Pederson out at Philly... https://www.espn.com/blog/philadelphia-eagles/post/_/id/30952/what-doug-pederson-firing-means-for-philadelphia-eagles-carson-wentz

Got the dreaded owner endorsement days ago. Rumors are that Wentz wanted out because of Pederson and that Iggles are apparently talking to Lincoln Riley.

All the latest here... https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-head-coach-tracker-latest-news-rumors-vacancies-2021/

I skimmed the article and not seeing any big-surprise names other than Riley's above.

Unsympathetic

Only point against Lynn's removal is his amazing [unexpected, nearly implausible] coach-up of Herbert. He does deserve credit for eliminating Herbert question marks that showed every yr at Oregon. Going to have to ensure they select a coach who's also good for their QB next season.. lack of continuity is a consideration/expectation.

Have any of the openings been filled?

Houston Texans hire Nick Caserio

Longtime Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio has been hired as the new general manager of the Houston Texans. Caserio was with the Patriots for 20 years, which included six Super Bowl victories and nine appearances.

Of course, DeShaun Watson is pissed because he wasn't consulted on who the new GM of the DATs would be.

What I don't understand is why he thinks the team is obligated to consult him? Sure, he is their primary player, but nothing in any contract anywhere gives him say so over the choice of a position on that team wherein he would have little if any interaction. Its not like the HC. Now, I understand that he does have a right to bitch about O'Brien who traded Hopkins away...but Caserio has been a respected NFL player personnel man for like 4 times longer than Watson has even been in the league. The only thing I can envision is that Watson wanted to demand that the team hire a black man for the job. Sorry....but Caserio seems to me that he would be one of the Top 5 guys to be considered by any team.

Here are all the guys that the Texans did interview:

Matt Bazirgan, Texans director of player personnel -- completed (more)
Nick Caserio, Patriots director of player personnel -- hired (more)
Scott Cohen, Ravens director of football research -- requested
Omar Khan, Steelers VP of football and business administration -- completed
Trent Kirchner, Seahawks VP of player personnel -- completed (per team)
Louis Riddick, ESPN analyst and former Eagles director of pro personnel -- completed (more)

As is Brian Daboll.....Buffalo OC (and didn't he do that here, and we hated him?)

Wasn't he part of the Derek Anderson 10-6 season?

No, I don't think so. He is the HC of the Carolina Panthers. As far as I can tell, they are looking for a GM, not an HC.

Not sure. I thought he was here after that.

In checking....no, he was here after that. in 2007 he was with the Jets....in 2009 and 2010 the Browns were 5-11 both years. :

Wide receivers coach (2002–2006)
New York Jets (2007–2008)
Quarterbacks coach
Cleveland Browns (2009–2010)
Offensive coordinator

Amen, brother...

God... I can still remember hearing we'd signed Delhomme and my 1st thought, "We couldn't find a vet that was more shot?"

Thank you, Baker, thank you.

Whatever happened to that bozo who was in love with Hogan? Telling us all for weeks that Hogan was the 2nd coming of Aaron Rodgers.

He is talking about Poetic G.

And I don't know what happened to him......he did put like a single post on here a few days ago. Perhaps he found a more delusion tolerant forum to participate in.

Man, I completely forgot about that...

It must have got kicked out of my memory bank by the 25 page Draft Saquon Barkley! thread that will forever be a classic on here.
