Marty lives lol granted whoever is hired by Washington May fire him later but it’s still kind of funny

Just how does Hurney manage that… I assume the new consultant from the NBA they hired would get rid of him immediately.

He’s just an advisor to the current GM, but still for him to survive both times that Ron got fired is just chefs kiss

Marty's greatest skill has always been the ability to save his own ass.

I think Kraft is listening to trade offers before pulling the plug on Bill.  Almost a quarter century for a HC in one job is mind boggling in today's NFL.  They haven't been much without Brady and Kraft know this...now.  He needed some time to figure out if it was Brady or Bill behind the success and it was mostly Brady.

I think Belichick molded Brady but later in Brady's career I think he carried Bill more than Bill carried him.

that's probably a good take.  Bill was instrumental in helping Brady become Brady.....but Bill largely just reaped the rewards of what Brady became.

I'd give that credit to Charlie Weis and Josh McDaniels way more than I would Bill Belichick.

Not as many as I'd have expected so far

One less opening.  We may just be looking at the current 5 vacancies.  If so, that's fewer that most years. I would still keep an eye on Belichick.  There's not an urgency to move for Kraft even if that's in the cards.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
