Look where the Polians are after they had all their good group of scouts where no longer here.(2006 on).. If Chris was a good leader, he would still be there, would not matter what kind of evaluator he was/is.

Agreed. But two words to answer your surprise: Rooney Rule

If you do not know the best, then you should not be where you are. Do not hire your friends if they are adaquate. They will only cost you your job in the end.

Meanwhile, the final four coaches this year consist of (1) former college coach, (1) former special teams coach, and (2) former defensive coordinators.

Maybe teams should realize that you can have a great offense by hiring a great offensive coordinator. He doesn’t necessarily have to run the whole team.

They weren’t bidding against anybody for Chud’s services and had yet to even interview Arians or any of the coordinators from the playoff teams. Haslam and Banner realized that they were getting failing grades in the media and fans were informed enough to know that desirable coaches were not lining up, regardless of their deep pockets, to take the Browns job.
After failing to secure a proven NFL winner in Whisenhunt they jumped into the contract sack with Chudzinski before the next news cycle brought further criticism.
While he and Norv may actually help the offense since his vertical system looks like a much better fit for current players, his likely hire of a 3-4 DC will cause massive roster overhaul and seasons to implement.
Conclusion: Chud would have made a good OC.

Woody Johnson needs to suck it up and let Rex Ryan go. He has turned the Jets into the new laughing stock of the NFL. Most of the top GM candidates probably have a hard time taking The Jets and The Rex Circus seriously.

As much as the Jets are what you call a “laughing stock’ he can coach and motivate players the Jets did not have any talent especially offensively this year and a QB that was a TO machine especially in redzone…as bad as the Jets situation is in the last 4 years under his helm the only teams that have more playoff victories aside from the SB winners which we wont count because that is the name of the game NO OTHER TEAM has more playoff wins (Ravens tied Sunday) and that includes Pats

Whis did a great job in Arizona–where no one had really succeeded before. Unfortunately, his QB left. He might do very well in San Diego with Phil Rivers. And Arians may be one of the few coaches who could work well with Cutler as long as he has a tough defense in place.

Speaking of the Bears … I’m still surprised they interviewed Singletary. Great player, good position coach. Shouldn’t be a head coach. Noooo.

He was a really good coach at Baltimore and would be elsewhere as well. I thinks Philly would be smart to hire the man

In previous years, these vacancies seemed to be resolved very quickly. Is it lack of viable candidates, or that viable candidates are spurning new NFL opportunities, or the present NFL opportunities less than stellar (such as avoiding perennially bad teams)? Are teams getting picky or are coaches and potential GMs? Appears like a little of both maybe. The money seems to be evening out for NFL vs. elite college positions. Seems like, why would you leave a good solid college job to get marginal more money to go to the NFL if you have alumni and fan support and make the move just to risk getting you ass handed to you in the NFL? All the hires in the NFL so far have been less than impressive. Seems like those jobs are less desirable than in the past. To further complicate the issue, you have the Grudens and Cowhers in the world staying in broadcasting instead of strongly considering NFL jobs. What’s with that?

Lots of hoorah but zilch work. All talk and no play.

The Jests have never done much on the field and it looks as if that will continue.

Flabbergasting.
