NFL Black Monday Thread

How so? He has a really good thing going and wants to be selective in the next situation because when a team is changing coaches it's always going to be a really heavy lift. He's only 38 years old and has plenty of time to be a head coach. Winning on the other hand is something that's really hard to do in the NFL and he has full autonomy in one of the best offenses in the NFL. So I think it's actually really refreshing to see a young coach have enough self awareness to not jump at any HC job and wait for one that feels right. That's how we ended up with Payton instead of the Raiders getting him the year prior.

It is possible to miss your window though. Slowik isn't expected to be as hot as he was a year ago for instance. There's also a chance he gets fired in the future and wants a job with one of the organizations he's turning his nose up at now. At least Payton interviewed with the Raiders.
