NFL News NFL Black Monday 2026 (Raheem Morris, Jonathan Gannon, Kevin Stefanski, Pete Carroll, Mike McDaniel among coaches fired)

The one that comes to my mind as a top of the list guy won't appeal to a certified Big Shield guy like Dancin' Artie the Blankman, Brian Flores. He's too controversial for Atlanta. I suspect he's headed to the Raiders with maybe Daboll as his OC. That would be a brain trust that would appeal to Brady and Davis wouldn't think twice about 345 Park Ave's opinion

Uh... gotta be some weird vibes and blood after what happened on Steven Ross's boat before the 2019 season. Flores refused to speak to Brady and left the boat ASAP.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone from San Fran or the Rams get poached

I keep seeing Saleh's name getting tossed out but he was a brutal disaster with the Jets. Mike McCarthy will most likely land somewhere this cycle

 

[raduray]

I wonder if ol' Arthur kicks the tires on BB? Maybe some buyer's remorse? I know he didn't help his image at UNC this year. But the NFL is weird and I'm not sure there are any "hot" coordinators available other than retreads. McCarthy is out there but not sure there is a Ben Johnson/Mike Vrabel type available. Admittedly haven't done any research on it just going off the top of my head here. But I am glad we are not in the market this year. Seems like slim pickings in the HC market.

With the slim pickings, should we be comfortable with McDaniels staying put?

Tomlin should be coaching for his job tonight if we’re being honest. The Big Ben era has been over for a while with mediocre results since.

They're both coaching for their jobs.

 

[raduray]

Guessing not Lane Kiffin but with that weasel I'd never say never

That would be hilarious.

Everything I've seen about that went to Flores being uncomfortable with what Ross was doing and he and Brady were still friendly

 

[maust]

That would be hilarious.

Sometimes my dark sense of humor and cynicism combine to get the best of me

But what Flores did blew up Brady's plan to play for the Dolphins. I think Brady tried to get out of his Bucs contract after the 1st or 2nd yr in TB because he wanted to go to Miami. Could've been a family thing though with his home in Miami.

I have no idea how owners view him. But I have a hard time believing he's on the top of anyone's list. He tried to be BB jr and it did not work, never mind leaving the Colts standing at the altar. I would expect him to stay.

 

[SVN]

Arthur Blank clearout.

But Rich McKay survives agian

A couple of weeks ago I saw something, from Diana Russini maybe, about them being on good terms. Davis is definitely an owner who'd think about it. Flores as HC might help heal the rift with Maxx Crosby, any defensive player would be happy to play for Flores

 

[manxman2601]

Rumor is if Pete gets fired, Flores as HC with Daboll as his OC will happen.

I think it's safe to say it won't be Josh McDaniels.

In Saleh’s defense, who wouldn’t be a brutal disaster with the Jets? And despite that, he’s looking to be a much better head coach than his successor.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Would think Flores has a chance to get another shot.

More likely in Vegas working for Brady.

 

[n1997y]

Everything I've seen about that went to Flores being uncomfortable with what Ross was doing and he and Brady were still friendly

That probably made him even more uncomfortable about it

 

[scott99]

I remember being so happy when the Pats fired Mayo last year after game 17.

McDaniels isn't going anywhere. I knows he has something special here with Maye and more SB rings are a distinct possibility.

 

[maust]

With the slim pickings, should we be comfortable with McDaniels staying put?

Very. If (a big if) he gets another chance it will definitely be his last so for McDaniels to leave the circumstances would need to be ideal. He's financially set, got 23 year old Maye as his QB, an excellent relationship with Vrabel and Kraft and his family loves it here. It would take an amazing situation for him to leave.

 

[Triumph]

Hot off the airwaves

Flores and Daball to Vegas. Stefanski will be terminated.

Same here. It was quite literally one of the greatest days in the history of the Patriots organization
