He said informal contact has been made. They didn't imply who made the contact.

There is no such thing as front runners, and locks in Oakland.

I'd love this if it were true.

Did it hurt your feelings?

I love it when Clayton says so and so is the top canidate and then Mort say an hour later a completely diffrent person.

When i first saw the report last night it said car accident..

I though Villarial was one of the biggest weaknesses on our line.

It is misuse for someone who has the ability to go down as one of the top 3 RB's in league history.

Yes, i would jump for joy for a coach that misuses the best RB in the league, is the main reason why one of the most talented teams in the league underachieves every year, and is the most conservative coach in the league. Woo-hoo.

Sean Payton: Well always I think you start with your own personnel and you say lets make sure the playmakers are on the field - regardless of down or distance. Some schools of thought suggest that we need to get all of our receivers on the field on third down. But to take a player like Shockey out or third down would be ludicrous. So, we'll build our offense around our talent. ------ Does that mean he would have Willis out there on third down?

I sure as hell don't want him.

In terms of talent San Diego is top 3 in league, yet they continue to underachieve. Why? Marty. He is an atrocious playcaller that doesn't know how to use his best player, and he becomes incredibly conservative with the lead..i'm talking absurdly so.

I wouldn't want Jauron as a quality control coach.

Would you guys saying NO NO NO NO really be upset if we hired Mike Sherman?

What channel?

Works for me

I don't think North Jersey can take the place of a player like Eric.

Jim Fassel Says the nerd..

For that matter, scheduled for an interview.

I don't understand why. I mean, do you honestly think ESPN has any sort of actual info that says we are interested in him? No. It's just speculation. To me it's rediculous to say anyone is the favorite when no one has even been interviewed.

Rivera..

It scares me because of Marv's connections to the Bears.

I agree..

Among the names already speculated as possible replacements for Mularkey are former New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett, recently fired Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell and current Bills special teams coach Bobby April. Haslett and Cottrell served on Buffalo coaching staffs in the past. Haslett has strong ties to Bills assistant general manager Tom Modrak and some current and past players have already begun lobbying for Cottrell to be interviewed. April was the league's special teams coach of the year in 2004, is popular with players, and is seeking a head coach position. Per ESPN. Interesting.

Bears fans would be laughing their asses off. I would be about ready to cry.
