  1. I read on yahoo sports that for the first half of the nine hour interview the gig in Minny was his and something turned it. Probably Harbs acting like the weirdo he is. It can be charming at times, but when you are running a billion dollar business, I don't know that "eccentric" is a job clincher. Oh to be a fly on the wall there.................I just wonder what he said.
  2. With the Caldwell thing. 3 out of 4 seasons in this venus fly trap of a program - they should be naming streets after the guy. I think his age works against him more than his race. Seems we're moving towards younger and younger coaches. Everyone wants their McVeigh..............most will end up with their own Kingsbury. Leftwich needed to land a job THIS year (a few are still open, so he can still). He won't look like such a good O.C. with Kyle Trask or Jimmy G at QB. I think Daboll will flop in New York. The Buffalo offense was good because of Josh Allen and his creativity. Daniel Jones or whatever other stiff they get won't have that ability to fix broken plays.
  3. At this point, I'm kind of done with Harbaugh and I wanted Josh to get it. Harbaugh is a cartoon, man. I'm glad, in year freaking SEVEN, that he finally beat OSU and got to Indy. It was a very impressive season, but the sideshow is silly and I think it's just time to cut ties with Bo, his disciples and that whole sick, sordid chapter. The announcers are gone, lets keep going. The faster we get done with the past, the better the future will be. Bo knew. He bragged that he knew everything about his program..........can't back off of this and say "well, not that part". Take down the statue, rename it Victors Hall and move on. Hockey program is f'ed up now too.
  4. But by the time he comes back for that Head Coaching job in college, he will have had a good 15-20 interviews for practice under his belt.
  5. Guess he never wants to be a Head Coach then.
  6. Oh, and adding to the list of talented actors that do a ton of really bad movies (and then every once in a while do a good one that reminds you they can really act) ---- Halle Berry. She's not quite on the Nic Cage/Burt Reynolds level, but she's getting there.
  7. This Moonfall movie looks really stupid. But you know what really bothers me about it, other than it's stupidity...........some Q-Anon idiots are going to think it exposes some kind of truth about he moon being artificial. Just waiting for that conspiracy to start - probably right after JFK Jr. makes Trump the President again.
  8. Adam Gace will be the OC of the Patriots.
  9. I think Chris Spielman knew of his rep with the Rams and he probably consulted his brother on it too. I don't think the Lions were leaning one way or the other, I don't think they had a guy in mind. There doesn't seem to be a problem with black guys being hired for GMs, just head coaches. It's so odd.
  10. I've think I've said this. I don't think there is OVERT racism at play here. I just think it's a disconnection. Josh McCown is the favorite for the Houston job. BASED ON WHAT? By the way, Byron Leftwich is not the only one that balked over Baalke. Tough situation for Lefty..........to have to work with someone you don't like but then it's only 1 of 32 jobs. The good for Lefty is that the team wouldn't be any worse under him. But the bad for him is that if he stays in Tampa Bay as OC, he won't have Brady running that offense anymore, so he's probably not going to look as good. I don't think Brian Daboll is going to look that good with Daniel Jones or whatever other stiff the Giants put at QB. Josh Allen made him.
  11. The Vikings probably didn't hire Harbaugh because he was too ethnic.................
  12. White Guy Coach Bingo. Nobody has the winning card yet?
  13. That is interesting, It seems to me, in my observation, that kind of thing was FAR more scandalous in 1987 than it is today. I mean, marijuana is legal in half the country and people these days have come to expect that you might have made some mistakes in your past. And example would be 1992 Bill Clinton and the scandal of "I didn't inhale" and 2008 Barack Obama saying "I did inhale, that was the point" In 1988 Laremy Tunsil smoking pot on a video probably ruins him. In 2016 the guy drafting him for the Dolphins says on national TV "I smoked pot in college too, I'm doing alright.". People are far more forgiving for a lot of behavior now than they used to be. Just don't make a bad joke about a specific group of people, even if you're a comedian who has spent a whole career being offensive for a laugh. I guess a Black guy has to be a friggin' Boy Scout to break in to the private club.
  14. Plus we have one current owner in DC who seems to have been running his front office like Delta house and another owner who was busted for DWI with a briefcase full of opiates, that if he wasn't a billionaire, would have landed him jail for over a decade. They don't get forced out of the league. Jim Harbaugh's had a DUIs, maybe even two, didn't stop him from getting a gig.
  15. But here we had a defensive coach who crashed his car coming from a strip club and there was cocaine in the car..........he still got the gig. And that's the stick-up-their-ass Fords. Oh yeah, it was his son's cocaine..............
  16. It's interesting that I am not hearing much about Byron Leftwich. At one point he was the Jags new coach but it sounds like the Jags jumped the gun there and now that is totally off? I am wondering if Bruce Arians has told him he's only coaching another year so stick around but if I'm Leftwich, I jump now. A year of being OC with Kyle Trask or Jimmy G or someone like that at QB and you may not look quite as good. I have no idea if Brian Daboll was a good OC, he had Josh Allen and it sure seems like Josh Allen made a lot of broken plays suddenly work.
  17. But then you get an example of Adam Gace or even Josh McDaniels, who were total disasters the first time, but get a second shot before a lot of Black candidates get their first. McDaniels isn't as bad because he's had a decade to think about what he did wrong, but Adam Gace got a gig right away after getting canned in Miami. Plus, a guy like Steve Wilks gets 1 year, the first of a rebuild with a Mike Glenon and Josh Rosen at QB, while he's replaced by Kliff Kingsbury, who was 35-40 in college and had his teams collapse in the 2nd half, just like he does now. Kliff Kingsbury seems, at best, a coordinator or even a QB coach. What, does Eric Bieniemy go into interviews and burp and fart or check texts during the interview? I don't know. Where is the disconnect here? I don't think there is a effort to hold anyone back, not an overt one, anyway, but it's just very noticible.
  18. They said 12-16 inches on Tuesday Drew & Mike Snow Total Formula. Take the lower number of what the local news says and cut in half. Most of us got between 5 - 8 inches of snow. Drew & Mike for the win --- again.
  19. NFL owners are like Randolph and Mortimer Duke.
  20. Yeah, that would be something. You take that interview and then don't get it do you just come back and say "everything's cool, we're good"? I don't know about that.
  21. That thing is turned on 24/7 now. Can't worry about it.
