2011 COACHING PREDICTIONS....HIRES AND FIRES

[pbmax]

Jim harbaugh? John would be hard to get from Baltimore.

Yes, you are correct. I still have a block about Jim Harbaugh apparently.

[VegasPackFan]

Dont forget MIAMI - I think they will make a change too.

Fischer in TN is caught up in a power struggle and might go. He doesnt want anything to do with VY and the owner is still in love with his QB. If he goes, someone will be getting a great coach because he will be snatched up quick, and TN will begin a decline.

Harbaugh is maybe the most interesting candidate. He may have his choice of a few opportunities in the NFL and Michigan.

[MadtownPacker]

I know that the nfl is a win now league but isn't it crazy how much turnover there is in coaching? Are all these guys this incompetant? I doubt that. I would think having some consistency would be important.

Whats up man!! Long time no see.

The coaches are mostly OK, it is the halfass fans that demand blood if victory is not given.


queens and cowgurls are keeping their interim HCs, SF is gonna snag Fisher.

[ND72]

Espn this morning said they have rumors of up to 14 teams could make changes, Denver, Dallas, minny, and SF included....10 more teams...wow

[ND72]

Here is another name I have heard rumors of on a few websites....mike Sherman. Guy has done a nice job at A&M. I said after he left though that I thought he would be a great college coach.

[vince]

I think Sherman will get a shot somewhere in the next couple years. He's a good coach, just keep him away from the combine and draft.

[Charles Woodson]

Frazier gets the vikings job

supposedly tom cable is out as Oaklands coach, shocking

[Bretsky]

Brian Billick has to get one of these jobs, right ?

Wouldn't surprise me if Holmy ends up as the Cleveland coach either

[Guiness]

Think Holmgren wants to coach again? Why did he leave Seattle? Seems like he's pretty much doing the same job in Cleveland as he had in Seattle.

[pbmax]

Well, Frazier and Garrett locked up two of the jobs. So I don't think there will be quite as many as some expect.

They wanted him gone as coach and when he floated kicking himself upstairs, there was a lot of resistance.

UNLESS he steals the Vikings gig.

I'd really like to see Harbaugh at UofM to rebuild that mess.

PLEASE somebody hire Gruden just to get that fucker off MNF and make it more tolerable.

There is going to be at least one surprise hire going to a young inexperienced head coach.

The Coughlin seat was never as warm as people thought. He just stole a Superbowl Victory two or so seasons ago. Next year, if there is one, it will be a LOT warmer.

Jeff Fisher will likely move. San Fran?

WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR SPECIAL TEAMS COACH AND FILL THE OFFENSIVE LINE COACH VACANCY.

[Guiness]

I didn't know he got forced out, I thought he left more or less voluntarily. Did they just not renew his contract?

I agree that Sherman will show up in the league again. He had too good W/L record to not be given another shot - as mentioned, just need to keep him away from player personnel.

He was fired as GM in Seattle.

Sheep is right, he had his GM authority stripped the same year Harlan hired Thompson from them.

Tim Ruskell was brought in over Holmgren. Tension inevitably flared when the ship began to sink after their Super Bowl appearance. The thinking was Ruskell and others wanted a different coach and made that clear. Holmgren could not get a commitment from them for a new contract as coach and he coached out the last year of his deal. They also announced Mora as the head coach in waiting. So fired might not be the right term, but eagerly allowed to leave might cover it.

He was willing to move upstairs but they wouldn't have him. Ruskell got one year with Mora and they stunk. Some admin guy named Tim Lewieke ended up with the juice and canned both Ruskell and Mora. Holmgren publicly offered to consider coming back but that went nowhere and he went to Cleveland. Lewieke eventually brought in Pete Carroll and John Schneider.
