Coaching Carousel 2026

[Tank]

It seems to me that Harbaugh's firing caught them off guard, and they asked to interview names they saw on Twitter or forums.
I don't think it's a good list of candidates; I think there was little research, little ingenuity.
Saleh lost the locker room with the Jets, and his offensive coordinators were awful. Flores lost the locker room, and the players hate him. Schwarz might be a good coordinator, but little else. Nagy was a disaster with the Bears, even though he could have chosen the QB. Brady's offense doesn't impress me at all. Stefansky couldn't manage a locker room with Odell and Baker. Joseph was a loser with the Broncos. Weaver doesn't tell you anything; his unit is nothing special. McDaniel had a good team, but they were always pretty easy to play against us.
I like Kubiak and Minter; he'd be good with Scheelhase, Shula, or Webb.
I don't like the rest; they don't seem like an improvement or a change from Harbaugh. We need fresh blood, new ideas.

Curious to know who you think would make the list of potential hires better.

Glad Todd got another shot so quickly... and most importantly John didn't take from our pool of hires.

I wonder who will be his DC. Tell me he will bring in Zach Orr.

 

[Simba]

Could ve wrong but would think we have a new coach next week. Round 1 is done Sunday. Dont see why they would need more than a few days to talk to 5 guys one more time.

Depends who they want. If it’s a guy like Saleh, he could still be coaching

Can’t wait for that Malik Nabers trade request in a year

Harbaugh and Monken reuniting in New York.

He might as well take Orr with him too!

Maybe we can arrange a trade for Nabers and Carter for Loop, (sadly Faalele is a FA) Vorhees, Mark Andrews, Roquan if he wants him, Marlon, etc.*


*Disclaimer: Yes, this is indeed sarcasm for those of you who think this is serious.

For those that thought the reporting of Harbaugh refusing to move on from Monken was false…

Think most didn't believe it was Monken he was fighting for lol

Haven’t got it confirmed, but sounds like he wanted to keep Orr, but was willing to budge on him at least. There was no budging on Monken at all.

 

[ravenslord]

5 years 100 mill for Harbaugh. Yikes.

 

[RavensMania]

Confirmed by Schefter..... damn they didn't even let him leave to get interviewed by the Titans or Falcons. Damn, if they wanted him this bad we could have traded him to them sooner!

this would be great news for the Giants, if the contract does get finalized. Harbaugh is a culture builder and the Giants have some talent in the building as well. I'm glad he ended up in the NFC as well.

 

[RavensMania]

Also hearing some of these head coach interviews are also being interviewed for OC / DC also.

 

[RavensMania]

Saleh with the Jets: 20 wins, 36 losses, no winning seasons.

He might be good as a coordinator, but not as a coach

isn't he still under contract with the Niners as DC. Doubt the niners allow him to move into a lateral move.

If Monken is the OC, he ain't afraid to get an absurdly heavy target share to one player. Which would be Nabers.
Guys like Robinson are going to see a usage plummet.

It was a joke

I'm not saying Saleh is the correct choice, but Belichick was 36-44 before he arrived in New England. And he went 5-11 in his first year there.

Not to mention the list of "young blood" coaches who were great as coordinators but failed spectacularly as HCs, including some in this cycle, is a mile long. The whiff rate is a lot longer than the hit rate.
