Vikings | Childress in town to interview
Mon, 2 Jan 2006 20:54:48 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, Brad Childress, arrived Monday evening, Jan. 2, in the Twin Cities. He is scheduled to interview for the head coach's job with owner Zygi Wilf and his brother, team President Mark Wilf. The Wilfs have made it clear they will invest generously in their coaching staff. The Vikings want to move swiftly with their coaching staff because they want their new leader to surround himself with well-respected assistants.

I am gonna guess this one is a slam dunk for Childress .

Saints | Henderson may be a candidate
Tue, 3 Jan 2006 06:56:03 -0800

Dave Hutchinson, of the Star-Ledger, reports New York Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson may be a candidate to become head coach of the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have already requested permission to speak with Henderson, but the Jets haven't responded, according to someone with knowledge of the situation.

Re: RE: Coaches around the league Thread
 

After the love boat incident and the bad season , I think Tice is gonna fall off the radar .

Collins out as Browns President

John Collins is out as Browns President, The Plain Dealer's Tony Grossi reports.

It is not clear yet whether Collins will leave the Lerner organization completely or be reassigned to the holding company that manages the Lerner family business.

In his daily podcast on cleveland.com, Grossi says that Phil Savage will stay on as General Manager as a result of Collins' departure. Former Browns executive Lew Merletti will also return to the team in some capacity.

The moves come after a power struggle that resulted in the apparent firing of Savage on Friday before owner Randy Lerner stepped in and took control of the situation.

Re: RE: Coaches around the league Thread
 

Given this one statement, I would question the reliability of the "league sources" because since the Gruden to Tampa trade, the NFL has ruled that draft picks can not be traded for a coach.

See this for more details:

Did not know that great info sucks for them.

ESPN was reporting that Martz is a candidate for NO job...mixed feelings about that one...Will he be healthy enought to last more than one or two games?

I hope they at least consider Childress, or ask permission to talk to Norv Turner

Re: RE: Coaches around the league Thread
 

I always assume all coaching speculation is questionable .

A few years back the Chicago press announced the new head coach was a coach who had never interviewed for the job .

Saints | Loomis not expecting job search to be difficult
Tue, 3 Jan 2006 10:13:28 -0800

The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he does not think the team will have a difficult time finding a replacement for Jim Haslett. "This is a good job," Haslett said. "Obviously, we have some challenges in front of us, but frankly I wouldn't want a head coach who's not willing to face challenges." Loomis added that he has some candidates in mind for the job, but would not mention them by name. He said the Saints' next head coach must have NFL experience and that interviews could begin within the next few days. "We're going to get the best coach available to us," he said. "He'll be the right man for our team, and we'll pay accordingly."

Scratch Gregg Williams:

The hottest name on the coaching carousel is officially off the market.

FOXSports.com has learned that Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has signed a record-breaking contract for an assistant to prevent him from interviewing for a head coaching post elsewhere. Sources close to Williams said early Tuesday that Williams agreed to a new three-year deal worth nearly $8 million, well above the financial terms for any coordinator in the NFL.
Williams also agreed not to interview for any head coaching openings this off-season but, according to the source, it doesn't preclude him from taking a gig next year. The source also said that the biggest overriding factor was the fact that his family loves living in the Washington, D.C. area and were ecstatic with the new deal.

Williams was a top candidate in Minnesota, St. Louis and Kansas City, although the Chiefs are expected to hire Jets head coach Herm Edwards

Their goes Williams.

I bet he wasn't on the Saints List, too much potential for a single season turn around

Oh..... just wait, the idiotic things Benson is going to do this offseason will shock and amaze everyone!!! Don't look for any decisions to be made that will help this team in the 06-07 season. He will draft some players that won't be ready until he gets them to San Antonio...and to replace Aaron Brooks...I see him picking up someone like Kurt Warner :roll:


Monkeys make better decisions than Benson will in the near future.

Sorry, but the NFL will never allow Benson to move this team to San Antonio unless another major hurricane hits N.O. in the next two or three seasons

San Antonio, L.A., Baghdad....wherever....as long as he can get them out of here, that jackass will be happy.

You go girl ...... :dance2:

Go where 08?? Back to beating you into submission???

No one knows what the league will allow Benson to do once its no longer a publicity nightmare for them.

Just give Benson a piece of your mind there .....

Anyone got some info on this Henderson from the Jet's?

Henderson is a strong candidate. Not my first choice, but a better option on balance than most of the re-treads getting their names floated around.

Henderson was the secondary coach for the Ravens superbowl team if I recall right.

Kurt warner Crap...

Please God no , not Warner, he doesn't have it anymore, too many concussions too many questions, he threw for a bunch of yards for Arizona this year but could not get them in the endzone enough to win

He has no talent anymore sorry Kurt you just stink.
