With Vrabel gone, it's Johnson, Joe Brady - Monkin. I'm leary of Carroll.

I haven't seen a story about Tomlin, did he get fired?

The only way Johnson is not coming here is money, like you said I hope they don't screw that up.

To be honest, I don't think either will be there at 10 which may drop Graham or Carter down. Hopefully dropping back and getting an extra top 50 pick works out. 4 top 50 plus 72 gives us 5 future starters. 3 on OL and 2 on DL.

Hard sell at Stanford for recruiting. Harbaugh is much better at it. Shaw just couldn't recruit there, it doesn't make him a bad coach.

People bring up Brady like he's majority owner. All he is is a PR guy for the team. Johnson will listen but they don't have as good a roster as ours and no QB prospect. We definitely are lead team now. Jax, NO, Jets, not happening.

There's no fast track if we want Johnson until he loses a game. Probably SB

Just seen a story where it was reported the bears want to interview Marcus Freeman. That's all bullshi. He just signed a 34 mil extension on his contract. These people just say anything and think bear fans will believe it.

I listen to one of those former QBs that analyzes NFL QBs and he said that footwork needs work and has messed with his accuracy. I'll try to find the video. He made a lot of sense. Statically Caleb's work was pretty good for a rookie but he has a ways to go before he's a top 10 QB let alone a top 5 . One habit that I saw was not throwing the ball away when there was no other option. One website that analyzes sacks said 1/3 of the sacks were on him . Get extending plays but when a blitzer was unblocked,you lose most the time.

I have read quite a bit about David Shaw that was the Stanford coach at one time. He is an interesting candidate. He is a Dan Campbell type. Lots of NFL coaching experience. Supposed leader of men. I'll try to find the article and share it.

Almost anyone that comes in here is an upgrade over Flus, so who ever they decide will be welcomed. I can never do the extensive oversight that they do. I think the experience of being a head coach matters. I think a strong hard ass personality will push accountable more. Who they bring with them will matter. I want a more chance taker similar to Campbell. Someone that values defense and running the ball also. Almost all the information on coaches is coming from agents not these insider info most people claim.

Since it's only the second time I have seen him,and don't know his history, not fair to judge on one game. Last year I watched Jon Alt play 3 games and he always looked like the first OT off the board. I watched one OT draft breakdown and said because of Campbell's football intelligence, he could be a all pro center from his first day in the NFL. He is a big guy with power and mobility and a born leader. If we drafted him at 10 and made him a center would you be okay with that?

After watching Texas and Ohio State, Kelvin Banks is not worthy of a top 20 pick. JT and Jack Sawyer has taken him to school The whole DL of Ohio State moved up the draft ladder. Jake Wilson/ OC has held his own against a awesome DL.

Why does the Colts want to trade him?

Watching Abdul Carter/PSU play. A total stud.

Connections and comrades are how most people get jobs in the NFL. Strangers are the acception.

If a coach is still active in the playoffs, you can only do a virtual interview. The podcast I watched said all but not sure that's true.

Urban Meyer was that college Coach and failed in his first year. They can stop trying to look like they're not leaving any stone unturned and just grab one of the front line coaches and stop the circus. Now if we don't get Vrabel, Johnson, or Carroll, maybe it's the right thing to do

So is this Warren's influence in the process? Last time we had a limited number and George gave Poles 3 to choose from. It seems like their they are trying to find the diamond in the rough instead of picking out of the top 5 candidates and buying one. Vrabel seems most likely to go to NE because of his history. Johnson probably knows who he wants but we can't get him until after the playoffs. So are we going to process our way out of the top choices?

Poles is doing interviews, he's not being fired. That was last weeks conversation.

It seems, with Warren input, they're trying to find a diamond in the rough like McConnell was hired in Minnesota. Just go get the best candidate and not screw around. For me: Vrabel - Johnson -David Shaw ( the more I read about him the more I like him). I would say Gruden but doesn't appear to have been contacted.

Next week he becomes available, his contract with Dallas runs out then. If they denied access probably means he's staying in Dallas.

That just shows you on how much support from all other positions affected his play. His great rookie yr was because his OL stayed healthy.

Chase is bad against the run (31) tot and only 5.5 sacks. Probably not a good idea from someone going to want 10-12 mil a year.

I think we should offer the OC job to the GB OL coach and hire a play caller to the room. He does amazing work with the OL .
