26CornerBlitz Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 @RapSheet Three new names expected to get head-coach interviews: #Panthers OC Mike Shula, #Bills RB coach Anthony Lynn, #Seahawks OL coach Tom Cable. @RapSheet Discussed hot head coaching candidates on @NFLGameDay, and some we know from last year: Adam Gase, Josh McDaniels, Doug Marrone. Yup. The #Panthers DC and #Lions DC Teryl Austin still names to consider RT @ndutton13: @RapSheet Any buzz re Sean McDermott, Ian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I wonder if the output that Karlos has been giving has anything to do with that. Don't really know much about Lynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He is assistant Head Coach as well as RB coach (whatever that means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He got some looks at OC last year as I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I wonder if the output that Karlos has been giving has anything to do with that. Don't really know much about Lynn. I imagine it's more about being well organized, well spoken well networked, etc.... Than handing him a franchise because one rookie looked good. Karlos doesn't hurt but can't imagine it's high on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Good for Lynn; good coach Tom Cable? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 There is a need for fresh Rooney Rule candidates. I like Lynn, but he needs a wider body of experience before he'd be considered as a serious candidate for a Head Coaching position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't know why they're still beating the Marrone HC candidate drum. I'd be surprised if he got any interviews and downright shocked if he got a job. His stock was supposedly highest last offseason and he got nothing.

KDIGGZ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I understand the need for something like the Rooney Rule but would he be getting looks if not for that rule? The jump from position coach to head coach is a big one. I would want to see what he could do as a coordinator before hiring him personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Good for him. Nice to at least be considered. Can we make him take Crossman if he goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock was supposedly highest last offseason and he got nothing.if I recall from who was fluffing him up last offseason, it's Marrone's agent via Rapaport. Schefter another shill for the agents so I'm sure he will chime in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Mike Tomlin got the Steelers' HC job because of the Rooney Rule. No he didn't. He got his hire on merit. He already had a Super Bowl ring serving as the DB coach in Tampa consistently marshaling one of the best units in the NFL, then served as a Defensive Coordinator of the number 8 defense in the league. When he was interviewed by Pittsburg, they had already interviewed a minority candidate for the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He would have never gotten the interview were it not for the rule. I'll repeat myself: The Pittsburg Steelers had already satisfied the Rooney Rule in their Head Coaching search before Mike Tomlin was offered an interview.

BADOLBILZ Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't know why they're still beating the Marrone HC candidate drum. I'd be surprised if he got any interviews and downright shocked if he got a job. His stock was supposedly highest last offseason and he got nothing. Unfortunately the reality is that Rex is making Marrone look good by comparative success this year. The Bills added a big name coach.....a well respected OC......a bunch of players in FA/trade.....had a good draft.....and their record hasn't improved thru 10 games. From the super close perspective of avid fans we don't see Rex and co mistakes as a positive on Marrone's ledger but the reality is that other teams may see it this way. Winning 5 or 6 to finish out the season might be the best way to keep Marrone out of a HC job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
