This is going to be an interesting off-season
 

Well, so far, the Raiders, Cardinals, Steelers, Falcons and Dolphins need coaches for next year. There are rumors that the Giants could also need a coach. And there are rumors that Romeo could be on his way out of Cleveland.

Add to that, Floyd Reese just stepped down as the personel man in Tennessee.

However, there is no shortage of coaching candidates. Norm Chow, Ken Whisenhunt, Dennis Green, Bill Cowher, Jim Mora, Rex Ryan, Rob Ryan, Jim Johnson.

So, does anything think that the Raiders will be able to find a coach before the start of the season?

Who do you think is going to be coaching where?

Which team will have the candidate that came out of left field?

Raiders: Rob Ryan
Atlanta: Bobby Petrino
Miami: Jim Bates (for one year until Cowher can bhe hired without compensation to Pittsburgh)
Arizona: Chow
Steelers: Mike Singletary/Rex Ryan

I can still remember how much more competent Miami looked when they replaced Wanny with Bates at the end of 2004. I was actually surprised when they seemed to have no interest in him as their HC.

Steelers - Russ Grimm
Falcons - Ken Wisenhunt
Arizona - Cam Cameron
Raiders - Should hire someone to groom young qb. My guess is
Ron Rivera - Bears Def. Coord.
Miami - My open suggestion to Mr. Huizenga is quality NFL asst.
He will go for big name. Jimmy Johnson II

Bill Bidwell, the current generation's official idiot of the Bidwell family will hire the:

The Defensive Coordinator from the Indianapolis Colts! (whoever he is)

Every other candidate will interview take the free trip, free meal and a round of golf, and politely decline, (while laughing at the Cardinals in private!).

These guys are seeking an Opportunity not a Sentence!

Pity the poor Cards fans. Six generations of congenital idiots that breed true. Their ONLY hope is the family gathers together, they all climb on the family Gulfstream for a family get together and promptly fly it into a rock in the clouds!

Then the Cards get sold to anyone; and he would be better, even Dan Snyder or Mike Brown!:p :p

Thanks, hot coffee through the nose is so enjoyable. Got to remember not to drink when I read some of these comments.

Re: This is going to be an interesting off-season
 

I think the Cards will take the OC of the Raiders instead!

I had family in StL and spent vacations there, so the Cards were my NFC team -- they were pretty good for a while with Jim Hart, Mel Gray, Terry Metcalf, etc, but still could not win a playoff game.

Maybe the Cards can get bought by Mark Cuban.

I think patsfaninpa has it mostly right with the future predictions. Raiders need someone who just wants the experience, or who needs a re-start like Shell did.

I feel bad for Romeo -- in that division, and even with another year, life will not get any easier.

Re: This is going to be an interesting off-season
 

I think the steelers hire from within, wisenhunt or grimm

chow goes to miami or arizona

atlanta gets whoever pittsburgh doesn't

raiders.... who cares they will still suck and I feel sorry for whoever takes that job. Probably Ryan. Another B.B. disciple

Re: This is going to be an interesting off-season
 

I'd rather just think about the play-offs now. The off season will be here soon enough.

Re: This is going to be an interesting off-season
 

Yeah, but for these teams, it IS the off-season!
