BB might be okay waiting a year for Cowboys or Eagles to open up (or Bills if Buffalo is smart). Atlanta has some talent but a team that will likely be starting Justin Fields at QB does fill me with “contender” vibes.

Isn't Dan Quinn getting a 2nd interview with them (if he hasn't already)?

Crush it Dan. Don't leave the building until they hand you a pen.
He is not going to take anything other than a HC job. He is probably better off just waiting because the available jobs after next year could be very interesting.

So I sort of disagree to a certain extent. I think if you're a quality, younger offensive coordinator in the NFL, and your team can score points, you can pretty much write your ticket to getting a HC job within 2-3 years. There's 8 HC vacancies right now, and the only two defensive guys who got gigs were guys that were already a part of those teams (Pierce and Mayo). Three are offensive guys, and at least one more for sure will be, and possibly all of them.
Guys like Belichick and Vrabel are quite possibly not going to get HC offers in a league where 25% of the teams were replacing their coach. That sort of sends a message to teams about how they value defense in the NFL at the moment.
I don't think MM should go to college because I think whatever HC gig he could get in college is frankly a step down from being a DC in the NFL. He's not getting the Michigan job (nor would I expect them to offer it to him), and so he'd end up at a mid-tier D1 program in a Power 4 conference. Probably more $ for him, but an NFL DC job is a better gig.
There's plenty of coaches who were "rising stars" who never got HC offers and now seemingly have a long way to go to get them. Wink was a HC candidate like 3 years ago. Bienemy was the "sure thing" HC candidate and now he's about to maybe be an OC on his third team in three years, and he's an offensive guy. It's brutally hard to be a DC in this league and get serious consideration for HC jobs right now. And that's actually made worse by how long your team lasts in the playoffs. Teams don't want to wait 3-4 weeks or longer to hire HC's.

Panther's hiring Canales as HC. So does that leave Seattle and Washington?
Les Snead spent like 5 minutes of his season ending presser unprompted talking about what a great head coach morris would be…
Not surprised he got a job

Correct. Washington seems to be in on Lions OC Ben Johnson, and it feels as if Seattle is down to Dan Quinn or Macdonald, whoever they feel is the best choice.

Rooting for Dan Quinn, lol
and for washington to land Ben Johnson, because Macdonald is option #2

So Adam Schefter says both the Seahawks and Commanders don't plan on hiring anyone until after the Championship Games. Obviously if the 49ers win, Ben Johnson becomes available immediately and will likely be named Head Coach of the Commanders on Monday. This also makes me think that if Seattle is waiting until next week, that Macdonald is number one for them over Quinn. They can just hire Quinn now, no wait needed. Only need to wait for Macdonald, and when we win, will the Seahawks wait until after the Super Bowl?
