John Cocktosten Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 According to Rivals "Coaching Carousel": NORTH CAROLINA Out: Everett Withers, interim coach. Went 7-5 in one season. Potential candidates: Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator George Edwards, USF coach Skip Holtz, Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads About the job: North Carolina has been one of the greatest underachievers in ACC history. The program hasn't exceeded eight wins in a season (a span of four coaches) since Mack Brown left in 1997 despite elite talent on defense at times. The Tar Heels have excellent facilities and a good recruiting base. But the new coach could have difficulties with NCAA sanctions looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of three ways Chan and the Bills could honorably GRE (get rid of Edwards) this year with all the injuries. If he takes Giff Smith with him even better! This is worth a beer! PS if the Ravens DC takes a new job, what's his staff like? Maybe one of them would be ready to take a step up to DC...here?

Unfortunately, the next in line would more likely stay with the Ravens and take over for Pagano. But there's lots of talented people out there.

Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That would be kind of embarrassing...Edwards quits for a different job and doesn't get fired for sucking so bad...not the way I want him to go, but I would still be happy about it!

Webster Guy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Nix and Chan's decision to retain or fire Edwards has nothing to do with Edward's options out there. They either want the guy or he's gone, but he's not going to leave an NFL DC job when he can only improve his defense from here on out. My guess is they'll let him ride out the season and let him go in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 They can't be considering him based on his record with the Bills. What keeps this guy in the/any mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College coaching positions are generally less demanding, more secure and better for the coach's ego than NFL gigs. Many coaches prefer them. Ask Steve Spurrier. I might be a good fit for him given his struggles so far at the NFL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NastyMan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 If Edwards is out (which i hope he is) I really think we should go after Eric Mangini. He runs a 3-4 defense with the Pats, NYJ, and Browns. I think he would be a much better fit then the other names being brought up. Plus he probably has some unfinished business with the Pats and NYJ. Win, Win for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one of those is a more attractive candidate than Edwards. No way NC would pick him unless everyone else says "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert cohen Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 this would be the best thing that can happen to team.. let someone else take that bum and pay him to be head coach! i think he would be very qualified to coach a pee wee team or MAYBE a flag football team, but anything that gets rid of this dude would be great!
