Coaching Carousel 2026

[Davesta]

McDaniels becoming available is at the top of my list right now.

Randomly saw this post, said F it..lemme asked ChatGPT which coaches would match Lamar's energy...

"Capricorn energy pairs best with leaders who are either grounding, intuitive, or strategically empowering—not erratic or ego-driven.
Best Zodiac Energy Matches for Lamar Jackson" :

1. Mike McDaniel (Pisces)
Best overall match​

- Why it works: Pisces complements Capricorn beautifully.
- McDaniel brings creativity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability, while Lamar supplies discipline and execution.
- Pisces leaders tend to build systems around their star, not fight them.
- This pairing supports Lamar’s instinctual playstyle without trying to control it.
Energy dynamic: Visionary coach + legacy-driven QB = trust-based dominance

2. Klint Kubiak (Aquarius–Pisces cusp, depending on source)
Quietly strong match​

- Aquarius energy can clash with Capricorns if rigid, but Kubiak’s style is more structured and system-oriented.
- If he leans more Pisces (flow, intuition), it helps Lamar thrive.
- Less ego, more framework—Capricorns like that.
Energy dynamic: System builder who lets the Capricorn lead within it

3. Chris Shula (Leo)
High risk, high reward​

- Leo brings confidence, boldness, and presence.
- This can empower a Capricorn QB if the coach doesn’t try to dominate the spotlight.
- Works only if Leo energy is supportive, not performative.
Energy dynamic: Can elevate Lamar—or clash if egos collide

I mean roster construction is an issue. We're just going to find out how much influence Harbaugh had over the roster.
I think you could make an easy argument that this franchise, regardless of who's direction it is, values rushing offense and rushing defense more than it values passing offense and passing defense. We make huge investments in off-ball LBs that don't pressure the QB. We pay aging TEs. We make huge investments in RBs and Olineman that can run block but aren't great in pass protection.

Meanwhile until recently we never cared at all about receivers, we haven't used any FA capital on pass rushers, we value run-stopping DTs instead of pass rushers, and we still struggle in pass protection. On top of designing an offense that's clearly run-heavy in a league that's pass-heavy.

If that's an EDC/organizational plan that continues, you will not see significant changes in W/L record regardless of who the HC is. Because the philosophy won't change.

The only actual question is what impact John had on personnel decisions, and the overall philosophy of how to build a winning team. If EDC was effectively building a team in John's image, we'll see differences. If EDC actually believes what he's done the last like 5 years is the best way to build a winning football team, nothing will change.

This still wont prove if john had influence on roster moves. Again, we drafted ojabo, mike green, and oweh in 1st 2nds.. guys we were suppose to be good pass rushers..dont forget jmad and travis jones.. we grabbed jones, clowney and van noy.. how does that seem like he doesnt invest in pass rush? We pay aging tight ends? Andrews only 30 and its still up in the air with likely. we fucked up with guards but team maybe thought we had some good pieces in rr, stanely and tyler. I feel like he couldve done better with oline but other than me i dnt think anyone thought this oline would be so ass lol.

also, now that he sees how things can be done differently, he can change up his whole philosophy.. i mean thats what people smart people do right? they get paid millions for it and we dont so id assume theyre smarter than us and can sit back and realize where they went wrong at to make changes. I do think harbaugh had all the input on coach hiring though lol. What im trying to say is that EDC 1000% tried. Last few years we had a great roster and nobody can deny that. Shit just didnt work out for us. coaching and player errors just wouldnt allow us to get over the hump

 

[rossihunter2]

starting to see the lamar character assassinations coming out again

just a reminder, yet again, Lamar doesn't have an agent, Harbs does

the briefs are clearly trying to paint Harbs in a certain way and Lamar's catching strays from those briefs

 

[JO_75]

Harbaugh and Monken with Tua would be wild lol. I know he’s on his way out too but I like the head canon

Miami or anywhere else would be better than the Giants. Harbaugh and Monken would get eaten alive by the New York media the second Skattebo only got 3 carries the entire second half.

Harbaugh doesn't care about the media. That won't influence his decision. He is very much a "they will be quiet when we win" kind of guy.

Madbuike and Jones were mid round picks. We don't get to determine whether that's an "investment" based on how good they are. We've criticized other positions, like WR, for not having used more premium picks on them. Why would that not apply to the Dline as well?
Jones, Clowney and Van Noy were super cheap. That's the point. You can buy a 26 year old pass rusher rather than a 28 year old MLB.

If your "tries" at premium positions are only draft picks, that's not good enough. You should spend more "tries" in FA, using more valuable assets (like $ or trades) at those positions, rather than spending your $ on Safeties, ILB, and RBs.

While I appreciate finding Jones and Mads, the Ravens have only used two top 100 picks on interior pass rushers in the last six drafts. And both were third rounders. And the biggest FA investment was likely Michael Pierce.
In the same timeframe, they've taken two Safeties, two ILBs and a RB. While only taking one Corner.
And yes, they've whiffed on several premium picks on pass rushers, that they then replaced with cheap veterans, rather than significantly financial investments.

Sold, get Logic out of Florida and bring him home

you can only pay for those guys if they're available
typically 26 year old pass rushers worth paying don't make it to free agency

Oweh, Ojabo, Green. That would be three in the last 5 drafts. One of those, Green, started showing signs of development as well and Oweh wasn't that bad.

Please get Mike McDaniel here in some capacity

if he's here he better figure out how to use Henry.

Define "worth paying". Guys like Dre'Mont Jones and slightly above level are available all the time. You may have to overpay because it's FA, but that's true of every FA you've signed regardless of position. Largely true in the trade market also.

Just pointing out the obvious, which is that if you put all of your eggs for pass rush in the draft market, this is kind of what it looks like. Obviously depth becomes nearly impossible. And pass rush is probably the group you want to be deepest in.

Just cause they are mid rnd picks, dnt mean they aren't investments though. Its not like we have myles garret or quentin nelson type guys around when we pick. Last year, harmon and all the interior guys were gone.. idk about oline though but id assume it wasnt many they had ranked high available neither.. i feel like edc has done a great job in the situations he was given and what was available to him……: besides hiring orr, that was some wild shit

 

[rmcjacket23]

They're not interior pass rushers. They're edge players. We've made investments at Edge through the draft that haven't panned out, and we "solved" that by recycling cheap vets on short term deals.

oh, thought you were indicating edge rushers in the first couple rounds. My bad I completely misread it.

OK does that apply to all positions? Because the fanbase, including many on here, killed the FO for not making investments at WR, even though we took a ton of 3rd and 4th rounders for the longest time. You don't get to pick and choose what's considered an "Investment" based on how well the player performs.

As is the case for every position and every team, the likelihood of success of the player being drafted is a downward trajectory arrow from the first round to each subsequent round.

In my opinion, your "premium picks", which I agree is inherently subjective, but I classify as somewhere around the top 100, should be spent on players who boost pass offense or pass defense materially. If you're investing more premium picks (or the same number) at ILB and RB than you are at Corner or interior Pass Rusher, that's no bueno. IF you're going to take a player high at a non-premium position, they better be at the level of Kyle Hamilton, and not at the level of Patrick Queen.

Ok that's actually a really fun angle to consider.

 

[Davesta]

Straight from Lamar’s camp.

That Monken story is BS. Another one of Harb’s PR move after throwing Monken under the bus in-season.
