Only one more NFL Job remaining, the Saints. McCarthy may or may not still be a candidate there. Several coaches were announced as getting 2nd interviews but McCarthy was not "officially" named as one of those. His name was mentioned again yesterday however, almost in passing as "potentially still being in play"

Last open job. Moore is one of finalists with Anthony Weaver and supposedly McCarthy (there's a 4th name too but I dont remember who it was)

Holy crap. Glad Jerry and Spawn didnt get to this guy.

Fat Mike announced this morning he is focusing on 2026 job openings now.

Translation- nobody wanted him

Raiders- nope
Patriots- nope
Jags- nope
Bears-nope
Cowboys- said they did, then they didnt
Aints- nope (appears they are going with Kellen Moore)

I don't like his chances, if he does get another HC gig, that'll make 5 coaches in a row and every coach since Jimmy (except Chan Gailey) who never coached in the NFL again after leaving Dallas

Chip Kelly the Raiders new OC, and getting paid well for it...

Their OC will make more than our HC.

How much does Schottenheimer make

Jerry is a notorious tightwad, so I'd be shocked if he paid a first time coach more than $5M.

He's ridiculously stupid and cheap when it comes to free agency, but it isnt true with the coaches. I'm not sure where people get this from (other than a comment made by blowhard Rex Ryan last yr)

There's been a number of position coaches and coordinators that were right at the top or at the top of the league in salaries. Just off the top of my head Norv Turner was after the 1992 super bowl win (got a raise for 93 season). Hudson Houck and Ernie Zampese were the highest paid. (Houck two different times), Garrett got a massive raise after the 2007 season and that's why he stayed instead of leaving for a HC job (it's unfortunate that happened). Bill Callahan was one of the top paid OL coaches when he was here. Rod Marinelli was the highest paid DL coach when we hired him. Dan Quinn and Mike Zimmer were both right at the top of highest paid Defensive Coordinators.

Of the head coaches, yes Chan Gailey and Dave Campo were both low paid, but they had not done anything to warrant a high salary. Jimmy was one of the highest paid coaches, Switzer actually was on the higher end. Parcells was the 2nd highest paid HC when Jones hired him. McCarthy's deal when he signed it put him on the fairly well paid end.
