Let's hope they don't call it on Dion tomorrow. He has got away with multiple of those this year.

I think Jeff Fisher was originally an interim with the Oilers, ended up coaching them to a Superbowl appearance (as the Titans). Remember seeing that on an NFL films thing.

Sam Martin is good to go. Excellent.

I like that as a swing. Good move.

They are a bad spot for him though. I don't see him and the Spanos family happily co-existing.

I think he should have hired Harbaugh. Unless of course Jim turned down an interview and we don't know about it. That was the best fit for him IMO.

No. The following year. 2013 was Tuel pick 6 at the goalline. 2014 was 4th and 1 and the fumble through the endzone from that sh*t running back Whaley traded for from Philly.... something Brown? We were the better team in both games. Lost them both of course.

Yep. They have run out of space in the schedule. If they want to add anything else or delay things they need something else to make way.

Jamaal Charles. I am still not over the 4th and 1 near midfield that turned into a touchdown.

They did.

When we lose to Chad Pennington and the Sanchize come back to me.

Correct it is much more complicated than many wish.

If the Bills are not in it I don't care who wins the AFCCG. To be honest hosting the Texans would be nice but not a gimme. So I am not that fussed whether it is Houston at home or Baltimore on the road.

No. Next question. 100%.

No. That was serious. Cos I knew our kicker wasn't going to make it.

Sure. But the Falcons still have to try and leverage whatever they can.

I know what his hit is and I know the market too. It is $2m dead cap to cut him. It is $7.5m to keep him. I don't think anyone on that list who is an upgrade is likely coming for less than the $5.5m difference (you might be able to get a cap number slightly lower I suppose by signing someone for multiple years but their AAV will be higher than $5.5m - but if that is your concern you can just add some void years onto Poyer and spread his hit). I think the most sensible cap decision is keep Jordan one more year at that number. Let Micah walk. The worst outcome IMO is they both walk off campus together.... UNLESS it is arm in arm with their Superbowl rings. In which case I think that would be kinda fitting.

I think most likely the move is keep requesting interviews with other candidates so that when Bill Belichick arrives for his second interview tomorrow they can apply some pressure on him to decide. They are very likely conscious that Belichick has the power here. They want to turn the screw a little bit. Don't jerk us around we have other options it is yes or no.

Yea I agree a full year with Josh he will be a top candidate and may well land a job next year if it goes well. But I don't think he is getting the Atlanta job. I think Belichick is.

I am not shocked he got an interview this cycle. I would be shocked if he got a job this cycle, however.

A sarcastic one mainly. I use humour to diffuse stress. But things said in the GDT should not be treated as real opinions equal to any other thread.

I think he has only had an interview this year as an internal candidate in LA. No other interviews this time around though he has had in the past. Shane Waldron is the other name on my list if Seattle don't retain him. EDIT: and actually for someone like Kellen Moore if he doesn't get the Chargers job (he won't) and isn't retained then come work with Josh for a year and you are guaranteed interviews next time around is a pretty good sell. I mean Ken Dorsey had HC interviews last year. I now think he will be lucky to land an OC job this cycle.

I'd rather Joe Brady than Frank Reich. Every day of the week and twice on Sundays. If Brady were to go the two established guys I'd want to interview are Bieniemy and Kellen Moore. Arthur Smith is a good OC who is out there but he isn't a fit here for Josh and the offense we want to run.

Who are you thinking?

And the same answer comes up every year - there isn't enough time in the calendar to delay it. 4 weeks to shortlist, interview, select a coach. Hire an entire staff. Evaluate your entire roster. Then negotiate contracts with the agents of pending FAs you want to keep. Then evaluate and decide which FAs from outside you want to target. Can you move free agency back? Sure. Then you have to move the draft back. And then you run out of space for rookie camps before the one month a year that coaches and personnel people actually get off between mid-June and camp opening in mid-July. If you want to have no interviews until after the playoffs then you need to lose something else out of the calendar. The obvious candidate is pre-season which would allow camp to start later meaning you could move the break back and give people all of July off. But the NFL won't do that.
