NFl Help Wanted- Almost Done or not?

[Rdskns2000]

Well 2 of the current 5 openings are filled. Though 2 more could be filled soon with the Raiders hiring the USC offensive coordinator and Steelers hiring our own Russ Grimm.

Dolphins are all over the map; who knows what they will do.

Still there could be more help wanted. Shotty is all but gone.

Steelers may wait to see if he's available to interview him. Same with Dolphins.

I think Chargers should make a run at Pete Carroll. Cam Cameroon would also be a candidate. He was a big part of the Chargers going 14-2. When the Chargers have their opening, I would also put Al Saunders in that mix. He's very familiar with that division. Plus, wasn't he the Chargers coach in the 80's?


The only other opening could be in Dallas. Parcells probably will dragg this to the last possible date.

CARROLL-TO-CHARGERS COMING?

We've gotten an uncorroborated tip from one of our friends in the media regarding the possibility that the San Diego Chargers will immediately target USC coach Pete Carroll if, as has been reported, Marty Schottenheimer is fired on Monday.

The talk is that Carroll would want control over the football operations, which means that G.M. A.J. Smith would have to take a back seat.

But we think, frankly, that the Chargers should take it one step farther and send Smith out the door with Schottenheimer. Smith has done a decent job of acquiring talent, but in a quest to build a winner Smith has picked up more than his share of losers, as evidenced by the string of arrests and other embarrassments this season.

There's also a rumor that Carroll wants $7 million per year to make the jump to the NFL from USC, and that if the move is made it will happen "real quick."

But keep this in mind. Under the Rooney Rule, it can't happen as fast as Carroll or the Chargers might like. Instead, the Spanoseses must interview at least one minority candidate before hiring Carroll. And if the available minority candidates believe that Carroll is getting the job, it might be hard to convince one or more of them to sit for the job.

PFT aside, it won't sense for the Chargers to go after Carroll.

What I find shocking is that James Lofton may now be the guys the Raiders hire?
