I'm well aware of Sean Payton's resume. He was the Giants OC 9 years ago. They took his playcalling duties away as I recall. I don't see what that has to do with a glorified QB coach who hasn't called a play in his life. All you have to do is bid over 2.5 mil and he's yours. I'll promote from within as we did 2 yrs ago when we lost Doug maronne (OC title but really was an OL coach). Carmichael 2 mil - Saints Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Honestly, Im not going to go to the max to get him. I have another candidate in mind. Giants bid 1.5M on Packers QB coach Tom Clements and promote him to Offensive Coordinator.
Kansas City bids 1.6 mil on Russ Grimm for OC. (Sorry Sec, but Grimm worked with Haley in Arizona so it's a good fit).
The Broncos offer Lovie Smith a $3.0M contract to be their defense coordinator in 2011. The Broncos also up their contract offer to Charlie Weis to $3.0M.
I have flipped a coin to decide the winner of the Lovie Smith sweepstakes. Heads was Denver, Tails was Indianapolis. After the flip, it was Tails and that means Indianapolis gets the rights to Lovie Smith.
Titans offer Auburn head Coach Gene Chizik a 5 year/$28M contract, with a 2011 base salary of $5M, to fill their head coaching vacancy. Titans also fire OC Mike Hiemerdinger, and offer Brad Childress $2.5M to fill the new vacancy. Titans also offer Packers Assistant Head Coach/Inside Linebackers coach Winston Moss the position of Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator at $2.5M.
