Who is the best OC available right now for the Chargers?
A little over 3 years ago I posted this about Tepper and my opinion of him has not changed at allAnd what does Tepper know about finding his next head coach? From what I've heard Tepper wanted Rivera gone almost as soon as he bought the team. He is a hedge fund guy and he couldn't wait to put his big Wallstreet Beak into the team's operations and I'm scared he will start weighing on draft picks. What qualifies Tepper as being an expert on the NFL? Did I miss where this guy is All World at running a professional football team in the NFL? All he did was buy the team...a lot of businesses fail when their is "New Ownership"I'm not a fan of coaches being fired before the end of the season, and Rivera is so likeable that it makes it seem more brutal. I do understand there are benefits to it for both the owner and the HC being fired, but I'm still not a fan of it. Tepper said he knew he was going to do it, and didn't want to go behind Rivera's back looking for a replacement. I guess at least now Tepper can openly search, and teams know that Rivera is available (if he wants to be). I think Riverboat Ron will be a desireable hire for some teams this offseason. I said in the Panthers thread that he is the best HC we have ever had. A change of scenery does do a team and coach good sometimes, so I hope that is the case for both. I hope the culture remains good for the Panthers, cause Ron has always kept and held a great culture there. Anyway, I have a lot of respect for Ron. I hope he is successful wherever he goes.
Plus this guy might want to familiarize himself with the Rooney Rule, he can't really jump the gun on hiring anyone and this isn't the NCAA and a rush to recruit HS football players before Christmas, everyone is on a level field int he NFL, many times you have to wait until almost the Super Bowl is the hot OC/DC is on a strong playoff team so i just don't buy that this hedge fund wizard is smarter than anyone else in the NFL. I also think he made a KNEE JERK reaction like a little baby who got his butt by the Skins who still have quite a fan base in North Carolina which is a stone's throw from D.C. and he felt embarrassed and wanted to take it on someone, why not the guy you're going to fire anyways, right?
This was a rookie/newbie owner move that usually doesn't lead to a lot of long term success, we'll see what happens but so far this owner is not showing the patience needed to earn a Lombardi Trophy anytime soon, IMHO.

Kellen Moore to become new Chargers offensive coordinator
49ers GM John Lynch said he will continue to serve as the team's general manager in 2023.
Lynch had talks with Amazon to become an analyst for their Thursday Night Football programming last offseason. A deal never materialized and Lynch decided to return to the 49ers. His current contract runs through the 2024 season, though an extension could come as soon as this offseason. Having led the 49ers to three NFC Championships and a Super Bowl in the past four years, no one deserves a new deal more than Lynch right now. The only thing keeping him from re-upping with San Francisco for years to come is the allure of a cushy job on TV, though that won't be happening this year.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports the Colts could hold a third round of interviews with potential head coaching candidates.
The Panthers, Texans, and Broncos have already settled on their new head coaches, while the Colts do their best to turn the process into a marathon. As Garafolo points out, a third round of interviews would be a pared-down list of finalists who received a second interview. The Colts have held second interviews with eight different coaches, the most recent being Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday is still considered by many as the favorite to land the position, but with the team appearing to vet all options, it's possible a new leader in the clubhouse emerges.

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reports the Ravens have held two interviews with Wisconsin OC Bobby Engram for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
This one has flown under the radar throughout the coaching cycle, but the Ravens holding two interviews with Engram is fairly significant. A 14-year veteran of the NFL, Engram was with the Ravens from 2014-2021, serving as their wide receivers coach and tight ends coach. He took the job as Wisconsin's offensive coordinator last season but is more than familiar with the staff and player personnel the Ravens have in place. Given his relationship with the team, it wouldn't be surprising if Engram emerged as the eventual lead candidate for the team's offensive coordinator role.

I think Ron is safe until Dec 10th (bye week). If they are out of playoffs by then I could see him promoting Del Rio or Bienemy as interim ro see how it goes.Commanders' Josh Harris gives positive feedback on Ron Rivera, admits job comes down to results
Week 1: Don’t lose to the Cardinals or you can update your resume.

Arthur Blank is a very patient owner, and Arthur Smith is very unlikely to be fired before the end of the season.
That being said, the manner of that #Vikings loss is one that can change things quick. Couple that with a loss to the 1-8 #Cardinals next week and an upcoming bye...
Staley‘s seat must be getting quite warm (again).

History today in Pittsburgh: When the Steelers fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada today, it marked the first time they have made an in-season coaching change since 1941, per
@PaulHembo
The last time the Steelers fired a head coach/coordinator midseason was 1941, when the team’s half owner, Bert Bell, fired himself.
