league: coaching fires & hires thread

[zn]

I would love to know what the internal expectations were for this team in each of the past two years. Back-to-back one-and-done coaches who were tasked with winning with an inferior roster and no QB. It’s not only a bad look, but it continues to make a mockery of hiring process https://t.co/406sJQJxvU

The #Cardinals have fired HC Kliff Kingsbury after four years and a 28-37-1 record, per

@AdamSchefter. They signed him to an extension through 2027 last offseason.

Firing of Kliff Kingsbury totally in character for the way the Bidwills have made coach decisions. Team shows progress, then takes a step back. Gone. Third-winningest coach in club history, Don Coryell, had only 42 victories and no coach ever has lasted more than six seasons.

NFL Rumors@nflrums

Several NFL people believes if the Los Angeles Chargers will part ways with HC Brandon Staley if he loses vs the Jaguars. Sean Payton could be a big piece of the equation.

We hear a lot about head coaching candidates at this time of year and their qualifications, based primarily off of statistical performance. I’ll say, firsthand, nobody I had the chance to talk to this year impressed me more, from A to Z, than #Broncos DC Ejiro Evero.

Spent the night around Charger fans. The aggravation towards Brandon Staley is like nothing I’ve ever heard.

The #Dolphins have agreed to terms with Vic Fangio on a deal that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid coordinator, per sources. It’s a 3-year deal with a 4th-year team option. Fangio, the former #Broncos coach, is one of football’s best defensive minds. Huge get for Mike McDaniel.

Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue

McDaniel/Fangio combo in Miami is such a full-circle situation…I remember McDaniel obsessively poring over that scheme a couple years ago at a coaching event. He’s the one who said playing it was the ultimate ego bait for offensive play-callers; death by “10,000 paper-cuts.”

Breaking: Saints and Broncos are finalizing compensation in return for Super Bowl-winning HC Sean Payton, sources tell ESPN. This clears the way for Payton to sign with the Broncos to become Denver’s next head coach.

And so Payton is expected to head to Denver as its next HC. pic.twitter.com/HA4RAtE6P8

The #Texans are requesting to interview #49ers passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik for their vacant OC job under new HC DeMeco Ryans, source said. An impressive young coach, Slowik is another new branch from the Kyle Shanahan tree.
