First big hire of the season is GM Dave Gettleman by the Giants:

Basically the GM version of John Fox.

Jets just extended the contracts of the GM and Bowells through 2020.

is the jets roster in a better spot than it was 3 seasons ago?

[mshu7]

Not sure about the Jet's roster, but the Bears roster is definitely in a better spot!

Bucs are hanging on to coach Dirk Koetter for 2018, as @NFLSTROUD said.

Florio with a good summation of possible firings:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... ter-focus/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here’s a list of the coaches who remain on the hot seat, with no eleventh-hour effort to give them a reprieve.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis: His contract expires after Week 17. Though he has addressed his future status and plans several times, the Bengals haven’t said a word about whether they want him back.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano: He delivered what was interpreted by some to be a farewell address this week. Ownership has said or done nothing to contradict the widespread belief that Pagano will be out after six years.

Texans coach Bill O’Brien: O’Brien has said he’s not quitting, but the Texans haven’t said they aren’t firing him. There’s a belief that O’Brien will be back without an extension on a contract with one year remaining, as each side waits for the other side to be the one to end a relationship that remains dysfunctional.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey: Some believe that a failure to make it to the playoffs means he won’t be back. The Titans have said nothing to push back against this possibility.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio: Believed as of a week ago to be a 50-50 shot at sticking around, owner Mark Davis has not declared that Del Rio definitely will return in 2018.

Broncos coach Vance Joseph: Eight double-digit losses and four losses by 20 or more points could mean that Joseph will be one and done in Denver. G.M. John Elway has said he’ll wait until after the season before making any final decisions. A day before the finale, Joseph’s fate already may be sealed.

Bears coach John Fox: If Fox weren’t out after three disappointing seasons on the job, someone with the Bears surely would have said so by now.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell: Ownership and G.M. Bob Quinn declined to comment on Caldwell’s status after last week’s postseason-killing loss to the Bengals. Their silence since then has become even more deafening.

Not on this list is Browns coach Hue Jackson, because ownership has said publicly and privately that Jackson will be back. However, a loss on Sunday means an 0-16 season. Which could make it even easier for new G.M. John Dorsey to make a case for change.

That leaves the current list of potential new members of the FFCA at nine. With an asterisk for the surprise firing/resignation/retirement that always seems to happen.

Possibly on defense. Trimming off the malcontents and former 1t rounders that didn't pan out and replacing former top talent that just wasn't getting it done any more.

They have a long way to go on offense though. They could be better off bringing in Alex Smith and drafting Sankey than trying to draft a QB.

[Rusty Trombagent]

Rumours this morning, before the games get going:

-Bill O'Brien gets one more year (per adam schefter)
-Bruce Arians likely to step down (per adam schefter)
-Gruden to Raiders is heating up! (ugh)

[Rusty Trombagent]

-Ian Rapoport saying Caldwell's getting the axe after the game, and Jim Bob Cooter is getting promoted (although he also said Matt Patricia is in serious consideration). (Their GM, Bob Quinn, is ex patriots front office)

[Rusty Trombagent]

Pagano out!

We could do worse than him as a DC

Damn, did you guys see? Jim Caldwell absolutely lost his shit when they told him this morning he was fired!

Arians to retire.

Arians to retire.

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
#AZCardinals coach Bruce Arians officially retires in an emotional press conference. “It’s been a great ride. … I will miss the game.”

[The Marshall Plan]

Arians to retire.

What might have been with that guy a few years ago huh?

Sad. Hopefully he's happy with his decision.

[UOK]

With regards to Arians and the Bears management style, they WANTED HIM TO DO A MOCK PRESS CONFERENCE.

You fucking kidding me? He allegedly just laughed and withdrew his name from consideration.

LOLLLLLLL so fuckin good

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/10/29/ ... ith-bears/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For one, (Arians) was asked to do a mock news conference in the course of his interview. Apparently it wasn’t enough that he was the reigning coach of the year after taking over the Colts and had been doing news conferences all year.

The mock news conference was a variation on the actual news conferences that the Bears requested of Smith and runner-up Russ Grimm in 2004 after failing to come to terms with Nick Saban. The message is that perception matters as much as performance to the Bears.

Jackass, bullshit organization. Goddamn McCaskey and Phillips jackassery.

If you know only one thing about Bruce Arians, know that we pulled this little league shit, and he made a jerk off motion and said fuck off.

If I had to guess, I'd say it shakes out like this...

Oakland - Jon Gruden (so dumb)
Detroit - Teryl Austin (keeps Stafford happy with the majority of the staff in place)
Chicago - John DiFilippo (makes too much sense)
New York Giants - Matt Patricia (they want so badly to be the Pats)
Inidianapolis - Dave Toub (the Ballard connection is there and Nagy might not be ready)
Arizona - Pat Shurmur (respected and somewhat established coach that will have a QB in his pocket)

Leaves Nagy and McDaniels on the outside looking in. Nagy and McDaniels both seem like good candidates to stick around their current teams and potentially take over for their head coaches at some point.

I think there's too much about Reich and his personality that teams aren't going to like.

jesus christ, the bengals just extended marvin lewis 2 more years.

those poor fans.

today the titans regret to inform you that as much as they'd like to fire mularkey, it'd be a real bad look.
