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

[Vindicate]

If the Titans get him, they'll be on top of the division again within 2 years.

But it's Amy Adams - so they probably won't hire him.

Stflefanski can be seen as a yes man if you consider how long it took the team to move on from Watson. Haslam ended up admitting fault but Stefanski didn't seem to push back and generally accept working with him. That might move him up in Amy's book.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

In principle this should be what’s happening, as the HC and GM really should be on the same page, so his input should be critical to the process.

In practice, why is McDaniel keeping his HC coaching job?

 

[Hammer of Thor]

With their slim pickings at QB this year, why bother spending money on a new HC for a year?

Slim Pickens might be a better QB for them next year.

True, low ego guy... I could see it.

 

[Ring 6]

Not necessarily true.

But often it is.

 

[Ring 6]

Not gonna lie Ross: it wouldn't be wise to fire him: when you look at the alternatives.

They might only win 2 games with someone else?

 

[Bill Lee]

I think Todd Monken gets some interviews

Unfortunately for me, when his name comes up I make an incorrect association.

Well, as goofy/weird he is, he does seem to get them to play hard. After starting 1-6 they did finish winning 6 of their last 10. No Tyreek. Tua imploding.

I agree. I have a weird soft spot for McDaniel. You can talk about the Pats "going to sleep" but you can also say that, for a bit of the game, they were out-thought and out-coached -- until the ineptitude that goes with an injured and overmatched team kicked in and they gave up stupid plays.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Everyone is talking about another gig for Flores, and rightly. (If he hired Daboll as OC, do you think that BB would text the right Brian with congratulations?) But from what I've seen the best defensive coach in the NFL is Vic Fangio. No one seems to be mentioning him.

And they lost 3 of their last 4 by an average margin of over 3 touchdowns (blowouts), and the 6 teams they beat had a combined record of 42 - 60. The only good win in the last 10 was against the Bills. Not sure the Dolphins were playing hard down the stretch, their schedule got weaker.

Vic's time as head coach has passed. He is still one of the best defensive coaches.

Possibly. But an even older coach who has been out of the NFL for two years is being mentioned ...

They also suck. ****ty teams get blown out. Steelers and Pats are playoff teams. Bengals are skitsos

this is NOT a good year to be citing strength of schedule to make your point.

They did seem to turn it around after the GM got canned. I can't imagine there's a correlation, but ...


I think the King Pin is an excellent offensive mind, but he does seem to get bored (for lack of a better word) with the other phases of the game. I'd wager with a real QB, he'd be outstanding as an OC. McDaniel got a decent showing out of Ewers, probably enough to warrant Ewers making a career out of carrying a clip board and being a respectable #2. I'm just not convinced McDaniel is a well rounded HC.

I don't think he is either. He needs more mentoring.

To caveat my point, I think players don't quit on him and he gets them to play. But that doesn't necessarily mean he gets them to play well or in a position to win football games consistently.

Bengals beat the Dolphins 45 - 21. You are thinking the Bengals are skitsos and the Dolphins played hard in their last 10 games?

Yes, some teams make very poor choices.
