You know on the bubble if you will including bill bich of course keeping an eye he I don’t know he said retirement’s overrated I think that means we’re overrated guys more on that later no MOS is belich was asked about his future this week and he responded exactly how you’d think he Would I’ve always appreciated the opportunity and um you know just looking forward to you know tomorrow’s game or SU game against the Jets and like I said trying to put our best game out there this year um that’s what we’re working towards so sure it’ll be a time another time to
Um talk about other other things but right now we’re just trying to focus on the Jets well we’ve been talking a lot about it it is that time of year where we’re all speculating on who’s in and who’s out in the coaching Carousel Adam let’s start with Bill bich here well before we
Start with Bill bich I want to dedicate this segment to the legendary Chris mortson this safe or out segment Sam was his favorite segment of the year every year nobody loved doing this like more so we’re going to try to honor more here today when we talk about all the coaches
Who are safe and in and out on the last Sunday of the season with Bill Bel you mentioned if he wants the coach again remember when we talked about Tom Brady leaving New England and how every team in the league should evaluate their quarterbacks situation and decide
Whether or not they should move on from their quarterback well bill belich is available and I can tell you that the widespread feeling around the league is that he’s going to be available why would every team not look at their coaching situation and wonder we’re leaning out on Bill bich that this will
Wind up dissolving on Monday or Tuesday or whenever it does Mike ree said their schedule to me Monday everybody believes he’s going to be moving on and the question of the offseason will be where does Bill bich coach next because Sam he wants to coach next all right that
Dramatic stamp really really seals it let’s get to these interm coaches starting with Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas what are you hearing the Raiders owner Mark Davis has a big decision to make and he’s got support amongst key players there in Las Vegas the last time he moved away from the interim head
Coach that had suppored players en rich bachia and went with Josh McDaniels it didn’t work out this time he may have learned his lesson unless unless Mark Davis decides to make a major push for Jim Harbaugh we will say that Antonio Pierce we leaning in but Mark Davis is
Interested in other people and we have to see how that’s going to play out before Antonio Pierce would get that job keeping his options open all right let’s get to the Chargers on GIF Smith GIF Smith obviously is going to be out now the question is what do the Chargers do
Next Once GIF Smith is out and I can tell you that there’s a lot of focus in Los Angeles amongst getting a bigname coach would that be Jim Harbaugh in La the Chargers definitely have checked into him to see how he would fit he’s played quarterback for the Chargers in
The past they’ve also I think are going to be monitoring the bill bich situation we’ll see how that goes but GI Smith will be out and where the charges go with Justin Herbert next is really interesting the other interim head coach of course is Chris Taber the Panthers
Head coach he’s going to be out the Panthers are going to be conducting a widespread search they want to get somebody to bring in with Bryce young they already moved on from Frank Reich the feeling is they’ll move on from their general manager Scott fitterer so more changes in Carolina Sam all right
Let’s move on to some coaches we’ve been here in are on the hot seat starting in Washington with Ron Rivera what are you hearing about Ron well he knows and everybody expects he’s going to be out at some point in time we can put up the out graphic on Ron Rivera today’s his
Birthday so I don’t think the organization is going to go ahead and fire him on his birthday they’ll wait till this week they’ll move on from them at some point in time and when a new owner comes in and spends 6.05 billion he’s going to want to do the
Organization the way he wants it done as for the Falcons and their head coach Arthur Smith here’s the issue we’re going to say leaning out but they could win the division today and that could change things you don’t know but here’s what we do know we do know that Arthur
Blank has been checking around into other head coaching candidates we do know that he’s said to be torn and because of all that evidence we’ll say leaning out on Arthur Smith though he has the chance to change some Minds today as for Dennis alen the Saints head
Coach we’re going to say leaning in the Saints think that they have a good thing going there they’d like to keep it going now what happens today if the saints come out play a terrible game at the end some decisions it sounds like there’s going to be some change on the coaching
Staff it doesn’t sound like it will involve Dennis Allen we’ll move out to Chicago and Matt IO we’re leaning in right now despite the fact that there was speculation earlier in the year that he could be out the Bears have finished strong they’ve played well they have draft Capital the players have liked
Playing for him and we’re going to say leaning in right now leaning safe for Matt iberus okay so how about some of these coaches a little more surprising to see on the list starting with Mike Vel in Tennessee what are you hearing well here’s what I’d like to say this
One is truly up in the air now I’m going to say leaning safe out of respect to the type of coach that Mike vel’s been and all that he’s accomplished but I can tell you that this situation is unsettled there is no solution and there going to be organizational meetings at
Some point maybe as ear this week that to determine whether Mike Vel moves on or whether he stays there’s been speculation that he’d like to leave he has said that he’d like to stay there’s been speculation that he could be traded away obviously we know the ties to New
England in the past will’ll say leaning safe but his future is very much in question we’ll move on to another guy right now that there’s been some speculation about Mike tomin people in Pittsburgh want him fire they’re not firing Mike Tomlin but here’s the thing that’s interesting he’s got a year left
On his contract and there are some people around the league who believe that Mike Talman could decide eventually to take some time off like Shawn pton did maybe take a year off we’ll see if that’s something that’s on his mind we’re leaning safe but Mike tomin gets
To dictate what happens here not the Pittsburgh Steelers they not firing him he’s staying on but he’s staying on if he wants to if he decides that he’d like to walk well that’s a different subject and maybe there’s a team out there he’s from Washington he loves Los Angeles
Maybe one of them wants to Lava call into the Steelers to see if they could wind up doing something in and the other one and there a couple other ones Mike McCarthy the Dallas Cowboys head coach is in a situation right now where many people have said that his future will be
Determined by how Dallas’s last game of the season Goes he

No one has said McCarthy's future will be determined by the last game of the season. They have said and Jerry as well, that his future will be determined by what happens in the playoffs. It's NFC championship or bust supposedly.
Bellicheat will be there next year. The Patriots are going to get a QB in the upcoming draft and Kraft is not going to trust anyone else with that responsibility.
People actually take Schefter seriously?
Tomlin on the hotseat? 🤣
Tomlin is a true GOAT, but he’s not developing players or making the team refreshed.
Bill coming back to the Giants somehow would be special
What about having the eagles coaches up there
And Arthur Smith is gone before anyone Lmao
Bust of a segment. Labeled “safe or not” and all they do is say maybe for everything. Where’s the bold takes lol
U mean bill belecheck that has a losing record with out brady why srupid
Zac Taylor hopefully
Fire Dennis Allen
Imagine a league where Bill belichick is not safe in his job but Matt eberflus is 😂make it make sense
Imagine getting fired on your birthday ??? 😭😭😭😭
Mike Tomlin has his team in the playoffs?
They fired him on his birthday…
Belichick always seemed like an overrated coach especially in 2024 with all these young progressive offensive head coaches nowadays. Bill was always a good defensive coach and good gm, drafting through the trenches and convincing skill players with issues elsewhere to come to the pats but the patriots had the Charlie Weiss/Brady era and the McDaniels/Brady era twice and won with those tandems on offense. Getting belichick without a good qb and good play caller probably won’t work
Doug Pederson should be on this list
I’m sorry but I’ve finally come to the realization Brady 100% made belechick
Secondly, I believe he is still stuck in the past. The game has moved on . We are in an era of mobile/dual threat qbs.
Belechick still thinks you can win a Tom Brady/Peyton manning type.
That’s not the case.
He should retire in all honesty
I don’t know how you can rationalize bringing back Dennis Allen after two straight years of more cap help and kicking the can down the road and still missing the playoffs
How did the Jets-Salah not make this list?
Why is Pete Carroll not on this list? I hear the fan base chanting for the team to move on.
TOMLIN is in the Playoffs and he STILL on the list?
Never had a losing season
it's clearly A RACE ISSUE! 😡
while Sean Payton had 2 7-9 seasons after a year suspension with A top 5 QB of all time. he have won more games than Sean, both have a ring and 2 SB appearances
While Sean made Russ the escape goat
Chargers will not look for belicheck if they do the fan base is gone
Robert S. Jets Dave D. Giants
Not on the list
Both should be on. Both OUT !!!!
Bring bill billicheck to chicago and let him coach caleb williams
Tomlin is on that list primarily because of the expectations for the Steelers every year. Idk how he won 10 games in 2023 and make the playoffs without a QB.
