Now that Thompson's seat has unexpectedly opened, Mike Florio over at ProFootballTalk seems to think both John Dorsey and John Schneider are going to regret signing on (or in Schneider's case, re-upping with) their respective teams. I tend to think they're feeling just fine about their decisions. Unless Dorsey is able to work a complete culture change in Cleveland, it's not like he's probably long for that job anyway. He'll be able to move on soon enough. 😝 As for Schneider, it's not likely that Paul Allen would have felt inclined to release him anyway, and he's in a great situation with an organization that has been a perennial contender for several years now. I imagine he's comfortable right where he's at.

You know, I've had my suspicions for years about Ted Thompson. He's always given off that gender-bender vibe, you know? I have to admire him for his courage in finally coming out and embracing his true identity.

🇹🇹

What if the new GM, wants a new head coach?

Would a new general manager lose anything by giving McCarthy one year to prove himself under a new regime? With the defensive coordinator and the general manager out (even granting the possibility that Thompson was mostly a figurehead the past year), that's arguably a lot of turmoil for an organization to deal with all at once.

However, if they promote from within, it's likely that the new GM will give Mike an honest chance.

As for John Schneider, I believe Pete Carroll has officially has "final control of the 53-man roster"... I wonder if a GM job officially offering "final control of the 53-man roster" would be a promotion. If so, they might be allowed to hire John Schneider though a loophole, though it would most likely be frown upon. But even if they could do that (which I'm not sure of)... I'm guessing they're simply going to hire Wolf.

Well that’s certainly good news.
Hopefully he will have no influence over anything.
I still don’t think he knows where he is from day to day.

Who hires the DC? MM or the new GM. It would seem to me to be MM.

If you were an experienced DC, you would not want to come into an organization where your boss might be gone in a year. Accordingly, don't be surprised to see MM get extended for at least a year or two before any decision on DC is made. The delay caused by negotiations could be costly.

The only exception is if an internal candidate is named.
