Next HC

Hmmm.... I think that Bleacher Report article has missed the boat somewhere. ...
... Anyway, I think we'll see several more than the article mentions. With the dissatisfaction being expressed across the league, I wouldn't be surprised to see eight or nine......
OTOH... I am frequently wrong about these things. So, there's that...

So...there are 3 openings already.  Then add Washington. 
They also list Atlanta as probable. NE also a probable.   That's 6.
They think Allen gets another year in NO.  Not sure there.
Who else you got?  Jerry Jones is always good for coaching speculation if the 'Boys don't make a deep playoff run.

Uhh ... hmm ... well, uhh ... hmmmm....  I don't know..??  Maybe .. or maybe ???

You ask tough questions..!!!    Seriously though... I know you realize I was just pushing the buttons on the statistics generator. Just using the old "analytics" to hopefully generate some additional discourse. But, since you asked...

I'll do a little spit-ballin' here.  We'll have to agree on the first three -- because they are a done deal...

Chargers -- Staley (GONE)
Raiders -- McDaniels (GONE)
Panthers -- Reich (GONE)

The next three are  "questionable" but their names have come up... AND the teams record over the last four years...

Falcons -- Smith -- (2023--7-9) ('22--7-10) ('21--7-10) ('20--4-12)  (TOTAL = 25-41) --- I THINK this could happen. Falcons are getting tired of their mediocre rankings. The last four years have been pretty bad.

Commanders -- Rivera -- (2023--4-12) ('22--8-8-1) ('21--7-10) ('20--7-9)  (TOTAL = 26-39-1) --- New ownership. That says it all. Rivera is on borrowed time.

Patriots -- Belichick -- (2023--4-12) ('22--8-9) ('21--10-7) ('20--7-9)  (TOTAL = 29-37)  --- The Patriots have been average at best since Brady left. Not much more to say. Belichick could be fired (OR he might retire..).


This next group (IMHO..) are within the "questionable" envelope as well. (NOTE -- OPINION -- JUST opinion..)

Jets -- Saleh -- ('23--6-10) (7-10) (4-13) (2-14)  (TOTAL = 19-47)  --- Saleh has been with the Jets for three years. They're just as terrible as the Panthers.  YES, I know they have Rodgers coming back (probably--maybe??), but ...???  Is Saleh the answer.??

Steelers -- Tomlin -- ('23--9-7) (9-8) (9-7-1) (12-4)  (TOTAL = 39-26-1)  --- Tomlin is a fixture in Pittsburgh.  BUT-- The Steelers are mired in mediocrity. This is a very unusual condition for the "Steel Curtain" boys. The only thing saving this team from complete "nothingness" is their record from four years ago. Since then the vaunted Steelers 'toughness' has been more like a mouse than a cat. Not saying that Tomlin is in trouble, BUT... I don't see the Steelers FO putting up with this for too long...

Titans -- Vrabel -- ('23--5-11) (7-10) (12-5) (11-5)  (TOTAL = 35-31)  ---  Vrabel has been with the Titans for five years. He started off pretty good, but the last couple of years he (and the team) have been slowly sinking into obscurity. The Titans stay pretty competitive, but it's all about "what have you done for me.....lately?" And the team is all about their record. The last couple of years they're 12-21. So...???

Giants -- Daboll -- ('23--5-11) (9-7-1) (4-13) (6-10)  (TOTAL = 24-41-1)  ---  Daboll has been with the Giants for two years. The Giants have under-performed continuously. No reason to believe that anything will change for the better. Daboll might be safe for another year -- OR, he might not.

Bears -- Eberflus -- ('23--7-9) (3-14) (6-11) (8-8)  (TOTAL = 24-42)  ---  Eberflus has been with the Bears for two years. He'll probably get another year --- maybe. The Bears have had lots of high draft picks but so far they continue to disappoint. Will the Bears allow Eberflus to manage another two high picks this coming year.??? (TWO in the top-10..).

Cardinals -- Gannon -- ('23--4-12) (4-13) (11-6) (8-8)  (TOTAL = 27-39)  ---  Gannon is a first year HC. The Cardinals have NOT been playing good ball, but I really don't think he's going anywhere next year. However, -- It's possible. Just ask Frank Reich...

Texans -- Ryans -- ('23--9-7) (3-13-1) (4-13) (4-12)  (TOTAL = 20-45-1)  ---  JUST KIDDING HERE... DeMeco Ryans is safe. He's in his first year and he has the Texans playing inspired football in comparison to the previous years. Doesn't hurt that he has the #1 rookie QB on the field. This team has been "crappo" since Watson got in trouble. Ryans and CJ Stroud have turned this team around. We'll see if it lasts in 2024.

Broncos -- Have been terrible for a few years. But they have a first year HC in Sean Payton and I don't think he's going anywhere next year. So, I'll call him safe (for now...).

To close this out..... I really think the Saints are going to stand pat with Allen, and the same for Bowles with the Bucs. They're both second-year HCs and their teams are playing mediocre football. They'll probably get another year.

There are a couple others out there who may be on a short leash...for various reasons. It's not always about W-L. Could be internal strife or disagreements with staff or owners.  And sometimes we don't see it coming at all. Health, retirement, etc., etc.
