I don't understand this groupthink on Jim Harbaugh leaving for the Chargers gig. That sounds like a terrible job in a fairly highly competitive division. Odds are good Sean Payton is going to get Denver back into that yearly playoff hunt. KC isn't going away. The Chargers job just seems like a weird one to go for esp with a historically cheap owner. The Raiders look like they might actually start playing well in the future but they always fuck up the head coach hires so not worried.

I could see Philly if they move on from the guy they have now. Washington maybe but probably not. Atlanta would be a weird marriage. The Chargers have a workable QB situation but little else The Bears could keep or move Fields who's been very meh in his time in Chicago. I guess it just depends on how you feel about Caleb Williams, Penix Jr. and some of the other QBs in the draft but a good many of these jobs are going to be total gambles no matter who is hired because of the unknowns from the QB position.

The cheifs suck so bad this season don't see them doing anything in the playoffs but probably good enough to beat Tua's ass.

All it takes is standing 3-5 yards behind the receivers and wait for the ball to sail your way.

Don't disagree about the Chargers owner, but that's about their only limitation.

They've got a good young QB and all the pieces for a quick turnaround, similar to the 49ers when he took that job.

Maybe I'm being myopic, but I think that division is ripe for disruption too. The Chiefs look old and tired, especially their core. The Broncos are severely kneecapped by the Wilson contract. The Raiders are always a shit show.

I don't think Harbaugh takes that job, but there are *much* worse open jobs in the NFL right now.

Well anyway it's weird seeing the media insistent that Harbaugh MUST go to the NFL. Nobody demanded that of Saban or Dabo. Harbaugh has an NFL background similar to Saban and Pete Carroll and arguably had better success than either of those coaches in the NFL. That doesn't mean he's going back to the league.

Twin Brother Effect. Kind of a one off.

One son with a Super Bowl, another with an NCAA Championship.  If his balls even remotely work I bet dad could sell some sperm.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Jack is 84, so unless his middle name is Abraham.

I didn't realize until I just Googled his age that he was Assistant Head Coach for Michigan this season. What a smarmy move by Micheatagain to do that while he was suspended.

Not surprised there.

But then again he's not exactly working with a who's who of talent and god love him but Burks has been a colossal bust for the Titans.

doubt he stays unemployed long. could very well end up in new england.

the decision to trade brown and draft burks was not his.

I could see the nfl ruining whatever streaming service they go to just like sports and premium channels did for cable. To justify the cost of carrying the games, Amazon/peacock/whoever would likely have to raise subscription prices across the board (even for those that don't get an nfl package)

I guess they run commercials during the stream? What a load of shit.

I've just started paying much attention to the Titans this year, but Vrabel appeared hamstrung to me.
The very pants I was returning.

Texzilla

Titans went down the shitter with the AJ Brown trade, the bust of Burks, and reliance on Tannehill.  All bad things.  Vrabel will get another job this cycle if he wants it. 
Amy Adams doesn't like Vrabel's go fuck yourself attitude and his general disdain of front office types.  She took her opportunity and launched him. 

Better get someone who can develop Levi's and build an offense to take heat off Henry (if he stays)

Texzilla

Holy cow! Pete Carroll promoted to team advisor, no longer Coach of the sea chickens.

Belichik gone.  Rumors Andy Reid might retire at end of playoff run. 

Jimmy Sexton licking his chops.

Mark Andrews returned to practice today for the Ravens. The best team in the NFL just got better.
