2014-16, helping quarterback Sam Bradford to set a then-NFL record in completion percentage [71.6].

In 2014, he assisted Teddy Bridgewater in setting virtually every franchise rookie passing record, and producing the third-best completion percentage [64.6] and seventh-highest passer rating [85.2] in NFL history for a rookie.

As the wide receivers coach for the Cleveland Browns in 2013, Turner helped Josh Gordon to become the first Browns player in history to lead the NFL in receiving yards [1,646] and became the first player in NFL history with back-to-back 200-yard receiving games.

In 2013, Turner coached wide receivers for the Cleveland Browns, helping Josh Gordon to the best receiving season in Browns history. Despite appearing in just 14 games, he became the first player in Browns history to lead the NFL in receiving yards (1,646).

Turner entered NFL coaching with two seasons as offensive quality control coach for the Panthers in 2011 and 2012. The Panthers recorded two of the top four seasons in franchise history in terms of net yards, setting the all-time mark with 389.8 yards per game in 2011 and 360.7 in 2012. Newton was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011. His 14 rushing touchdowns broke the NFL record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback and were just one shy of the NFL record of rushing touchdowns by a rookie.

Prior to Turner's first stint in Carolina, he spent three seasons at the University of Pittsburgh, two as an offensive assistant and the last as wide receivers coach. Turner made his coaching debut in 2005 as a graduate assistant at Oregon State before serving as the offensive coordinator at South County (Va.) Secondary School from 2006-07.

A three-year letterman at Nevada-Las Vegas from 2002-04, Turner graduated with a degree in psychology. He served as a reserve quarterback for the Rebels as a junior and senior and played on special teams as a sophomore after being redshirted as a freshman. He earned his college degree in psychology from UNLV in 2006.

Turner is the son of former NFL Coach Norv Turner. The two previously coached together in Carolina, Minnesota and Cleveland. Turner graduated from Oakton High School in Vienna, Va. when his father was the Head Coach of the Washington Football Team. He and his wife, Robyn, have two children – a son, Harry (6) and a daughter, Rose (4).

sometimes perception becomes reality. perception is that he's just not a HC type personality. has hardly received serious consideration from anyone this year. Andy Reid gets the offensive credit and when your job entails coaching Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, among other stud rb's and speedsters on the outside, you're getting very little credit for me. Hell, its been a story that some of their best plays in post season has been "Kelce, find the holes"... I don't see HC material. I see nice guy in a great situation.

I was a fan of his until the second half Sunday. No matter who actually ran the offense, him or Reid, it's a bad look. On one hand, it makes him look extremely incompetent to not adjust to straight drop zone by running the ball more. And on the other hand, he's a title-holder that doesn't do much else except watch film and hold a copy of Reid's call sheet.

Eric Bieniemy needs to go be an OC for another team. The Andy Reid line of OCs who have become head coaches isn’t a great list except for Doug Pederson and he’s lost some shine himself. If EB goes to another team and wins, he should have his choice of jobs. That being said, maybe he is just waiting for Andy Reid to retire and thinks he will be next in line to be coach at KC.

In all honesty, I don’t really want an Andy Reid OC or a Belicheck coach. None have really worked out.

I see loads of great natural talent on that offense, not great offensive game planning. Not saying he isn't good at what he does, just saying the talent in his system makes it over achieve.

Whoopie Goldberg.

She would fulfill the Rooney Rule.

Saints would be the first team to interview a woman - and a black woman at that.

And, I hear that she's going to be having some free time coming up in the future.
