Coaching Carousel 2024



i really thought this was a done deal when they brought BB back for a 2nd interview lol

Yeah this one surprised me too. Hopefully it’s nothing and nothing comes of it. Not really sure Falcons are a great destination either. I’m not too impressed by their roster
 
The top candidates left include...

Bill Belichick
Jim Harbaugh
Mike Vrabel
Dan Quinn
Ben Johnson
Mike Macdonald
Raheem Morris
Aaron Glenn
Bobby Slowik
Ejiro Evero

All of those have either (a) been a head coach already or (b) been reported to have interviewed with at least 3 of the remaining teams. A bunch of guys with 2 interviews (including Monken and Weaver) as well.
 
Only 5 more openings, and where it sounds like it's going right now...

Chargers - Jim Harbaugh
Commanders - Ben Johnson
Falcons - Bill Belichick (although they seem to be continuing to consider other options)
Panthers - ???
Seahawks - ???

So 2 left to worry about?

I’m worried about the Seahawks. After MacDonald went 3-0 against the Shanahan offense… it makes too much sense to grab MacDonald if I was them.

Seemingly yes. Harbaugh sticking at Michigan and Belichick not getting the Falcons job would throw a wrench in that obviously. Still sounds like Bill is the favorite despite the other 2nd interviews though.

Carolina seems to want Ben Johnson but it looks like Washington wants him more. They're almost surely going offensive at this point regardless but I guess there have been bigger surprises.

Seattle seems like the wild card right now. Dan Quinn has been the rumored favorite but as you alluded to, Macdonald would be a good fit there.

Find it hard to believe Vrabel doesn't get an offer from someone

I think we're going to end up keeping Macdonald if the remaining openings go the way I think. I still like Jim to go to Atlanta so we get another Harbaugh Bowl in the future but all signs point to Jim going to the Chargers, Belichick in Atlanta.

Chargers - Jim Harbaugh
Commanders - Ben Johnson
Falcons - Bill Belichick
Panthers - Dave Canal
Seahawks - Dan Quinn

I could see Macdonald ending up in Seattle because he knows how to beat Shanahan schemed offenses. Still agree Quinn is the favoirte.
 
Seems like Carolina and Washington are waiting for Ben Johnson. Washington is expected to lock him up. Carolina supposedly really likes Canales as the alternate option.

Rumors of Quinn with Chip Kelly as OC in Seattle.

could we actually luck out and have him for an encore season.

Please Belichick, go to Atlanta. You've owed them ever since 28-3

Yep... like I thought. We keeping Macdonald somehow. That is a huge win by itself even before Sunday or when we win the Super Bowl.

Chip Kelly coming back to the NFL is well interesting, he might be better as just an OC than a Head Coach but we'll see.

Anything that keeps Mike Mac on the ravens for another year is fine by me lol
