Just skimming the news:

Browns - Hire current OC Freddie Kitchens.

Jets - Interested in Mike McCarthy and Adam Gase.

- My money is on McCarthy. And it'll be a mistake.

Broncos - Hire Bears DC Vic Fangio

Bengals - Interviewed Hue Jackson, Darrin Simmons, Bill Lazor, Vance Joseph, Zac Taylor, Shane Waldron, Eric Bienemy, and Todd Monken.

- My money is on Jackson. Because Bengals.

Dolphins - Rumored to want Brian Flores

- They are reportedly holding off on doing anything until the Pats season is over.

Packers - Hire Titans OC Matt LaFleur

Cardinals - Hire Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury

Buccaneers - Hire former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians

Browns have it narrowed down to Freddie Kitchens and Kevin Stefanski as HC. Sources say they are leaning towards Kitchens.

Cardinals to hire Kliff Kingsbury. Interesting choice. Had a hard time winning with Mahomes in a conference where defense doesn't exist and ran off Baker Mayfield.

how the hell did Kingsbury become such a hot commodity? I know there is this new, get the young O minded coach thing going on, but he hasn't done shit. Good for the Cardinals, continue to be the new laughing stock of the NFL. Take the Browns and the Lions spot.

It definitely has a real weird vibe to it. People say he's legitimately an offensive genius... but how does that translate to running a whole team?

Ask Texas Tech... where he played and set records, then coached and got run out of town.

It seems that 39 year olds are the hot commodity. First LaFluer and now Kingsbury.

Arians to Tampa Bay looks like a done deal.

With the way this new HC market is going, are DC going to become more powerful? I figure Bowles and Pettine can write their own ticket.

There is literally nothing from Gase's tenure in Miami that would indicate he's ripe for another chance. :?

Well he did beat the jets a lot................................................................but so did everyone else.

On a side note it may be a good chance for him, in Miami he was in charge of personnel as well, which is 9 times out of 10 the death sentence for a coach. He won't be now.

The Rooney Rule is officially a joke. Teams trot a few established African-American candidates through the merry go round, and then hire some obscure white guy. Rinse and repeat.
