  1. And Lombardi is saying those are his words not Flores but he never clarifies what Flores said. Read the tweet.
  2. The guy who referenced those comments by Flores to Tua on the podcast , Mike Lombardi, is sort of going back on Flores making those specific comments to Tua.
  3. In house candidates don't count towards the Rooney Rule.
  4. Rooney ruled changed in recent years. I believe a team needs 2 different minority in person interviews to satisfy the Rooney rule requirement (ie they needed Frazier's and Flores' interviews to fulfill this obligation).
  5. Romo only played half a season on a below market contract. He didn't touch the field until 6 games into his final year of his initial deal. Actually now that I think about it he probably didn't even have a multi-year rookie deal. He was probably year-to-year those first 4 years, and assuredly below market until he popped on the scene in 2006.
  6. A quote that was made in response to a number of issues beyond just coaching, but if your point is that people need blacks holding every coaching position available to stop complaints so no attempt to fix things is worth it because it's impossible to satisfy their desires then I guess you did it. I mean you have an NBPA director commenting on issues of ownership, GMs, women in positions of power, and a myriad of other issues, but she clearly won't be satisfied until some equivalent of " 32 black head coaches and 32 white gms and 32 white owners" is achieved so the attempt to increase fairness isn't worth it.
  7. Yeah a one off article that touched on everything from ownership to front office personnel doesnt really disprove my point about coaches and the leagues of difference in serious criticism between the 2 sports, but good try though.
  8. Yeah Sturm doesn't know shit about college sports and the more he talks about it the more he exposes himself to the audience of this fact.
  9. And the one talented QB (Carson Palmer) he had in his tenure lost an ACL while throwing an 80 yard TD in the organization's very 1st playoff game in 20+ years and was never the same after that. I wanna say it was the very 1st play of that game too. I would've hated to be a fan of the Bengals at that moment. Pure joy and pure grief all in the same moment.
  10. Yeah players definitely jump the line ahead of longtime assistants. In that context fairness could be questioned, but someone could argue they more than make up for that lack of coaching experience with their playing experience which in the end is just a matter of what one holds in higher value.
  11. This unserious point always gets made while ignoring the stark examples we have in other leagues that prove it's bs. We don't hear serious complaints about issues like this in the NBA because there is a prevailing sense among all participants that the process for hiring coaches is mostly fair. I'm 45 years old and I can't remember the fairness of hiring coaches in the NBA ever being an issue among serious people. Conversely in the NFL, a league where many families have held ownership of the teams for multiple decades, not only have issues with hiring minorities been a problem, but it is also a league where nepotism seemingly runs rampant and thus the issue of fairness in the hiring process has always been held in question.
  12. Have you been paying attention at all? All the rumored innuendo about Flores being difficult to work with to him wanting DeSean Watson over Tua are in question following the context his allegations give to those rumors. If the story about him not wanting to meet with that quarterback are true then the entire storyline concerning him wanting Watson over Tua could very well be the exact opposite. And this nonsense about him only beating bad teams is rubbish. This is the NFL there are no gimmies in the league. Buffalo lost to Jacksonville. The Jets beat the Titans and the Bengals this year. Strength of schedule or whatever you're trying to allude to is meaningless when you're talking about the NFL. In addition to that you cant even show me data detailing how his wins are comparatively less impressive than any other team in the NFL over that period time. It's a nonsensical point. Furthermore, if we're to believe Flores, he ostensibly achieved the record you're discrediting against the organization's wishes and attempts to make it even worse.
  13. I agree about Disu. I initially hesitated to say anything about my desire for Bryson Williams especially with Disu having another year or 2 to play beyond this year. We clearly haven't seen the best of him yet. Having said that, I didn't know anything about Williams until big 12 play and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement. Dude is much more talented and polished than I imagined. And his athleticism allows him to maximize his skills unlike Mitchell whose game, while polished, is limited by his lackluster athleticism.
  14. Yeah substituting Hamm onto the roster for Bishop would've been extremely beneficial. Shit while we're dreaming, Bryson Williams & Hamm in place of Disu and Bishop makes for a dominant defense and super athletic team.
  15. Cincinnati notoriously didn't even have a scouting department when Lewis got there. Mike Brown is well known as the cheapest and worst owner in the NFL. He took over ownership after his Dad passed in 1991 which commenced the beginning of the organizations struggled. They were absolute garbage Lewis got there. So yeah Marvin Lewis got 16 years, because he essentially built that organization from the ground up.
  16. 1st time the Dolphins have had back to back winning seasons since 2003. More than likely Flores was only hired in the first place to lose as evidenced by the owner asking him to do just that. Much like David Culley, Flores was hired to bridge the organization to the next guy while the Dolphins gathered top tier draft assets before they hired their real coach.
  17. Those receipts seems to be growing.
  18. He probably was a few years ago, back when Allen was completing passes at a 53% rate and throwing more INTs than TDs, but he called Allen a god the other day so I'm guessing he changed his mind as Allen improved. New data often results in new conclusions.
  19. You may be in possession of some of the necessities... according to them.
  20. Now add in further context that at least 30% of the league's coaches and coordinators are related to other NFL brethren either by blood or by marriage then the notion that it's a pure meritocracy falls flat on its face.
  21. I dont know, I'm guessing he has a better read of his prospects than you.
  22. Obviously we don't know Flores motivation beyond what he says, but his going scorched earth like this leads me to believe he didn't believe that he was ever going to work in the league again regardless of whether he filed a law suit.
  23. The suit came as a function of his acknowledgement that his career was over. He probably figured his unwillingness to tank or serve Ross' bidding is the primary reason he wont get hired again. After that might as well go scorched earth and pull the cover off for black coaches behind him.
