  1. Very sought after... Can we please test that hypothesis?
  2. Well, in all fairness, just because they failed on a 4th and 2 doesn't mean they had to give up a 92 yard TD pass on the very next play. This staff spreads the failure points around. Which seems to be okay with them as long as they keep clapping.
  3. Again, I don't think Jerry's approach to this is at all rational, so attempting to attribute normal thinking about success to him is pointless. Jerry doesn't want someone who is already recognized as an offensive genius, who brings heightened expectations with them. He doesn't want to win with people talking about how great his coach is. Jerry wants to win with people talking about how great Jerry is. He's clung to Jason precisely because no one thinks Jason is anything special. Win a Super Bowl with Jason and he can hog all the credit while simultaneously insisting this is just like 1992 when Jerry, in his mind, created a Super Bowl team with a college coach who went 1-15 his first year.
  4. There isn't job security. Jerry keeps Jason around because he wants to show the world that he built a championship contender while nurturing his hand-picked puppet of a coach along. That would be his way of refuting those who credit Jimmy Johnson for those long ago Super Bowl wins, which matters to Jerry more than anything. A coach who comes in with a real reputation will inevitably be seen as the force behind improvement and become a threat to Jerry. Such a coach will not be given an endless run like Jason. Rather, they're at risk of Jerry making the job intolerable to run them off early so he can install another hand-picked puppet and go after his white whale again. Jerry accepted Parcells because he needed some credibility after squandering his own so that he could grease the skids for building Jerry World. He certainly didn't try to sustain that as a long-term relationship. Now he has Jerry World, so he doesn't need anybody for anything. Lincoln Riley doesn't seem to be stupid, so he'll certainly be pondering our history under Skeletor if he's ever even offered the job.
  5. Is it the QB? Is it the red-haired coach? Is it the defense? Is it Jerry? Ever consider that it's all of them. We have more than one problem. And why would Lincoln Riley choose to come here? If he wants to go to the NFL, he'll have more than one opportunity. Why pick the one where the skeletal, deranged owner/GM insists on being the focus of attention and has a long history of neutering head coaches, as well as trying to low ball them on their initial contract?
  6. Actually, we wouldn't have needed to keep JImmy, who would have left sooner or later anyway. What we needed was for Jerry to give up his GM delusions and simply hire good personnel after Jimmy (as in not Barry "is that my gun?" Switzer lounging around the facilities semi-sober). It's a sad thing to even contemplate--match Jerry's genuine financial vision and abilities with good football personnel and we could have been something special the last 20 years. Instead of the slow burn freak show we are.
  7. Oh well.
  8. Every official should just thrown their flag all at once.
  9. Jets seem to be trying to give it to us now. We should take it.
  10. Kind of like last week. Stinking the joint out for most of the game, then mounting a comeback in the 4th. We'll see if it works out this time.
  11. That's pretty desperate, to pull the Tannehill chute.
  12. Well, our division does suck. Beat Philadelphia and we can pretty much win it on attendance.
  13. Aren't clowns at least supposed to be funny?
  14. As long as we don't screw around and let it come down to a late field goal.
  15. Damn Maher. As bad as it is to lose, that's still worth a chuckle.
  16. Real old-fashioned butt-kicking occurring here.
  17. That half didn't look good. No question about that. But we're still better than the Giants or the Skins, and all we have to do is squeeze by an inconsistent Eagles team. Thank God for the NFC Least.
  18. It's kind of amazing how bad Charlie is. He has to know something about coaching after all those years, doesn't he? Surely Urban Meyer wouldn't have let a complete idiot hang around. And yet here we are. Some might have thought Charlie's resume was potentially suspect when he came here, but between us and USF, he now looks like a complete fraud.
  19. Well, at least Shane is having a good day. Happy for him.
  20. Actually, I like that record for Michigan. I think they should give him an extension.
  21. I'd say B+. Ended 3 drives with FGs and made two absolutely critical "no point" stops under duress in the 3rd quarter. Game was as close as it was because we can't field punts. Last I looked, that's not under Orlando's job description.
  22. Mr. Brown is certainly doing his utmost to make Pittsburgh look blameless for his problems there.
  23. I say 10-6, in the playoffs either as wild card or division winner. It'd be nice to make the NFC title game, but after all these years, I'll believe it when I see it.
  24. Well, to be fair, he didn't say it would be any good. It's just flat and fast. The metrics for success appear to be that it doesn't involve multiple layers of decision making and spits out any answer that doesn't require thought. More or less optimized to suck if handling something the least bit complicated.
  25. That's the optimistic take. There are still plenty of stupid trades they could make with that remaining 1rst rounder.
