Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel
 

With the hires so far, which would you say was the 'worst' coached division and which the 'best'? On paper the best has to be the AFC West now; Reid, Payton and Harbaugh, with Carroll now snapping at their heels. Worst, for me is tough because the AFC East should be considered, but it's one of the South's; for me it's the AFC South. Hard to see a championship team coming from that division with the Texans seeming to regress and the rest mired in mediocrity.

Since we don't have a conference weekend thread. IMO if McDermott doesn't win this game he is done. How long do you give a coach that can't win that one game every year?

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel
 

Well, he lost. Yeah, the Bills could have an opening. Both the Ravens and Bills failed this year.

He's 0-4 against the Chiefs in the playoffs. I get it the refs are definitely on the Chiefs side, but you gotta at least ONE of those games. He can't do it.

Agreed. I think he should have been fired a year or two ago.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel
 

I don't want any more coaches to get fired. Kliff and Josh Allen could be a thing. I'd rather run it back with our offense next year.

But wow, being a Bills fan would be terrible. You know your team is NEVER going to win a super bowl. They are professional losers. They're like the heel in wrestling.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel
 

I still don't think Buffalo fires McDermott. He's gotten so close just can't get over the hump. Chiefs dynasty is no joke at all, and McDermott and the Bills are trying to get their ring during it. Again would be very surprised if McDermott is gone in Buffalo.

Re: The annual NFL coaching carousel
 

On the one hand I can see the argument if you can't get over the last hurdle, we look for someone who can, there's the consideration of what message the organisation sends sacking the guy that got them to the championship game again. I'd be surprised if they fire him now, but maybe not renew his contract when the time comes. I think it depends on his relationship with the whole organisation; do you want to be rebuilding a coaching staff, break relationships between the current staff, players and FO and rebuild those, and all after being 1 drive away from the SB. It's a big call.

"Breaking: #Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury — despite interest from the #Saints and other teams — has decided to stay in Washington for a second season following a remarkable turnaround that saw the team go from 4 wins to an NFC Championship appearance.

His return ensures continuity for the Commanders’ offense heading into 2025. Kingsbury will be a top HC candidate again next year, but the opportunity in Washington was too good to walk away from now."

KK is great with offense and qbs. Hope this is long term but will gladly take 2025 as an assurance at this point.

Mike McCarthy will sit out 25 and try again in 26. He only had interviews with Bears and Saints. Speculation is Saints will hire Kellen Moore , whom they just interviewed but can’t hire him until after the Superbowl.

McCarthy obviously knows its a good ole boys game. Someone will hire him in 2026 because...that's it....just because.

It's good to see this, but I am not surprised. AZ is still paying Kliff HC coach money and I'm sure he's getting a nice paycheck from the Commanders. He has turned down NFL jobs before, and will likely be very picky if/when he decides to be a HC again.
