Please stay off drugs, they're bad for you

I like Klein and he already knows the system

Florio has always been pissy, he thinks it makes him cool.

Pegulas don't view the media relations as critical to Whaley's job. I'm glad they confirmed what I've been saying here all week. "If people think his press conferences are a disaster every year, but we start winning, who cares?"

He's gonna get called to the break room to be confronted by Maroon like Tim Graham was.

Ok, fair enough. FWIW, Mike Smith re-upped with Tampa. Chargers job is basically down to Lynn, Toub and Patricia and Lynn is the only one with a callback so far

Bro are you legitimately suggesting they will get rid of the #1 pick from LAST year's draft this year? I find that highly unlikely no matter who drafted him

I loved it. His answer was basically "I can't. I don't have that clause in my contract this time."

Yep, I completely agree with this. You can't be a jerk unless you're winning. Do you have an impression that he doesn't LIKE talking to the media or is there a chance he's just socially awkward? Cause the latter would make a lot of sense and go a ways towards explaining why he apparently constantly has interpersonal conflicts.

Unlikely this is official, as Lynn is currently conducting his second interview to be HC of the Chargers

I'll let my assistants handle the busy work jk, thanks guys.

Incorrect. The league has only 2 categories for coaches: assistant and head. There is no third category for coordinators

Do we have any inklings or even rumors beyond Leslie Frasier as far as coaches or coordinators go?

He was HC of the Vikings

IMO Whaley is probably either a bit of a jerk or simply socially awkward and ill-suited to handle the media. I lean towards the former. That said, I'd probably disagree with JW and the media's assessment that interacting with the media is a significant part of his job. As long as the people in the building have a clear picture of the team's hierarchy I'm not so sure why it's so crucial that everyone in the world know it. Would it be nice to have everyone be professional and forthright? Sure. Do I think the way he handled the PC makes Whaley a crappy GM? Not really. Honestly, if the guy were knocking it out of the park every year with FA acquisitions and the draft I wouldn't care if his end of the year PC consisted of him sitting at the table and ignoring reporters while he plays Sudoku on his phone. Unfortunately for him, we haven't been to the playoffs during his tenure with the team so it would behoove him to employ a little bit of humility and deal with the press until he's built up enough credit where he can act like Bellichick and dismiss reporters...he's not there yet.

How come we either haven't scheduled any interviews for coordinator positions or haven't announced the ones we have scheduled?

Just stop. You didn't make the comment as a statement on the Rooney Rule, you called him a Rooney Rule candidate insinuating he wasn't a serious candidate for the position and was getting interviews solely because he is a minority. He is a serious candidate for the position, two teams have confirmed this by having him come back for second interviews. Once your position got blown out of the water you decided to save face and try and argue the concept.

Sully is not a reporter, he is a columnist with a tenuous relationship with logic and sanity. If you learned something from him flush it down the toilet

Technically mute points aren't supposed to be heard...

Yeah sorry, I saw it from a "reporter" on twitter and didn't confirm it. Looks like another premature tweet prematurely reported be me

No war. He's just signed with the Broncos

Well here's hoping he comes back because McCoy just signed with Denver

I'm REALLY looking forward to getting to see more of Marrone's tough guy "I'm not mad" face when dealing with the media now. He'll walk off stage to find Coughlin waiting in the wings, then be forced to slump back up to the podium to apologize for his attitude.

When the point brought up is literally race, then yeah, it's about race. Try reading what you're commenting on before you run out to white-knight someone without context.

Jerky's point was a fairly racist assumption poorly disguised as discourse. Lynn has SECOND interviews from TWO separate teams. Just that fact takes his entire argument and flushes it down the toilet in regard to A Lynn. Don't let the facts slow you down though.
