He also recruited well for U of I. And what would be the excuse for Northwestern owning them year after year?

Two seasons in Tampa. 2-14 and 6-10.

This is what I was wondering. McCown's insistance that he shouldn't have to hold lesser coaching positions is a wild, blinking red light.

But why didn't they just not fire david culley? Lovie's career in Chicago is a highlight, but he went to Tampa and U of I and had little success recreated at either.

Man … what?

But maybe I’m a little too influenced by SFs special teams just winning them a playoff game.

If they didn’t trade for Grant, where would Tabors unit have ranked? With Eberflus preaching hustling and intensity in offense and defense, and with two good ST stalwarts now in Santos, O’Donnell, I think ST will be fine.d And if it means he was able to save the Asst HC title for SFs let go TE coach or even Rod Marinelli, I think those two are better position coaches than Bisaccia is a ST coach.

Meh, I’d be careful on being too certain. Tabors units also ranked mediocre to bad every year through Cleveland and the bears were paying premiums to add these pro bowl returners. Do we remember the bears punt returner situation before Gant was traded for? But he was a good ST coach, but the bears often had not good ST units. I don’t think Bisaccia is this king maker at ST, either.

I think I’d do Cam Robinson, Ben Jones and Gallup. And then in draft Joshua Jobe and Jalen Tolbert is fine, I am still catching up on this class.

I feel like this may be the first bulls team I can remember that hasn’t pit its vets vs rookies/young players. Obviously many of those teams were successful, but it is a pretty fun atmosphere when they are all embracing what the rookie can do and pushing him up vs out of the way.

I like Poeltl.

yeah that was autocorrected I must have fatfingered GM.

One reason why I'll always end up on optimist side when change happens that it could work out is you'd be hard pressed to have a stupider coach search than jacksonville had trying to have Trent the Back Stabber Baalke recruit coaches only to have even rookie coaches spit at his hand And yet they may end up with Rick Spielman and Doug Pederson and it is completely feasible that would work?

I have a hard time believing this is any worse than it ever is. I wonder how many people even know there is a baseball lockout right now.

If I was an nfl owner smitten with my New England - hailing front office that has convinced me to fire my coach after one year do I start to get at all cynical with them when the long time prime NE coaching target goes to another team with his own hand picked vet and we are still trying to hire Robin Ventura as a head coach?

Some perspective on the NFL, they just had two of the greatest playoff weekends they've ever had. The need for QB really has dragged me down since the bears are never with one, but I don't remember a time where I was so excited to just keep watching the playoffs. The NBA has an incredibly diverse set of superstars after years of just the super wings, now you have Jokic, Ball, Trea, Steph, Luka, along with the stalwarts still performing. And a now dominant east and a league where nearly all the teams are competing. I maintain that the issue with the 2010s was all sports at once realizing some longheld strategies were now outdated, maybe due to technology or analytics or new voices or what. Now all the leagues FOs are aligned and want to be competitive. It's going to be an awesome sports decade. Yeah Hockey might be bad not sure.

I think the NFL recent rule of rewarding teams for having their minority talent hired would be good practice in MLB. I believe it would encourage teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc who can afford large front office staffs to make sure they are casting nets because a few extra draft picks would be quite nice. And Friedman ain't going away, so this is a good opportunity to diversify the f.o. ranks.

Baseball manager as a job cannot be compared to football coach.

I mainly just like that there is alignment here. Among many things, I assume our offense looked like a disheveled mess because Nagy's staff couldn't understand what he was trying to do and were from different backgrounds. The OL coach, WR coach, QB coach are now all from a Shanahan/Kubiak background. They should all know responsibilities for the wide/outside zone run scheme and we'll see what passing-wise Getsy wants to include. Now, hopefully they are good at teaching this.

If the owners offer that now, it could get negotiated up. If you offer it in two weeks, it probably gets accepted. Or so the thought goes among the people that are forcing its customers to eat shit.

He seems like if our world goes well and people like our offense that he'd be the prime guy to take over with his experience across OL, WR and QB.

Andrew Janocko as QB coach. I really like this hire. Didn't know him before a week ago, so my feelings are intense and strong and well-reasoned. But I like that he was a coach around the whole offense and was a former QB. He coached Justin Jefferson as his WR coach. He coached Kirk Cousins this year and cousins had the lowest INT rate of his career with the most yards in 16 games https://purpleptsd.com/minnesotas-offensive-coordinator-solution-may-already-be-under-contract/

Eh, I'm sure owners by waiting are trying to make sure when they offer that the players accept it.

I would pay $100MM over 10 years to the following coaches: Would give ownership to: - Belicheck (obviously) $25MM/yr+ - Shanahan - Reid - Payton 10yr $100MM - McVay - J Harbaughs - Tomlin Arians no just because he already retired but maybe yes In that order. John H/Tomlin are a little curious to me just because they have the strongest supporting orgs around them. I don't know if they could own the org.

https://theathletic.com/3099160/2022/02/03/mlb-mega-mock-draft-we-built-a-league-from-scratch-and-might-have-broken-baseball/?source=emp_shared_article Since real baseball is a fairy tale we tell ourselves, I found this extremely fun. They mock drafted where you even chose the city, the stadium, the owner, the GM, the manager, and players. I ... can't believe people chose players, that's insane. I'd have definitely gone Location first, and frankly after the last 4 offseasons where prime free agents try to align to the west coast first, I'd go there. But maybe I'd just go freidman first and deal with the rest later.
