Yes you lemmings read for a change, Rivera says he doesn't want any distractions until the Chargers season is over.
Lemmings I say, lemmings.
it's really something. Drivers should be on the look out for people in Bills jerseys running out onto the I-90.
-
He declinded to be interviewed until after his team is eliminated or has won the SB.
looks like the mass harakiri will have to wait a bit
-
uh, ok? he declined Seahawks too early in the game. Could be he's waiting for his season to be done. Or its possible he doesn't want to be a head coach. Given his fall from Chicago, it wouldn't be that surprising actually.
Why does it feel like so many people on this board are just looking for an excuse to throw themselves into oncoming traffic?
-
the article talks about Brian Schottenheimer, Ron Rivera, Jason Garrett in addition to Frazier. Mentions continued pursuit of Cowher.
-
I'd imagine that Nix and Brandon would work to come to a consensus (probably not too hard) and then, no matter what, would have to sell it to Ralph
-
well, i think he could be a first rounder - in that someone will take him in the first round. that decision will probably be more about marketing than winning football games.
-
he never promised that. You just heard what you wanted to hear. He said the most important thing is a HC that is a teacher and that previous head coaching experience would be certainly preferred, but not determinative.
most of those guys you listed are terrible or VERY retired.
-
calling Billick a failure is dumb. I'd be happy to hire him. I'd also be ok with Frazier if he's honest about bringing in a serious offensive staff.
-
i said this in the Frazier freak out zone already but I'll repeat it again:
only 3 of the 12 playoff teams this year are coached by 2nd time around head coaches - and 2 of them are perennial playoff bust coaches Wade and Norv. the third is Bellichick who has a HOF QB, and he was a bust the first time round.
so 9 of 12 playoff teams are headed by first hire head coaches. Yet you need prior Head Coaching experience to succeed in the NFL?
-
Cowher's not just another retread HC and you know it...Everyone knows it...Folks can say what they will about the guy, the help he had in Pittsburgh, how much was his doing...But one thing is absolutely not up for argument because it's fact...And that is Cowher's Record...149-90-1 (.623 %)...12-9 in the Playoffs...One Super Bowl Ring...6 times in the AFC Championship Game in 15 Years...10 out of 15 Years in The Playoffs...
Re-tread? Not so much...
I held Dick Jauron responsible for his crap Record and I want Cowher because of his stellar Record...The speculation going on about Cowher from his haters is just that...speculation...He'll have to prove to me he can't do it elsewhere...Because it's a fact the guy won and won a lot in his last gig...
sorry re-tread was the only term I could think at the time to mean a non-first time head coach coaching the current team.
my point is there isn't a lot of success with old head coaches starting again somewhere else.
not saying I wouldn't take Cowher, I would - I'm just pointing out that most successful coaches are first time hires. So don't close the door on them just cause they're not Cowher.
but I think a lot of people on this board are just eager to have a hissy fit meltdown
-
I don't mind if we hire Frazier. Just please interview a few more candidates first, preferably at least one with previous NFL HC experience. I just want the process to at least seem thorough, even if its not.
I'm on board with this.
-
when does a guy ever get hired who doesn't give an impressive interview?
-
some people would basically only be happy with Cowher. It seems that the general league consensus is that he's the best HC/coordinator prospect out there with his temperament and his experience.
How many of the 12 teams in the playoffs this season are coached by re-tread head coaches?
3 of 12. Wade, Norv, and Bellicheat.
-
or its because its time he starts focusing on the playoff game coming up
-
I wonder how attractive a job is Seattle? Great city, but geographically it's really far from everywhere but itself. East coasters may be less inclined to uproot and move 3,000 miles away for a job when they can take an hour flight to Buffalo from where they call home. Just a thought.

Dueling chats!

i'd take tim graham over Sully in a second. Tim Graham is an actual reporter, not just a professional grouch that writes repetitive mediocre rants about whatever he feels like.

For those who weren't impressed last night, here's a quote from Rolando after the game:
"I just want to go home and take another shower and go to sleep," McClain said. "That’s how weak and tired I am right now. But my team needed me. They needed me to be a leader, and I couldn’t let them see that I was sick. I couldn’t let them see that I wasn’t 100 percent. For them, I’d do anything"
yeah. That definitely could have made him look a less explosive. Anyways, there's a long offseason to look at highlights and analyze measurables.
-
I think they can basically keep it all under wraps.
a few points:
1. with Fewell, officially interviewing him was something the team had promised him, and it was also a way to help him raise his profile in the league. It also fulfilled the Rooney rule, but that ended being moot anyway with Frazier.
2. With Frazier, I think it had to be an "official" interview because his team is still alive and league rules dictate a certain procedure in these circumstances.
also keep in mind that the Redskins didn't have any kind of official interview with Shanahan until it was basically a foregone conclusion that he was the one being hired
-
Looks to be like below-average help at QB, good D-Line help across the board, above-average LB help and average O-Line help.
Now granted, all of this could change with releases.
agreed. D-line looks like the only strong area. the number of older washed up players on that list is scary.
-
so, how do we get Bradford and Davis? Unless one of their draft stock falls or we do some serious trading around, they're both solidly in the first round.
-
I'm pretty certain Campbell is a RFA. He's not going anywhere next season by most accounts in DC absent a lopsided trade offer. I think he's a decent QB and very tough. Protection was terrible for the Skins this year and he was taking a beating most weeks but hung in there. I really respect him a lot.
I'd take Fasano in a heartbeat. He and Nelson would be a great pair.
-
with his arm somebody (cough, Oakland, cough) will take him by the end of the 2nd round. Teams usually waste late 1st round picks on players like Snead - wouldn't be surprised to see it again.
-
Texas is not a running team, they're a passing team. They use the big guy to stuff the run. Cody has always been a situational player. He's not an every down guy.
ok, that's what I figured. If he's a situational player while still in college, he's not getting picked very high. 2nd round at best. That said, we should consider him in the 2nd round, lol.
-
Let's see... Trade away a pro bowl RB, a 3rd round pick this year, a conditional 4th rounder next year, for a mystery backup QB?!
I'd do that trade. I don't think Philly would. McNabb is fragile and Kolb is their future starting soon.

that was the Gruden bowl. It was Callahan coaching Gruden's team, and Gruden coaching Dungy's team.
