Ranking The Chances For First Time Champions 6-4

Number 6 Coach Trent New Orleans Saints

I really personally have liked the resume that coach OT has put together last cycle. He came in for a superbowl winning coach in Coach Roc and while he did not win a superbowl with that Bucs team he showed a lot of promise coming in and picking things up quite well early. The Saints are his hometown team so for some users that can be a kiss of death, however I thought he made good moves in the offseason every one of them he was here last cycle so I expect him to navigate his homer heart just fine. Judging by the Trade Block I have seen him post as well he is definitely looking to capitalize on some of these veteran players he has and turn them into younger assets for a longer term return. The Saints play in a division with Spittah and Kelly who in Spittah’s case is searching for his first title as well (more on that later) and in Kelly’s case one of the most decorated Redzone coaches we have. The Falcons will also be a wildcard in this division so OT will need to make some good moves and win some games against some stiff competition in order to hit the goal of a championship this cycle. I believe he has a great chance to do that and all it takes is him getting hot for a couple of games to go on a magical run. Iron will sharpen iron here and Trent could be your newest first time Redzone Champ.

Number 5 Coach Spencer Minnesota Vikings

Coach Spencer enjoyed a good run there with the Cardinals last cycle. He made it further into the playoffs than he ever had before and played a bunch of good teams on his way to an NFC title game. He did not make the jump at that point but I could see him making the jump once he gets this situation in Minnesota figured out. Spencer’s cycle will be about trying to find the right guy to play the most important position in football for him the Quarterback. Minnesota offensively will need some work up front but having a playmaker like Justin Jefferson for a coach and QB combo to lean will be important in the long term. Cannot forget Seminole great Dalvin Cook who will try to put this running game on his back and propel it to new heights under coach Spencer. On defense he will need to move to youth as his best players are either on or approaching the wrong of side of the dreaded 30-year-old mark. What Spencer does to solve his barren Cornerback room for example will define how the Vikings are seen this cycle on defense. Spencer has an excellent chance to go very far and win a championship if he can figure out what he wants to do with this team.

Number 4 Coach JP Tennessee Titans

Who says you can’t go home? JP spent some time away but he is back now, and I expect to see some great things from him this cycle. Young offensive core including a rookie QB/WR combo if he chooses to use them right out of the gate. JP has been out there looking to actively improve this team too and I expect him to go for it early on this cycle. This Titans team he took this time around is much better than the Bears team he ran with last cycle and even before the restart he was off to a red hot start. Things slowed down a bit, however having a back like Derrick Henry I fully expect to see him lean on his run game more than he did last cycle. He is switching to a 4-3 and the Titans have pieces on defense that can make this group play well at times. Another guy in the back half of the defense to go with Byard and to help a Cornerback room that is lacking is a must for long term success. A lot of you may be surprised to see that I ranked JP so high, I just really love the fit of the coach and team even in a loaded AFC this should be the year we call JP a champion.
