Mike LaFleur

EDITED LIST OF CURRENT VACANCIES (AND CONFIRMED HIRES):

Tennessee Titans -
New York Giants -
Atlanta Falcons -
Cleveland Browns -
Las Vegas Raiders -
Arizona Cardinals -
You forgot Raheem Morris on the defensive side...
 
This is my suggestion - Brian Flores/ Jesse Minter/Klint Kubiak HC, Stefanski/ Adams - OC, and Brian Flores/Raheem Morris - DC.

Or the janitors at the NFL office, the Patriots, and the Packers will do as well.

Just get this regime outta here ASAP!
 
I still want next HC to come from defensive side and transform this piece of crap. Lamar is too good to need a rocket scientist as an OC. Give him good O line and a competent play caller, then the good D will go a long way in helping him.

If you hire Flores or Minter as HC, you wouldn't be hiring Morris as a DC. You'll probably just have one of their assistants from LAC or MIN coming over to be the DC, with them retaining play-calling duties. I'd imagine Kubiak would be the same.

Do you like Flores?
 
Bruh anyone is an upgrade at this point over Orr. Gannon, Morris, Pete Carroll. I’ll take some 6yo kid playing Madden at this point

Gannon would be on my list and not the other two.

You know who I've been thinking would be a great fit as DC...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................rhymes with Becks Lion
 
Do you like Flores?
As a DC? He'd be at the top of my list. But he's not leaving MIN unless O'Connell gets fired (which isn't happening) or he gets a HC gig.
As a HC? He doesn't move the needle for me. I'd rather keep Harbaugh.

From a practicality standpoint, unless it's like Mike MacDonald (not happening), I have really no interest in a current NFL DC as a new HC for the Ravens.
 
Falcons have put in a request for Klint Kubuiak... Hurry up Biscotti.

We gonna lose out on good candidates because we “wanna do right” with Harbaugh to save his image.

Yep. This org has become a joke lately.
