Coaching Carousel: Who lands where? Predictions... Tracker?

[olyfan63]

Who winds up as HC where?
NFL.Com candidates and interviews tracker: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-coaching-g ... ring-cycle

Below are my throwing-a-blindfolded dart starter predictions; what are yours?
======================================
1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dan Quinn (Why: Jax was called "Seahawks East" in Gus Bradley era, Quinn is logical choice)

2. Minnesota Vikings - Raheem Morris (Vikings like D and Morris's D has a recent record of brilliant playoff performances)

3. NY Giants - BTFOM, some unlucky SOB will have to take on this fuster-cluck

4. Denver Broncos - Eric Bienemy (Recall he's a Colorado Buffs guy IIRC)

5. Chicago Bears - Nathaniel Hackett (tiebreaker: hurts division rival Packers)

6. Miami Dolphins - Doug Pederson (won SB with Nick Foles, imagine what he can do with Tua) Alternate pick: Mike McDaniel, 49ers OC (It just seems trendy and Miami needs a good offensive coach for Tua's continued development)

7. LV Raiders - Jerod Mayo (Why fight it, Raiders seem to like him) Alternate: Doug Pederson

8. Houston Texans - Brian Flores (Flores has shown he can make an undertalented roster competitive)
======================================
My picks suck? Of course they do! Can you do better? For sure I draw a blank on who would be able to fix the NY Giants mess. I'd say Doug Pederson, but why, oh why, would he go there?

3. NY Giants - BTFOM, some unlucky SOB will have to take on this fuster-cluck

BTW, BTFOM is "Beats The Fluff Outa Me", but in this context I realize it could easily also mean "Butt Fluff Of the Month" . Choose whichever interpretation suits your feelings for any hirings that leave you slapping your forehead and going "Really??!! Really??!!"

The Giants did hire a GM, and it's unknown at this time which acronym meaning is the corrrect one, but it's the Giants braintrust making the call, so going by recent history...
