Sean McDermott joins NFL Competition Committee

[Prospector]

The league:

Committee: I'll take a McDouble Sean

The league: what

Committee: Committee has two m's, t's, and e's... doubling up makes sense

The league: what

[Sweats]

So, he's gonna try to set things right in the NFL, when he can't even set things right on his own team?!?.......stop me if you've heard this before.

I think it's safe to say he's not getting fired anytime soon, so perhaps we can stop with the various "Fire McD" threads.

 

I know ... fat chance. But that horse is dead.

The horse is no more.

It has ceased to be.

It has expired and gone to meet its maker.

It is an ex-horse.

 

 

[Big Turk]

Wow...that is quite the honor and says a lot about what the rest of the NFL thinks of McDermott.

First order of business...

 

Hire 100+ full-time refs and pay them $200,000/yr (and they must quit their other job).

I got a sneaking hunch that a number of NFL referees make much more that that number at their "day" jobs.  Officials are attorneys, CPA's CEO's general managers, all of those jobs pay well above the numbers you are showing.

[Beast]

Now the Fish fans can complain like we did when Shula was on it.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Does this mean that the competition committee will continue to learn and to grow?

- 3 months of ref training during NFL training camp

- Off-season refreshers/training weekly

- In-season, in addition to their assigned game... weekly meetings to go over calls throughout the league and how to improve week-to-week

- Ongoing review, reporting, and accountability with penalties (financial or dismissal) if repeated problems

- Have another 50 refs "on call" for emergencies who are trying to crack the top 100

 

100 x $200K = $20 mil (Nothing to the NFL)

Expand  

So, I looked really quickly to see some of the other occupations... dentist, pilot, HBO films producer, etc... I think a lot of these guys would be making a lot more than $200K working full time at their other jobs.

Other than Tomlin, it’s not exactly an esteemed list.

McVay is a SB winning coach.

That's a little bit of my point. They are focused on other careers. Get hungry guys who would kill for $200K and dedicate their careers to being an NFL Ref.

[14774]

Who are McClappy and McVay replacements for? Belicheat and Carroll?

 

They are the longest tenured coaches in their divisions, so they get it by default, correct?

[T master]

Isn't that something, the NFL considers McD a very competent coach competent enough to look at the rules of the entire league, it would be nice if this fans here could recognize it too !! 

[Chaos]

Hopefully someone on the committee will explain to him when to throw challenge flags

The refs have a union, it's not a money issue from the leagues side

Just our head coach joining the most powerful committee in the league.

Insert "timeout", "clap", and "13 seconds"  jokes here.

Why you little....had a clap joke primed and you ruined it.

From here on out any team not playing complimentary football will receive 13 public  lashings at the 50 yard line.  As it should always have been.

Expand  

No lashes.  Just go sit on the 'inactive' list for four weeks, the entire team.  Teams placed in such a situation forfeit at their games during that period.
