If Carroll will have any real power going forward, pretty sure Harbaugh won't be on their list.

your new Seattle Seahawks head coach, Russell Wilson

Kind of an odd move if they keep the pick and draft Williams. Conventional wisdom is just to start fresh, but I'm not sure there's too many exciting coaching names out there right now. 

As suspected, Pete Carroll no longer coaching was not really mutual even if they were nice enough to use the word.

Quote

In an emotional farewell news conference Wednesday, Carroll, reading from a prepared statement, said he and ownership have "mutually agreed to set a new course." However, he said he "competed pretty hard" to remain Seattle's coach and that he ultimately "went along with their intentions." Carroll said his comments after the Seahawks' season finale that he wanted to continue coaching the team were "true to the bone."

He also said the advisory role hasn't been defined at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if it just never comes about.

 

If Belichick wants to come home and be DC for the Giants- I wouldn’t hate it

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM 

I wouldn't celebrate just yet - Belichick wants to keep coaching and I am sure Atlanta would let him get his 4-5 wins for the next 4 seasons to break the record

He just has to agree to Arthur Blank's rule of blowing a massively stupid lead at least once every 20ish games. 

Random side note (that I noticed when looking at the coaching wins) - Belichick has never been the HC of a game that ended in a tie

The NFL has announced the teams that will "host" the games in Europe next season

Bears and Vikings will each "host" a game in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Jags will host their usual game in Wembley.

The Panthers are hosting the game in Munich, Germany (Allianz Arena)

The "host" of the game in Brazil is still unknown

Not for nothing, and I'm not even a Browns fan... but those sweaters are fuckin' sweet.

Belichick officially gone, another "mutual" decision.  Please not McDaniels.

Between Mayo & Vrabel being out there, there's no fucking way McDaniels gets hired. 

I suppose I could suggest that McDaniels has some kind of blackmail material on Kraft and could end up with the job, but think about it: after the thing with Jimmy G & Kraft's girlfriend, and the FL massage bullshit, Robert Kraft is evidently blackmail-proof.  You can't blackmail someone everyone already knows is a first-rate sleaze.

GM is going to be way more important.  I don't know if they could tempt Caserio away from Houston, given the success he's having there.

Hiring a former star linebacker seems to be working out for the Texans.

I assume McDaniels ends up running the offense wherever Belichick is coaching.

I've never wanted Bill to end up with the Raiders so badly in my life.

 

I loved Mayo when he was a player.  I'm hoping he does well, just wish it wasn't off the back of this "mutual parting of ways w/ Kraft and BB".

Pete Carroll continuing to complain about not being the Seahawks coach and saying he is open to coaching elsewhere. So far the Pats handled letting a long-term coach go better than Seattle, or maybe Belichick is just doing a better job than Carroll at publicly reacting to it. This reminds me of Giants/Coughlin.

Pete Carroll is about to say his Seahawks resignation was an inside job.

Excited to see Pete Carroll coaching the Cowboys in a year or two.

An intriguing idea I saw is that whichever young, smart offensive coordinator gets his first head coach job should consider hiring Carroll as his d coordinator, similar to how Sean McVay brought Wade Phillips in. A guy who can give advice and knows exactly what a head coach's job entails and has seen pretty much everything there is in football.
