This upcoming season should determine a lot for the whole NFL. With so many coaching changes being made already and obvious signs of more to come if the teams don't have good seasons next year. Another factor is that there will be some good jobs opening up more than likely. A lot of teams currently loaded with talent will more than likely get marquee coaches. Guys like Gruden, Mancini, and Cohwer. Depending on the openings. A lot could change. Let us delve into it.
The Falcons have had tons of success no doubt saying Mike Smith is on the hot seat is crazy. But after the season ended I believe that the allowance of him to hire new coordinators of his own meant I'd they don't work your not working. 4 playoff appearances and no wins hurts. With a good core group on offense and an aging d-line a defensive minded coach might got there with the thought of only rebuilding the defense. That's what gets you wins in the playoffs anyway you look at it.
The Bengalsade the playoffs for the fisrt time in a long ttime last season. Never the less the last time they were there Marvin Lewis was still there coach. So to say he's done a good job is definitely over stating it. There defense is young, there offense is young. All but aging back Cedric Benson and with the pick they got from Oakland they'll have an opportunity to fix that problem. If they somehow become less competitive than there comp in that division like Baltimore and Pittsburgh than I could see changes being made. More than likely a promotions of offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. Or maybe his brother comes in and he keeps his position.
The Jets are a mess right now. Rex Ryan's mouth has now caused so much expectation that we forget thar really his team is a wild card team year in and year out. They are a goo team but a wild card team, saying your going to win it Evey year will put stress between you and your boss. Especially if you never have. Now he's not saying it this second and may not at all seeing the dysfunction between the team but saying it as much as he did means you have to come through. Maybe Sanchez stays or goes but they have a decent offensive line. And with a good playcaller and a every down back that can get more than 20 carries a game they would be a solid team. Unfortunately under Ryan they havent done much to that effect. They've used a lot on weapons for Sanchez. That will probably cost him his job. Don't fret though Rex, if Wade Phillips leaves we'll need a coordinator in Houston. Good fit cause we dont allow the talking.
Look for some name coaches to take these jobs. There's too much in place for them to resist. With Fisher taking over in St Louis and taking Gregg Williams with him we now see the power these guys have. If a guy like Fisher can do that isn't it believable that Cohwer could get Dick Leabu? I think it is. Its obvious that those guys were loyal to the Rooney's not Mike Tomlin. Bruce Arians said he was retiring and took a job with the Colts. We'll see how it all falls together. I'm already waiting and excited though.
