Gase and Belichick's son can have a weird facial expression competition. Unless Manning is coming with him it's a huge step down from McDaniels

Honestly, I would suggest that his close friendship with Diggs may link him here. Leslie Frazier was also Head Coach of the Vikings when he was drafted there.

I'm pretty sure if they cut him as a post June-1 designation they can split his dead cap over 2 seasons. So possibly factor in an extra 3.5Mish in savings next year for a $5M savings if they can. 700k according to SPOTRAC. Chump change.

The tl;dr version: This NFL hire is brought to you, in part, by Slim Shady. "Y'all act like ya never seen a white coach before..."

Just go to his Twitter and read his replies to people. Comedy gold. At this point Flores would be wise to bribe Jackson $100k to shut up and go away

We heard the same story last year. Here's what's about to happen. Rodgers talk will be intensified. Packers slap the franchise tag on Adams. Packers resign MVS. Rodgers takes it down to the wire for maximum attention. Retirement talk is on the table. Rodgers reports to Packers training camp. Packers lose in playoffs. Added bonus spoiler: Russ Wilson will remain a Seahawk.

Odd thought. Rodgers ends up with the Packers next year.

Ok so breaking this one down... 1. Nobody is forcing you to subscribe. 2. You don't subscribe for football. 3. You mind being forced to pay for ***** 4. You don't watch. Yea, could you please draw that picture? Maybe you work better in Crayola than in actual words.

I'm betting when the day comes and we win the Super Bowl McDermott will celebrate by slamming Beane through a table.

Jumped through this brother's jersey that was on top of the table. We do NOT deserve Diggs😂😂😂

So, Bill Belichick had to influence Schoen to hire a guy that Schoen had already worked with for a few years and (according to Flores) had already made up his mind to hire? Did Belechick also influence Ross to hire Flores for the Dolphins? Did Belechick tell McD what defense to run with 13 seconds left too? Or even worse...DID BILL BELECHICK TELL JOSH ALLEN TO TAKE TAILS???

I'm unsure about draft...however IOL is a strong FA class provided they don't resign with their current teams. I would expect at bare minimum that LG and RT should see competition. Bates and Brown both played well IMO (Brown was a little more hit and miss). After the line struggled early with the "run it back" approach last year with the same starters I'm hoping that a few solid games don't talk Beane out of upgrades to the unit.

It may also be an indication of the plans the Bills have with an eye to FA and the draft. A few new linemen and speed on offense seemed like a thought in Beane's mind at his presser.

I think Matakevich will be offered to stay with a pay cut like Morse was last year. He takes a lot of the core ST snaps. If he takes it or not is another issue. I think Ford's future with the team hinges on if he fits what Dorsey wants to run in the blocking schemes. If he fits what we went to do (even as a reserve) he'll likely be here finishing out his rookie contract. Even though Beane "anticipates Beasley being back" he also said they have not had a conversation yet. At his current cap hit...not certain he's here. Also, no guarentee he will rework his deal which may end up leading to a release. Lots of moving parts with all these guys, for sure.

Some of which is reflective on blockers getting to the 2nd level.

However outside of the 2 stats you make mention of the Vikings line is ranked higher or better performing on almost every other stat line you provided. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vikings actually gave up 30 total sacks last year which was 5th FEWEST in the league.

In fairness he has had 3 years as either the line coach or Assistant line coach. He also is a former OL player at UCLA. (Hopefully) learned something from Tom Cable and Bill Callahan in his time under them. Agree that our offensive staff is young...however that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Cousins normally doesn't run for his life. Dalvin Cook always has nice holes to run through. That's not all on the coach, of course.. But it's a really nice potential step in the right direction.

Yes, he's setting himself up for when the Giants start 0-4 and average 12 points a game. The snide will come back hard lol

Little known fact. Rich Kotite was the 1st Head Coach with Lebanese decent. Other famous NFLers that are in part Lebenese: John Elway, Doug Flutie, Jeff George and Miami Dolphins founder Joe Robbie.

I agree that is how it is being presented. As we all should know by now what the actual chain of events that took place behind closed doors may differ from that.

Mark is Eli to Donnie's Peyton.

I agree with what you are saying by and large. My thought, however is that of any white coach the Vikings could choose, Harbaugh and his resume would be an understandable, plausible and even almost bulletproof coach to pick. He has experience, a successful track record and is qualified for the job. The rumor now falls that the Vikings are picking Kevin O'Connell. A 36 year old who has been a coach for 5 years and is yet another Caucasian coach fasttracked into being a HC. This was the first interview he had. After Harbaugh "withdrew" the rumored finalists were O'Connell, Raheem Morris and Patrick Graham. One of those guys isn't like the others. This isn't to say O'Connell won't do the job or didn't win it outright by being the best interview...but the optics on this hire are not great at all.
