The Browns have interviewed Andy Dickerson, Ken Dorsey, Jerrod Johnson, Brian Johnson and Kellen Moore (today) for their vacant OC position. With so many openings around the league, it would make sense for Cleveland to move quickly on a hire this deep into the process.

99% certain Slater is retiring...they treated the last game as such...the players all wore some gear honoring him...that being said I'm not sure why it hasn't become official...maybe with all that is going on with the BB to Mayo transition they want to let that settle down first so it doesn't get overshadowed...Slater is held in the highest regard by everyone whether it is teammates, the organization, the media or the fans...I have never heard anything other than he is the real deal...there has been some chatter about his post-career but nothing official...there is no doubt he has a position within the organization waiting for him if he wants it...whether that is as a coach, the front office or just doing the PR thing it will be there for him.

It doesn't hurt that you have a huge story in Belichick leaving the Patriots and another in Harbaugh leaving Michigan.

Figured. A good chunk of his tweets are just kissing up to agents so they'll continue to feed him info.

The Patriots plan to interview Lions pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand for their OC position, source said. Engstrand’s name has become a popular one around the NFL thanks to Detroit’s offensive success.
Engstrand also worked with Jim Harbaugh earlier in his career.
Tanner moved from TEs to Passing Game Coordinator this season. It has been widely speculated he would take over as OC in Detroit if Ben Johnson’s goes to the Commanders.

Unlike the OC job which is wide-open this was expected...if BB doesn't get a job it will be interesting to see where his sons end up...the word is they get along with Mayo very well and he has offered them a job but with the DC job going to Covington not sure what role Steve would have if he stayed.

Perry: What Pats' offense could look like under a McVay assistant
Is it time to ‘modernize’ the Patriots’ offense? Phil Perry breaks down what to expect if New England hires an OC from the Sean McVay coaching tree.

There's lots of smoke around Christian Parker as Green Bay's new DC. The guy is 32 years old. Currently Denver DB coach but has ties to the Packers from 4 or so years ago under Mike Pettine.

Zac Robinson indeed seems to be joining Raheem as Falcons OC:
Still obviously need to address the QB, but have to think it’s a good hire for the skill position guys.

I was so wrong on him as a player. He was an intelligent QB that knew to patiently work the short game until chucking it deep. I think it was a year after Bradford or same year, every scout seemed to comment on his IQ. I thought the Pats were the perfect team for him and... he pretty much fizzled.
Every time he's mentioned as a coach I'm...yep those who can't do, teach, and he sure has the head for it.
I've noticed players single him out over the years and ...I'm happy for him. It's sure been a different road than expected

Nice article which updates where the Pats are with their staff...it appears Caley is the favorite for the OC job...he was a contender when they hired BOB...better off he didn't get it because it allowed him to get a year in with McVay in LA and avioid last season's disaster where it didn't matter who the OC was...by all accounts the Pats are going away from their old style of offense and will be going with a form of the McVay-style...great news as that other offense worked for TB12 but was not well-suited for others.

As an aside...IMO the best sites to get Patriot info is nbcsportsboston with Curran and Perry and Boston Sports Journal with Bedard and Giardi...BSJ is a pay-site and definitely gets more into dissecting X's and O's.

@chiefs
VP of football ops Brandt Tilis last Monday and Tuesday. Tilis' office in KC has already been cleaned out, and he hasn't been on the team's playoff trips to Buffalo or Baltimore.
(So, yes, that one's done.)

Yeah he does.
I hope he gets it.
I've enjoyed the Magic Johnson conversations already. If Ben gets it, the Golden State guy will bring more of that discussion since he will have hired the top young head coach candidate and top GM candidate.
Putting the work in, commitment, dedication, competitive spirit, sports intelligence...it doesn't matter which sport- the best guy will smell what's what. It doesn't always need to get into the finer points of the game.
I hope Serena starts sitting in on interviews with the Fins now.
When Mularkey transformed the Titans from second worst, he talked about wanting football guys first.
When I was little, my dad used to get upset Parcells used to use the phrase gym rats and if the GM is unsure, then get him some gym rats later in the draft. On the surface that's extremely flawed BUT amidst a list of the top 2-300, a gym rats would have some value. Ya know they're going to be committed and with the occasional divas....ok ok I'm rambling, I'm totally looking forward to the overanalyzation of the NBA guys in Washington.

This is a little different but felt this was the right place to post it...Phil Perry does an excellent job with his coverage of the Pats and NFL...it is kind of about the Pats search for an OC but it breaks down the McVay and Shanny systems which are all the rage:

Perry: What Pats would look like with Shanahan-style offense
What is the “Shanahan offense” and how would it look in New England? With several members of the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree interviewing for the Patriots offensive coordinator job, Phil Perry breaks it down.

Arthur was a top OC of a top offense a few years ago, people thought higher of Tannehill than any other time in his career, and Henry ran for 2k. To just be like "I didn't like him in Atlanta" is a myopic point of view.
No name social media guys were claiming Munchak and Smith to Pittsburgh as a rumor yesterday. One of those happened.
Corey Davis AJB versus Diontae and Pickens comparisons will be tweeted in 5,4,3....
The Steelers, today, don't have the line or the back to do what I'd expect.
Henry to Steelers rumors?

Ben Johnson's staying in Detroit.

#Lions OC Ben Johnson informed the #Seahawks and #Commanders that he’s staying in Detroit, per sources. Johnson is still only 37 and will be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. But first, he wants to take another shot at bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Detroit.

But I thought it was a lock he was gone?
It's not a given. Surely he knows that but if Detroit has a bad year, he might not be the hot candidate anymore.
I'm gonna assume good things about the culture and team drove him to want to stay in that brothehood
Titans Pat OHara's contract isn't renewed.
He's a very popular likeable dude with a weirdly diverse background. He's coached or played in every league. He coached actors playing football characters and is known for the Waterboy. Mahomes has spoken about working with him many years ago. Brady told a story about when he was at USC and apparently OHara ripped his game apart then helped him.
He's a unique perspective guy that probably lands somewhere to advise a younger coach.
OHara is like 55 but somehow viewed as an old guy despite the coaching profession average age

It was probably that, but there were some reports that his asking price was too high. I also wonder if he wasn't so excited about the opportunities available (although I've long thought the Washington job was one of the best scenarios around this season).
Who's still in the running for Washington? Are there any offensive options? Seems like it's all former DCs. A guy like Quinn would make me very nervous; we saw in Atlanta that he made a Super Bowl with Shanahan, but the offense instantly regressed the moment he left. Most important thing for the next regime in DC is to develop the No. 2 pick into a franchise QB

Reportedly he was asking $15m/yr.

Every assistant coach wants HC abilities. Seattle has a desirable franchise (maybe), Washington had the 2nd pick in the draft. Perhaps Johnson asked too much or perhaps he didn't interview all that well. I'm inclined to think when neither team hires you, a statement like this makes everyone look good.
It's funny how a team will spend 50 mil on a 21 year old that hasn't played a snap but 15 mil for a leader of their team is too much
I'm sure it's not "either or" and he had a lot of thoughts.
I love Pete Carroll but maybe some new guy doesn't want the former coach around.
Washington seems to have fixed things and seem like they're putting good leaders in place. If someone was apprehensive because they were a mess recently, I could see that.
A lot of people thought Carolina was quite undesirable due to ownership.
Then there's these new GMs- Hey you got hired Friday but interview the guy that'll be your coach on Monday- that's pretty odd for a no experience guy
