Eberflus to Cowboys as DC.
The Saints are the only head coaching job still open. The front-runners are Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore and Kliff Kingsbury. The Saints are in salary cap hell for the next couple of years.

I'm seeing all these coaching hires and can't help but think this is the worst group of hirings I've seen...maybe ever. A lot of over the hillers (Carroll), never been's (Schottenheimer), very limited experience (Coen), and guys that I think are just busts (Glenn). Ben Johnson looks good on the surface but I dont get a real "leader of men" feel from him. To me, Vrabel is probably the best hire in this cycle.

Not the most desirable organizations to work for, combined with guys that probably wouldn't get desirable jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if in 4 years none of these guys are still coaching their teams. That said, I'm happy to see the Lions gutted.

Saints probably are going to have to just hire someone who won't have much for future options, just to run the tank job as they rebuild their cap. Can't imagine McCarthy would take that job. I think he'd be much better off taking a year off and going for something next year.

Brought back a good guy to run the offense and mentor Maye too. I think Glenn has a chance, there are still some really good D pieces there that he should resonate with. Rogers will be an interesting saga to watch unfold.

And although the national media is slobbering all over Aaron Glenn, I don't think its a homerun hire at all. Remains to be seen. |
