Imagine Pete Carroll 15 million will be next at 72 and Bill Belchick 71 and his 20 million salary next youngster 65 year old Andy Reid and his 14 million will retire when Chiefs lose.

I think NE should part ways with Belichick and they should hire Mike Vrabel. They could leave Belichick as the GM only if he would accept that role.

Please NO!

They need an entire make-over. No Belly, Mayo, Vrabel and please don't bring back McDaniels.
This team needs a fresh start with no "ties" to old staffs.

I respect your viewpoint Fanatic as obviously you follow the team with a lot of passion, but I would suggest a team like the Chargers should clean house and all ties to the past since they have never won anything and the last coach was a disaster. Doing the same think in NE doesn't make sense to me as the legacy is a dynasty represented by seven SB wins. Vrabel is a guy who has been able to adjust his approach to today's athlete and seems to overachieve year-after-year. I could see Belichick still coaching and Tannenbaum as GM.

^ Tannebaum has already ran both the Jets and Dolphins

He was AWFUL at both.

Always makes me laugh when he criticizes the dolphins moves when he was AWFUL when he was here

Wink Martindale resigns as Giants defensive coordinator.​

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Wink Martindale has resigned as the New York Giants' defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN.
Martindale's rocky relationship with coach Brian Daboll was at the heart of the divorce. It was reported during the season that the two were in a "bad place." The relationship did not improve dramatically down the stretch, according to another source close to the situation.
The Giants also fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins and his brother Kevin Wilkins on Monday.
The Wilkins brothers were two of Martindale's top assistants after coming with him from Baltimore. They were fired when it was clear Martindale would not return for a third season with the Giants.
The Giants defense ranked 27th overall this past season but tied for the NFL lead with 31 takeaways. They were the team's best unit during a disappointing 6-11 season.
Daboll said earlier Monday that he expected Martindale and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka to return. They were both still under contract for another year. That was also before he had an opportunity to speak with his two remaining coordinators.
"It's my expectation that they're going to come back. I think they're good coaches. So it would be good to have some continuity and be back," Daboll said. "I know Wink talks about this as a destination place and things like that. It's good. I appreciate how hard they work, the commitment to the team. So that is my plan."
Martindale had said on multiple occasions that he did not view the Giants as a stepping-stone job, instead as a destination. But his relationship with Daboll made staying in New York untenable.
The 60-year-old coordinator wants to win and is expected to draw plenty of interest as a coordinator in this hiring cycle. He was also a head-coaching candidate the past few years, including for the Giants when they hired Daboll two years ago.
Both of New York's last two opponents -- the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams -- raved about Martindale's schemes after playing against his defense.
Martindale chose his words carefully last week when he was asked about his future.
"I mean I think the future is bright if you're asking me how I look at my future," he said. "I think that these are things that you talk about after the season is over with because [Daboll] wants to beat Philly and I want to beat Philly, and I just think that those answers will come later on in the [next] week as far as which way we go."
It came to a head Monday with Martindale offering his resignation. The Giants will now be looking to replace at least two coordinators.
Running backs coach Jeff Nixon also recently accepted the offensive coordinator position at Syracuse and strength and conditioning coach Craig Fitzgerald was named director of football performance at Florida.

Thats not the reson Smith was upset. He didnt like that the Saints ran up the score instead of taking a knee.

Yes I'm Well Aware Of That. Allen Told Winston To Take A Knee But Winston Didn't Listen To Him And Wanted To Let Williams Get A TD Because He Didn't Score All Year. Of Course Smith Wasn't Going To Yell At The Players For Doing It He Was Going To Yell At Allen.

Bears to keep head coach Matt Eberflus, fire OC Luke Getsy.​

The Chicago Bears have made the first two decisions in what will be a pivotal offseason, bringing back head coach Matt Eberflus for the 2024 season while firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
Sources told ESPN that the Bears opted to keep Eberflus after extensive meetings Monday and Tuesday.
The Bears announced Wednesday afternoon that Getsy and four other offensive assistants -- quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, running backs coach Omar Young and assistant tight ends coach Tim Zetts -- were fired.
Eberflus, general manager Ryan Poles and team president Kevin Warren are scheduled to hold a news conference Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
The moves come three days after the completion of Eberflus and Getsy's second season with the Bears. The Bears went 7-10 this season but showed signs of promise down the stretch, winning four of their last six games.
Eberflus is 10-24 in two seasons with Chicago after spending the previous 13 years as a defensive assistant coach in the NFL, capped by a four-year stretch as the Colts' defensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021.
Chicago's offense showed improvement this season, but it was ultimately not enough for Chicago to move forward with Getsy.
The Bears face a monumental decision at quarterback this offseason and whether they will stick with Justin Fields entering his fourth season or use the No. 1 draft pick on a rookie quarterback.
