Mark Davis: "Hold my beer!"
Nope not him - he is (or constantly claims to be) cash poor. Zero chance he does something like that until he absolutely has to.Just now, Livinginthepast said:What are the chances that Watson feels bad for screwing over the Browns with his absurd contract and lack of availability to play? Yes probably wishful thinking that he even slightly cares. If he had the slightest shred of accountability he would cut the Browns a deal and retire. What a disaster!

I don’t know that I realized Marlon Humphrey is now a slot corner?

kyle hamilton in baltimore got robbed. since moving to single high safety and changing his roles that defense went from among the worst in pass coverage to the best.
Hamilton got named to the second team.

Has had surgery again. Likely to miss the 2025 season.
Karma definitely got the Browns on that deal.
But karma also worked out in the owners' favor - from their perspective, this was the best possible outcome after Haslam gave out that fully-guaranteed megadeal that I am sure terrified and outraged all other 31 owners. Now it will be years, if ever, before someone tries that again.

Gotcha
I was just pointing out how just hiring Deion without a true search would also be a "sham" and violation because you need to interview 2 minority candidates now even though the goal is more minority coaches getting hired
I would say it differently: the goal is to have more minority candidates participating in the interview process. That ultimately will lead to more minorities being hired (that’s the hope at least) but the first step is greater access to opportunities and expansion of networks etc.-

If a team decided they wanted to hire Deion Sanders based on his record in college and time as a player they couldn't just do it without breaking the Rooney Rule.

They'll have a hard time selling any candidate other than Ben Johnson (or Vrabel if he wasn't already practically the Pats coach), and I just don't see that match happening at this point. They'd sell Monken as the coach that turned Lamar Jackson into a perennial MVP candidate supported by an elite run game. I could see Liam Coen as another option, sold to the fans as the coach that turned Mayfield's career around.
Pete Carroll although he’s like a Lovie Smith on speed.-

Pats - Mike Vrabel, done deal.
Jets - Steve Spagnuolo. They reportedly requested to interview him today and it feels like a move Woody Johnson would make. Being in the NY market he saw firsthand what Spagnuolo did in 2007. And I can see Woody getting taken in by his "championship DNA". No one really wants the job anyways and they need a bridge head coach more than he needs a long term answer. I just can't bring myself to seriously predict Rex Ryan.
(Also I'll admit some wishful thinking on my part - I would love to see KC lose Spagnuolo)
Bears - Todd Monken. I feel like you have to make one out of left field prediction if you want to be realistic because there's always one every cycle. The Bears reportedly put in a request to interview Monken so I have some basis for this prediction. I think they will want to get an offensive head coach after the Eberflus experiment failed. I know Ben Johnson is the hot name here but I think he's going to sit this cycle out yet again... Chicago doesn't seem like a very attractive job because Caleb Williams was pretty bad this year and showed little to no growth over the course of the season, and they're in a brutal division. Monken feels like the perfect "no one else will really consider me so I'll take any of the 32 jobs I can get," and I could see Chicago's ownership convincing themselves Monken can get Caleb Williams headed in the right direction after what he's done in Baltimore.
Saints - Aaron Glenn. This is a tough one. I don't think Brady wants this job or else I'd predict him. The situation here is too messy. The Saints need what Buffalo needed when they hired McDermott - a leader of men who they'll be patient with and allow him to transform the culture. I think Glenn fits that bill given everything I've heard about him out of Detroit.
Jaguars - Liam Cohen. For the same logic @GunnerBill used, I have nothing to add. Again I almost want to say Joe Brady but the more I think about it the more I think he is one cycle away from getting a job. One more year coaching an elite offense led by Josh Allen and he'll have his pick of the litter.
Raiders - Brian Flores. Again with the same logic Gunner used. I can't find another candidate that makes sense.
The McCaskeys are gonna have a hard time selling the fanbase Todd Monken after the Trestman and Nagy debacles… that’s not a small market where owners have clout like Jacksonville. -
Feels like the kind of thing where the league would change the rule just in time to deprive Buffalo of that bonus.

Belichick was contacted by Brady about the Raiders job:

Good stuff. But you’re missing a “dark horse” like Gruden going back to the Raiders, or Carroll finding a chair before the music stops. There is almost always one head-scratcher and I expect the same will happen this cycle.

He was in a hurry to post this drive-by “analysis” of the 2014 draft, during playoff week. Give him a break.-

Have you read either of the pieces, start to finish? If not, slagging him with a whole bunch of juvenile swear words seems off.
It’s much easy to scream about journalistic bias than actually read things. Humans change. McDermott sounds like he’s changing. Maybe Dunne has evolved too. Mouth-breathers on the internet don’t like nuance. I don’t know what’s worse - the folks in this thread cursing out Dunne without reading the article, or the folks in this thread proudly proclaiming that they won’t pay for content (while at the same time complaining about how content has gotten worse). These kinds of takes contribute to the sh__ification of society.-

Nobody wants to hear this but the real evaluation for Coleman starts next year. He was a player you drafted for the long term, not for year one. He has no idea what he's doing out there, he's just getting by on pure physical ability. Like Spencer Brown his first couple years. Hopefully Adam Henry can do what Aaron Kromer did.
I wish Coleman had built on his game against Seattle, unfortunately he got injured and then regressed and kind of plateaued the rest of the season. But he's going to be just 22 years old in May. He comes from primarily a basketball background. So this is not a finished product. Supposedly he has a great work ethic and I know he spent a good chunk of this past offseason at a private camp with a WR coach. He needs to put in a ton of work this offseason and learn the nuances of the position, while probably un-learning some of what he knows from his basketball days.
This is exactly right. He has a TON of work to do this offseason and it will set him up (better or worse) for the main trajectory of his career. Does he want to be great? If so he has a lot of work to put in. If he wants to crack jokes and try to coast by on his athleticism he will have a short career. But the ceiling remains very high.

They should send him to Carolina.

Did ok. Better than Spector. Needs to tackle a bit better (noticed him getting dragged for a couple of first downs) and missed a couple of zone drops leading to completions. Again, better than Spector. He can play.

One has to wonder if Mayo was given directives to lose the game. And he being a former player, couldn't stomach the thought and winning cost him his job.
Nope after the Flores lawsuit there’s zero chance the Krafts are that stupid.-

He won a game. 4 of them.
what coach would have been successful with that crappy roster? Belichick won 4 games last year.
They shouldn’t have hired him in the first place if they were going to give him a legit shot.
It wasn’t just the record. There were multiple instances that we know about (because they were public) where he flubbed it this year. A whole series of gaffes at press conferences for example. He’s just not ready to be The Guy yet.-

For everyone saying Vrabel, why didn't they just hire him last year?
Bc they had this whole succession plan thing. Clearly someone in the building wasn’t in favor of it…-

Someone posited here that Vrabel rushed to do the Jets interview to pressure Kraft to act…
