I think we should be in the top three at least.

There are still two more weeks left in the NFL regular season, but barring any major surprises, we’ve seen enough to make a reasoned guess at which head coaching jobs could be in play at the end of the regular season.

Despite disappointing years, we wouldn’t expect the Bucs or Titans to jettison experienced coaches Lovie Smith or Ken Whisenhunt after just one season, while Sean Payton’s prior success in New Orleans should probably be enough to keep him off the chopping block even if the Saints fail to win the lowly NFC South.

So of the potential head coaching vacancies that could arise – some (Oakland, N.Y. Jets) much more certain than others (Carolina, N.Y. Giants) – which jobs would be the most desirable for a head coaching candidate with a plethora of available options?

We’ve ranked those potential offseason openings from least to most desirable.

4) Miami Dolphins

It’s not looking good for current coach Joe Philbin, whose team appears headed for another December in which his team narrowly misses the playoffs. He escaped paying for his failed oversight in the team’s bullying scandal last year, but it would be surprising if he gets another pass, especially with franchise legend Dan Marino now weighing in as a special advisor.

Pros: Miami isn’t the worst place to spend the fall and winter. It won’t be very hard to amp up the intensity in that locker room compared to the present regime. Rick Ross hanging out on the sidelines.
Cons: Pitbull possibly hanging out on the sidelines.

For halloween, I'm going to be Mark Davis.
 
Though these lists are generally dumb the idea that we are behind the bears is a joke.

For the life of me I don't know why some think the Miami Job is that bad?

You actually have an owner that doesn't meddle and has been shown to open the check book.
The Talent while not great is certainly good enough to get you to at least average and with good coach in the playoffs.


What I'm i missing here?
 
Agreed. Who wants to get saddled with Jay Cutler. RT still has upside.

The Bears are so ****ed. If the ownership is looking for somebody that is willing to be saddled with Cutler they should just stick with Trestman for another year and go for the number one pick in 2016.

Must be fun to be listening to Chicago radio today- wow was that Bears performance epic bad Cultler, The O-line, false starts by the WR receiver's. There were a couple plays that the some of the O-lineman looked they did not even want to try and block, maybe they were hoping Cutler would get injured and have to leave the game. Gruden was pointing out also how bad it was.

I started thinking "man these Thursday games are brutal to watch, wait a second, its Monday..."

Ross, and his advisors Mangini, Peterson and Tannenbaum. If Ross dropped those 3 clowns from any input, including what kind of toilet paper should be used at the stadium his credibility might go up. And yes, those 3 are in his ears, no pun intended, and he needs to make it publicly known they are not. Especially that idiot Tannenbaum. A former jest no less.
 
Ugh Pitbull would scare me off too.

Would be a sweet coaching gig. No income tax, pretty decent roster. A young Qb to work with. I would put Miami over the bears but Giants/San Fran would be a nice venue to take as long as you don't mind NY media up your ass every second of the day.
