The Pittsburgh Penguins are scheduled to talk to Marc Crawford and Ron Wilson about their head coaching vacancy, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Tuesday. Crawford was the head coach of the Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche, Los Angeles Kings and Dallas Stars and coached 529 games with the Vancouver Canucks. He won the Jack Adams Award for NHL Coach of the Year in 1995, won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 1996 and also coached the Canadian mens hockey team at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games. Wilson, 59, coached four NHL teams over the last two decades, including the Anaheim Ducks, Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks and Toronto Maple Leafs with a 648-561-101-91 record. He led the Capitals to the Stanley Cup Final in 1998. Hired in 2008 by the Maple Leafs, he led the team to a 34-35-13 mark in his first season with the club finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference. The following year, the team posted a 30-38-14 record and finished last in the Conference. In 2010-11, Wilsons Leafs went 37-34-11 and finished 10th in the Conference. He was relieved of his duties from the team on Mar. 2, 2012. Wilson is also a candidate for the head coaching job with the Florida Panthers after taking part in the interview process with general manager Dale Tallon last week. Lance Lynn Jersey .

Custom St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys . -- The Oakland Raiders expect to have starting right tackle Tony Pashos back for Sundays game against the Houston Texans.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Its Michael Vicks turn. Even though its probably too late to save the New York Jets season.Rex Ryan announced Monday that Vick will start at quarterback over Geno Smith in the Jets road game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.I think this is the right decision at this time, Ryan said, adding that it isnt any long-term deal or whatever.The Jets are mired in a seven-game skid that has them at 1-7 after a 43-23 loss in which both Smith and Vick turned the ball over three times against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.I think its a great opportunity, the 34-year-old Vick said. Any time you get named to be the starter, in any profession, in professional sports, its a great thing. You have to relish it, but also at the same time take it extremely serious and understand whats at stake and what needs to be done.Smith, in his second season, was benched in the first quarter Sunday after throwing interceptions on three consecutive possessions. Vick took over and provided a spark, leading the Jets to a touchdown on his first drive, but also committed three turnovers of his own.My focus is just on Kansas City and trying to find a way to get a win, Ryan said. Thats why this decision was made.Vick was 18 of 36 for 153 yards against the Bills, and also ran for a team-leading 69 yards on eight carries. But he threw one interception — and nearly had another that was ruled incomplete after being overturned by video review — and lost two fumbles.His first start with the Jets will come against Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who helped revive the quarterbacks career in Philadelphia after he served nearly two years in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. Vick called it kind of ironic and added that it isnt exactly what he wanted, but is happy to be starting — regardless of the opponent.I love Andy Reid for the man that he is, Vick said. As far as the football game, football is football. I just want to go out there and do whats best for the team and hopefully try to get a win.Smith injured his right shoulder during the game when he made a touchdown-saving tackle on his final interception, but both hee and Ryan said it isnt serious.dddddddddddd Ryan did acknowledge Smiths shoulder isnt 100 per cent, and Matt Simms could be activated from the practice squad if Smith isnt available.They said it was minor soreness, Smith said.The Jets have been searching for a franchise-type quarterback since the days of Broadway Joe. Vick will become the 27th quarterback to start a game for New York since Joe Namaths last game with the team in 1976. A few have had some good moments — Vinny Testaverde, Chad Pennington, Brett Favre and even Mark Sanchez — but none was able to sustain any level of dominance or post-season success.Smith was given every opportunity to prove he could be that type of player after being thrust into the job when Sanchez was lost for the year during the 2013 preseason. He finished his shaky rookie season with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, but had a solid final month to give the Jets some hope.New York signed Vick in the off-season to provide some competition for Smith, but it was clear early that it was the second-year quarterbacks job all along. Still, Smith did little to reward the Jets faith in him as he had seven touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in eight games.Have there been guys that took a step back and then took a leap forward? There have been guys like that, Ryan said. Hopefully thats what happens to Geno, but I dont think anybody in this organization is looking at him differently right now.Smith believes he without a doubt can still be a franchise quarterback.The quarterbacks found out about the decision from Ryan after the team meeting Monday. Smith said he initially had no reaction when he was told, but added that he was frustrated and a little surprised to not be the starter this week. He also said he needed no explanation from the coach.Thats something that you have to expect, especially with the way I performed in the previous game, Smith said. It was definitely not (a performance) fitting of what I believe is the calibre of a starting quarterback. Its something that Ive got to work on.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Bills Jerseys Authentic Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Patriots Store Cyber Monday Jets Jerseys Cyber Monday Texans Jerseys Black Friday Colts Jerseys Cheap Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Titans Store Black Friday Broncos Jerseys Cheap Chiefs Jerseys Cheap Raiders Jerseys Authentic Chargers Jerseys Cheap Ravens Store Black Friday Steelers Jerseys Black Friday Cowboys Jerseys Cheap Giants Store Cheap Eagles Store Black Friday Redskins Jerseys Falcons Jerseys Online Panthers Jerseys Online Authentic Saints Jerseys Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys Authentic Cardinals Jerseys Black Friday 49ers Jerseys Black Friday Seahawks Jerseys Cyber Monday Rams Jerseys Black Friday Bears Jerseys Wholesale Lions Jerseys Packers Jerseys Online Authentic Vikings Jerseys Cyber Monday Bengals Jerseys Cyber Monday Browns Jerseys ' ' '
