Passed up for the HC; odds are he wants out.

I strongly believe he's the Flowers first choice. THey know each other, he's been a DC for two teams, and Flower complimented the heck out of him after the Carolina game.

WILDE wants this guy
TAUSCH wants JIMMY


And Wilde also noted, Carolina owns his rights, but they are shy draft picks so it's likely they would try to get a draft pick to let him walk. Odds are he's not free

Raheem Morris getting Atlanta HC job means DC job with Rams is open. If Carolina lets him leave, Evero might want to go back there.

Rahim Morris in Atlanta

Kind of funny that a team that has never won a Super Bowl told Bill Belichick "Sorry, you didn't get the job'"

[call_me_ishmael]

I don't think Belichick is gonna get another job. He's 72 or smething like that. Who's starting a rebuilding project with an old man? I'll abstain from the obvious politcal jokes here so go ahead and make one or two up and laugh in your head. But seriously, I get it. I am going to have a team of 22-27 year olds - they'd much rather have a 35-45 year old coach than a grandparent.

I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it had to do with how much control Belicheat wanted in the organization.

I'd be giddy with either one, but as stated....Carolina isn't letting him go for a lateral move.

Rumors are Ben Johnson goes to the Commanders and Dan Quinn to the Seahawks.

Also: heard Carroll was given the choice to keep his job but hire new assistant coaches or else, and he opted to quit. That's gonna win you some points for loyalty. My guess is he could get another HC gig so SEA appointed him to his new role.

: A busy 48 hours ahead for #Lions OC Ben Johnson and #Ravens DC Mike Macdonald, who are scheduled to interview for both remaining head coaching vacancies.

Because of the Championship Sunday results, the #Commanders and #Seahawks can hire Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Anthony Weaver and Mike Macdonald is they so choose.

A coaching carousel set to end before the Super Bowl.

What happens with Mike MacDonald in Baltimore could impact Packers if they plan to interview Anthony Weaver or Chris Hewitt.

#Lions OC Ben Johnson informed the #Seahawks and #Commanders that he’s staying in Detroit, per sources.

Johnson is still only 37 and will be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. But first, he wants to take another shot at bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Detroit.

[call_me_ishmael]

That one is surprising. I would think Seattle would be a pretty good job. Although - won't they go up for sale due to Paul Allen's will or something like that? In that case, maybe not.

Ben Johnson was not the head-coaching lock that people thought and his asking price spooked some teams, per sources.

[Teamcheez1]

Rumor has it that Johnson wanted $15M a year to be a head coach. No wonder teams moved off of him.

Seahawks Mike McDonald

[RashanGary]

I actually think the Seahawks are a good job. Ted Thompson put his fingerprint on the scouting staff and they seem to always find good talent. They need a QB, but there are ways.
