Where do we want McCarthy coaching rumors? Here?

Or the nice things thread?

Here would do well as it's an "official" thread.

Big Mac being potentially interviewed in TB isn't a nice thing to say type deal.

[pbmax]

Fair point. He could end up coaching in Arizona as well.

[Rutnstrut]

Both TB and Arizona have been tabbed by many as the new bottom of the list places to go coach. If stubby is such a great coach, surely he will have better options.

[pbmax]

Tampa is interesting. Lotta talent. Defense is lost. But that offense should score like gangbusters. If you trust the GM to keep finding players, could be interesting.

But apparently not the Cardinals:

"NFL Network's Jim Trotter reports Mike McCarthy is not interested in the Cardinals' head coaching position."

[pbmax]

The Browns will interview ex-Packers coach Mike McCarthy for their head-coaching vacancy Thursday.
McCarthy has also been linked to the Jets and Bucs but has turned down the Cardinals. Despite wearing out his welcome in Green Bay, McCarthy seems like a good bet to land another head job right away.

Williams informed owner Jimmy Haslam that he would like to know soon if he's getting the job because all seven other teams with vacancies want to interview him, and another four teams have told him they'll fire their coach today if he'll take their jobs.



Best joke of the day.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
McCarthy will talk to the #Browns this week, the #Jets, too, and that might be it. He’ll be picky.

Always suspected RapSheet's inside Packer source was M3's agent.

I guess I'd wait a year for a better opening than NYJ Or Cleveland if I were MM. They're the two teams with bright spots at quarterback but dysfunctional, awful organizations to support them. Gun to my head and having to choose a team this year, you obviously go NYJ. Cleveland is still Cleveland.

Surely Atlanta, Carolina or NYG* next year would be better openings. My gut feeling is Pittsburgh is going to implode enough to move on from whats-his-name and that's where he'd be a great fit and at his happiest.

* Making the assumption that NYG would happily can Shurmur for MM, which I am extremely confident they would if he has a repeat of this year.

We should have a better feel for that soon

If he really wants the job he'll recruit the homeless around the stadium to bend Haslam's ear

[pbmax]

Part of me is thrilled beyond belief.

Report: Hue Jackson candidate for Vikings OC

But Rastak deserves better.

I can confirm that the Bucs are interviewing Eric Bieniemy today (he is also interviewing with the Jets). He took over for Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator in KC this year. Those I've spoken with who know/have worked with him frequently used the word "passion" and "no nonsense" to describe him. Also "tough love." The Bucs are looking for someone who has a straight-forward approach the way Dirk Koetter did.
