Agree entirely, and I’m a raiders fan.
That’s the word out on these streets, yes.
This is fair - I guess I was viewing this through the lens of “tradition of success”, so the Jets didn’t really come to mind what with their 1 SB win, 56 years ago (‘69)
Seems way too high.
Being last has little to do with desirability. Teams still in playoffs can't have their coaches hired. Todd Monken and Joe Brady are strong candidates in this cycle and Kingsbury is probably getting some attention too.
Lawrence is not a franchise QB. Plus have to live in Jacksonville.
Agree with this take but I think this thread quickly and rightfully switched to “least desirable coaching job” instead of “last to fill”.
Best front office counts for a lot. I also think its the easiest division. They may have won the division this year if they'd stayed healthy, there is no clear-cut top team going forward.
That’s true.
Young really elevated his game this year. Pennix sure looked the part most of the time. And Mayfield has more than proven himself capable.
Carr is kind of the stable decent qb that keeps you out of the top 5 qb lotto but isn't going to be good enough to make a Super Bowl run. Long term I agree and maybe even next season agree that he is probably already 4th in this division. A good sign for a competitive NFC South moving forward.
I agree. QB/draft capital/other talent/cap space/owner meddling or spending all matter more than the Autumn Wind is a Raider and Emmitt Smith's HOF laden teams.
I agree, but it is an interesting lens through which to view the situations.
Names like Landry, Madden, Jimmy Johnson, Parcells, Switzer, Gruden, Flores, Shanahan, etc. as well.
Worst job opening and not even close.
I might award a tie with Oakland.
Raiders job has some obvious issues and not sure what's the bigger issue, solving the QB issue or the division.
That’s a good point.
I think so because they will have to wait till the SB is over to hire Kellen Moore.
Way to narrow it down.
Maybe. But you're going to a franchise where you have little opportunity for any real control of the roster and ownership that makes mind boggling decisions on player contracts so you are likely going to be dealing with consistent levels of cap nightmare as long as you coach there.
Good points but Dallas still has a large fan base and is valued in the billions. I imagine that working for the Dallas Cowboys is like being accepted to Harvard. It's something you can point to that looks nice on your resume. Mike McCarthy was getting 8 mil/year. While I can't find the figures on Pierce's contract, it wouldn't surprise me if it was less.
McCarthy is a Super Bowl winning coach with a career 62% winning percentage in 288 games over 18 seasons.
I think the appeal of NO is quality ownership and front office. None of Las Vegas, NY Jets, or Jacksonville have that. Dallas really doesn't either, but they have BY FAR the most roster talent. That (and an easier division) is my logic in having New Orleans 2nd behind Dallas. Jacksonville also has an easy division, but I don't feel that Lawrence is better than Carr (who I feel is underrated) and Trent Baalke is as bad a GM as there is in the NFL.
Other than the terrible hair cut. I like Mark Davis over Jerry Jones or Woody Johnson. He is not going to veto trades for players because their Madden score is too low. I think an owner that doesn't interfere with football operations is a plus.
Agreed. Even though, as a Raiders fan, I’m down on the team as a destination for a top coach due to our horrible roster (except for Bowers, Maxx and a couple others) and 20 years of a bad drafting track record. I agree entirely that when it comes to those 3 owners listed, that Mark Davis is the lesser of the 3 evils.
Ok, so YOUNG bad players. Got it.
It’s Kellen Moore’s job. The only reason the Cowboys HC is safe is because Jerry doesn’t like paying a coach who isn’t working for him.Cowboys will be last. They are working off a different list than other teams, so there's no rush.
Jerry will announce it when he feels the timing is right for the most clicks. Labor Day weekend sounds about right.
