73 years old and he gets a 3 year deal with an option on year 4. He's a healthy man but that is such an advanced age. He'll be almost 80 if he finishes out the deal. It's a bold choice by The Raiders.

He made Geno Smith and Russel Wilson look like playoff tier QB's.  Get a QB that works in his system and the Raiders will be fine.

14 years as a head coach and won at least 7 games every year. He's a winner but...

Wow I didn’t think I’d ever see this. Young Pete was mean enough to be a Raider even though he was a nice person, if that makes any sense. He hasn’t been hungry since he won the SB IMO. That was really his only problem. He was always a good coach.

“If he finishes out his deal” always ends up being a factor with Raider coaches, as I said before

a keen eye would recognize that means the coaching hasn’t been the root of the problem

You know things are weird when the youngest coach in the AFC West is 60 years old.    At least for that division it is not a young man's game

Also, imagine being the Chargers. You have a coach that has never had a losing record in now five NFL seasons, has been to a Superbowl, and won a college national title, and he's probably the least accomplished coach in your own division.

A combined nine Superbowl appearances, five wins, plus three national titles in the division.

So it appears part of the reason Coen kinda ghosted Tampa Bay and did his second interview in Jacksonville in secret was because they had Las Vegas DC Patrick Graham also coming in for an interview Thursday, and they didn't want him to cancel the interview if word for out Coen was back in play/doing another interview. Because then they wouldn't have interviewed two minority candidates in person, and would be in violation of the Rooney Rule.

You may recognize this basic scenario as being one of the main arguments of the currently ongoing Brian Flores racial discrimination lawsuit, where the Giants interviewed him for a job they allegedly had already decided to give to Brian Daboll, solely to be in technical compliance with the rule.

So are the Saints the only team left without a coach? The process continues to be not exactly fair for coordinators on the best teams but the only solution would be to not allow hiring until after the SB and owners would never go for that. So it just is what it is.

I mean the Bills may have a vacancy if Bills fans get what they want and McDermott is fired if they lose to KC. Bring on McCarthy!

Nice to see that Jerry Jones taking part of the good old strategy of "if you are going to delivery shitty news do it on a Friday afternoon or night when nobody pays attention".   Hell the sun was at least up when Vince would fire about 20 people on a Friday

Eberflus as DC is the one that should make you cry in your beer.  I mean the Bears defense was never going to make you feel good about yourself.

I just hope they keep that bitterness with him.  It would be awful if someone felt sorry for him and threw him a bone like some Steve Bartman shit

Mike Kafka got an interview for the Saints job.. which might be a Rooney Rule thing (Kafka is Puerto Rican)

It’s his 2nd interview with them so he is actually a finalist

Technically this isn't official but is still wildly expected

Patriots have hired former Bears interim HC Thomas Brown

Brown had interviewed for the Pats OC gig and Mike Vrabel was impressed by him so they are bringing him on as Tight Ends Coach/Passing Game Coordinator

They are also hiring Doug Marrone but it is unclear what his role with the team will be
