Interesting tweet from former scout Greg Gabriel

or Pete Carroll?

.

.

He knows when to bail when the clouds start forming.

.

Tomlin?

John Harbaugh?

there are like 5 very successful coaches in the league, shouldn't be hard to narrow down once you remove Belichick.

Or Harbaugh?

I don't consider Garrett very successful.

after this season. And you might have your answer.

Yeah, you're right about DAL. And your question would lead most likely to Payton in N.O., as Brees would be one who we might expect to retire. Then again, he had that magical comeback last night.

Speaking of retirement - when does Brady hang them up?

my contact at the Ravens says he believes it's McCarthy but it's all hearsay at this point.

True - Tomlin might be the guy. That would make me very happy. I'd take him as an upgrade to who we've got right now.

Belicheck?

That leaves (in order of tenure):

Belichick
Marvin Lewis
Mike McCarthy
Sean Payton
Mike Tomlin
John Harbaugh
Jason Garrett
Pete Carroll
Ron Rivera
Chuck Pagano

Then strike out the ones that haven't been "very successful" and you have your short list. I believe everyone left has at least made a SB, if not won one (Rivera the only 1 without a win).

Carroll is two old. Can't see McCarthy walking away from Aaron Rodgers. I can see Garrett getting tired of the high drama that is Jerry Jones. Would Reid want to walk into a likely Eli Manning controversy in NY when he seems pretty comfy away from the bright lights in KC? Sean Peyton may be the most likely, especially if he and Brees go out winners together.

Sorry.

I'm guessing McCarthy too.

He's probably taking a ton of crap out that way for the way the offense is performing, with or without AR.

Can't see it being Andy Reid.......

Other guess would be Carroll, esp the way they've handled the OL.

I'd snatch up Jason Garrett in a second.

I think he's a really good coach.

Would make Vernon a 3-4 OLB.

would be winning record. Ron Rivera would be one but bet you Jason Garrett is up there too. The drama around the boys and the guy who is overseeing everything have to be wearing thin..

Could Garrett get a boost from Aikman as possible UCLA coach?

Aaron Rodgers. Same reason mcadoo was a great offensive mind.

Book it

I wouldn't be so quick to think he wants out as he likely enjoys the area.

And Joe Philbin

never understand hiring an offensive coordinator as your head coach when he never called plays before.

Sure it's happened a few times with much success: Andy Reid is probably the best example of this, but I think he was the QB coach for the Packers.

Doug Pederson, another example. I do believe most Philly fans don't like him as head coach. But he's 9-1 and dominated a division rival.

Joe Philbin was a disaster.

He’s been there since 2008 & has a SB win. A lot of success which has kind of plateaued and everything feels stale there.

Has anyone seen Flacco play QB the last few years? He makes Eli look like Joe Montana. He looks even more lethargic than ever and is slowly morphing into Brock Osweiler. They are in dire straights at that position.

Baltimore has pitched 3 or 4 shutouts this year just to get to .500.

At least Carroll and Payton have reliable, proven QBs who do it year after year after year...

next year and is also 38 years old.

he says he wants to remain in NO, but I wouldn't cross Payton off the list solely because he has a QB.

Who knows how long that will last.

If he loses Saturday to Ohio State, I can totally see him try and get back into the NFL.

Disagree. He doesn't even design the offense, it's Linehan's system. He's little more than a cheerleader who calls time outs (and badly at that).

Nothing left to prove, and he's old. He won a Super Bowl, and National Championship. He's to old to chase little Bill.

I hate Dallas, but love Garrett. I know his family very well, and has strong roots in the Jersey Shore. They are great motivators.

In no particular order
Payton, Tomlin, Carroll -- YES

All others __ NO

Assuming this didn't come from Slade?? (jk). I would take Harbaugh or Carroll. Not a fan of Sean P and I doubt Tomlinson leaves now. But who knows...we need a gritty NYG type coach, get back to who we are or used to be.

is really hated in Pittsburgh for some reason.

maybe?

some big names available.

If you'll recall, back when Coughlin was on the hot seat after the 2006 season (mandated to soften up etc.), Tomlin (then DC of the Vikings) came up in connection with the Giants.

and he's probably "hated" the same TC was "hated" here. Unless you're BB, you're bound to wear out your welcome at some point, especially if you go a few years without postseason success.

but the Steelers ran LeBeau out of town too.

Now look what he's doing with the TEN D. He can still go. If they don't want Tomlin anymore, he's welcome in NY anytime. I would still make sure Belichick didn't want to come home first.

Although he's from NJ and his father - a football lifer himself - suffered a stroke a few years ago and is in his mid/late 80s. Jason could very well be looking to take some time away from the game for family, especially with the constant drama surrounding Dallas.

He has been so successful he has gone to the playoffs EVERY YEAR he has been a head coach. My guess is that the highly successful McAdoo and the Giants will part ways at the end of the year.
