BucD+ 648 Posted January 11, 2012 Per PFT: Jets officially name Sparano offensive coordinatorPosted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 11, 2012, 12:15 PM EST Just 12 hours after Brian Schottenheimer “resigned” from the Jets as offensive coordinator, New York just happens to have another guy ready to take the job. The team announced that Dolphins offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is officially the team’s new offensive coordinator. This was first reported by ESPN’s Chris Mortensen Tuesday night. It remains to be seen whether Todd Haley arrives as a “passing game coordinator.” Sparano only has called plays for one year of his career and isn’t as experienced in the passing game. Sparano could provide a counterbalance to Rex Ryan’s bluster and add some toughness to the team’s offense. Ross Tucker of ESPN.com raises an interesting possibility. Could Chad Henne follow Sparano from Miami to New York to provide competition for Mark Sanchez. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 11, 2012 So much for everyone who thought Fisher was going to the Rams. Like this move by Miami. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted January 11, 2012 So much for Fisher going to St. Louis because they have a "franchise" QB. Word of advice, they don't. He can bring in his own guy, or develop Matt Moore further. sounds like a win win to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted January 11, 2012 So if Fisher is Miami-bound, does that mean Jeff Ireland is willing to give him final say over personnel decisions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AL_Royalty 489 Posted January 11, 2012 Schefter is saying Todd Haley will likely go to the Jets now too. Not so much. The Jets hired Sparano as their new OC.... This whole offseason is one big cluster-fuck. Coaching carousel is a label that only scratches the surface this year. We're still in the 2011 playoffs, and already there is so much movement it's making my head spin... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 11, 2012 http://rotoworld.com/player/nfl/351/rams-offense The Rams have received permission to interview Panthers OC Rob Chudzinski for their vacant head coaching position. Chud's offense vaulted to seventh in the NFL, setting a franchise record for total yards one season after bringing up the rear as the league's worst offense. Along with Cardinals DC Ray Horton, Chudzinski appears to be in the mix as a Plan B replacement while the Rams await Jeff Fisher's decision. According to the Miami Herald, that choice is expected to be announced on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted January 11, 2012 Chud would be a good hire for the Rams, IMO, because he can make Bradford to Blackmon a winning combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 12, 2012 Green Bay linebackers coach/assistant head coach Winston Moss is the front-runner for the Oakland Raiders' head coaching vacancy, two league sources told the San Francisco Chronicle. New general manager Reggie McKenzie already put his stamp on the organization by firing coach Hue Jackson after Jackson finished his first and only season with the Raiders with an 8-8 record. New general manager Reggie McKenzie is targeting Green Bay linebackers coach/assistant head coach Winston Moss for the Oakland Raiders head coaching vacancy, according to a report. McKenzie was the director of football operations in Green Bay before taking the Raiders’ GM job, not surprisingly, several Packers assistants have been mentioned as possible candidates, including secondary coach Darren Perry, offensive coordinator Joe Philbin and quarterbacks coach Tom Clements, according to the Chronicle's report. Moss interviewed two previous times with the Raiders as a potential head coaching candidate. Any interviews of Packers’ assistants will likely have to wait until the team’s playoff run concludes. Source: Sporting News At least three NFL teams have called Bill Cowher with coaching offers this season. According to Tom Weir of USA Today, Cowher was a guest was on the Dan Patrick Show today with Bonnie Bernstein hosting. Cowher was asked whether his coaching offers were over or under two. Cowher laughed, then said, "Oh, it's over," while not specifying which teams were interested. As for coming back after being away from coaching for five-years, Cowher added, "I don't know if I've ever been that ready, honestly . . . Let me tell you, if there's any doubt, then there's no doubt you're not ready to come back. You have to be all in to take that job."

AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 13, 2012 The Oakland Raiders have extending their list of potential head-coaching candidates to Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, according to a league source. Miami Dolphins interim coach Todd Bowles will interview for the Raiders' head-coaching vacancy on Friday, and numerous executives throughout the league expect new Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie to give strong consideration to longtime Packers assistant coach Winston Moss as well. McKenzie, who was introduced by the Raiders on Tuesday, said he has a short list of candidates, but the offensive or defensive background of a coach will not influence the choice, and head-coaching experience isn't a prerequisite. He will give his head coach authority to hire his own staff. Regardless, McKenzie is likely to be bringing more Packers personnel with him to Oakland.
