How do you feel that from how Tepper sounded that this was a Hurney hire? Granted Tepper agreed with him but still sounded like he gave Hurney rein on the interviews and such. 

I mentioned this in another thread this morning after watching a replay of the presser late yesterday.  It certainly gave me a sick feeling in my stomach.

Well, we got a great up and coming coach, shat on the New York Giants, and made nippleshorts look like a dumbass all in one sign of the pen. I'll take it, Hurney's part in this is irrelevant.

Being reported now that the Cowboys are not retaining OL Coach Marc Colombo or WR Coach Sanjay Lal.

I'd take those two in a heartbeat, especially Colombo.

I was wondering where did Sanjay disappear, although I got the feeling he was more of a TE guy :thinking:

Wasnt he fired for being terrible?

He's had an interesting path.  It looks like Tom Coughlin brought him in when he joined the Giants back in 2004 and he was there until Coughlin left in 2015.  That's when McAdoo took over, and moved on from Flaherty.  The offense hasn't been the same since Flaherty left (obviously chicken and egg type thing).  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/

Then he joined Chip Kelly's staff in 2016 in San Francisco, who all got fired at the end of the year and Kyle Shanahan took over.  Kyle has his own blocking schemes, so it was a natural thing that Flaherty got the boot with Kelly.  Then Coughlin/Marrone and the Jags picked him up, and they made that run to the AFC Championship game together in 2017.  Then after the bad 2018 season, he was one of the coaches that got let go.  In 2019 he was brought on to the Dolphins, but apparently there was a rift with the head coach and possibly upper management about something.  They said "failure to implement the scheme" or something like that, but something sounds fishy about that because it was still July.  How the hell can you fully evaluate an offensive line coach in July of his first training camp?

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
