Doing a quick look around the league at teams that may be in the market for new HC's and or GM's. This is what I see.
For sure: Jacksonville (Meyer) and Las Vegas (Gruden).
Very real maybe's: Chicago (Nagy), NY Giants (Judge) and Carolina (Rhule).
Possible: Seattle (Carol-Retirement), Denver (Fangio)
There's also probably a real head scratcher that no one see's coming.
If there are 5+ HC changes would that make one or more qualified O-line coaches available for Flores to hire?
Chicago- Juan Castillo
NY Giants- Rob Sale
Carolina-Pat Meyer
Seattle-Mike Solari
Las Vegas-Tom Cable
Jacksonville- George Warhop
All of these guys are certainly better than Jeanpierre. Do any others come to mind?

Nice post.
 
If there's someone on that list that has connections with Flores and the Cheats then he's first in line. Otherwise I don't see "outsiders" being brought in while Flores is in charge. It's a "problem" due to Flo's lack of coaching network outside of NE. Seriously limits our options and he's not confident fishing in unfamiliar waters...

Is that what it is? Anything to backup your claims?

Im not criticizing your post, per se, but why would we want coaches from teams that are a combined 27-56 this season? Of the teams you listed, none has a winning record, and only one is at .500 and in playoff contention. If they were good OL coaches, I would think they'd be having success enough on their own teams to be more competitive.

Stats (not exactly glowing through week 15)...
- Bears' leading rusher: Montgomery (668)
- Giants' leading rusher: Booker (506)...Barkley has even less (429)
- Panthers' leading rusher: Hubbard (500)
- Seahawks' leading rusher: Collins (411)
- Raiders' leading rusher: Jacobs (548)
- Jaguars' leading rusher: Robinson (757)

Yes, I know we're not a rushing juggernaut, but are we just looking for a shiny new name? Developing our talent and holding the players accountable to some measure should be just as important.

He's basically listing the teams that he believes could hire new head coaches, which usually means most, if not all, the assistants will be available for hire elsewhere.
 
Team rushing stats:
Team rank tot yds rush avg
LV 29 1918 3.8
Mia 28 1213 3.4
NYG 26 1349 4.1
Jax 23 1442 4.6
Sea 22 1357 4.5
Caro 16 1577 4.1
Den 9 1733 4.5
Chi 8 1753 4.5

So yes, almost any other possible/potential replacement O-line coach could realistically provide better results than what we currently are seeing from this team.

I understand your response, NC...just wanted to make the point that "rankings" and rushing average, etc don't necessarily equate to wins, or the propensity to make the playoffs and make a deep run. Yes, the lower per-carry-average doesn't show that opposing teams would have to respect our run game. Isn't it interesting that the two lowest ranking teams in this post are the only ones closest to the playoffs? That's what I mean...

Sometimes, like players, a coaching change and moving to a new environment and instilling a new philosophy/blocking schemes/approach could provide a spark, so I wouldn't be adverse to that...

Look at the composition of the current staff. Their backgrounds are ALL rooted (connected) via NE.

Look at Flores entire coaching history -- ALL rooted in NE.

Look beyond the trees and you'll see the sun!

Or maybe the moon!

:p

Our rushing game is awful and hard to watch. Any offensive coach that has proven success in that area gets my vote.

Nice post. I think Nagy is for sure. Judge probably too because I think they'll get rid of the GM. I think Fangio is unlikely. I still think if Cincinnati falls apart that Zac Taylor could be in trouble.
 
The question I have is the following: (the same question should be asked after the season)

Have we seen enough in our winning streak to warrant keeping our Offensive line players minus Davis? What about the Offensive coaches and the strength coach?

If our running game finally takes off, then we may be one RB and RT away from making this a solid line.
