Fulfills their Rooney Rule requirement.

Fulfills their Rooney Rule requirement.

There’s been a lot of buzz around Brown all year, he’s considered a rising star.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

He's a good coach. Wonder what led to the sudden firing (aside from missing the playoffs).

I read on NFLTR that he refused to fire Todd Monken.
I'm guessing it was more than just that.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

There’s six openings, not including the Ratbirds, and someone else called as well. My guess is Jerry. Regardless, there’s interest.

I wonder if it’s Miami, still waffling on McDaniel?

Can‘t imagine Harbaugh wanting to deal with the Tua situation though.

Ian Rapoport on NFLN says it wasn’t sudden, that ownership was evaluating for a while, and one of the big factors was that he had, in fact, lost the locker room. But that it was still a surprise to Harbaugh, he thought he was safe.

Whenever the locker room is making decisions there is a big problem.

Assuming it’s not the agent lying.

So now everyone involved in deflatgate has now lost their jobs and haven’t won a thing since!!!

Look at the bright side, Jim Kensil has a lovely new Chinese bride and is busy working his rice paddy deep in Hunan province.

...and the Browns want to interview him as their HC.

Yep. Can't lose your franchise QB and miss the playoffs the same year.

Browns gonna brown

Best meme evah!

The 'Tua situation' may allow McDaniel to survive. Imagine, for a moment, being a candidate to be Miami's head coach facing Ross and his front office. The first or second question (the one you'll be judged by) is going to be "What would be your plan for fixing Tua?" and you know the correct answer, "A blindfold and cigarette at dawn" is not an acceptable one.

That is why there aren't 8 head coaching jobs open.

They need to find out who the leading locker room lawyer is and ship them out. Otherwise, it’s the inmates running the asylum.

Nice free lunch - dinner and hotel also get a close look at the facilities.

 

[PatsFan2]

Either way or side somebody was going to get fired.

True, but…
Ariz might also want to try and force him (T Brown ) as OC on whoever is stupid enough to take the HC position. So they call him in for HC and actually feel him out for OC during the interview.
(Note: Brown may go just to get his feet wet with how an interview works, even if he has no interest. ).
Whoever (low credibility guy) they hire as HC may be like Mayo with no good connections and be more than happy to have one half of coaching staff solved for him.

Isn’t that kind of h

Isn’t that how he ended up with the Pats?

I am happy to have him but never saw him as someone we would keep long term.

 

[mgteich]

He’s 63. Hes got a little bit left.

a little bit isn't enough for most of the teams that will want to hire him
