I was going to start the thread and note the timestamp on this tweet:

Also, Aaron Rodgers complaining about the noise and bullshit is...rich, given who he is and what he spews 24/7.

Re: Black Monday 2024
No shit. The Jets need to start by cutting all of the players Rodgers demanded they sign, like Randall Cobb (seems like a great guy from Hard Knocks, but when he caught a pass yesterday, I completely forgot he was still on the team!), Lazard and Boyle. All 3 are a complete waste of cap space.

But the two aren't really connected since it had nothing to do with Jackson and everything to do with colluding to suppress salaries.

Re: Black Monday 2024
Really not nice of you to mock poor Arthur Smith, who just got caught up in the machinations and whims of billionaires. The little guy doesn't stand a chance in that situation.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Black Monday 2024
Imagine being either Smith (literally can't remember the first one's name) and knowing there's at least a chance you won't be known as the biggest loser Falcons head coach with your own name

Re: Black Monday 2024
I think Pete Carroll is grateful that the Huskies are in the Nat'l Championship game tonight...otherwise he might be getting some more attention about the damp squib (man, I love that phrase) of a season that just ended.

Little worse than listening to an NFL owner talk on field football.
Re: Black Monday 2024
He never coached under Bill, only played. He's part of the Bill 0'Brian (NFL) or Urban Meyer (OSU) trees.

Isn't that like saying your grandfather isn't a part of your family tree because he wasn't your father?

Re: Black Monday 2024
On whether Tennessee consideration given to trading Vrabel: "Yes, there was. But there's a bit of misconception about a coach's contract, say versus a player's contract. A coach's contract, you can't trade them unless they are a willing partner to that trade."
Re: Black Monday 2024
So by your logic, Ryans is off the Kubiack tree rather than the Shanahan tree.
BoB isn't part of Belechick's tree either. He was a pretty experienced college coach/coordinator before he came to NE (which was only for 4 years.)

Re: Black Monday 2024
odd argument aside, trying to claim that a guy who got his first major head coaching job directly after spending five seasons in New England and working his way up the offensive staff *isn't* part of the New England/Belichick coaching tree is quite the reach

Re: Black Monday 2024
He was OC at a major program, he would have gotten a job sooner than later if he simply stayed in the college game. Not like Belicheck instilled him with offensive concepts anyway, he worked under Weis in NE, who also wasn't part of the Belicheck tree.Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 5:51 pm odd argument aside, trying to claim that a guy who got his first major head coaching job directly after spending five seasons in New England and working his way up the offensive staff *isn't* part of the New England/Belichick coaching tree is quite the reach

Re: Black Monday 2024
I’m even more confused now — are you saying that a coach can only be considered as part of a coaching tree by virtue of where his first coaching job was?

Re: Black Monday 2024
I still think Vrabel is a good coach; good coaches get fired. He's had some bad QBs which will make any coach look bad, as I'm unfortunately learning now.

Re: Black Monday 2024
He's also had a transcendental RB, I'm not as set on him being that great of a coach. Belechick needs some GM checking but otherwise is still better than 95% of the coaches in the NFL.

Re: Black Monday 2024
The things that actually make people good coaches vs just luck with talent are completely unknown to the average fan. Get a guy that can gameplan and utilitze strengths. Otherwise, throw a dart.

Wow...surprised, but not surprised. 2013 was a long time ago, and they've definitely been "Meh" over the last few years.

Re: Black Monday 2024
It was nice to have two good coordinators here in Baltimore for one season. I imagine they could both be gone after this year.

Re: Black Monday 2024
Eh, don’t worry BFJ. Coordinators don’t move the needle negatively that much. Look what happened to my guys this year after losing both OC and DC.
