Not at all. In fact, he was probably the one who was least likely to get the job going into it. Penner just knows what a good leader looks like.
"I've worked with a lot of great CEOs, and it starts with really strong leadership," Penner said. "I think that's going to be the most critical factor here in a head coach. Obviously the X's and O's are important, but we need a strong leader for this organization that's focused on winning. That starts with culture, it's instilling a sense of accountability, discipline, and we need an identity on offense. At the starting point, it's got to be about culture and leadership, and those characteristics are what we've focused on the most." [Reply]

Well, no. It won't be. Because Harbaugh and Payton told Denver to get fucked. [Reply]

That's right. Get to stroking....
It was just a week ago or so you were telling us they wouldn't hire a first time HC. And here you are.... [Reply]

Harbaugh hasn't signed a new contract with Mich. Payton wants to much but when the dust settles and the price comes down he could certainly be in the mix. Who knows. [Reply]
The only certainty that will come out of this coaching search is Denver will yet again be a bottom feeder regardless of the scapegoat wearing the headset [Reply]

The Jets now hire Hackett to be their OC and good chance ARod actually ends up in the AFC now.
Way to go General Pay-A-Ton. You really ****ed that up, didn't you? And now you're stuck with a declining DangeRuss for at least 3 more years and his shitty contract.

The 49ers have the league’s top-rated defense. Granted, their talent level is good, but Ryans is making them better. If he were a head coach and didn’t do well, I’d be shocked. The only question I’d have about him is if he would hire the right coordinators. Everything else is the very best you could have in a candidate.
Ryans is one of those guys who doesn’t do what he learned from the first person who taught him. Instead, he’s evolved into a coach whose philosophy and schemes are combinations of different things he’s learned along the way – and that’s something you don’t see often enough. In essence, he’s adaptable. Most coaches do what they originally learned and stick with it. But there’s a small number who evolve, with more complex schemes than they first learned, and DeMeco is one of them.
One other thing: He was coached by Reid and worked under Kyle Shanahan. So he’s been to places that have prepared him to be a head coach. Of all the people on this list, Ryans is the one I’m most confident would succeed.

The Panthers are no longer an option for Sean Payton. And there was an issue with Payton's interview with the Broncos. Payton likes the idea of coaching Russell Wilson and having that defense but fears a potential power struggle with a member of the ownership group, source says.
