Jets...Marrone
Raiders...Gase
49ers...Rex
Bears...Shanahan
Falcons...Quinn
Bills...Hue Jackson
I think Rex goes to 49ers...
They have great D talent and a lot of offense talent...
Really they have it all to succeed right away
-
Hopefully they listen to Russ
Assuming of course the Shanahans want to come here
-
I just remember it seeming to drag on then out of nowhere there was a ton of buzz on Gailey and it was done shortly after.
I was just wondering if that was what was behind the Hue Jackson momentum...
-
It's fun to bash Marrone given recent events but didn't everyone want a tough, no-nonsense coach who didn't coddle players?
-
no, just a leak that his interview went well
OK... I wasn't sure if it was happening but just not announced yet...
Sort of like when it leaked that Chan was the guy... I was in town then
-
So this is happening?
I'm not local so I don't get the buzz around town...
-
Well I think we have our leak
It's going to be Hue
-
Kurt Warner
Was as amazing story because of how incredibly unlikely it was...That was a winning lottery ticket
-
Sometimes you play the odds and it still doesn't work out as you hoped. Still, the odds are what they are for a reason.
Nothing is for sure in life or in sports... everything is about probability. The fact remains that it is incredibly MORE likely that you will find your long-term answer at QB in the 1st 2 rounds of the draft than rounds 3-7.
You can be the one who says "But Romo! But Brady!" and counts on 5th and 6th rounders to be your QB.
That is like playing the lottery as a strategy for financial security. If it works you are golden, but have you seen the people who spend their entire paychecks at the gas station buying scratch-offs every Friday while you're stuck behind them just waiting to buy a f****** coffee?!
Do they seem like the type that have it all figured out?
-
my hunch on Pegula's wish list:
Choice #1: Shanahan
Choice #2: Rex
Choice #3: Reich
Choice #4: Schwartz
Pegula likes "stars" and alumni, which is why I ordered my list. But he might not get #1 or #2 so Reich could be the choice.
-
Neither as bad as a tire fire though!
It's close but I think I agree:
Tire
Grease
Dumpster
I think that's my fire rankings

It seems like the NFL coach derby is stuck in quicksand this year, at least to me.
Not specifically the Bills situation, but I find it odd that of all the openings none have been filled yet, and more than that, none have been "all but signed sealed and delivered" yet either.
Almost two weeks in every one seems completely wide open.
Doesn't this seem odd? It could mean that a lot of playoff coordinators are up for these jobs. It also means IMO that there is no "hot shot, must have" name out there that teams are hotly competing for, thus they can wait.
Thoughts?

Very relevant to this discussion -- Maddon opted out too: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24795796/report-mlb-investigating-cubs-for-tampering-with-joe-maddon
Interesting.
One thing we don't know is what the language of the opt out was. Maybe Marrone was able to contact potential employers to gauge his options.
-
So is the argument that it happens once in a while?
OK, Sure. So what's the point exactly? Is this another "you don't need to draft a QB high to be successful! Look at Brady!" argument?
The point I am making (not to speak for anyone else) is that for every Brady and Romo there are many more 1st and 2nd round QBs that succeed.
The 3rd round really isn't all that "low" of a pick either. It's top 100.
I guess I'm confused as to what the debate is.
-
If Marrone did opt out without a pretty lock solid guarantee on a job then he and/or his agent is not very bright.
I think if we've seen anything it is that Marrone/his agent is good at getting St. Doug in good spots for his career.
I would be shocked if St. Doug's agent advised him to make a move that would sabotage his career. Something made St. Doug take the $$ and run, and it wasn't EJ.
-
Assuming they are putting forth a smokescreen, if they do hire Marrone that smokescreen will in no way weaken the credibility of the charge. They may or may not have tampered, but if they did, using agents to start rumors about Quinn 7 days after Marrone became a free man isn't going to convince anyone at all. If Marrone ends up with it, the Quinn rumor will be perceived as the charade that it is. Anyway, isn't Quinn on the surface a more attractive hire?
Yeah but it makes it look a lot less suspicious. Sure, Marrone was a candidate, but they went through a "thorough process, hired a GM, and that guy picked Doug"
Of course we all KNOW it would be BS but proving it is another story. I doubt Terry would bother given the headache.
-
well his dad can and will keep him in line!
lol
Seriously though, the Skins are a grease fire. That's worse than a dumpster fire.
-
25% vs 75%
I'll take the 75% any day
Sure, you CAN find late round gems once a generation (Brady and Romo have been around forever and it hasn't happened since)
But look at what works most of the time and just do that. Why be cute?
-
I wonder where they sit for the interviews at the house
Dining room table? How strange must that be?
-
Jets will eventually hire Marrone... He didn't opt out without a pretty solid idea that he would have a spot to land.
This is just to make it look like they didn't contact him while he was still under contract with the Bills. After all, Woody had a bad tampering week with Revis and Marrone.
The GM they are bringing back for a second interview has ties to St. Doug.
-
One constant with Pegula is stuff doesn't leak out much
-
My money is on Hue being the next Bills coach. Just a hunch.
Inside info or a true hunch?
-
The Marrone situation makes me a bit sad honestly.
We all wanted a hardass. Sadly Doug quit on the "family" and like many domestic disputes it has gotten ugly
-
Please tell me you are going to be hired by the JetsThis is actually not true at all.
Is it strange/unusual that no coaches have been hired yet?

Makes sense...
Usually some team hires the next guy by wildcard weekend...
Maybe the wildcard put teams to sleep too! Worked for me last week
