  1. Tampa does have a bit of a history with hiring minority coaches. I could see Atlanta also being interested, but I don't think the timing would be suitable. There has been a little talk about the window now being closed in Detroit, but I would be surprised if Campbell is out if they have a bad year. As a real dark horse, with all the rumors of internal strife, the Eagles maybe. Stays in PA, contender team, would have to be a disaster to not continue his winning season streak.
  2. I think the only owners that Tepper outpaces, and it is very, very close, is Woody Johnson, Mike Brown and Jimmy Haslam. He is just behind Stephen Ross, who has actually done damage to his own team with tampering penalties, but has had slightly more success on the field.
  3. I think I am more pointing out the ridiculousness of the story, which is probably an attempt to make a woman running the team in a male-dominated sport a little more legitimate. No one in 3rd grade was having those conversations. A better establishment of being a serious and legitimate NFL owner is perhaps not making reckless trades, rather than concocting stories about how precocious and natural your business acumen and strong leadership skillset has been since elementary school.
  4. Personally, not being a girl in the 3rd grade, or at any time, I never knew that they were discussing NFL front offices and effective franchise ownership while in the school bathroom, but obviously this story tells it differently. As terrible as Tepper is, it seems there could always be worse. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48818826/indianapolis-colts-owner-carlie-irsay-gordon-learned-key-lesson-3rd-grade
  5. Dave Canales in a NFL trivia contest with other head coaches. https://youtu.be/yiaPyr8GRjo?si=sji807OyQUVFvRCf
  6. Yeah, I just don't know how it can be justified to keep the status quo of Canales and/or Young on a 7-10 mark, or worse. I get that Canales never got to select his guy, but he knew that coming in too. We've seen a couple examples recently of coaches getting that 1 last shot with a newly drafted QB, and they've been sent packing anyway and then the talk is how it's a lost season for the rookie's development.
  7. Would be a potentially good spot. I sort of think if he does return to coaching it would be in the NFC. There's a trend of avoiding the awkward showdowns and return visits when you really start to look at many of those next stops.
  8. Tomlin might be done. IDK. He's won a Superbowl. He knows what it takes and that he was in an exceptionally supportive and patient environmont, and that is not the norm. You never know really how the competitive fire is going to burn in someone like that, and everyone has a price I guess, but I would not be at all shocked if ends up more following the career path of former Steelers coach Cowher and never going back to the sideline.
  9. The incentive is always they could be the 1 that is able to extract whatever potential they initially saw in the prospect, while getting that oppurtunity at a massively steep discount. It usually doesn't work out, but teams can't resist the fool's gold allure of it all.
  10. Not sure about how the salary cap would handle that, but we are probably on the hook for whatever money he would have coming anyway.
  11. I know what I made as a radio broadcaster for a smaller college basketball team right out of college. It was not much, even for then, but that was 30 years ago, and a different market and different sport. Didn't Rosinski get his nose out of joint because they didn't give him an NFC Championship ring? I seem to recall that beng at least part of the story.
  12. He will be 1 of the sought-after names next year, and there will be a contender that for whatever reason feels a change is necessary. He will have his choice of destinations if he still wants to be in the job market.
  13. If we draft a qb in the top 10, Young will be traded for whatever they can get, which will not be much. The Jets gave up a 7th and got a 6th from the Broncos when they dealt former #2 overall Wilson. Failing that, outright cut and released.
  14. I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.
  15. Canales has a 13-22 record. That does include the playoff game. I'm not so sure another losing season means he is safe. Assuming a 7 win season which is the over/under, does 20-32 after 3 years equal safe?
  16. RE: The Colts. Pretty sure I remember hearing 1 of Irsay's daughters is running the whole show now and thought it was a good idea to trade those picks away for Gardner. There was a photo of her wearing a coaching headset on the sidelines during last season. Might be 1 of those things where there is no one able to tell her no.
  17. He won't though, unless it is the way Kenny Pick-it is a Superbowl champion. Hell, even Adam Morrison managed to win 2 NBA championships with the Lakers.
  18. Yeah, I don't know in what world that counts as looking good. Really, expecting and counting on any significant contribution from him is foolishness.
  19. Why would I care about a Niners player and what that player is getting? I am not a Niners fan, and have no comment on what they might pay their players. It's not my concern.
  20. The Niners game was awful. The usually shitty defense came to play for whatever reason at the start. That said, you can't begin to excuse that Seahawks game performance by saying the opponent was just too good, and then claim that Young is a franchise QB. That is the exact scenario that a franchise QB is supposed to overcome. The math ain't mathing, and It just doesn't work.
  21. That's not a bad comparison. Austin is a little more geared towards being a counter-culture college town, "Keep Austin Weird," but the increase in blondes is certainly a thing. It should be a good Superbowl site, with plenty for out-of-towners to do and blow money on, if the weather cooperates.
  22. I last visited Nashville about 10 years ago. It had a cool little downtown area, and you could walk right over to the stadium from it. I am sure things have changed, but I know they do good business in conventions and bachelorette parties and related. Maybe there are infrastructure improvements on the way as part of the stadium. The new stadium will be domed, but I wouldn't trust central Tennessee weather in early February.
  23. The team won the division 3 consecutive times with Newton under center. That would be back-to-back-to-back years of making the postseason. Bryce Young is no Cam Newton.
