McDermott Harbaugh Shanahan LaFleur IMO one of these guys will win it. I'd give Brian Flores a nod for Honorable Mention. I think a 12-win season would have done it for McDermott. If I had a vote, I think I'd pick Harbaugh for being smart (and humble) enough to tailor his game planning around the players he HAS ON THE TEAM and not trying to force a square peg into a round hole. 2

Take that crap somewhere else, bigot. I am not a bigot crapper, I am in a mixed family, had black friends in my wedding party and have shared my house with black friends. Even shared my hotel room with a black Bills fan who I never met before. There was an article last time Rivera interviewed and it stated that Rivera did not qualify under Rooney Rule but there was another candidate who was. NFL never made statement if that was correct or not but it was on NFL.com website by black columnist. THAT is why I called it Loonie rule.
Augie Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I find it interesting that of the 5 team mentioned in the OP (Browns, Jags, Giants, Redskins and Cowboys) FOUR have questionable to bad ownership situations, IMO. Browns? A crook and a clown. Jags? You can’t play that many games in London and really be serious. I know, small market, needs help, but Toronto was a mistake and it was just up the road. What is the long game? Giants? They are stable at least and made the GM change. Mistake dealt with. Redskins? Snyder has been a problem since the beginning. Cowboys? Haven’t done squat in 25 years since Jimmy Johnson left (plus a little after-glow) and probably won’t until Jerruh is out of the way. The best coaches take the best jobs. The worst owners get what’s left over. Guys like Kitchens are willing to take a job for which he is clearly not qualified. I don’t blame him, whether it be the contract or the ego, but it’s hard for bad ownership to attract quality coaches.
DuckyBoys Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 NFL network just ran a piece on the hiring practices that just aired this afternoon Interesting that many believe the hiring involved nepotism and who you know (duh). Must suck to be a minority candidate and get called in just to meet the quota. Whose out there that deserves a shot?

Anytime you get opportunity due to special circumstances whether it is due to color, ethnics, sex, religion, economics, handicap, mental deficiency (pay attention here Gungy) you need to question it. I had a number of scholarships for college - some were academic, some were due to community participation (Lions Club and student government) and one was for "deserving low income candidate". The one I had most issue accepting but did finally because without it I could not afford to go to college.

LSHMEAB Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 The Saints went 7-9 4 OUT OF 5 seasons from 2012 to 2016. Yeah, BountyGate and all that, but we're talking a 5 year stretch. Pretty sure the Saints are glad they stuck with Payton. Sean Payton is a better coach than Mike Tomlin, but the circumstances are somewhat similar. I don't even know why he's being discussed. Glad the Bills have McDermott. We'll find out in the coming years if he's a wild card coach or a championship coach, but it's cool that the Bills aren't even in this discussion.
