2010 NFL Thread II

[BlackLantern]

the rule only says you have to "intervew" minority candidates, not offer them the position

 

[Dr. Evil]

When an NFL team wants to comply with the Rooney Rule, they'll call Tony Dungy and ask him if he's interested in coming back, when they know he isn't coming back. Then they will proceed to go after Jon Gruden or Bill Cowher.

 

[Marx]

I don't see why. He had like 2 good seasons and tons of mediocre ones. Which is I guess a step up, but he has done nothing to warrant keeping his job.

I think people see the problem being more because of players show-boating than Marvin. He does alot of charity and foundation work.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Brad Childress will likely resurface somewhere in the league next year as an offensive coordinator.

 

[enterthemadness]

Marvin Lewis is expected to hold some kind of press conference later today. I wonder if he'll be announcing his resignation? (This is the last year of his contract.)

I though all coaches had press conferences on Mondays? Fox has had one every Monday this year. Well, after a game that is.

That reflects poorly on his ability to keep a team on task, though. He can't keep his team focused, and they under perform all the time as a result. He's not a great coach.

I think someone along the lines of Bill Cowher is the ONLY ONE who could legitimately handle the egos on the Bengals' team.

Him and Ocho Cinco would not get along.

Same with John Fox. Carolina always goes 7-9 or 8-8 after a playoff season. Done it 3 times under fox. First time he had an excuse, injuries in 2004 and a slow start, but they got hot in second half that year.

Hence why you trade them.

 

[Immortalfire]

That'd be hilarious

It's only gotten worse with the addition of TO. The Bengals should have kept Houshmandzadeh and gotten rid of Chad when they had the chance.

 

[enterthemadness]

That'd be hilarious

I bet Cowher has a no CD player rule in the locker room...he so old school, he don't know about current musical devices.

 

[Dr. Evil]

That'd be hilarious

It probably would be. I'm of the opinion that Cowher and Shannon Sharpe would not have gotten along well had Cowher been Sharpe's coach. But because both are on CBS as studio guys, they get along great.

 

[Matt]

so the Vikings will call Tony Dungy, he'll politely decline, and the Vikings become the next team to subvert the Rooney Rule

Well, being as they've appointed a black man, Leslie Fraizer as interim head coach, I don't think that will happen.

 

[enterthemadness]

Is it me, or does the Cards epic fail of a season fall on the head coach for choosing Anderson over Leinart? Then going with Anderson for a few games....then Hall...flip flopping it all around.

He should bench Farve and go with Jackson or the 3rd stringer. 3-7...why not. No one wants Favre do die out there in a lost season.

 

[Marx]

I'm pretty sure the world would implode if Brett Favre was actually benched.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Ed Werder would be on suicide watch, and we would see him in front of Brett's house in Mississippi in a candlelight vigil.

If not for Whisenhunt, the Cardinals would not be in a position to fail epicly. This season would just be another one of their many fails. Leinart would've done nothing for the Cards. He had his shot at the starting position and blew it by being the same old Leinart. The Cards gave Anderson another shot, it failed. They had a lot more problems to worry about than QB in the draft, though. The Cards needed to use the draft to beef up their defense. Now Whisenhunt needs to get a good defensive coordinator to really turn it around while he focuses on drafting and building an elite quarterback. Whis is a good coach. Give it time, he rebuilt the Cards once, he'll do it again.

I don't think that Fraizer can bench Favre. It was either going to be Childress or Favre at this point. They picked Favre.

ESPN would be crying all the time.

FOX/CBS carrying the game would mostly have the sideline reporter interviewing him on the sideline, asking what it like holding a clip board.

Farve: Well..it's a important job..I got up early...made sure the pens were well stocked...that they were working..made sure my wrist was good, little tight.

ESPN BREAKING NEWS: FARVE WRIST IS TIGHT, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD CLIP BOARD.

Maybe he can lure a fired Fox over there...

Is Hall any good? I know Anderson has an arm, just no aim.

If Favre's wrist is tight from holding a clipboard, then they should have signed Jim Sorgi. He's excellent at that.

He the P Manning of holding one.

 

[Darthphere]

Every year, everyone says it is the Texans year, but year after year after year, they disappoint. I am sorry guys, but this is a trend. The Texans will never be an elite team, and looks like not even a playoff team. They can't win close games and they choke. I knew they'd be overrated this season.

Never? I mean how many people would have thought the Saints would ever win a Super Bowl?
