Mr. WEO

Fangio was hired and let go as DC for 6 different teams before the Dolphins made it #7. McVay, Shanahan, Tomlin and McDermott were all coordinators hired from other teams, not from within. normally, I would not questions your expertise in the field of idiocy...

Well, obviously that's the wrong question. Should be "why didn't they hire him?" I'm "that guy"? It's hardly a unique position. From another thread on page one from today: https://defector.com/why-your-team-sucks-2024-buffalo-bills Look, this is Weird, right? The team’s previous defensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier, “took a year off” after a 13-3 season in 2022 and never came back. Brady is the fourth—fourth!—offensive coordinator of the McDermott tenure, and only one of his previous OCs, Brian Daboll, left for a head coaching job. Rick Dennison and Ken Dorsey were both dumpstered during/after playoff seasons, with Dorsey’s firing coming under especially dubious circumstances. How many head coaches get to hire this many coordinators? How many refuse to hire from outside the organization like this?! Maybe most interestingly, former special teams coordinator Heath Farwell left for the same job with the Jacksonville Jaguars after the 13 Seconds game. I can’t prove that this is because, say, hypothetically, McDermott overrode Farwell’s call for a squib kick and had Tyler Bass kick it deep, which then gave the Chiefs just enough time to send the game to overtime, thus creating conflict between Farwell and McDermott that could never be mended. Nobody will ever go on the record about such a thing, so I guess we’ll never know what happened! Aww, shucks! What I can say for sure is that a lot of Sean McDermott’s coordinators seem to leave or get fired at the exact moment people start calling for McDermott’s head. Honestly, good luck to Babich and Brady. If their boss forgets how many timeouts their opponent has—again (allegedly)—they might be called into his office on Monday morning. A little hyperbole there, but not much. You pretend like this hasn't come up here many times before.

I was dubious when I saw the byline. But this was pretty funny, well done.

no need to ask a question already answered. what is gained?

breaking news...

their profits are massive every year. what has this to do with Goodell?? He's not the one ***** out bits of NFL teams. That would be Terry, and Jerry and the rest. your question is why Goodell gets $40 million a year.

simple: owner didn't want to trade him player didn't like the team's initial offer...then he took their offer when he understood they were not going to honor his "official request" to be traded this was on Aiyuk

And why do you think he would hire his position coach over guys who have been NFL play callers?

I already did. who else did McD interview for that job?

but but but, he officially requested a trade!

It's in the best interest of the team to have a career position coach to be calling the plays? lol, come on. McD smells something sour brewing and he's heading from the kitchen to the living room...

heard on the radio this AM that there was deal in place with NE but the 49ers owner killed it. Teams make trades. Players go to where they are traded (if).

Babich will be calling plays from under the idling bus...

wow, breaking news...

turns out the only genius that McBeane possess is getting fans to concede that "next year" is going to be the year....every year. this is year 8...

By the start of the season, no one will care. There's actually a whole thread about a guy who may or may not have been signed to the PS. lol. so....we could actually win the offseason??

The real genius of Beane is getting the fans to look past the roster and drool over the PS… How many ever get called up? This kid Davidson has been PS a bunch of times for example, yet everyone was going on like he was bursting onto the Bills scene lol

If so then neither of them can draft a WR...

Davidson has been on the Vikings PS in '21, the Bills in '22 and after signing a futures contract with the Bills in '23, he was placed on IR. I don't see the team putting him on the PS again....

And AJ Brown. No, Beane (and his crack team of draft scouts) knows what he's doing with the WR draft!

correct

wait Keni-H Lovely too???

The Steveson and Davidson cuts were inevitable, despite their lengthy threads.... Not sure why Davidson wasn't allowed to try out as Punter

so he can get cut tomorrow?

the disconnect is the belief that no other OC or QB could value a WR who had unusual ways to get open. A better QB than Fitzy certainly could use a guy like that.
