If the Titans fire Mike Vrabel that would be a big mistake. I do think it's possible Tannehill is done. At least there. Could be a back-up, or desperate starter for some team.
I like where Dallas is sitting. But going to SF or Philly will be tough, unless the Eagles stay really banged up.
As to team building, I'll echo what Stan Brock told me. Sure you need a top QB, key playmakers. But play after play, down after down, games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage, in the trenches. Granted, he was an offensive lineman, but he had a valid point. You look at some of the best teams in history, most consistent winners, and they all had solid lines, depth on the OL and DL or front 7 on D. Look at SF right now if you want an example.
PFT thinks Jim Harbaugh could be Denver's next coach after one of the team owners said they were looking for a CEO type. PFT took that to mean someone who will be coach, VP of player personnel, all other coaches and staff will report to him, and he will report to the owner directly, not sometimes to the GM, occasionally the president, and the owner. Every team is a little different in this regard. But if you think of teams like New England and BB. Sean Payton of course. Tony Dungee when at Indy, Oakland under Gruden, pretty much Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin. This rules out nearly all OC's and DC's. likely all NCAA coaches with no NFL coaching experience. It will be a system where there's one guy, and he's the boss that makes all key decisions, and stands by them. That's what they want. Jim Harbaugh can be a jerk, but he isn't a wimp and won't be afraid of making unpopular decisions.
PFT didn't say it, but Jack DelRio fits that bill. He was fired by the Raiders because Gruden became available, and after a down year, it was easy to can him. But he was a good coach. If he got to Denver, and could hire Darrell Bevel to be the OC and "fix" Wilson... Del Rio did say some bunk things, and apparently had a thug mentality to some people. Still a linebacker at heart who grew up loving the old Raiders, the nasty Raiders (Alzado, Matuzak, Hendricks, Tatum, etc). Definitely not one to bite his tongue, afraid of making unpopular decisions. Hmmm, maybe the Raiders should hire him back!
I'll honestly stick with McDaniels though. I don't think the Raiders failed this season because of him. I've watched every game, and every press conference. I've also watched some of the coaches film, and when Kurt Warner analyzed them. Carr cost the team a couple games, so did a porous defense. The run game was solid, the OL did well, ST did okay. DL did okay. Secondary and LB need real help. A DT is badly needed to clog the middle on runs. Josh and the staff did cost the team at times, yes. But because he coached badly at Denver many years ago is no additional reason to can him, now. I will however say I was honestly surprised they didn't give Bissacia this year as well. Just hire a GM he can get along with, and let the coordinators do their work. Ziegler and McDaniels must have really impressed Davis. Morgan wasn't president at the time, but it's obvious Davis really respects her, and she seems to be on the same page. Carr still would have slipped, but I think the team may have been more disciplined. Better than 6-11. But that doesn't mean I instantly want McDaniels fired and think he is THE reason for the team struggling, and if they would only fire him, I'm sure the next guy will be great. No way. That's insane, knee-jerk thinking to me.
NFL.com and other sites seem to be saying wherever Sean Payton goes, he is requiring control to hire his own staff, and Vic Fangio will be his DC. Great DC, but there's no way he'd going back to Denver. So...? Some people say he's just going back to NO. This would be a very good time, because 2022 was salary cap hell for them. 2023 will be slightly better, but beyond that, they'll have a lot of room to build. They have a fair amount of talent now, so they wouldn't have to do a total rebuild.
