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:
John Donovan - Defensive Coordinator - Toronto North
Mark Carpenter - Offensive Coordinator - Memphis Pharaohs
Gary Stout - Offensive Coordinator - Edmonton Herd
Alex Baldwin - Defensive Coordinator - Windsor Gamblers
Denver Villanueva - Offensive Coordinator - New Orleans Reapers
Vaughn Haynes - Offensive Coordinator - Seattle Totems

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:
Mark Carpenter leaves the Pharaohs to become the head coach for the New Orleans Reapers.

Darren Francis:
I think the Totems lose Vaughn Haynes and I see him heading to New Orleans Reapers.

Jim Nox:
I see Denver Villanueva being promoted to head coach of the New Orleans Reapers.

Jeremy Piper:
John Donovan is certainly on the move. That means North will need a new coordinator. As for where Donovan ends up? Well, I think New Orleans Reapers is a good bet.
