League openings for HC and Vikings GM competition

GFAN52 : 1/14/2022 6:54 am
Lots of HC openings around the NFL.

Quote:
• Giants have some extra competition in their search for a new head coach, as the Texans have fired David Culley, according to NFL Network. These are the open head coaching jobs right now: Giants, Texans, Jaguars, Broncos, Dolphins, Bears, Vikings, and Raiders. But the Raiders are in the playoffs and might retain interim coach Rich Bisaccia.


• The Vikings’ GM target list is taking shape. They need a GM and coach, as do the Bears and Giants. Like the Giants, the Vikings are going to hire a GM first, and let the GM essentially hire the coach. The Bears are doing both searches at once. From the Giants list, they’ve requested interviews with Ossenfort and Poles.

• Here’s a full rundown of the Giants’ GM targets ...

Joe Schoen, Bills assistant GM — Bears also interested

Adrian Wilson, Cardinals vice president of pro personnel

Ryan Poles, Chiefs executive director of player personnel — Vikings also interested

Quentin Harris, Cardinals vice president of player personnel

Ryan Cowden, Titans vice president of player personnel

Monti Ossenfort, Titans director of player personnel — Vikings also interested

Adam Peters, 49ers assistant GM

Ran Carthon, 49ers director of player personnel — Bears also interested

Joe Hortiz, Ravens director of player personnel

I am more concerned about getting the Top HC and staff.
Seems strange to me

that Vikes and Bears aren't bringing in Hortiz or Peters. Maybe they rejected? Seem like two really good options...
I think that the speed we are moving

in relation to the Bears and Vikes is due to the fact that the Giants have know for a long time Gettleman was not coming back. I know it wasnt annouced and he was allowed to retire but I suspect they told hime he would not be brought back a while back.

We seem to have had list in hand and started bioking interviews as soon as the league allowed where as Minn/Chi went down to the last minute on their GMs.(Like we did with Judge)

I've been shocked at the lack of "buzz" and interviews Hortiz is getting as well. Maybe he's been turning down the interview requests? Taking the Giants job would mean moving his family a few hours north, not across the country.

For Peters I know there's been speculation that the 49'ers were always his dream job and he'd only leave for a few select jobs. As much as we complain about ownership being the Giants GM is still a premier job. Its the largest market in the US, the team can only go up and if you do good, ownership will keep you around a long time.

It seems that the Bears one has less to do with their interest and more to do with the candidates. The Bears are hiring a coach while looking for a GM, so said GM will be stuck with a coach they didn't pick.

Not to mention that any GM who does not think that Fields is a good QB is likely to avoid the Bears job because the resources are not there to replace QB quickly. Nobody is trading them what they paid to get Fields.

As far as the Vikings job, they can evaluate talent but there was a lot of underachieving and a horrible cap situation. The former is likely due to the coaching staff not adapting and why they were fired and the latter is due to a disconnect between the personnel guys and the financial guys. They need more of an administrator who can retool that dynamic than the Giants who really need modern tools on player evaluation. The 2022 cap sucks but if you look past that the Giants are actually in better shape because they don't have many contracts of key pieces expiring in the year where cap is going up the most so UFA's will likely be overpriced.
