Pete Carroll?

Yes, Raiders got rid of him

[Law 274]

These 4, added to the Giants, make 5 teams that will be looking for a coach. 

I suspect Stefanski will be at the top of the list for many and won't be unemployed for long. 

Of course, they'll have to satisfy the Rooney Rule first. 

[Law 274]

Forgot Brian Callahan, fired from the Titans. That's 6 teams looking for a coach.

I was a bit surprised they got him in the first place.  hes older, and his style of building a team would take a couple of years.   

Raiders management is impatient, so I figured he  wouldnt last.

I was just reasonably sure that that was not the type of marriage that would work.   No slight against Carroll.

I’d love to see Saban get back in the NFL.  I enjoyed his stent in Miami way more that I should have!

Raiders don’t seem interested in building a winning organization like that once were, they want a quick fix, but, they are awful at it.

Not since Al.  He did love collecting Heisman winners.

And, non-QB Superbowl MVPs.  And, fastest-at-the-combine WRs.

yes, and the ownership likes to meddle.  so when a GM/coach make a call thats best for team ownership will occasionally override it.

lots of teams have that problem not just Vegas.....  Dallas being one..... but like it or not......at least jerry Jones actually has some actual knowledge of football so when his people try to talk sense into  him it will work sometimes.

but this team has been mismanaged for decades.  Not sure that is likely to change anytime soon.

[weepaws 3,470]

Jerry Jones biggest pride problem is the success his Cowboys enjoyed with JJ was at the helm, but I think even then Jones was involved, so I think that’s how he feels now, it’s up to him, the Raiders haven’t had success since they lost big in the Gruden bowl in 2002, and I was went looking at their failures, they have made the playoffs twice since 2002, at least Jones and is Cowboys have had a better go of it.  

The Raiders organization needs to decide, we here just to make money, or to win something imo   

 

[Mike FF Today 760]

Whoa...

 

[weepaws 3,470]

Wow, that’s big news imo. 

[Bills04 66]

The Ravens never performed well in the playoffs.  With a multiple-MVP QB.  So, not surprised.

 

Hmmmm - me-thinks BUF HC S. McDermott might have some anxiety.  He's in the same boat.  Although, Mahomes has ripped the hearts out of many folks in the NFL.

[weepaws 3,470]

McDermott wouldn’t surprise me, he’s won nothing.

Would be surprised if he doesn't land someplace. Wouldn't mind the NYG's getting him.
