upon reflection. i like what Mike McDaniel can do for Justin Herbert. i might love what he'll get out of Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. this is a fit beyond "two football weirdos, together at last"

Mike McDaniel has everything he needs with Justin Herbert and Chargers
McDaniel's whole vibe is getting the most out of quarterbacks. Now he gets a stud whose stats and success have yet to match his game tape.

not sure if the Browns were ever seriously interested in him, but pulling out of Cleveland's coaching search to pound the rock and glasses of whole milk under Jim Harbaugh feels like an entire statement about the Browns
NEWS: The Chargers are expected to hire former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel as their next OC, sources tell me and Daniel Popper.
McDaniel has been a hot commodity this cycle, interviewing for both head coach and offensive coordinator roles. In the end, he opts for L.A.

alright so for Vanderbilt to win a national title we just need a former head coach to become a beloved on-air personality for about 3 decades before retiring in a way that makes everyone happy-sad

alright let's talk about the new Dolphins head coach who, without Micah Parsons, engineered the league's 26th-best defense (but did win a Fenway Bowl)
ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Jeff Hafley, 2 years removed from college washout, will coach Dolphins
Hafley's Packers defense slumped through 2025 and especially after losing Micah Parsons. That didn't deter Miami.

Jeff Hafley's 2025 Packers defense with Micah Parsons on the field:

Hafley's 2025 D w/o Parsons:
0.143 EPA/snap, 26th-best, 0-4 record

any time you can hire the coordinator who generated the NFL's 9th-best defense with only four former first-round picks and one of the greatest edge rushers in NFL history through the start of his career, you gotta do it

A source tells @mikesilver.bsky.social that former Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is being hired by the Lions.
Adam Schefter was on it.

neither of the 2 HCs to represent the AFC in 9 of last 10 Super Bowls were in the 2026 playoffs

A Chiefs-less NFL playoffs created the AFC's head coach vacuum
Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh and Sean McDermott couldn't win the AFC when it was its most wide open in a decade. Now they're unemployed.
