The latest from around the NFL:
- Saints assistant Mike Nolan is a name to watch as new Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy searches for his next defensive coordinator, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (Twitter link) hears.
- The Panthers‘ interview with Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski will take place in Minneapolis on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter) reports. The Browns could also schedule a chat with Stefanski for that same day. During Stefanski’s first full season at the helm, the Vikings ranked as a top-10 offense in points. With Stefanski on the sidelines, the Vikings also managed a 26-20 win over the Saints on Sunday to advance to the divisional round.
- The Giants‘ interview with Baylor head coach Matt Rhule has been scheduled for Tuesday, Schefter hears. After that, they’ll meet with Patriots OC Josh McDaniels on Wednesday. Both interviews will take place in New Jersey.
- At least 4 NFL teams have expressed interest in former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur as an offensive coordinator, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com (on Twitter) hears. Shurmur has also heard from “a college team or two.” Shurmur was fired by the Giants after amassing a 9-23 record over the course of two disappointing seasons.
I like Mike Nolan dating back to his days as a Giants DC, but he doesn’t even deserve an interview for a head coaching job. Failed pretty hard in San Francisco and his defenses the last few years with Atlanta have been pretty awful. Any team would be insane to hire him, so I fully expect the Browns to announce him as their head coach with full GM powers by the end of next week.
Who said he was getting an interview for a HC job?
His mom
She’s a great head, coach
Do you have trouble reading?
“His defenses the last few years with Atlanta” lol. 5-8 years ago
Can you all post a Free Agent Prediction prediction thing when the free agent class officially comes out? I would love to do something like that, and I think other people would enjoy it too.
SHURMUR BACK TO MINNY AFTER STEFANSKI GOES TO CAROLINA?????
