Our Next Head Coach

[GoodTimeCharlie]

What’s your type?

[Sold My Soul]

Candidates:

Adam Stenavich, OC, Green Bay Packers

Adam Stenavich was outstanding as Green Bay’s offensive line coach from 2019 to 2021, consistently identifying and developing late-round draft picks into serviceable starters.

Promoted to become Green Bay’s OC in 2022, Stenavich helped Jordan Love become one of the league’s most electric quarterbacks in 2023. Despite fielding the NFL’s youngest roster by snap-weighted age, the Packers ranked eighth in yards per play.

Although Stenavich doesn’t call plays in Green Bay, he’s a critical cog in the club’s offensive hierarchy. He might get more looks in 2025, especially after helping the Malik Willis-led Packers to two victories this season.

Ben Johnson, OC, Detroit Lions

Ben Johnson can become an NFL head coach the moment he decides he wants to.

Multiple clubs — including the Panthers and Commanders, for starters — have reportedly wanted to hire Detroit’s OC over the past few offseasons. Instead, Johnson has turned down opportunities, preferring to stick and build with the Lions.

How much longer he’s willing to wait remains unclear. Johnson might not be able to reject the chance to work with a quarterback like Dak Prescott in Dallas or Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia, especially if Detroit advances to or wins the Super Bowl this season.

Bobby Slowik, OC, Houston Texans

Bobby Slowik brought Shanahan’s offense to Houston and immediately got results, helping first-round QB C.J. Stroud to an Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign in 2023. Given how fellow Shanahan acolytes DeMeco Ryans (Slowik’s boss) and Mike McDaniel have worked out as head coaches, Slowik will be targeted.

This offseason, he interviewed with Atlanta, Carolina, Seattle, Tennessee, and Washington before signing an extension to stay with the Texans for at least one more year. With Stroud locked in as a potential MVP candidate, Slowik could be on the move as soon as 2025.

Drew Petzing, OC, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona went 1-8 with Joshua Dobbs and Clayton Tune under center last season. However, the club immediately improved after quarterback Kyler Murray (ACL) returned in November, ranking ninth in offensive EPA per play from Week 10 onward, per TruMedia.

Drew Petzing didn’t get any head coaching looks after the 2023 season, which wasn’t necessarily surprising. Ownership groups might have had difficulty selling their fan bases by hiring the offensive coordinator from a team that finished with a 4-13 record.

The Cardinals are 1-2 to begin this season, but Petzing’s offense — now featuring first-round rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride — has looked explosive. Arizona scored 69 points over the first two weeks of the year before playing a tight game against the Super Bowl-hopeful Lions in Week 3

Joe Brady, OC, Buffalo Bills

What a whirlwind it’s been for Joe Brady in the last few years. Coming off a national championship season as LSU’s passing game coordinator, Brady became the Panthers’ OC in 2020 and interviewed for five NFL head coaching positions the following offseason.

Ex-Carolina HC Matt Rhule fired Brady midway through the 2021 campaign, but Brady rebounded, joining the Bills as QBs coach in 2022 before taking over for fired OC Ken Dorsey in November 2023.

Josh Allen is the easy MVP pick through three weeks. Buffalo leads the NFL in scoring and efficiency. One in five of the Bills’ pass plays has gone for at least 16 yards, giving them the highest explosive passing rate in the league.

If Allen keeps playing like this, Brady could have his pick of jobs next spring..

Three old men?

Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday that Belichick is eyeing Raiders interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner for his coaching staff.

[Sold My Soul]

In an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show Monday afternoon, ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter detailed his reporting surrounding a telling recent owners meeting where principal owner Mark Davis declined to "stand behind" Pierce.

"I think last week when Mark Davis spoke at the owners meetings I think it was pretty apparent that Antonio Pierce's future is unsettled. He [Davis] was asked about the head coach and the general manager, and he said he will view them separately and not as a package deal… It certainly didn't sound like he was an absolute lock to be back next year."

A legit starting QB

[rich72]

[quote=HesterLayes post_id=1258886]Obviously the HC job is huge,but OC is right up there.As far as Graham,hope he stays.I think many see some bad performances and automatically call him out,but don't realize they watch our team every week and focus on that while not seeing many defensive eggs laid by other teams weekly. Guy is intelligent and the players play hard.Lacking talent and depth in a few areas and also the pathetic offense the last few years is very telling as far as field position,time on field,and overall mood of the d week after week.[/quote] I wouldnt mind keeping PG as DC, but if TT wanted a clean slate I wouldnt mind that either. PG may also want to move on to HC and I dont think it will be here this year.

[Xramfan]

The next HC needs to bring his own staff.

Doesn’t look like it’s happening here, and no one is going to hire him from us for a HC job.

We are where your coaching dreams peter-out. Hell, with the gray beards we hired as AP’s consultants were damn near an NFL retirement home.

AP needs to go back to high school.

[quote=RI RAIDER post_id=1259556]AP needs to go back to high school.[/quote]He's not even worthy of a position coach. f[raiders_icon]cking clueless moron.

[Sir Raider Duck, OMS]

[quote=Attyla post_id=1259014]So Magic hiring the best available guy and then letting him do his job is not on Magic?

And I disagree on the Brady connection to McDaniel, that is a Davis move pure and simple[/quote]Magic has very little to do with running the Dodgers. When the Guggenheim people bought the team from the horrid Frank McCourt, minority owner/Team President Stan Kasten was the one who took over the actual operation and turned the team around. He was also the guy who eventually stepped back from day-to-day operations and hired Friedman (as President of Baseball Operations) who took everything to the next level. Magic was and is the PR frontman.

I agree that Josh McDaniels was 100% a Mark Davis hire.
