Aren't the Lions a trendy darkhorse pick every year since Stafford started

Unrelatedly I don't understand how Bill O'Brien keeps holding on other then his boss is Bill O'Brien

The Giants should all be fired down to the locker room attendants.

I'm thinking again of the move from caldwell to patricia and I'm having trouble even figuring out the thought process other than "he was a patriot."

I'll save you some time, it's that.

For a real answer, John Harbaugh came in and *allegedly* irritated a bunch of veteran players because Billick (the previous coach) had a notoriously easy camp. But he turned out to be actually good, the Ravens won a lot except against the Steelers in the playoffs, and a couple of those players were hall of famers and they won a superbowl and he seems like he's chilled a bit, but he also has a pedigree to point to if Joe the fifth round pick thinks camp is too hard.

Although he does get fined a lot for CBA infractions during the offseason which is mildly funny.

And Bernard Pollard still takes sad shots at him on twitter sometimes.

If I was Deshaun and my team hired Brian Schottenheimer as HC, I would immediately demand a trade

He deliberately hitched his wagon to the BOB Texans so his decision making is suspect at best

I don't think Stef should get it for merely being competent enough to make a team with a lot of good players good. On the other hand, they are Browns.

I'm not entirely sure how much of a win this is for Pats fans.

I'll have to look up whoever Rutgers current head coach is when Belichick decides to hang it up.

I have funny news for you

dammit, beaten.

Anyway I'm unclear what the ravens dl has done in the last 5 years that makes the coach desirable but uh go jags I guess?

I'm still confused by the Urban Meyer thing. I'm aware of his college accomplishments but it feels like some kind of "think outside the box" idea where owners start outhinking themselves.

On one hand it was 20 years ago and a lot of us are different then we were 20 years ago, on the other hand its going to take some convincing that this particular guy has changed how he feels about The Gays

You can keep the picks. Getting Dave Culley off the Ravens in itself would be a godsend. A sub replacement level coach in that spot would undoubtedly be an upgrade.

Orrrrr we could take two thirds for nothing

That's the point. Hell, after Culley got hired by the Texans Baltimore replaced him with two black coaches at WR coach and passing game coordinator. I'd bet the two 3rd round picks they're getting from Culley influenced that somewhat.

The system works!

I think something that's kind of overlooked a little bit too is that an NFL headcoach is in charge of over a hundred people and it's also why coaches often don't make good GMs. That's a lot of people to be responsible for and there has to be a level of trust when it comes to who you choose to be in charge of the smaller groupings. You're obviously going to naturally gravitate to a known quantity rather than taking someone who you've never worked with before. I'm not saying this is a justification for not looking to fill the assistant roles under guys you trust with people you may be unfamiliar with but I think a lot of what can be chalked up to as nefariousness is also done simply because people don't think "who can I give an opportunity to" and more "oh god, I don't want to gently caress this up who do I know that can at least do the job.

It makes sense as to why someone might hire their son, or someone they came up under as an assistant to be their defensive coordinator for example rather than someone they've otherwise never met or worked with. A lot of people raised questions about Rhule brining along Phil Snow to be his DC when he was hired because he's simply not that storied as a coordinator, but he's someone Rhule knows won't second guess him, will be loyal and is basically just a known quantity.

Conversely Rivera when he came to Carolina kept Ron Meeks (the former defensive coordinator) on board as his DB coach wanting to keep some continuity but had to fire him (I believe mid season) because there was a significant amount of white anting and second guessing going on behind the scenes.

I don't know how you address that or combat that but there's 0 way you can tell coaches you can't hire people you trust.

Tldr
