This would be such a horrible look for the NFL, especially with the Brian Flores stuff going on. It would emphasize the claim that white coaches are given opportunities that minority coaches aren’t. I don’t see how the Texans could even sell McCown as qualified for the job at all, let alone more qualified than other available candidates. Almost 40% of NFL assistant coaches are minorities, yet every year the NFL seems to find some new, totally inexperienced white candidate to promote over all of the (much more qualified) minority candidates.

I also think they are on the right path. I won’t go as far as to say they’re the Sabres McDermott and Beane. But I do like Granato a lot. He seems like the right coach. He knows hockey, seems like a very good teacher and our young players actually seem to be developing. I hope both him and Kevyn Adams get time to turn this around. and this is coming from someone who was furious about the Adams hire at the time. I’ve been extremely skeptical of him. But I like what he’s done and is doing. I like that he held his ground on the Eichel trade. I like that he’s creating a top notch analytics department. Some of his draft picks are looking pretty good, as are the players he acquired in trade. Im just hoping the Pegulas don’t hit the panic button again. That Andrew Peters rumor about big changes has me uneasy. I’m hoping it’s something unrelated to people being fired. They need to stick to a damn plan for once. Like you said, there’s no quick fix for this team.

Good hire for them. Now they just need to get rid of baalke.

Watch our offense be even better with Dorsey and Brady... Karma’s a *****. 😂

Yeah for sure. We already struggle against Tennessee with Tannehill. There’s already enough top QBs in the damn AFC. It would not be fun having to go through Mahomes + Rodgers in the playoffs. (+ Burrow, Herbert, etc). The only issue would be cap space. Not sure what the dead cap for Tannehill would be like. Probably less if they traded him. I probably should have started a new thread to discuss this instead of bumping this old Trubisky thread. It’s a totally different topic than trubisky to Tennessee (which I don’t see as realistic).

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/02/03/the-titans-emerge-as-a-potential-aaron-rodgers-suitor/ Sounds like there might be some interest between Rodgers and Tennessee. ugh. I hope not. That would suck! Titans could be a juggernaut with Rodgers.

Wow that’s crazy! I didn’t even know that was allowed. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/12/20/nick-caserio-david-culley-regularly-communicate-during-games/ I remember the browns GM getting suspended for sending texts to his coaches during the game. But I guess this is allowed since they communicated via headset. What a **** show the Texans are.

Whoa. The dolphins might be ****** if there’s witnesses to the $100k offer. Id have to imagine they lose at least one 1st round pick, if not more. Same for the Browns if Hue Jackson’s accusations are true (and he also claims to have proof). They should actually be punished even harsher because their tank actually worked. They got two 1st overall picks, and one of them could be a super star (Myles Garrett).

On a similar subject, Shea Tierney is leaving to be the NYG Qb coach. Not surprised since Joe Brady is being named our QB coach. Plus Tierney was one of the only asst. coaches Daboll actually hired himself. Ryan Wendell was another and I think there was possibly 1 more low level assistant too (at most). Otherwise McDermott assembled the entire offensive staff.

I love this hire! has me even more excited about our offense next year!

The text says it’s from January 11th and that divisional game wasn’t until the 23rd so, if this is true, it has to be for another reason.

If true (and I’m not sure it is), I wonder what he was unhappy about. I wonder if it had anything to do with the run game.

It sure could, if he has proof. I would think Miami would potentially lose at least one 1st round pick and who knows how big of a fine (not that it would really matter to a billionaire like Ross). It'll be interesting to see what he has to back up his claims. Not a good look for Miami so far. But we’ll see what happens.

I mean, you kind of have to give the guy credit. As others have said, it very well could be NFL career suicide. But obviously he’s taking a stand for something he strongly believes in and must feel the sacrifice is worth it. I have to respect that.

There’s a text from Belichick in the affidavit.

Glad the Bills got their first choice and I’m excited to see what he can do!

I was just going to post the same thing. He took like 12 paragraphs to thank everyone under the sun but not a single mention of anything Patriots - belichick, Kraft, Patriots teammates or fans.

I’m guessing the Bills were ready to move on, otherwise I don’t think they’d allow a lateral move if they really wanted Bobby Johnson coaching their o line next season.

Tee Martin actually has more experience in coaching than Dorsey does. He’s been coaching for 15 years and has been a QB coach, WR coach, offensive coordinator and asst. HC. Dorsey has been coaching about 1/2 as long and has been a QB coach with carolina and Buffalo. So if everyone feels he’s qualified, I don’t get why you’d laugh at Tee Martin being interviewed and/or write it off as just some Rooney rule thing. Exactly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tee_Martin good read. I didn’t know anything about him but now I’m intrigued. Played QB. Was a backup for Peyton Manning in college. Then had success as a starter. Led his team to a national championship. Then played in the NFL, NFL Europe and CFL. He also has a long history as a college coach. He’s been a QB coach, WR coach, OC, asst. HC. He’s only been the ravens Wr coach since 2021. There’s also a Matt Barkley connection: https://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2012/2/15/2801407/tee-martin-hired-usc-football-wide-receiver-coach

I watched the whole thing and had a much different impression. I liked a lot of what he had to say and I thought he handled all the questions well.

Wow! I love it. I also love that KC fans are now feeling the same pain we are. I say we start donating to some KC charity in small denominations 😂

That’s the type of play we needed our defense to make in that KC game. One big play like that could’ve changed the game for Buffalo.

I call BS on at least some of this. The surgery thing definitely wasn’t his reason for requesting a trade. We know he requested a trade before the 2020 season because Eichel told us on another podcast that he did, so he was clearly done with the Sabres long before his injury. IMO He was done with Buffalo because of all the losing. Some of what he’s saying differs from what’s been previously reported too (some of which came directly from Eichel and/or his agents and some from Kevyn Adams). He says there was a consensus among all the doctors except buffalo’s but that’s not what was reported back when all of this was going on. It was reported that his initial 2nd opinion was the same as the Sabres doctors and that It took him seeing multiple doctors before he found one who recommended the ADR. Then by all reports he was pretty dead set on ADR and he and his agent went looking for more doctors who agreed with Dr. Prusmack so they could present it to the Sabres. Eichel says it was political but As far as I know Kevyn Adams can’t just override his medical staff and choose the type of surgery a player can have. I don’t think the NHL wants GMs choosing the types of surgeries their players have. I think the team’s medical staff decides. So if the Sabres doctors weren’t comfortable with ADR, then what can Adams do? and remember, the Sabres head doctor was one of the pioneers of ADR. buffalo’s doctors were also far from the only ones not willing to approve Eichel’s chosen surgery. There were GMs who said they would have loved to be in on an Eichel trade but it was a non-starter because their team doctor wouldn’t approve the surgery he wanted. I don’t know why the Sabres would conspire to prevent him from having the surgery. It would have been far easier for them to trade him if he could’ve had the surgery and shown he was healthy. Why would they tie their own hands like that? If they did then they’re idiots.
