Tebow not only wins. But if anyone can turn those thugs into better people. Its Tebow

Kansas City Chiefs - Andy Reid
Buffalo Bills - Doug Marrone
Cleveland Browns - Rob Chudzinski
San Diego Chargers - Mike McCoy
Chicago Bears - Marc Trestman
Philadelphia Eagles - Chip Kelly

So that leaves Arizona and Jacksonville remaining....

Interestingly, every coach hired thus far, has an offensive background. Not a single defensive coach hired as HC so far.

Curiously, not a single minority coach hired, yet two have been fired. The Rooney Rule has failed us! This is anarchy!

[Erzengel]

Look out Frazier, Tomlin and Lewis. It's a CON-spiracy.

[Matt]

Other fun facts:

Two of the coaches hired are college guys

One is a CFL coach

Three have not coached in the NFL in three or more seasons

One has never coached or played in the NFL

I think all of those teams "interviewed" Tony Dungy, especially Kansas City.

They're probably rebelling against that PC crap, in favor of getting the right guy. What a concept!

Interestingly enough, in terms of velocity:

Kaepernick clocked in at 59 mph
Newton clocked in at 56 mph
Griffin clocked in at 51 mph
Wilson clocked in at 50 mph

In terms of distance:

Newton is capable of hitting 70+ yards
Kaepernick's longest throw was recorded at 61 yards
Griffin has been known to hit 50+ yards
Wilson, too, has made 50+ yard throws

Lovie Smith seemed to be this year's Rooney Rule "interview".

Update your material, bro.

The Chip Kelley saga finally ended? Good. I hope Chud does a good job with the Browns. All we Browns fans really have anymore is hope, lol!

[DoomsdayApex]

Hiring Chud as a Head Coach was mighty stupid of Cleveland. I honestly don't know what they were thinking. On top of it all, The Browns gave Chud 'Personnel Control'. We'll see how it turns out but Chud sucks at game-planning and adjusting... so does Norv Turner, but Norv is excellent at calling plays.

[Spider-Fan]

In defense of Chud, Browns did win 10 games with him as OC. So, he was a big part of the last time anyone was talking about Cleveland late in the season.

[Immortalfire]

Now many are assuming Chip bailed on Oregon because the NCAA was closing in.

Chud, while scrutinized, is a pretty damn good offensive minded coach. The issue though is that he's never been able to compile two consecutive productive seasons as an OC. This season for us was hell with him at the helm calling our plays. 2011 was exceptional, but some reason he forgot that he had Stewart, Williams and Tolbert in the backfield. Newton finished as our top rusher, and that's unacceptable.

But the Panthers did finish the season strong, though.

As long as minorities are legitimately considered, then be un-PC.

Oh, wait.

If all Tebow does is win, then he has no business being a Raider.

[Rowsdower!]

I seriously wonder if that former CFL coach will have a brain fart at some point next season and call for a punt on 3rd down.

Only because Ron Rivera told Chud to abandon the Read-Option offense as a base. At 2-8, we were 19th in rushing and 15th in passing. It wasn't until our offense went traditional that we finished strong.

Hopefully Chud learned from 2012 cuz it could get ugly in Cleveland fast.

[Themanofbat]

In defense of the CFL, if you can't make 10 yards in 2 downs, then you have no business playing football.

That's what my Dad used to tell me as a kid all those years ago...

[BatSpider]

So is Chip planning on using the Oregon offense with Vick and Jackson?

Good luck...

I truthfully thought Chip was gonna wait out to see if Rivera would get fired next season. I'm shocked that he took The Eagles' position. Vick is aging and injury-prone. There's no way he can handle that type of offense now.
