Denver blocked him from interviewing, they can't block him from talking to his buds. So the minute he got the word he'd be released, he calls Arians and Arians says "come on over" I doubt there was an interview; he'd previously worked with Arians, correct?

Very important for this team's success. No. according to Colin Cowherd, BB has one of the worst coaching trees in the NFL with few playoff wins, as opposed to Andy Reid, who has the best. His former assistants have the most playoff wins in NFL history.

The Redskins line has been very injured, for the past two seasons that I can recall. The article could be right, that Callahan's practices are a bit too physical and their large bodies are not getting enough rest to recover.

Depends on how you define winter severity. Some people equate it to snowfall and not temperatures. Chicago certainly gets a lot colder (speaking from experience and not statistics) but there is no comparison of the snowfall quantities. Of the two "evils", I prefer a place with less snow as cold is easier to deal with when you have cars in the garage and trains to commute to work. When it snows, everyone is affected negatively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a preference thing. I'd personally prefer snow and 28 than no snow and 15. Having said that, I choose to live in Las Vegas. Not a fan of winters anymore. As to the topic, I really do feel like we're at a competitive disadvantage. The only thing that can change that is consistent winning. That's something we haven't done in 25 years.

One of the funniest moments of Wade Phillips tenure in Buffalo was a case like this. He had a press conference on Empire Sports to announce the hiring of Joe Pendry as OC...........after trying hard and failing to get Marc Trestman(who chose Arizona). After the PC Wade walked right off the podium over to Mike DeGeorge(being the chief beat guy for Empire) for a live private interview for ESN and immediately DeGeorge asked him how this felt after missing out on his first choice and Wade was dumfounded like "why you gotta' go there!"..........hilarious in a one-on-one live setting.........you just don't get to see stuff like that anymore.

Frankly, so is following your posts. Per your moniker, I’ve given ‘it’ a long time, but ‘it’ isn’t getting any better.. You have no facts to back your babble, yet undaunted, you spew insufferable comments which bring nothing but disdain to the forum. Pick up your game, IttakesaBan. Anyway, Crossman’s ‘teams’ were so horrendous, anyone has to be better, right? Was there a return that wasn’t flagged this season? I’d still love to sign Paradis and talk trade for Von Miller.

Agreed, we have no idea if he was their 1st choice or if they would have offered it to him. All we know is that he was on a list of guys they were interested in talking to.

If he doesn’t get it this time around he will try again, and staying where he can continue to look good will help. I did hear he’s in the mix for the Bengals job. Would be a good fit imo.

But Kugler has a prior working history with Arians. They worked as OL coach and OC in Pittsburgh together for 2 seasons (2010-2011). Kugler has never worked with McDermott.

thebandit27 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If Daboll is looking for someone he's worked with, then George Warhop would make sense. He was just let go from Dirk Koetter's staff in Tampa Bay, and he was OL coach in Cleveland for both years of Daboll's term as OC there. Another name to watch could be Ole Miss' Jack Bicknell, who coached OL in KC when Daboll was OC there. Not sure I'd be thrilled with either guy, but nevertheless, names to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
