The NFL coaching carousel is heating up and AlbertBreer has the latest buzz on candidates for the Broncos, Panthers and Colts, plus other potential openings
Imagine you’re hiring a top executive for a Fortune 500 company, and you’re competing with other top executives for candidates. Over the years, there’s been a lot of turnover in the industry, and a small number of companies have had success pulling from a particular pool of candidates. Other companies have tried to mine the same pool to varying degrees of success to the point where the pool ran dry.
Meanwhile, just five defensive coaches in that age range got their first shot, and only 11 coaches with previous NFL head-coaching experience were hired.I think Monday we’re going to see the resulting reality of all this—the pool of young offensive coaches isn’t as prevalent as defensive coaches. As I see it, you have a handful of young offensive coordinators that’ll be in the mix, but the numbers are on defense, where a backlog of capable candidates are waiting.
• I’d say the same goes for Broncos GM George Paton and Colts GM Chris Ballard—two of the most respected on their side of the business. Which brings us to the belles of the ball. • Meanwhile, there’s an expectation that Broncos CEO Greg Penner’s first search as Denver boss will be focused on experienced names. He, and minority owner Condoleezza Rice, as well as Broncos icon John Elway,, and I’d expect Harbaugh to be in the mix for this one. Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is another obvious name to watch, given the job he’s done in Dallas, and his connections to both Paton and Wilson .
