Bill’s first offer…

[p8ryts]

I don't see a single team that is looking for a HC, not considering BB as their primary target. Also teams who are debating changing HCs will probably look into BB possibility too.

I'm pretty sure there's no team in the league that would prefer someone else above BB, it would make no sense

apparently the krafts did.

I don't think he would either, and truthfully, I doubt he's actually interested in it.
I don't love the Philly situation as much as some others - I don't think Jalen Hurts is him, for example, personally. And he'll be a little hamstrung cap-wise, also, they need secondary help desperately.

I really feel like Atlanta would be destination number 1. **** tons of cap space and young talent - an excellent offensive line - one call to Kirk Cousins should seal up that division for them pretty easily.

I’ve been liking Cousins as BB’s solution to the QB need, wherever he is if its a QB needy team. But Cousins has to have a question mark attached, after his injury and at this stage of his career. But that might also make teaming up with BB attractive to him, as they’ll both have a “win now” mindset.

 

[n1997y]

I think he's gonna want to have GM powers too.

I think he’d rather not. He’s going to want to make the grocery list but he won’t want to be running to the store. He’ll want a GM that he can work with and trust, so he can focus on HC job. If he and Pioli stayed tight that seems likely to be a winning combination. Or if he teams up with someone new that he feels can do the job that might suffice too.

Falcons or Eagles

Chargers seem to want Harbaugh

If I am Bill I sign up for a playoffs gig ... be good for him ... relax a bit and get at it. Was brutally a punching bag by some ... takes a toll.
He deserved none of it. What he deserved was to be evaluated based on performance ... even he knows that. Outside of that I think he deserves accolades all over the city Billboards all it. 24 great years,

I think the best fit is the Chargers as a coach. They have a good offense......but their defense ...is like swiss cheese. If BB can whip that side into shape, they can be very dangerous. BTW he will also like fishing in the pacific......

Chargers are out on Bill.

 

[venecol]

Only our stupid franchise...

And 29 others. It's looking like ATL or CAR. Even Bill should be able to do well in the NFCS.

 

[TommyD4207]

Chargers are out on Bill.

Agreed, and really, Bill's out on them as well. 40 million over the cap? Aging players at key positions?

It won't be Carolina, he knows that owner is a dumpster fire.
He also knows he's a Kirk Cousins signing away from winning that dogshit division with Atlanta. They damn near won it with Ridder ffs.

Falcons. Arthur Blank is 81--he's in win now mode. BB becomes President or Director of Football Operations (adios Rich McKay), Vrabel is HC and Josh is the OC. I don't really think Blank would care how much that would cost (maybe not that much, considering the offsets in their three contracts). Add a veteran QB and Derrick Henry to the mix.

ATL only has $21.5M in cap space (#18). Not bad but hardly a windfall. I wonder how their fan base would feel about BB after 28-3.

They only need to sign one guy. Pitts, Robinson, London all on rookie deals still.

They're mocked to draft Nix. Is he the guy?

I don't think so, not year one. Nix isn't a ready-to-go prospect.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

I think his chances of getting the record are the best with the chargers
High pick very good qb, BB can take the defense from trash to a new level
I think with the qbs in Atlanta or a rookie qb it would take longer

Chargers are 30+ million over the cap, and in the same division as the Chiefs.

I agree. I said it earlier, Chargers are in awful shape except for QB.

 

[h0c2000]

Imagine Philly … holy crap. Doubt it but …they definitely do respect each other.

Philly gets bounced because their defense is a sieve against the Bucs. BB gets the job and keeps Fat Matt as DC. I'm sure the fans will love that down in Philly.

That should make them extremely happy to have him on their side.

If BB did not trust that TB12 was going to be successful after a certain age, I can't see him being ok with spending big money to get Cousins. Maybe that would change if BB was totally focused on winning regular season games to pass Shula before walking away from the game completely.

Bill wants to win now. so I think you need to look at teams that are ready to win now but just lacking something in the coaching department....

also have to keep in mind, whatever team gets Bill its a short term pairing. he's 72. my guess is he gets the record and retires. 2-3 years at most. So a team looking to the future are they okay with a stop-gap really great coach?

thats why I think its a win now team who underperforms. who knows. there could be teams this weekend that end up in on Bill..(i'm looking at you cowboys)
