COACH CAROUSEL

i think Gruden ends up coaching the Eagles. owner, Jeffery Lurie's pockets are deep.

I hope John Madden gives the Raiders one last spin

i think he's the only one willing to coach them.

Arians doesn't want to be a coach and him and Pagano were BFFs even while they were coaches for the Ravens and Steelers. I dont see him leaving, especially to deal with Jerry Jones' craziness.

I dont think Gruden coaches again.

Greg Roman is going to be leading a college program after this year.

Wade Phillips knows better then to try to be a HC again.

Bruce Arians was just essentially fired as the Steelers OC last off season so that would be a hard sell for Dallas

Mike Sherman has no shot, Tannehill has been playing really bad lately (since bye week has 3 TDs and 6 INTs) and Miami offense is only averaging 18.2 ppg since bye week (3L - 2W).

John Gruden will not come out of the booth to coach Cleveland.

Mike Holmgren is just as likely to work for ESPN as he is to be a HC next year.

Andy Reid would be smart to take some time off before excepting another HC job.

Mike Zimmer might actually work, his son works for KC as a Ass. Linebackers Coach, He was in Dallas for a long time so could be in the mix for that job should it become available

hard to believe that Pat Shurmur has not already been fired

Isn't Roman's name being thrown around as a leading candidate for the Cal job?

If I am Roman only thing I leave for is to be a HC in the NFL. Not sure I would go back to college. He can be a part of something special here. If he does go I think Geep Chryst and Jim Harbaugh take over.

I've heard his name for the BC job.

It's an interesting way to look at things. A successful college coach may not get paid as much, but they are treated like an emperor in their domain. A successful NFL coach gets the Hollywood star treatment. I guess it's just sort of up to what the personality wants.

I think he's going to be a hot enough commodity where he stays in the NFL. I actually like were the guy put him. Carolina is not going to look for a sexy splash and they're going to want someone with the ability to develop Newton. Roman looks like a perfect for them.

Frankly, I think Kansas City makes the most sense as a destination for Greg Roman and Scot McCloughan. The foundation is half way there with the following:
- 3-4 Defense
- Elite Running Back
- Potential in the offensive line

Roman and McCloughan can turn this around in 1-2 seasons by poaching a few 49ers free agents, other free agents, and drafting well. Sign guys like Alex Smith for starting QB, Delanie Walker for starting TE (pair with Moeaki), and Larry Grant as a starting ILB. Maybe even Brandon Jacobs as a backup to Charles.

You look into other free agents, and you can go after Greg Jennings to beef up the WR corp, and Kenny Phillips to address the safety position.

With Smith as the starter, I'd trade the #1 overall pick to the Bills (assuming they are #7) and get a ton of picks in return - three 1st round picks, two second round picks, etc.

Target guys like Star Lotutli - DT/DE in the 1st, Terrance Williams - WR and Desmond Trufant - CB in the 2nd, and Landry Jones - QB and Mario Benavides - C in the 3rd.

Now you got an offensive mastermind at the run game, a dependable RB in Charles that will be fully utilized, QB that can run and lead a team, strong veterans and young weapons, and you solidify the defense.

Building the 49ers Mid-West I see?

Honestly, this isn't a bad idea. It would be wise for Kansas City to try and get Alex Smith and either trade that #1 (they could also hold), and go after an elite prospect at a position other than QB. With the decent O-line they have, a RB like Charles, and Alex Smith as the QB, they could honestly make a run at a playoff position in 2013 in the AFC West.

The only thing is, is it time to clean house on the defensive line? They already have some pretty high picks on that defensive line. If by some miracle, Norv Turner retains his job in San Diego, I'd also look at bringing in Alex Smith. Rivers just doesn't look to be the same elite QB anymore and Smith could possibly run that offense, for a much lower price tag if he can beat Rivers for the starting gig.
