    Still 4 HC openings: Arizona, Buffalo (best available by far), Cleveland, and Las Vegas​.
    More people withdrawing their names, no one being hired. Maybe waiting for Super Bowl coordinators to become available....

        I gotta go with Seattle 27-20, slight edges on both sides of the ball and Santa Clara is familiar ground

          Sounds about right. Early spread is Seattle -3.5; I expected 6 or 6.5​. They sure do look like the best team remaining. More depth, top defense, solid offense with Walker and Smith-Njigba. Patriots are solid everywhere and spectacular nowhere. Maye's legs are a plus. NE's only clear advantage imho is HC Vrabel. Which could be enough.

            I have family and friends up and down the west coast and in Seattle so I have to pull for them, plus Darnold is a great story

              Yes, another nice bonus for a Seattle win is that all my NYJ-supporting friends will all just completely lose their shlt.

            Seattle is clearly better so I have no doubt NE will win.

              given my performance in survivor I'm inclined to take NE and the spread

                  Updated Black Friday list:

                  New York Giants - fired Brian Daboll in November -- hired John Harbaugh as HC
                  Tennessee Titans - fired Brian Callahan in October -- hired Robert Saleh (SF DC) as HC
                  Atlanta Falcons - fired HC Raheem Morris (GM job open too) -- hired Kevin Stefanski as HC
                  Cleveland Browns - fired HC Kevin Stefanski -- hired Todd Monken (BALT OC) as HC
                  Baltimore Ravens - "parted ways" with HC John Harbaugh -- hired Jesse Minter (DC, LAC) as HC
                  Miami Dolphins - fired HC Mike McDaniel (GM job also open)​ -- hired 2 GB guys: Jeff Hafley (DC) as HC, Jon-Eric Sullivan (VP) as GM
                  Pittsburgh Steelers - HC Mike Tomlin walked away -- hired Mike McCarthy (ex-HC at GB, DAL) as HC
                  Buffalo Bills - fired HC Sean McDermott -- promoted OC Joe Brady to HC​
                  Arizona Cardinals - fired HC Jonathan Gannon
                  Las Vegas Raiders - fired HC Pete Carroll​

                  The Arizona frontrunner is Mike LaFleur (LAR OC). But out of the blue, they just interviewed Ron Rivera.
                  The heavy favorite for the Raiders is Klint Kubiak (SEA OC). Raiders gig is sweet because they get to draft QB Mendoza.

                      Minnesota has fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. This was a surprise, as Adofo-Mensah was down scouting the Senior Bowl when he got the news.

                      The Vikings' season ended a month ago. Then Sam Darnold makes it to the Super Bowl and they fire the guy who let him walk after a 14-3 season.

                        Good free agent moves, bad draft classes.

                          Tough position for Minny and the GM, Darnold is more of a game manager than the elite passer/scrambler. He's the kind of QB who isn't supposed to take his team to the SB ;-)

                            Looks like the Raiders are committed to making Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak their new head coach immediately after his Super Bowl commitment.
