NFL 2021

I really don't want us to lose Adrian Wilson but it feels inevitable.

Leftwich to Jax makes all the sense in the world. Started his career there, a bit less pressure to prove himself straight away as a rookie HC. By all accounts he has a great mind for the game.

[The Buscher]

I mean, this is funny and all and the Jags keeping Baalke always felt like a terrible idea.  But a guy who hasn't been a head coach demanding his own hand picked GM (who also hasn't been a GM), sans interview?

Sounds like Leftwich knows he's the Jags' top target but isn't totally sold on the job, so he figures he'll shoot for the moon and if Khan wants to back out, so be it.

If I was a well-regarded OC for one of the league's best teams, and I'm bargaining with the league's worst team, I'd probably feel brave enough to make such demands as well.

TBH, I'm not sure how much of that is Leftwich vs Brady.

Yeah when I saw the star imprints on the leaked uniforms I figured that's where this was headed. 

Where is this at? I do a search and all I come up with is fan-made concept designs.

Lol Leftwich told Khan "#FireBaalke"

Good for him. Baalke is a snake and sucks anyways. It's never made any sense why he was hired last year to begin with and the idea of keeping him makes even less sense.

Since the year McDaniels screwed over Indy, has there been a single coordinator on the final 4 teams to get much/any traction in their HC candidacy?

I can't think of any recently but it sounds like the Vikings are likely going to choose between Rams OC Kevin O'Connell and 49ers DC DeMeco Ryans so that would be your answer there potentially.

Baalke probably did himself in when he tried to interview Fangio for the HC job.

[The Buscher]

Jim Caldwell apparently raved about Fields in his interview and laid out a dynamic offensive plan built around him.

But the Bears have basically never had a dynamic offense in their history, so Eberflus it is.

Eberflus is a really uninspiring hire.

He's done wonders with the defense in Indy, but usually after 4 years you run your course as a candidate. Not sure what Chicago saw this time around. I guess they just always want a defensive minded HC there.

I hope so. For Trevor's sake they really need to stop screwing around with the Baalke stuff.

You can find them a few pages back. I think it was tweeted by the official WFT twitter.

It would be wild if the 49ers ended up losing both of their coordinators. Though it sounds like Daboll is probably the favorite for them. 

[The Buscher]

I won’t be all that upset if the Giants miss out on Daboll, but I expect a meltdown from most of the fanbase.  The optics would admittedly not look great losing out on the guy who seemed like a lock.  Very reminiscent of Matt Rhule clearly going to the Giants two years ago, until he didn’t.  But in that case they dodged a bullet.

Giants should be finished with interviews tomorrow, so they’ll at least have a chance to keep Daboll from going to that second Dolphins interview.  But it depends on how aggressive they want to be.

Certainly seems like the Giants are fast becoming Flores’ only option.
