The Coaching Change Thread

It's both.

It's hard to develop mentally when you're having to relearn a new system every year.

That said, often a player just sucks.

Supposedly Jeff Fisher is going to get an interview with the Dolphins and Bucs for their opening HC position according to Adam Schefter.

And also their are reports that the Dolphins offered John Gruden the HC job with full control but he turned them down.

Well it's not insurmountable, but it does hamper development. Think about it logically; how often is repetition a part of improvement? Familiarity with a system and comfort within that system do wonders for not only a QB's mental development, but his confidence and physical preparation as well. Not only that, but it doesn't effect only the QB. If the entire offense is out of sync due to constant shakeup, it makes it all that much more difficult for the QB as well. Timing is such an underrated aspect of playing in the NFL.

Supposedly the Jags want to interview Mike Mularkey (Falcons OC)... please take him Jacksonville.

What's the rule on interviewing DC and OCs of current playoff teams? Can they interview guys like Zimmer or Murlaky before there 1st playoff game?

No. You can only interview someone with a bye week.

I know he's not popular with Falcons fans, but he would be a serious upgraded playcaller from Dirk Koetter. He also has ties to Tom Clements, who was his OC during their 2 years together in Buffalo, so we could make Mularkey the HC/playcaller and Clements the OC/QB coach which should be a great combo for Gabbert. It would also be a necessary stepping stone for Clements if he wants to become a head coach in the NFL. It's just wishful thinking for me at this point, but it makes some sense.

I guess it could make some sense, because at least Mularkey will feed MJD and constrict Gabbert.

On the Dolphins radar:

Instead, the Dolphins are more likely to look at coordinators. Salguero writes the following names will be in the mix: Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, and Cowboys special-teams coach Joe DeCamillis. Salguero puts Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey in the “maybe” category.

SEE!!!!!! Raiders fans are the reason why they have canceled the preseason battle of the bay!










j/k as I know yr playin playa

[Brothgar]

Take the OC from the Packers someone please.

[BeerBaron]

Does anyone else think Chudzinski's name being mentioned is a little funny? Not long ago, he was fired in Cleveland because that offense was lousy...he's spends like a year or two as SD's TE coach....has one good year with Cam Newton at QB and suddenly is a head coaching candidate?

BS. Unless he gets to bring Newton with him.

It's times like this I continue to think that I could GM an NFL team if someone was there to help manage the salary cap. Namely because I wouldn't do ******** **** like this. By "not being terrible" I'd be halfway there.

[SchizophrenicBatman]

F jacksonville and their idiot owner. They took Jack Del Rio from us after one year too

Just let us have Chud and Cam together for a couple years!

[49ersfan_87]

So far the open HC spots are

Jaguars
Chiefs
Dolphins
Rams
Bucs

Thought there would be more turnover than that. I expect Jim Caldwell and Norv Turner to be fired soon as well, although not necessarily today in Turner's case. That would leave 7 HC openings.

Next year hot-seat candidates would be Gailey, Frazier, Shurmur (only signed a 2 year contract), Shannahan, and maybe Reid and Garrett.

I want Spags back so bad. SO BAD.

If we can't have him back, I'd love to see him go to Oakland and turn that unit into a great unit.

Just please. Don't go to the Eagles. Don't do that to me Spags. Please. Don't do that to me.

Just don't do that to me. Anywhere but Philly.

[V.I.P]

Hallelujah !!!!!!

I would LOVE Spags in Oakland. That would make me oh so happy.

Yup....

Filed to ESPN: Irsay cleans house, including Bill and Chris Polian, per league source

Right thing to do imo.

Let the Jim Fisher era begin in Indy

[49ersfan_87]

Where do you guys think Jeff Fisher ends up? It seems like he's been linked to every job opening this year. Definitely the hottest HC candidate this offseason.

With everyone out in Indy, that seems like the logical place. Handling the Peyton situation could get tricky, but being the man in charge on the team who will be getting Andrew Luck looks like a great job opportunity.

I think i read somewhere he would only come to Indy if Peyton was healthy and the QB. I think he wants to win now and not build a team.

The Jags inverview Mularkey, Chudzinsky, and now Brian Schotty....

Only Mike Martz and Cam Cameron remain on the list of terrible OCs to inverview for HC Jacksonville. Better get a move on!

But seriously...Brian Schotty? really? Are you trying to see just how bad you can make Blaine Gabbert?
