Head Coach

[58crash]

After the Browns fired Hue Jackson ESPN put out a list of potential candidates to replace him. I thought since this may be something that happens in Denver I would post the list here.

• Mike McCarthy. This assumes the Packers move on from McCarthy at season's end, which is far from a certainty. But if it happens, expect a front office packed with former Packers executives to put McCarthy at the top of their list.
  
  
• Lincoln Riley. The Oklahoma head coach is on the radar of a lot of NFL teams if he decides he wants to try the NFL. He has been mentioned several times as a potential Jason Garrett replacement in Dallas if they decide to make a change. The Mayfield connection makes him an obvious target for the Browns if he's available.
  
  
• Matt Campbell. He's the head coach at Iowa State and is said to be well regarded by Browns GM John Dorsey.
  
  
• Eric Bieniemy. Succeeded Matt Nagy as Chiefs offensive coordinator this year. May be too inexperienced at this point, but teams really like to hire Andy Reid guys.
  
  
• Jim Harbaugh. NFL people still think the Michigan coach will want another crack at the pros. He'll be a hot candidate in several places when/if that happens.
  
  
• Urban Meyer. Hey, he's big in Ohio.
  
  
• Brian Flores. Well-regarded Patriots defensive coach who got some attention on last year's interview circuit. He'd have to come with a strong offensive coordinator and a plan for Mayfield, but those who know him rave about his leadership qualities.
  
  
• John DeFilippo. Jumped from Eagles QBs coach to Vikings offensive coordinator following Philly's Super Bowl title. He's a former Browns offensive coordinator who's from Youngstown.
  
  
• Dan Campbell. He was once the Dolphins' interim head coach and remains an intriguing head-coaching prospect for teams. Currently on Sean Payton's staff with the Saints, who may be in the midst of a special season.
  
  
• Zac Taylor. He's the Rams' quarterbacks coach and, like Bieniemy, may still be too green for an assignment like this. But a lot of teams are going to want to try to get a piece of what Sean McVay's doing out there in L.A.
  
  
• Dave Toub. The Chiefs' special teams coach always seems to be on these lists, and NFL people believe he'll get a shot eventually. Could it come under former Chiefs GM Dorsey?
  
  
• George Edwards. The Vikings' defensive coordinator is another guy who gets attention every year but no job offers. His time will come.
  
  
• Teryl Austin. Bengals defensive coordinator. Ditto what we said for Edwards.

Mike McCarthy would fit the bill of what some have stated as the desired next head coach if VJ is relieved of his duties. Offensive minded coach with head coaching experience. Todd Haley and Hue Jackson fit that bill too, but McCarthy has had way more success.
