The Khans fired the GM in Jacksonville today. 

The reporting I've seen is that they were "stunned" when Liam Coen withdrew and finally realized that folks were bailing on them because of Baalke

Some folks make better coordinators than head coaches.  McDaniels is one of many that fall into this category.

Tom Brady has given Josh a lot of credit for the development in his career.  Mac Jones rookie year was fairly solid with McDaniels as OC, then went to shit when the Raiders backed up the Brinks truck for Josh.  I think he's going to be a very good asset in Drake Maye's development as well.

No, I agree. He might very well be offensive Wade Phillips. 

But he's still had a very funny career.

Ah yes, Trent Baalke, architect of the Dark Ages of 49er Football, surprised even the Jags tolerated him this long (still long enough to wreck Trevor Lawrence, unfortunately)

if you like your punter being Team MVP then he’s your guy

He'd make a perfect combo with Ron Rivera then

That's an insult to Wade Philips; he had some good years as a HC.

82-64 regular season record as a head coach.  1-5 in the playoffs though.

 

Good to great DCs but bad head coaches are guys like (IMO), Marion Campbell, Bud Carson, Dick LeBeau, and Steve Spagnuolo.

Per multiple reports - the Cowboys will be hiring Brian Schottenheimer as HC by the end of the day

You get a chance to hire the O/C of a team that averaged 20 a game, you can't pass it up!

There are good coaches with bad records just like there are good players with bad records and even stats sometimes. With that said coaches now can be judged more accurately because they all have the resources now that other coaches didn’t necessarily have in other eras.

Well this is really fun. Coen has apparently ghosted the Bucs and is back in Jacksonville trying to get the HC gig

I can't think of a single good coach with a bad record.  For the most part, the difference between good and bad coaches is the ability to either coach players up so they improve or build a scheme that makes the best out of his talent.  I'd argue there are more bad coaches with good records than good coaches with bad records.

There are a few. John McKay, Ted Marchibroda, and a few guys with winning but not great records like Wade and his pop. The coach isn’t always the problem. Even now when they have more resources than before there are still times when something out of their control just destroys everything.

Las Vegas has hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach. 

3 year deal, with a team option for a 4th.  🥳

Maybe Marshawn Lynch will come back and they can have a reunion.

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

On Carroll and the Raiders, I'm not overjoyed about the hire, but he's a proven veteran coach who won't be learning on the job.

And hopefully he will be able to stick around longer than one season to provide a semblance of stability.

I'm trying to look for a silver lining here. 

Hell, I'd settle for a cubic zirconia lining at this point.

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.
