Which one??? The Bears or the Jets? Or both, more likely.

Ben Johnson took a shot a LaFleur..

“I wanted to stay in this division,” Johnson said during his introductory news conference on Wednesday. “I know this is the toughest division of football right now. There’s three teams that made the playoffs this year.

“I’ve got tremendous amount of respect for the coaches and the players in this league having competed against them for the last six years. (Lions coach) Dan Campbell, (Vikings coach) Kevin O’Connell, talking about two guys that are up for coach the year awards as the season ends here.”

And then, in what will be a crowd-pleaser of a line, he added: “And, to be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.”

Cowboys reportedly closing in on deal to make current OC Brian Schottenheimer (son of Marty) the new HC. This will be met with a yawn by a lot of people. Schott had never been a head coach and did not call plays for the Cowboys.

While the Cowboys have reportedly spent much of the past two days in conversations with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, there is another name that has emerged in their head-coach search.

According to a high-ranking executive in the league, the Cowboys are interested in Packers special teams coordinator and former Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. Neither the Cowboys nor the Packers have responded to inquiries whether Dallas has sought or received permission from Green Bay to interview Bisaccia, who’s entering the final year of his contract in Green Bay.

Josina Anderson reported Thursday that the Cowboys have had informal conversations with at least one other prospect not named Deion Sanders. There is reason to believe that individual is Bisaccia, who led the Raiders to the playoffs in 2021, going 7-5 as the Las Vegas interim head coach following the resignation of Jon Gruden.

Among several NFL stops over a long and distinguished career, Bisaccia served in Dallas as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator from 2013-17 before he joined the Raiders.

No great loss.
Our special teams haven’t exactly been lighting it up.

Looks like Saleh going back to SF as DC. Saleh canceled his flight to Jacksonville late Thursday for a second interview scheduled for Friday.

SF DC is a better job than Jacksonville HC. Smart move for him.

Per ESPN, Pistol Pete Carroll to Oakland, err, Vegas.

Cowboys hire OC Brian Schottenheimer as HC.

Pete Carroll coming back? That's a head scratcher for me.

[George Cumby]

Pete Carroll coming back? That's a head scratcher for me.

And to the Raiders? Sheesh.

[ThunderDan]

And to the Raiders? Sheesh.

They probably know they have a couple of years of pain ahead. Why not let Carroll get them through them?

Try to get a QB developed and then pass it off in a couple of years to the next hot coordinator.
