If Snyder didn't want GW as head coach, why would he agree to a contract extention that gives GW a million or two if he isn't Gibbs' successor?
Because it was a negotiation & usually in a negotiation you can't always get what you want. (but if you try sometime...
)Suppose it went something like this:
Snyder : We really like you Gregggg & think you're doing a swell job & would like to keep you here for the forseeable future.
Greggggg: Thanks, Danny boy, but I'd really like to be a HC somewhere. What are you proposing?
Snyder : How 'bout we extend your contract a few years & I'll give you $100k extra a year & a lovely shrubbery?
Gregggg: Nope, not interested. How 'bout $10m/yr to remain here as an Asst HC?
Snyder : What, do you think I'm made out of money? How bout a 1 or 2 Mill raise/yr & if we don't let you succeed Gibbs, we'll give you an extra $2m?
Greggggg: Okay, sounds fair.

I don't think that's at all atypical.
Every year, several coaches get promoted and more 'come out of no where'. To make room for these coaches, either someone else needs to be removed from the coaching pool (retire/not hired) or be demoted.
Every year a sizable %age of coaches get displaced. Some x % (I'd guess < 50%) find equivalent employment elsewhere. Some get completely displaced (looks like Bates & Sherman might fall into this category). The rest accept demotions. Happens all the time. Look around the league at the # of ex-HC as Coordinators &/or ex-Coords as positional coaches.

I would assume not. The problem lies w/ the phone line, not w/ anything to do w/ the computer. It's sorta like asking 'his teenage daughter is on the phone all the time. How do I get through?'.
The one thing that he might be able to do (not that he would necessarily want to), is subscribe to 'call waiting'. Depending on how the modem is setup, the incoming click is usually sufficient for the modem to drop the line. If the modem speaker was on (mighty annoying in my book), your father would then be able to tell that the line was dropped due to an incoming call.
The other possibility, although it's unlikely available if he does indeed live in the middle of no where, is have him switch to either a DSL or ISDN line.

Bonjour
Faire tu a Albert de Prince dans une boîte?
Gotta say that my 2 semesters of French in college were about as much of a waste as the rest of my education, but I guess I know enough to make that LOL funny.
-
Isn't it usually March 1st?
My guess is slightly later than that. Typically maybe the 10th or so.
We're all too lazy to Google it, huh?

According to NFL.com, he was born in April of 1968...wouldnt that mean he's 38 now and will be 39 in April?
Dude. PC's have this accessory called a calculator. It's easier to use than Google.

How 'bout resurrecting who/where it all started?
Yvel Vram
Then again, a thought just came to mind -
Jauron (You're on), sorta the opposite would be "I'm Off"
Maybe I'm Off kitty-cat?
(I think you can follow that logic
) -
I get mine professionally sharpened. IIRC, it cost like $5 whereas new ones cost ~$15.
Only problem is that the place that does it locally takes FOREVER to get around to doing it. Consequently, if you find you have a dull chain & actually have a use for your chainsaw now, you end up buying ANOTHER new chain. I now have several.
Yes, I'd say it's worth it, although NBD one way or the other. As someone suggested, it works better if you have 2 (or more) chains that you rotate.

No. There is no history of discrimination against Ivy Leaguers by the NFL.
Actually, I think a very solid argument could be made that they do.
Bear in mind that I don't have any actual stats to back this claim up, so it might be totally bogus, but follow this argument -
In most industries, positions that are very demanding, selective and pay extremely well (for instance, CEOs of big companies, major law partners, etc) a very high percentage of those positions are held by Ivy Leaguers, far greater than their representation in the general population.
NFL coaches share these same characteristics (demanding, slective & $), yet I suspect that the %age of these positions held by Ivy leaguers is probably smaller than that in other industries and even possibly less than that of the general population.
This seems like a more valid case of unfair discrimination than the current claims of racial discrimination in the NFL.

Jauron went to Yale, didn't he?
Don't Ivy Leaguers count as a minority in the NFL?

I think it's a combination of things.
1st, obviously April does a great job.
But much of the credit must also go to Mularkey for emphasizing ST & allowing starters to be used extensively (One of the few + about MM, IMO). Just look how good the Rams ST were w/ April while under Martz. They were among the leagues worse.
Finally, you need to have the players. Which begs the question, if we can manage to be the best ST in the league, why are we among both the worse O & D?
-
2 reasons why not:
1) it means he won't be able to devote as much time to our ST, which will likely cause them to slip. i.e. We lose someone who by all counts has done an EXCELLENT job.
2) No HC experience. This'll mean our 3rd on-the-job training HC in a row. I'd rather not have him learn at our expense.
That said, out of the leading candidates I've seen mentioned, I like him the best. (More by default than anything else.)
He's obviously familiar w/ our roster. (I've seen it mentioned that ST coaches get to interact w/ virtually the whole roster, rather than only 1/2 or just a few players.)
Also, from what I perceive of him, he seems to have a lot going for him, i.e. he's a good coach.
p.s. Another potential plus he has going, which I hope isn't a consideration though I fear it might be, being an unknown, he'll likely come cheap.

Okay, the important questions: What is Sky network & how do I subscribe?

I don't think that cap space as of the beginning of the year is indicative of how well you handle the cap.
What I would consider to be well managed is not mortgaging the future at the expense of the present and not having dead cap space (which is in essense paying for past performance in the present). That is the fiscally responsible approach that allows you to (theoretically) be competitive at all times.
The other approach is to borrow to enhance performance. This is what Butler did. It allows you to (theoretically) field a better team now at the expense of sometime in the future.
Managing the cap well allows you the flexibility to affordably borrow if the need arises (i.e. like signing Milloy or a Corey Simon when many/most teams couldn't feasible come up w/ the space.)
I haven't seen the cap #s that you use for your calculations, but since there's both a min & a max allowed cap dictated by the CBA, I suspect that the $/win is largely a function of # of wins.

A guy at work told me about them. We had seven guys with us and that was the concensus. Fantastic.Four pitchers of beer, two pops and 65 wings= $40.
Jeez, I don't know if there's any place here in Albany that you can get just 4 pitchers for less than $40. Also, much to my dismay, 'pop' isn't even available here. All they have is 'soda'.
-
I'm disappointed w/ seeing Blackmon go. Based on the results on the field, he seemed to have done a decent job.
Likewise, Szabo. Although Gray being an ex-CB & Secondary coach, he might not have been primarily responsible. FWIW, I recall reading that he & Gray had disagreements.

How 'bout Parrish (he's small) & Evans as the Took (Perigrin & ??) brothers?
Sam Adams has the build of a large Gimli.

I would look at it more as we have a credit on what we already have allocated, but it amounts to the same thing.
Don't take my word as gospel, but I assume your assessment is essentially correct.
i.e. cap = $80m, we currently have $70m, so $10m space.
SA had $1m of LTBE 2005 bonus not earned, so either
we now have $69m allocated on an $80m cap or as you view it, $70m on an $81m cap
Same diff.

Perhaps a pseudonym for Allan Johnson or vice versa?

I just looked at BB.com staff link (wanted to see if anyone was missing
)& IIRC, don't we have a couple of other coaches?Specifically, a TE/off asst/quality guy and a Asst ST?
Thanks.

Why doesn't he build it on the remains of Meigs Field
Can Jauron be his own DC?

I think that would be imprudent. There's a reason these guys work 100 hour work weeks. Even a margin advantage must be sought (like not announcing your starting QB or how hurt a rookie's wrist is
). Having an extra brain/hand to delegate to is advantageous. As for just a 'figure head' DC, have you ever trained someone? In most instances, it takes more effort & time than doing it yourself.
