EDIT: at least he didn't say " Who ?.....never heard of him."

I think this rule almost is backfiring on the NFL. How may times has a minority coach been interviewed just to follow rules. As proven in previous threads with the Seahawks.
it is to complicated of a subject to dignify with a simple answer. suffice it to say that it has provided oppurtunities, advancement and experience to minority candidates who otherwise might not have been considered for head coaching and higher positions of leadership within the NFL. On the flip side it can be viewed as demeaning to minority candidates who feel they are not seriously being considered for the job and are only being interviewed/used to satisfy the rule.
minority candidates are free to decide for themselves in they want to go thru the process because they feel they have a legimate shot for the job or for the experience of the process itself to better prepare themselves for the next oppurtunity, or they can simply decline to be interviewed.
teams themselves depending on time constraints and/or preference can decide if they want to follow the rule or ignore it and accept the penalty in order to hire the candidate that they truly want.

Penalties are at the discretion of the Commisioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell. They include financial fines and loss of draft picks.

True dat Rocketship! I love when Chris Brown reports that Michael Lombardi reported that someone in the Bills office thinks they're close to possibly making a decision.
WHO-AHHHH BROTHER! Rock on!
can't chris brown just walk down the hall and ask ??

Speaking on NFL Network’s “Around the League,” Michael Lombardi reported late Thursday night that the Buffalo Bills are “very close to making a decision” in their head coaching search, and that they “have their guy in mind.”
The video segment is up at NFL.com.
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-tota...ound-the-League
Here is Lombardi’s quote in its entirety:
You know, Buffalo has been quietly going underground, they’re doing their interviews, interviewed Leslie Frazier, they’re talking to a lot of people in the league, but somebody I spoke to in the organization tells me they’re very close to making a decision, they think they know which way they want to go, wouldn’t tell me which way they are gonna go, but I think they have their guy in mind.

4.6 is slow for 6'4" 258lbs?
Plus he probably hasn't run a 40 since high school. IMO, people get too hung up on the point number. Players don't have to think when they are running a 40, if they run fast but think slow they play slow. If they think fast and anticipate well they play faster than they time. Not to mention that running in gym shorts is a joke and they should make people run in full pads.
i should look before i cross the street......in my mind i was comparing him to Patrick Willis who ran a 4.49 (LINK)....

are you fugging kidding me on KO return being recovered by texas
star WR julius jones reacted like it was a punt.......i bet he is not the regular kickoff returner.
-
Sorry guys I thought it was La Cinfora my bad.
That said, I say its Cowher or Billick
it just doesn't make sense to say "close" on anyone who hasn't been interviewed.

Michael Lombardi LINKY: bills piece starts at about the 2:45 sec mark of 3:16
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-tota...ound-the-League
basically says someone inside bills organization says they pretty much have their guy in mind and are close......to me, the time suggests thats gotta mean Cowher.
-
Shanahan and the Redskins have been talking all season. His deal was just about done with the Redskins the day he dropped out of the Bills offer
exactly
-
joshua cribbs is NOT going anywhere......he has very little leverage in his demands for a new deal or to be traded. he has three years left on a 6 year / $6.7 million deal he signed in 2006. his base salary last year was $620,000. Holgrem obviously recognizes he is dealing from a position of strength as he only offered cribbs $1.4 mil/yr on a new deal. you think cribbs is gonna sit out for three years?......Roscoe makes $ 3.2 million and will probably be cut soon. holmgren would hang up the phone before Nix could finish his sentence.

Just looking to see who else heard and to see if this has legs...
Hearing something like that from Marty does show that there is a realistic shot of this happening regardless of what Mort and Shefter and Clyaton have been saying. I think that coupled with Jay Glazer saying its still a possibility and he hasn't head the things Shefter has heard as well as our friend JW reporting that the Bills have been pressing hard, shows that there is still a decent shot...
they just played it early during the 6pm news on channel 2 tv.

John Clayton was just on WGR 550 and he said to keep a close eye on the Schottenheimers. He wouldn't be surprised with the connection of Nix that they both end up with the Bills and one of them will serve as head coach and the other as offensive coordinator.
please, he is weeks late to the dance......i've been telling you guys this for awhile.
-
"Marty Schottenheimer, on the intro segment of his Sirius show just said that Cowher to Buffalo is a STRONG possibility! Said he believes it would be a great fit.
He was not responding to a caller. He brought up the topic on his own at the outset of the show. "
Anyone here hear this or able to give a more accurate desciption or confirm they heard the same thing???
i just heard the feed, my buddy recorded it.....verbatim....marty said "i think that there is a reasonable or er possibility that Bill Cowher will in fact, become the head coach of the buffalo bills. he is a perfect fit"

Well, like everyone else in the western world, they probably assumed Shanny wanted a say in GM decision-making, either directly or through his hand-picked GM. So, why would Ralph and Russ pick a GM BEFORE talking with Shanny. Given the title he just took with the Redskins, a sort of co-GM with Allen, Ralph and Russ would have been correct in this thinking.
Now, the interesting thing is the timing of the Cowher visit and the promotion of Nix. It can be assumed that Cowher may also have wanted final say in GM type decisions. Given that within days after visiting with Cowher, Nix gets promoted, and Cowher has yet to come out and distance himself from the Bills job, the natural deduction is that the Nix promotion may have been floated to Cowher who did not reject the idea. Hmmmm.
thread killer......lol

I think it depends on the coach. Certainly someone like Cowher should have more freedoms than someone like Frazier, IMO. But, I agree, do you really want the HC also having final say on all personnel moves?
IMO, I think it's too much. In every instance I can think of that the HC was also the guy overseeing all personnel moves, it's led to mediocre results. Now, that doesn't mean that the HC and GM shouldn't be tied at the hip and essentially working as one. But, if Cowher insists on having final say on all players and FAs, that might be the deal breaker. I think Jauron had alot of control and Nix will give the new HC lots of control, but not final say (just my opinion).
As much as I liked the idea of Shannahan, I didn't like the idea that he insists on having say over every aspect of the team. You could argue that the more control he got in Denver, the more his teams struggled. It'll be interesting to see how he does in DC, now.
the broncos led the league in 2009 with $29.6 million in "dead money" from players no longer with the team. Shanahan brings em in and moves them out pretty fast. he and snyder are made for each other......i'm thinkin shanahan is counting on no salary cap agreement for the future.
