Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Shane Workman - Defensive Coordinator - San Diego Chargers
Fred Harmon - Offensive Coordinator - Pittsburgh Steelers
Terrence Young - Offensive Coordinator - Philadelphia Eagles
Brian Mchenry - Defensive Coordinator - Minnesota Vikings
Winfred Mattson - Offensive Coordinator - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Steven Rousseau - Defensive Coordinator - Los Angeles Raiders

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Brian Mchenry leaves the Vikings to become the head coach for the New Orleans Saints.

Darren Francis:
I think the Eagles lose Terrence Young and I see him heading to New Orleans Saints.

Jim Nox:
The Steelers cannot hold on to Fred Harmon. I would like to see him coach the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jeremy Piper:
Terrence Young is certainly on the move. That means Eagles will need a new coordinator. As for where Young ends up? Well, I think Pittsburgh Steelers is a good bet.
