Unless we "trade" his rights is how I understand it.

The best way to do this without changing schemes and losing the good coaches we have is to make Dennis Allen the head coach, Ryan Nielsen the DC and keep Pete Carmichael as OC if he wants to stay.

What a pounding we be taking. Ouch.

I’m not saying I want Allen as HC. But I would not dismiss him just because he struggled with. Raiders. A LOT of coaches struggled with that franchise. His tenure there was a while ago and he likely learned a lot about being a HC serving under Payton. Belichick struggled with his first head coaching job too.

The tricky part is that Kris Richard is getting interview to be a DC

Looks like whichever one(if they do) gets promoted you likely lose the other. Shame we lost Dam Campbell last year as he looks like he will be a good HC, thought he did well all things considered in Detriot

Is it wrong that i would like to start a rumour going that Rex Ryan is coming in as HC and bringing back Rob as DC just to see the reaction?

Simple have Sean swap jobs with Drew, keep the existing staff.
I think Drew would make an outstanding Coach..
So now back to reality.......

Also that press conference was hard to watch..

From what I hear he is a great play caller and X’s and O’s guy but not someone you want as a motivator/leader. He’s more of a soft spoken kind of guy.

Not necessarily, contractually he owes the team remaining years on contract, so if he takes time off and gets an offer, say Dallas, then the Saints have to release his rights...

Gruden going to TB got the Raiders two first round picks; gotta believe that's the start of the compensation package...
