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

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?

Dan Quinn declined the Jags interview request back in Dec. https://insidethestar.com/dan-quinn...uars-interview-request-for-head-coaching-job/

Here are my predictions (Changing now to add Saints HC opening) -

Broncos - Dan Quinn.

Jags - Byron Leftwich.

Vikings - Doug Pedersen.

Giants - Brian Daboll.

Texans - Brian Flores.

Dolphins - Vance Joseph.

Raiders - Jim Harbaugh.

Bears - Leslie Frazier

Saints - Dennis Allen

Click to expand...

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...
