Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

i'm surprised they're being allowed to yet, considering playoffs and all. i'd think most teams wouldn't let that happen until they'd been knocked out.

 

From what I've heard on ESPN today, they have to send permission slips out to teams in order to talk to coordinators and the like during Playoff season. Apparently the Falcons granted the Eagles their permission slip.

 

I....kinda want to make out with you. Let's not forget that Lovie promised us (Bears fans) that his number one priority was to beat Green Bay. I don't remember the last time we beat them. We are definitely going to be in re-building mode for a while.

 

i'm highly confused as to why the falcons would do that. i mean, distraction much?

 

If I were in the playoffs I wouldn't let any of my coaches do interviews until our season was over. I agree it's too much of a distraction.

 

What carnage. I think Wiz would not have been fired if Kolb was any good, but I'm not sure how much input he had into that trade as a coach vs the GM.

The favourites for the Cardinals jobs are internal, I believe. They are also interviewing Reid (AWESOME...)

 

Is Kolb still on the roster for next year? Because it would be pretty funny if Reid got the coaching job and he was stuck with Kolb.

 

Yeah he is at this point. I'm not sure what his contract is though so who knows. Let's try and get Flynn from the Seahawks. Or Vick! lol

 

Lovie's supposedly also interested in the Cards job.

 

Kolb signed a 6 year, $63 million dollar deal when he was traded to the Cards in 2011.

 

That doesn't mean much, because how much is guaranteed and what the cap hit is is much more important. Manning signed a $90m 5 year deal with the Colts and was cut 12 months later.

 

It's not Pittsburgh that wouldn't want to do it. Pittsburgh would do it in a heartbeat if Wiz would come back. It would make Ben happy.

But ... Wiz left Pittsburgh and was not happy. The Tomlin hire blindsided him (and Grimm) and he had some bad things to say about the organization. Just can't see him coming back as a coordinator.

 

At least Chiefs fans can console themselves with the fact that they are now in sole possession of the #1 Draft Pick

 

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but the Cincinnati Bengals currently employ the head coach with the second-longest continuous tenure in the league.

The Bengals, people. The Bengals!

 

Wasn't it this time around a couple of New Year's ago that we thought Marvin was the one that was a goner?

Anyway Jay Glazer on Twitter is saying Caldwell's being courted by the Chargers and Jets, the latter presumably as an OC with Sprano gone and Rex staying on as HC.

 

Please hire all the 'skins staff before this weekend.

 

The thing is, because there aren't any hugely stand outs, we might not even be able to trade. And I just don't think it's worth the risk either. It doesn't matter if Smith isn't worthy of a #1 pick. It's the pick we have, this is the NFL, and you must have a franchise QB. Smith may not work but you at least have to try. Frankly we are so thin at QB, I would do what Washington did and draft multiple QBs.

 

Awww yeah! Until Mike Brown decides to stop paying everyone!

And all these vacancies make me want them to win a playoff game even more, 'cause I don't wanna lose Zimmer.

 

Devin Hester mulls retirement in the wake of Lovie Smith's firing.

 

Deuces.

 

Charles Woodson cleared to play vs Vikings.

 

I would like to "Like" that post a few hundred more times, please fix this mods thank you.
