    At least the guy you may be thinking of WAS a GM.

    Hue Jackson just plays one while he is coaching. He got the Raiders to trade for Carson Palmer and he just helped force the previous GM out in Cleveland.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Sounds like Tampa Bay is sticking with Drk Koetter.

    Reports are that Fox and Pagano are gone.

    Reports that Oakland will dump Del Rio for Jon Gruden if Gruden wants it.

    Maybe Gruden saw the writing on the wall for MNF. ESPN and other cable channels will be going down hard in the next few years.

    Yep. Agreed. Pretty wild to see someone give up a cozy, high paying gig like that for a grinding HC position, but I think you're absolutely right that ESPN is getting hit hard and big salaries like Gruden's are going to go away.

    Caldwell is out.

    McGinn wants to remind everyone that McCarthy is in charge from May until the end of the season.

    #Bears GM Ryan Pace will lead the search for the replacement for John Fox. They’ll look at offensive minds to work with promising QB Mitch Trubisky, while defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could get a look as well.

    Bears are setting up an interview with Eagles QB coach John DeFilippo for later this week, sources tell me and @RapSheet. His work with Carson Wentz has made him a legit candidate.

    #Broncos GM John Elway has told coach Vance Joseph he’s back for 2018, as expected. Expect staff changes.

    Giants and Colts have requested interviews with Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, sources say. Add that to @RapSheet saying the Lions have asked to talk to him.

    Word of caution on Jon Gruden: Last year in January, Gruden was on a private plane with #Colts owner Jim Irsay, Peyton Manning and Gruden, as Indy was trying to hire a new coach/GM combination. It did not come to fruition. Will this be different for the #Raiders?
