Do not want defelippo. That was a bust of a hire for MN. Riley, the saints and chiefs oc I would be intrigued with. Realistically I expect to hire someone that makes us all say wtf? Kind of like what happened with mm.

Also, last year his work was great with the Eagles, but I am not sure how much of that was original or just replicating what Chip Kelly used to run with Nick Foles with much success.

I agree with this; I was stunned about the McDaniels situation with Indianapolis, and it made me lose interest in him immediately. If he can't be trusted why would anyone want to interview him? More interestingly though, I think it's surprising that he was given such favorable odds as being our pick. The only reason I could come up with for him scorning the Colts is that he was promised the New England job after Bill is done there. And if that's the case, then I don't even see him applying for the job. I guess we'll see though.

What exactly happened with the Colts?

It seems as though Belichick essentially talked McDaniels out of the Colts Head Coaching job, which he had already accepted. So it was super awkward when the Colts had already tweeted announcing his hiring, and then had to say nevermind. Everyone from Colts fans to McDaniels' agent were pretty pissed.

Even though everyone changes their minds sometimes, the whole scenario wrecked a lot of people's opinions of McDaniels. I thought it was pretty shady.

I don't blame him for being unsure about things, but it was an ugly episode that made it tough for a lot of people to trust him. The way I see it, I'm not sure how I'd feel about hiring someone whose word I can't trust, even if they are an elite coaching talent. Again, it's tricky... who knows what'll happen though.

I'm OK with things only lasting a few years if it means he can help Rodgers win one more Super Bowl. The Packers can break up with him after and reset, as long as he gives a few really good years and makes the Packers competitors again before Rodgers retires.

Pretty sure McDaniels own agent dropped him as a client because of the ordeal. I think

Not sure why you dislike Riley KRK. I have actually been making an effort to tune into Oklahoma games as they are so fun to watch Offensively.

Sorry, yes I meant Lincoln Riley, but I dont want Lincoln Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln either....and yes they are fun to watch, but so is my church's flag football league...
1. The conference does not play defense...
2. Let see how the creativity works in the playoffs...against much better competition
3. They have a dominant offensive line, and especially given point 1, people have the tendency to think guys are running wide open because of play design vs. time to throw. If you have any decent QB that much time to throw, there are going to be guys wide open.
4. There are other guys who have done it longer and better in the college game, including Shaw and Harbaugh.
5. I think is especially important to have coached at the NFL level to command our locker room....including 12.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (4h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (5h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (22h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
