Welcome back!
Great.. A guy that went from QB coach to OC…. That worked last time, right? Right?
Who will be the mandatory Rooney Rule interview?
Don’t jinx us! LoL
Lovie Smith should be the obvious choice. He might get our gig since Da Bears canned him.
Lovie
Huge difference between what Atlanta’s offense looks like an what St. Louis’ offense looked like.
You can’t avoid something just because it didnt work once before. People have different personalities, knowledge, and decision making processes to go with their experience in different organizations.
I would take Smith over any other candidates. But, there are 6 other teams looking for a coach. He’s not going to pick Cleveland.
Arizona’s DC Horton will probably get a look and deservingly so.
OOH! OOOH OOH OOOH!!!! Glad someone caught that.
Lovie’s record means he merits an interview. How insulting is it that there is a such a thing as the “Rooney Rule” that implies that he doesn’t? Affirmative action is evil all around.
Romeo, Romeo, Where art thou to appease Rooney, Romeo?
In 15 years, when white people are a minority in this country, do you think there will be a rule that says teams need to interview at least one white guy?
How about women? Why isn’t there a rule ensuring that teams are interviewing at least one woman for every opening?
obviously i am just being silly. please don’t get all political
