It's a sensible if safe choice from the Giants. What is surprising though is Steve Spagnuolo remaining defensive coordinator.

The Giants are said to be very high on Spagnuolo and feel the defensive performance this year wasn't really his fault and he didn't have the personnel needed for his system to thrive.  So again, they said personnel is the problem yet the GM stays.  Good job Mara.

The Tennessee Titans are on the verge of locking down their future general manager.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the expectation is that Tampa Bay Buccaneers director of player personnel Jon Robinson will be named the new Titans GM on Thursday.

Robinson is a Union City, Tennessee, native and the Titans gig would be considered his dream job.

Robinson spent the past two seasons in Tampa after working for 12 years in the New England Patriots organization as a scout and director of college scouting (2009-2013).

Chip Kelly gets to coach the dumpster fire that is the 49ers.

THE CHIPPAH!  Surely he can't make things worse for them, right?

It's weird. He can't even work his system in San Francisco. For example, he can't ship off their best talent cause they don't have any.

Navarro Bowman came back, didn't he? They could ship him out for, say, a third round pick and a white receiver to be named later.

Yeah canning Coughlin only to hire McAdoo only makes sense for the next few years but I'm not sure how Jerry Reese still has his job. Spags returning makes sense since he literally just came back and the problems on D last year wasn't really his fault (injuries, shit personnel), I couldn't see them starting over AGAIN on defense without giving him a fair shot with some upgrades next season. I'm not too high on McAdoo but he'll only go as far as Jerry Reese allows him... so I don't see him staying too long. >_>

 

EDIT - Coughlin withdraws from Eagles job. Thank god.

 

And Eli's QB  coach from last year, Mike Sullivan, will apparently be named OC rather than Joe Philbin.

Oh wow. Chip at San Francisco. Should be entertaining one way or the other to say the least.

That's a shame. Oakland's international reach makes them a huge brand and it'll be really unfortunate to see them move.

Eagles hiring Chiefs OC Doug Pederson as head coach

Buccaneers promoting OC Dirk Koetter to head coach

[VerbalPuke]

The Browns are going to interview Martin Mayhew.

No word on Jim Caldwell yet, Robert Quinn seems to be thinking this through which is good.

[Szumi]

I like the Pederson hiring for two reasons. One, he knows the organization and is an Andy Reid guy. Two, it's just funny to see Lurie going, "yeah that whole Chip thing didn't work out. Time to go back to what we know!"

No. No! Who am I to feud with? A Chiefs fan? A Chargers fan? Get out of here with that mess. You will be staying. We can co-hate the hell out of the Trojans in the college thread, but we hate each other in here, damn it.

I like the Pederson hire, because he was essentially their third choice. Gase to Miami. Coughlin would rather not even bother. Why not settle with the Reid disciple?

I think if anyone can get anything out of Colin Kaepernick, it would be Kelly.

[Meacon Keaton]

It's just a shame there's not much talent anywhere else on that team. Now that Chip is out of Philly, I'm not totally against seeing him succeed.

This relocation stuff sucks. I would be heartbroken if we lost the Bears

Think about it. How likely are you to see a bear in Chicago outside of a zoo? Portland, on the other hand...

The 3rd choice Reid disciple has been paying dividends for the Baltimore Ravens.

Raiders belong in Oakland and it's a shame to know that Mark Davis is too cheap to keep them there. Wasn't there an offer on the table to lease Levi's Stadium?

 You monster! Don't even put that thought out there
