15 million for what will be a first time HC. Good luck with that. I wonder if Belichick makes 15 million per year or maybe more. 

Bill reportedly gets 25 mil plus and has for a while

Well he *IS* having to deal with an irrational head coach who uses coaches not suitable for roles and repeatedly needing his cheating covered up.

He deserves it.

Posting this cause I remember a few mentioning how they like to see as a McD replacement. Talk about shooting for the stars! 15 per 😱

 

Woof..

To be honest, I don’t blame him.  Get as much money as you can.  The average tenure of a n NFL coach is what…maybe 3 seasons?  The only guarantee you have is the money in your contract.  
 

I can imagine working as an NFL HC is a 70+ hour work weeks.  It’s going to be his life and his sacrifice a lot, might as well get paid.

The rumor is probably more about securing a raise at his current job than about an actual head coaching job

 

Especially since he seems more about the right spot rather than any spot

As they say, that and $2.90 gets you a ride on the subway…

Sounds like he's right, though. Isn't he?

In what way? Who do you think the better RB is? I'd be willing to bet there's a chance that Montgomery isn't even on the team next year and there's a reason for that

You "ease" the more explosive 12th overall pick all season long? When the 2 are playing, Gibbs is clearly the better player

Was just a jibe and not the seriousness of your point. 
 

Gibbs is decent and is seeing more production whilst still giving Monty significant snaps. You make it

sound like he’s a pitiful RB. 

Monty is an average RB who gets like 20 carries a game and a few catches and all the goal line work when Gibbs the much better player gets only 15 touches in some games and doesn't even get thrown to in some games when he is dynamic our of the backfield. He has not been used properly. And like I stated to someone else in this thread already, I'd be willing to bet there is a chance Monty isn't even on the team next year. Primarily because he is nothing more than average

Montgomery has played well all year long and you’re simply a salty fantasy owner who bought into hype.

[C.Biscuit97]

Is this from the same source that says Caleb Williams wants to own the team that drafts him?

They have a really nice combo. Gibbs is already one of the best weapons in the nfl but he doesn’t seem like the 20 touch guy.

He has played well, but he isn't the better player of the two. He's an average RB that is thriving in his roll but he isn't as explosive as Gibbs is. I promise you, this has nothing to do with me being a "salty fantasy owner". It's my observation from watching both players play. There should never be full drives where Gibbs isn't on the field and that happens all the time. It's like Green Bay. They have always misused Aaron Jones. There should be no reason for AJ Dillon to be in on full 10 play or 12 play drives but it happens all the time

Hey, I wanted $15M per in my last job, too.

 

Didn't get it.

Nope.

 

Can’t believe any team would be foolish enough for an u proven dude.

Whole different world being a head coach.  Lions have a lot of good players on offense.  Why isn't Dan Campbell getting the same props?  He is the head coach and has them playing real solid football.  But they looked lousy against the Packers on Thanksgiving.  And their offense was dreadful in Chicago in the second half. Everyone always thinks some young young guy calling plays on the sidelines is going to be the next NFL guru.  How did that work out for Brandon Staley?  Where are the good ex NFL players when it comes to coaching?  I love the Dan Campbell tough guy schtick.  Where are all the Ray Lewis types?  How come they aren't coaching?  All the black guys are good enough to play and bust their bodies for years in the NFL.  But most never get a shot at coaching.  Good to see Al Harris coaching the DB's for the Cowboys.  Not trying to turn this into a discussion about race or prejudices in the NFL.  Just an observation of watching years of football.

Good thing the Bills don’t need him anymore . . . Unless we lose to the Bolts tomorrow, then get the checkbook out Terry! 

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Idk … the Lions are good, but they’re not “I’ve got to hire Ben Johnson at any cost” good …

Head coaching is not going to be question going into the off-season

I wouldn’t be sure about that. There’s still meltdown potential here if we drop a game to Easton Stick and the decimated Chargers or the Patriots and miss the playoffs.
