Titans now looking for a coach too.

Speaking of coaching hires, its amazing to me how short the memories are of some of these GMs/owners. And personally, I think it's a case study in human fallibility. Jon Gruden was fired a decade ago, hasn't coached a lick since then, but because he's on TV gets a massive deal to become a coach at Oakland. Josh McDaniel works well in Belichick's system, but that's like saying that a mid-level exec for Amazon.com is doing well when the stock prices soar. You want to hire that guy to run GE? He's had an opportunity as head coach, it was pretty bad and no one wanted him after that to be the head coach. He goes right back to where he succeeded as quickly as he can, does the same thing he did before his head coaching attempt, and yet teams now want him to be head coach again? You need a certain skill set to perform that job well, and some guys have it, while others just don't.

People have been trying to get Gruden for years. He kept turning them down. He is reported to be the highest paid at ESPN so it was going to take a kings ransom to get him. Plus the Raiders have season tickets to sell in Vegas. Really that makes sense. Just look at the crowd for thepress conference.

McDaniels I get it, he was really young the first time. He had a decent first year, bad second year and gone. Let’s be honest here coaching has as much to do with the coach as the team. Let’s not forget Belicheat wasn’t great in Cleveland. Yes we all say it’s Clevland. Well that proves that point.

Belichick came back to Parcells flock after his failure in Cleveland. His work with the Pats in '96 and then the Jets showed he deserved another shot. McDaniels has shown over the past few years he too deserves another shot. If it fails again, then he will be pegged as a coordinator for life.

Brady must be licking his chops. The only thing stopping him from another SB appearance is Bortles and the Jags. Then if he gets there, the only thing stopping him from securing his 6th ring is Philly and their back up QB or the Vikes and their journeyman QB.

Never underestimate a good defense. He and Peyton Manning lost to Mark Sanchez in the playoffs.

Go Vikes!

When I saw the play live on TV, I didn’t know there was so much open space between Diggs and the end zone once he made the reception. I was saying “Get out of bounds, get out of bounds!!!” LOL.

I thought he was on the sideline too

The haters must be exhausted, imagine after one more...

I’m surprised the Brady hand injury hasn’t gotten more national play. He was listed as DNP for practice today. Of course the Patriots aren’t dropping any crumbs of information which has led to wild speculation on local radio. I won’t worry until I see Brian Hoyer taking snaps Sunday with the game still in doubt.

I don't know that Brady is necessary for the Pats to go all the way. So well coached and well staffed with good players across the board.

The D would have to pitch a shutout. I don't see who ever hold the clipboard putting up a lot of points on Jax.

Despite what they did last Sunday, the Jags offense isn’t quite the ‘99 Rams. They’re a pretty inconsistent group and have the question mark about Fournette who looked very gimpy in the second half last week. The Pats D doesn’t have the gaudy numbers for sacks and picks, but they have been the #1 scoring defense since week 5.

Just make the footballs lighter for Brady’s hand.

He doesn't need hands to beat the Jags....however jags were 10 -1 to win the Super Bowl so I took the Jags for fun

Mike Vrabel named Titans HC. Pretty fast track to the top job. Looks like it's going to be Indy or nothing for McDaniels.

 

[BurningRage]

Let’s go Jags.

Go Vikes!

This defense can’t stop a nosebleed
