Hey Yo: Sports Talk with Some Southern Swagger

So far, we are up to 7 Head Coach openings so I am going to rank them in order most desirable to least desirable, will keep this updated if there are more jobs that come open, looking at you NYJ, Cincy (surely that statement they released today was a mistake), and Tampa. The one thing I will note is that I found myself moving teams down the list instead of up the list when I was making it so if you are shocked that teams are so high on my list it was more about how bad some of these franchises are instead of how good these franchises are.

1. Baltimore – Early prediction is Kevin Stefanski as a Bud Adams double bird salute to Cleveland.
   • Pros: Lamar Jackson, competent franchise in a great division for long-term success, and a team that has consistently won for what feels like the last 20 years.
   • Cons: You have to live in/around Baltimore.
2. Tennessee Titans –
   • Pros: They have a franchise QB (I think), they have a GM that has some positive momentum, tons of cap space to work with, no state income tax, and they move into a new stadium in 2027.
   • Cons: Roster has a ton of holes so realistically the Titans are still a couple years away from being competitive and the Amy Adams Strunk is one of the worst owners in the NFL.
3. Las Vegas Raiders
   • Pros: No state income tax and #1 pick in the draft to get a QB. Jeanty and Bowers are 2 players that have All Pro potential.
   • Cons: Roster with more holes than the Titans (didn’t think that was possible).
4. New York Giants
   • Pros: Love the DL they have put together I feel like that is a great foundation on that side of the ball.
   • Cons: I’m not a believer in Dart or Skattebo. Might be a hot take but ultimately, I think injuries will be the constant theme with these two and as the saying goes availability is the best ability. Dart visited the blue tent 5 different games for a concussion check which isn’t sustainable for a career and Skattebo isn’t going to make guys miss he’s going to take on hit after hit after hit and eventually all those hits will break him down. Also you have to deal with the NY media which is just a constant cycle of drama that I wouldn’t want to deal with.
5. Atlanta Falcons
   • Pros: They have some nice pieces, weak division, and my favorite NFL stadium I have been to (100% related to the concession prices).
   • Cons: QB Purgatory
6. Miami Dolphins
   • Pros: Can’t get a much better location for a Pro Sports franchise than Miami.
   • Cons: Your best player is a RB, no clue what they do or where they go with QB, and they are in a division with Josh Allen and Drake Maye.
7. Arizona Cardinals
   • Pros: If I could pick anywhere in the US to live, Arizona would be high on my list.
   • Cons: QB Purgatory
8. Cleveland Browns
   • Pros:
   • Cons: Franchise Purgatory
