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.

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..............

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.

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.

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.

NFL owners are like Randolph and Mortimer Duke.

I've never been under the impression that murders weren't covered enough in Detroit. Chicago has more people = More killings. I think if you want the most accurate weather, weather.gov. NOAA doesn't sensationalize anything for ratings or clicks. They don't care.

I have to make sure I have what I'll need for the next 3 days. I have a car. Most of these folks drive SUVs now, so there is no rush for them. When I had my Grand Cherokee (I miss it so much, it was too expensive on gas) I would always do my grocery shopping during the storm because there was hardly anyone else there. I think people saw what happened in New England last week and didn't want to get caught off-guard. No big deal. Planning ahead is a good thing. The probably I have is with the media always projecting the worst of it. That can be dangerous. I think a lot of people didn't evacuate New Orleans because they kept being told "this is the big one" and they were numb to it.

PREDICTION YESTERDAY 12-16 INCHES DREW & MIKE SNOW TOTAL FORMULA - Take the lower end of the estimate and cut it in half and that is what we will truly get - which would be 6 inches. After a full day of being in full Snowgasm mode yesterday, our local media is now saying about 7 inches It is incredible how accurate the Drew & Mike formula usually is.

It seems like a natural progression for Gattis to move up to Head Coach. If not here, then somewhere Broyles Awards Winners Year Coach School Notes 1996 Mickey Andrews Florida State Current special assistant at Florida State, former head coach at Livingston University 1997 Jim Herrmann Michigan Most recently defensive coordinator of the XFL's New York Guardians 1998 David Cutcliffe Tennessee Former head coach at Duke, former head coach at Ole Miss 1999 Ralph Friedgen Georgia Tech Former head coach at Maryland 2000 Mark Mangino Oklahoma Former head coach at Kansas 2001 Randy Shannon Miami (FL) Current defensive coordinator at UCF, former head coach at Miami (FL), former interim head coach at Florida 2002 Norm Chow Southern California Most recently offensive coordinator of the XFL's Los Angeles Wildcats, former head coach at Hawaii 2003 Brian VanGorder Georgia Former head coach at Georgia Southern 2004 Gene Chizik Auburn Former head coach at Iowa State and Auburn 2005 Greg Davis Texas Former head coach at Tulane 2006 Bud Foster Virginia Tech Former associate head coach, linebackers coach, and defensive coordinator at Virginia Tech 2007 Jim Heacock Ohio State Former head coach at Illinois State 2008 Kevin Wilson Oklahoma Current offensive coordinator and tight ends coach at Ohio State, former head coach at Indiana 2009 Kirby Smart Alabama Current head coach at Georgia 2010 Gus Malzahn Auburn Current head coach at UCF and former head coach at Auburn 2011 John Chavis LSU Former defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Arkansas; former defensive coordinator at Tennessee and Texas A&M 2012 Bob Diaco Notre Dame Former head coach at Connecticut 2013 Pat Narduzzi Michigan State Current head coach at Pittsburgh 2014 Tom Herman Ohio State Former head coach at Houston and Texas 2015 Lincoln Riley Oklahoma Current head coach at USC 2016 Brent Venables Clemson Current head coach at Oklahoma 2017 Tony Elliott Clemson Current head coach at Virginia 2018 Mike Locksley Alabama Current head coach at Maryland, former head coach at New Mexico, former interim head coach at Maryland 2019 Joe Brady LSU Former offensive coordinator of the NFL's Carolina Panthers 2020 Steve Sarkisian Alabama Current head coach at Texas, former head coach at Washington and USC, former offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama 2021 Josh Gattis Michigan Current offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Michigan

Michigan will have to be a very offense-oriented team next year because they are losing so many defensive players. I think Josh Gattis gets the job and he could actually be a really good hire. Might as well try to score 50 every week. As far as Harbaugh, maybe he wasn't happy about not getting the big extension last year and maybe he realized that getting to the college football playoff is as far any Big Ten team is really going to get so there's only going down from here. Warde Manuel...............where is he? Tough time to be hiring a new coach as - the hockey team is in trouble, the school just wrote a big check to Dr. Anderson's victims (and it's only the start there) and the school is dealing with it's President and another professor being involved in sex scandals. It's a mess. Doesn't matter anyway, by all reports we are all doing to die from snow the next 2 days.

We've heard scuttlebutt about Admirals. Joe Theismann made a remark about Commanders I think they are messing with us. I think they will be called the Redtails in honor of the planes flown by the Tuskegee Airmen and I think that's why they are announcing it during Black History Month. It's Military It's about Bravery It's Bold It will TOTALLY make up for no black coaches being hired yet. All will be forgiven.
-
Well, I think the Rooney Rule is making a huge difference. And I really thought Juan Samuel and Bruce Fields had a GREAT shot of getting the job that went to Jim Leyland.
-
After Sean Payton getting suspended and Gregg Williams getting fired for bounties that are as old as the game itself, I can see Saints ownership hiring Flores in a sort of spiteful way, not fair to Flores, but he gets a gig.
-
It's a tough line to walk because you don't want to force teams to hire someone they don't want to hire, but the players are 70% Black and it's been about that percentage for a very long time and most coaches were once players so it seems like there would be more Black head coaches, but only Mike Tomlin remains (sorry, not counting Saleh as a minority at all - Middle Eastern is technically considered White). David Culley gets bounced after a year where he won 4 games with a team most people thought would win 2 or 3. Wasn't his fault the roster sucked. Did they hire him to get an extra draft pick in the first place? Brian Flores turns Miami into a playoff bubble team after years of irrelevance and gets bounced because he and the QB, who hasn't been all that impressive, didn't get along? Steve Wilkes was a one-and-done. It's just wrong. I know a couple of Black GMs got hired but GMs aren't very visible.
-
Okay, he needs to make a decision soon because Michigan needs to move forward with him or without him. Dragging this out puts the next coach in a tough spot (if there is a next coach). Plus the fact that the school has an Interim President doesn't make this any easier. With no permanent President in place, does that mean bringing in an outsider is impossible? I know the #1 name is Matt Campbell, but Bill O'Brien could be on their list too, maybe Matt Rhule.

It depends how how much the artists band together. Neil and Joni can call their shot. Some indie band trying to build a fanbase can't make that call. they can complain but their record label will want the exposure. It's truly about the royalties. Neil and Joni don't need them anymore, a band like Lunar Vacation or Big Thief need more ears to hear them so they can sell some tickets to a live show.
-
Neil's been battling Spotify for years.............Neil has been battling mp3s in general for years. Most people don't have musician's ears and don't care, they just want something to sing or dance along to.

So Neil Young started it and Joni Mitchell followed. Wanting off Spotify because of the stupidity and dangerous conspiracy theories of Joe Rogan (even his friend Bill Burr called him out on it - on his show). Expect the floodgates to open now. I expect hundreds of artists to get their music pulled from Spotify and they will use Joe Rogan as the excuse, but lets be honest - artists have been battling Spotify for years because of their ridiculous royalty structure and now they have an excuse to cut ties. I use Spotify all the time because I do 2 music-oriented radio shows and it's a great way to find new music, but I know how bad it is for artists. The day after the Breaking Bad finale the song "Baby Blue" by Badfinger had something like half a million streams on Spotify. On the air I joked about how the estate of Pete Ham made $38, but I might not have been very far off. I didn't know, at the time, that Pete Ham had killed himself over his music being stolen from him (it was a big reason why). I would not have made that comment if I knew that was the reason. Spotify is going to have to make a decision this week, and I am guessing that they have to weigh the traffic from Joe Rogan's podcast against all the music they are about to lose, but it might be too late, the artist have been looking to revolt and as much as I use Spotify, I don't blame them. Don't take medical advice from a fucking comedian, who once believed the moon landing was fake, then didn't believe it, but the way he's going these days, he probably believes it again. And fuck Aaron Rodgers too.
