His pro football future involves a passport and a goose down jacket.
-
People laughed when I brought up the possibility of a future in politics. He’s a natural.
-
Time heals all and Americans have short memories. He will coach again but he still needs more time to detoxify. His time at Fox is helping him massage the public image and I could see an SEC team taking a shot possibly as soon as 2024.

The boss move would be for Jim eschew a salary increase and instead demand they name him Dean of the Engineering school too.

Week Eighteen: Detroit Lions (8-8) @ Green Bay Packers (8-8)
Hongbit replied to MichiganCardinal's topic in Detroit Lions
This game is going to be about the Lions OL. If the one that dominates in the run and gives Goff all day shows up, the Lions have a great chance. They are good enough to push around any defense in the league when they are on. If it’s the one that collects multiple holding and false start penalties and struggles in pass pro they will get embarrassed by a much improved GB defense. -
USC Notre Dame LSU Oregon Auburn Miami Tennessee Wisconsin Washington What do all of these big time programs that are serious about winning have in common? They all had a head coach opening during the time that Urban has been available. None even bothered to do so much as an interview. Hell, not even Nebraska interviewed him.
-
USC wouldn’t touch Urban (twice). I can’t imagine that Michigan would. He’s a proven winner but there is just so much baggage.

I haven’t really been watching too much this season but have been following Pistons scores. I couldn’t believe they were giving up 118 a game and I was blown to see that wasn’t even worst in the league. There are 13 teams allowing more than 115 a night. Crazy.

I’m not sure how long you’ve believed this story but it’s not true.

New Orleans still owns his rights and they will have to be compensated. Based on past deals of this type it would include multiple picks including a first rounder for any team to hire him.

I apologize to the UM fans here for that picture. It even made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

It was a troll.

That seems to be the most likely move to make. -

Not sure what they do. From a human standpoint, you can’t make these teams play anytime soon. From just a football standpoint, it’s not fair to the rest of the AFC to declare a tie. That would essentially count as a half win for each team instead of a loss and have a huge impact on seeding and standings. -

This is the NFL. They’ve done some shady shit in the past to protect their interests. Nothing stops the money from flowing. Not head trauma, CTE, and now cardiac arrest. Expect them to do their thing and it will come out that Demar had undetected heart issues and this is an individual issue and not an NFL issue. He and his family will be well compensated for their cooperation and silence. -
Generational talent

They should give him a raise and make him the highest paid coach in the conference. It’s a sign of respect that he’s earned. Still, the money itself won’t keep him. The NFL can always pay more. They will keep calling. There aren’t many available coaches with his past level of NFL success. Teams would be dumb not to try and tempt him. The biggest thing they can do is make adjustments to allow him to get the players and top assistants that he needs to consistently win. It appears they are making adjustments based on the recent transfers in from places like Nebraska and Coastal Carolina. I expect they will also continue to develop a robust NIL program as the grey area around university involvement begins to get more clear in the coming year. FWIW, he still fucked up the clock management at the end of the TCU game.

Also as a former math professor, Santa should sit down with him and go over end game time management strategies.

I’ve never seen anything more horrifying than soccer player Christian Eriksen collapsing on the field at Euro 2021. He was able to make to a full recovery after needing CPR on the field. Hopes and prayers the same is true for Damar Hamlin. -
Week Seventeen: Chicago Bears (3-12) @ Detroit Lions (7-8)

PFF scores on a play by play basis and adds up at the end. It’s very possible to make 3 great plays and still score lower than someone who makes no impact plays. It also appears that Analzone was so bad that he didn’t even register despite playing more plays than any other LB. -

On the subject of Swift. I think people underrate what he’s been able to accomplish. I get where it comes from. He shows flashes of talent that could make him one of the top RB in the league but frustratingly lacks consistency which is not uncommon with a 3rd year player. He also has the tag of a guy that can’t stay healthy because he’s missed time each year. The reality is he’s scored 25 TD in under 3 seasons. He’s also played in at least 13 games every season. Despite missing time this year, he’s very close again to 1000 AP yards. He’s lost 3 fumbles in 3 years. These are great numbers for a young player especially one drafted outside the 1st round.
