“NFL OWNERS…LOOKING FOR COACHES”
========
A most interesting time in the NFL, as these 10-job openings begin to fill up.
An interesting time looking at one trait across the board in some of the cities, bad ownership. Not in every case, but in many cases. A team-by-team look:
RAVENS…Greatness in Steve Bisciotti, who has guided Baltimore in a near two decade run, but he felt the messenger and the message had gotten old. Star QB, tremendous RB, young defense, good draft record. We see if he makes the right hire.
STEELERS..The Rooney family has owned this franchise since the 1930s. A foundation of stability, values, integrity and trust. But they need a ‘reset’ in what they do on offense, in the draft, and what they run. Will the next hire be an offensive mind or come off a defensive tree. As great as they are, they are not what they were.
GIANTS…Iconic Mara-Tish ownership fabric, but have lost their way with GM-hires and in turn coaching hires. The sweep to get a proven winner, John Harbaugh, signals a new approach. Had to considering they are (44-104-1) since Tom Coughlin left a decade back
TITANS..Huge-huge issue with leadership decisions, front office feuds, coaching mistakes. The late Bud Adams must be turning over in his grave. Just because you are from a football family does not mean who can be what your dad used to be.
ATLANTA..A great civic minded owner in Arthur Blank, a brilliant business man, but mistakes in his football business. We see if Kevin Stefanski can bring this franchise back quickly.
CLEVELAND…Dysfunction junction-owner, interference and it goes on and on for team Haslam. They have problems everywhere.
MIAMI..Steven Ross may be rich, but this Dolphin run is nowhere near the legacy that Don Shula left behind decades ago. If you screw up at quarterback, it takes years to recover.
BUFFALO…They rebuilt it under Marv Levy, then did it again under Sean McDermott, but Terry Pegula seems impulsive and out of touch. The talent base is superb and they hope the right hire takes them over the top before the clock runs out on Josh Allen. Should have stayed the course.
ARIZONA..A nightmare for a long time, even if they won under Bruce Arians, who vacated. If you want to track something, figure out how many head coaches have failed there, and how many front office lawsuits Michael Bidwill is involved in. Searching for stability, won’t get it there.
RAIDERS..Mark Davis, you are not Al Davis. Maybe Tom Brady can make a difference. But the first set of choices, the Pete Carroll hire, was disastrous. All you need to know about Raiders football is this: since 2002-their last playoff win, the Mark Davis led franchise is (131-242). The scoreboard does not lie.
Rate Em…some good gone off track. Alot of bad out there in the ownership ranks.
