  • Add Mike Vrabel to the list, the most surprising so far probably:

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39272784/sources-titans-fire-coach-mike-vrabel-6-seasons

    Not sure I get it, I think the titans were just a victim of aging stars that aren't really stars anymore - they need to enter rebuild mode, guess they want a new coach to lead the way through that.

    Personally, I think the Jaguars coach has earned it too.

    Pederson is so insanely stubborn with Press Taylor for some reason, maybe they have a secret relationship or something. That's his biggest problem as a coach...living and dying by a terrible offensive playcaller for no apparent reason.

    the play calling killed their chances towards the end of the game. Lawerence is not over rated ! only a kook would think that.

  • Add another one to the list, surprising- since he recently said he was going to continue to coach...  Pete Carroll of the Seahawks is resigning\ being promoted to the front office.

    That will last for about 15 minutes...

    Not surprised, given his age, but yet I hadn't heard any rumblings that he was on the verge of retiring.

    Going to be interesting to see who gets that gig. One helluva run he had down there.

    Oregon's Dan Lanning and Clemson's Dabo Swinney are two possibilities. 

    I don't see Alabama fading into mediocrity anytime soon.  

  • End of an era, it’s still possible belichik won’t be the patriots coach next season too - I gotta think they are thinking pretty hard about Vrabel - maybe wanting to test the trade market though.

    Schools like Alabama and Ohio State recruit themselves.  Regardless of who the coach is...  Any four star recruit with NFL ambitions is (usually) going to want to play there. They have the luxury of turning away top tier talent. Look no farther than Joe Burrow, who was riding the bench at Ohio State, transferred and won a National Championship at LSU.

    Hoodie now heading south? To Atlanta next year?  If Vrabel doesn't get the Patriots job, he's going to be a head coach somewhere this coming season.

    Like I said before, the last thing Ryan Day at Ohio State needs is an unemployed Mike Vrabel for the next year or so.

    Does anyone think that Bill Belichik is now a different coach than he ever was?  For spite he held a player out of the super bowl and subsequently lost the game.  He cut Bernie Kosar to put in Todd Philcox.  He's a pig-headed a-hole.  But he's got a good mind for the defensive side of the ball.  The trouble is, he's too huge in stature to be anything but a HC.

    At the end of the day, he's 71 years old. 

    He's a short-term rental at this point. The only way I'm hiring him is if my team was a ready-made Super Bowl contender missing a good head coach. Can't think of many really good mid 70s NFL head coaches.

    ...and does he come as a package deal with the two other Belichick Patriots coaches also?  (Steve & Brian)

    Could be called a poor coaching decision.

    Dwayne Haskins threw for 4831 yards, 50 touchdowns vs 8 interceptions in 2018.

    Justin Fields threw for 41 touchdowns vs 3 interceptions in 2019, and ran for nearly 500 yards with another 10 touchdowns. 

    It sucks Ohio State missed out on Burrow's fantastic senior year, but it was the only really good season he had in college football, while Haskins and Fields did the above as a sophomores. 

    Hoorta's got an excellent point.

    I understand.  It could still be called a poor coaching decision.  It's not Burrows fault he didn't play those other years.  If he had, could his numbers have been similar or better?  Based on what has happened at the NFL level, it fair to speculate he would have played as well or better .

  • Quite certain, won't see another coaching purge like the present.
