Black Monday for NFL Coaches

[DJL]

So far 5 NFL teams will be looking for new coaches for next season:

Washington
Minnesota
Detroit
Tampa
Cleveland

I'm sure there will be some college coaches that get some consideration.

Now that Bill O'brien is gone, who is everyone fighting over?

I think BOB is all but gone. The other names that may be out there are David Shaw, Kevin Sumlin, and maybe even Brian Kelly?

BOB hasn't left yet, correct (unless I missed something in the last 20 minutes)? Any chance he stays at PSU?

He hasn't left yet, but he is on the top of everyone's list, and there are plenty of rumors. I would be surprised if he stayed, but he did make "promises" to the players when they decided to stick around and play for him.

If BOB doesn't go to Texas he should definitely consider Detroit because I think he could do wonders with Stafford and Megatron. Oh boy. I don't think Sumlin is going anywhere. He just signed a huge extension. Brian Kelly I could see going pro out of those listed above.

That's what I thought.

I understand the cut throat nature of coaching, but I would hope he would stay for a little while yet; simply because of the promise he made to the players.

There are stories out there that say the Penn State AD is going after Greg Shiano, so I think the writing is on the wall.

'Penn State is preparing to lose Bill O'Brien' and looking at Greg Schiano, NFL Network reports | PennLive.com

Here's a link to one of those articles. IMO, the situation paints a less than stellar portrait of BOB.
Side note: I'd like to be a fly on the wall during O'Brien's and Hackenberg's convo.
