NFL 2015 NFL Coach and GM Transitions

[Dagless]

A thread to guess, protest, gloat about the soon-to-be coaching turnstile that is the NFL Boys Club.

Head Coaches - Elaborations coming soon
Pretty Much Gone:
Rex Ryan
Jim Harbaugh

On The Hotseat:
Mike Smith

Surprise:
Tom Coughlin

 

[LeverPuller]

No mention of the Raiders situation?

 

[Dagless]

Had to rush out. Soon soon...

 

[LeverPuller]

Other hotseats:
Trestman
Philbin
Possibly Payton

 

[Exe Gesis]

Jay Gruden
Ron Rivera

 

[bangbang]

Think someone has to be made a scapegoat of the Chicago situation. Lovie smith sacked after a 10-6 season remember. Bet they'd love that now. Is it trestman or emery?

Surely they give jay gruden another year, the recurring theme of rg3 and coaches not wanting him. The redskins have put both shannahan and gruden in crap situations throwing the whole franchise out for griffin with those picks which at this point definantly hasn't worked out

How long can Smith stay given he has had a fair chance without success.

Shanahan nearly killed him in the end and maybe Gruden can simplify things for him. Trestman was a bit of a strange choice to start with.

Smith has to go ...surely, div title or not.

Where will Harbaugh go? Oakland or Jets?

 

[royals1922]

Given the relative success of Kelly at Philly, etc maybe one or two coaches will be taken from college ranks, if they wish to leave their sinecures

Shanny saw RG3 for what he was I think you mean.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

No mention of the Raiders situation?

Raiders already sacked their head coach.

As much as I would like Harbaugh to come to the Jets, the 49ers would start the auction at the first round pick and see if they could move up. There's no way I want to give up what shapes up to be a top five pick in the draft for Harbaugh. I'd rather give a young, hungry HC the opportunity to make his mark.

There is no way that anyone offers a first or the 49ers expect one.

They'll take anything methinks

 

[Dixie Flatline]

GG - I wonder if we can extend this thread to include GMs? John Idzik seems to have a tenuous grip on his position as the Jets' GM (a lot of Jets fans dislike him primarily due to the fact that in the richest wide receiver class in a long time, he's drafted precisely no wide receivers who have played a down for the Jets and then rushed through a trade for Harvin when it was clear that Decker and a bunch of scrubs wasn't going to cut it). Surely if Coughlin leaves New York, Reese will follow him out the door, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears clean house by firing Trestman and Emery simultaneously.

Will edit OP

 

[LeverPuller]

Raiders already sacked their head coach.

Yeah but will Sparano get another crack?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Mike Singletary is apparently in the mix to get a head coach role in 2015. Who knows? Perhaps he goes to the Raiders.

Other hotseats:
Trestman
Philbin
Possibly Payton

Payton will sack Rob Ryan to save his own skin. Payton will rely on his reputation as an offence-minded coach to skate through for at least another season. Next season could be the first season in a long time that neither Rex nor Rob have a job in the NFL.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Matt Williamson on the ESPN Football Today podcast floated the idea of Jim Harbaugh going to the Dolphins. He argues that the Dolphins have under-achieved this season and that Philbin, who kept his job after BullyGate, may be fired.

 

[larkis]

Can't see Philbin gone, specially due to the development of Tannehill.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Can't see Philbin gone, specially due to the development of Tannehill.

Bill Barnwell wrote about Tannehill's development as a QB. He sees that Tannehill has stalled; in particular, Barnwell thinks that Tannehill struggles to connect on deep passes.
