26CornerBlitz Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 John DeFilippo, Kris Richard Among Coaching Names to Watch By Tom Pelissero NFL.com reporter Who's this year's Sean McVay -- the young, up-and-coming coach who may get an NFL head job sooner than expected? I asked the question around this time a year ago and identified seven candidates, three of whom ended up getting hired (Matt Nagy by the Bears, Mike Vrabel by the Titans and Matt Patricia by the Lions) and two others (John DeFilippo and Kris Richard) who received interviews. As I noted then, McVay -- a 30-year-old with three years of experience as a coordinator when the Rams hired him in January 2017 -- is a rare guy, and pretty much nobody has comparable experience at such a young age. But with the 7-0 Rams hot again, you can bet some NFL teams will be willing to look past the length of the resume (or lack thereof) if they feel they have a shot to land the next superstar head coach. The criteria here remains loose: the age cutoff is in the early 40s, and the person can't have been a full-time NFL head coach before. Here's a short list of names to remember, based on dozens of recent conversations with NFL executives, coaches, players and others close to the search process: Vikings OC John DeFilippo Saints assistant head coach/TEs Dan Campbell Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley Cowboys passing game coordinator/DBs coach Kris Richard Rams QBs coach Zac Taylor and TEs coach/passing game coordinator Shane Waldron Patriots LBs coach Brian Flores Titans OC Matt LaFleur Others to watch in coming years: Dolphins DC Matt Burke; Eagles QBs coach Press Taylor; Iowa State coach Matt Campbell; Falcons DC Marquand Manuel; Giants DC James Bettcher; Vikings QBs coach Kevin Stefanski and TEs coach Todd Downing; Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter; Chiefs QBs coach Mike Kafka; Jets OC Jeremy Bates; Packers WR coach David Raih; 49ers QB coach Rich Scangarello, run-game specialist Mike McDaniel and DC Robert Saleh; Cardinals QB coach/interim OC Byron Leftwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeFilippo and Riley might be the two hottest prospects right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I'd give Riley 100 mil right now to be an offensive consultant. Riley is my hope and dream for HC.

I don't see why DeFilippo is such a hot prospect, the Vikings have a good offense but they also have a lot of talent. It's also only the first year he has handled the offense. I honestly don't know much about Riley but I am always skeptical about the ability of college coaches to translate well into the NFL as head coaches. Out of that list I honestly don't know why most of them are considered by the writer to be "hot prospects." Kris Richard coordinates a Dallas passing game that isn't very good even when factoring in the lack of WR talent. A Pats LB coach isn't inspiring since defensive Billy B coaches almost never do well. The Titans offense stinks why would their coordinator be in line to be a head coach? ] The Rams coaches and Campbell from NOLA are interesting and I get why they would be considered coaching prospects.

You don't gut a lot of the players that can help you win now for picks and future cap space if your weren't promised the chance to use those picks and cap space in 2019. It's also not like McD wasn't coming off of a good season where he broke a playoff drought. You can be skeptical of McBeane to use the space and picks effectively to build an offense to go along with a good defense but make no mistake they are getting one more year. 2 minutes ago, Not at the table Karlos said: Defensive passing game coordinator.

Ol Dirty B Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) That list looks pretty bad in my opinion. The only one I'd be remotely interested in is Riley. He brags about how so many off his last years list got hired, guy lists like 50 candidates and 45 are trash.

If ours lasts one more I won't be surprised... I think the odds of McD getting fired are slim to none. The defense should power the team to 3-4 more wins and a 5-6 win season coming off a 9-7 playoff appearance is hardly enough cause to fire someone. Even if the team goes 3-13 or 4-12 they probably won't fire McD as I think the circumstances to which the team was constructed make 2019 the season they set up to be successful. I don't see Mahomes success on a loaded offense as a reason to fire McD. Passing on Mahomes might go down as a massive mistake but you can't fire McD because a player had success on another team. That's very silly and very arbitrary. If you just look at what McD will have likely accomplished in his first 2 seasons I think McD warrants a third season as head coach and considering the moves they made (clearing all that dead cap and trading players for draft capital, making two trade ups with said capital) I think they were assured a third season by ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
