Definitive guide to 2013 coaching carousel
And the general manager market could be a whirlwind as well, with six to eight teams believed to be at least contemplating a move at or near the top of their front office flow chart. With so much activity about to take place, here's a team by team breakdown of what we think we know, with a preview look at the names of some potential coaching and general manager candidates that could be in play for those jobs. League general managers, personnel executives, team sources and agents were contacted and interviewed in an attempt to divine all the comings and goings of the next few weeks.
McDaniels is an Ohio native and is said to be eager to erase the blemish of his Broncos firing. But he's also wary of choosing poorly in his second NFL head coaching opportunity,longchamp pas cher 2014, and is hesitant to go anywhere if he doesn't think he has a quarterback he can win with and build around. It is not thought McDaniels has had sufficient time yet to study Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden's game, and if New England makes a deep playoff run, his availability might not jive with Cleveland's timetable.
Beside McDaniels, the remaining buzz on the big name head coaching front centers on Haslam trying to lure Alabama's Nick Saban to town. Saban,escarpin Louboutin pas cher, a former Browns assistant under Belichick, is not thought likely to leave the college game this year, but history tells us he can't be completely ruled out. Like McDaniels, Saban has made it clear to those close to him that he won't go to a team unless he's convinced he has a winning quarterback, and it's not known if he considers Weeden to be a proven commodity at this point of his career.
Lombardi and Saban worked together in Cleveland, but some within the NFL are skeptical that a front office structure that includes Banner, Lombardi and Saban could lead to coexistence and cooperation in terms of final personnel say. The same could be true if McDaniels is the Browns' choice as coach,christian louboutin shoes, with one executive from a competing NFL club saying: "That's a lot of headstrong people in one front office, with Banner, Lombardi and McDaniels working together. I'm not sure why he'd jump at a situation with a convoluted structure like that."
On the coaching front, soon to be ex Eagles coach Andy Reid and Alabama's Nick Saban are two big names being floated,nike requin tn, but both would come at a hefty cost, if they were even interested in the Jaguars. If Jacksonville swung for the fences and missed, Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is a young head coaching candidate who has generated strong reviews for his work the past two seasons with both Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning. Getting the quarterback position fixed in Jacksonville is obviously a top priority, with Blaine Gabbert showing only flashes of production in his first two NFL seasons.
Philadelphia The end of the team's long and eventful Andy Reid coaching era has finally arrived, and the first name on everyone's short list of possible replacements in Philadelphia seems to be Oregon's Chip Kelly. But is the interest mutual? As mentioned above,Louboutin soldes, league sources say Kelly is looking for near complete control when it comes to personnel decision making power, and that doesn't appear to be available in the Eagles' organization,jordan shoes for women, where general manager Howie Roseman is expected to be in charge of the roster in the post Reid era.
If Kelly doesn't materialize in green, some within the league expect Lurie to take a page out of his past and try to identify the next Andy Reid: A young position coach or coordinator with obvious upside potential. Denver's McCoy, Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter or Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell might make the radar screen in Philly. And don't overlook one of the league's better special teams coaches, like San Francisco's Brad Seely, Dallas' Joe DeCamillis, San Diego's Rich Bisaccia or Atlanta's Keith Armstrong. Remember, the Eagles had John Harbaugh on their staff for years, and the former Philly special teams coach has led the Ravens to five playoff berths in his first five years on the job.
But who will lead it? Reid,chaussure tn, with his Southern Californian roots, would seem a logical alternative in the coaching search, but his price tag might get in the way. League sources don't expect the Spanos family to pay the $6 to $7 million annual salary that Reid can command. Colts interim head coach Bruce Arians and the Patriots' McDaniels are two names mentioned in connection with the Chargers job, and both make sense from the standpoint that job No. 1 in San Diego this offseason is to revive quarterback Philip Rivers' flagging fortunes.
To replace Smith, the Chargers are expected to go through the mechanics of a search and interview process, but the odds on favorites to lead the club's personnel decision making are the tandem of current San Diego director of player personnel Jimmy Raye, and the team's current director of college scouting John Spanos. Maybe the Chargers name them co GMs, or give them different titles. But in some fashion, league sources believe Raye and Spanos will be calling the shots on the football side of the front office.
The far easier and perhaps more likely scenario for the Bidwill family would be to elevate a couple of promising in house candidates to the organization's top two jobs. Defensive coordinator Ray Horton is seen as a strong possibility to succeed Whisenhunt, and vice president/player personnel Steve Keim is one of the league's most well respected GMs in waiting. Keim will probably have other opportunities to elicit a job offer this offseason, but if he wants to stay with the Cardinals, Graves' job is probably his for the taking
Kansas City The general consensus among the league sources I interviewed was that the high level of fan unrest in Kansas City would probably lead Chiefs owner Clark Hunt to make the personally difficult decision to replace general manager Scott Pioli, and not just head coach Romeo Crennel. Hunt and Pioli remain close,air jordan 3, so there's a chance Pioli returns, especially if there's a head coach hire that Pioli can sell to Hunt as the potential difference maker. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is a name long linked to Pioli dating from their days together in Cleveland,michael jordan shoes, and he always surfaces as a possible Pioli hire.
Dallas It has been reported that Jason Garrett's job is safe for 2013, and Jerry Jones himself echoed that he's "real pleased'' with Garrett's work in getting the Cowboys to Sunday's winner take all NFC East title showdown in Washington. But what if Dallas goes belly up for the second year in a row in that type of setting, and closes out the season at 8 8 and in third place in the division? That's why I think there's still plenty at stake on Sunday when it comes to Garrett's status for 2013. Especially since Sean Payton has still not signed a contract extension in New Orleans.
"The guys with college backgrounds, they know how to build a team through the draft,'' said one NFL club executive. "You never talk about building a team through free agency,sac voyage longchamp, it's always the draft. But it's kind of a unique skill set, running a draft. Everyone thinks they can do it until they try it. But it's almost like being a GM in some ways. And the draft is the most important component of a GM's job description. The teams that always win the Steelers,air jordan 7, the Giants, the Packers, the Ravens they always have pretty good drafts.''
"More than ever,besace longchamp, it's really important to identify guys who have a full understanding of personnel, across the board,'' one current NFL general manager said. "Not just an offensive background guy, or a defensive background guy, but someone who has had experience managing the whole room, with guys from every part of your depth chart. They've dealt with players of every type already, and there's not as much transition to running their own show. And it's also very important now to have the right fit between a head coach and the GM, where you're on same page personnel wise. Those guys just have a broader scope of experience with seeing the big picture.''????????
