Bengals apparently have it down to the final 2 for their new DC. I assume Golden is who they hope accepts.

[Mr B]

I think Michigan coach also didnt sign his contract well into the season. But Bill screwed up teams like this before so I understand the skepticism.

Yea he did it to the Jets before going back to the Patriots to be their HC.

Odd that he hasn’t signed the contract yet and odd that he hasn’t finished hiring all of his staff, which was reported yesterday. It’s not really a surprise that he would still be recruiting at this point considering he hasn’t officially met with anyone regarding an NFL HC job. The fact that he hasn’t signed and hasn’t completed his staff kind of makes me think he’s waiting to see what happens in the NFL. I could be wrong though.

Lombardi, the UNC "GM" went on the Pat McAfee show and said that they're running strength and conditioning program to prepare recruits for the pros.

He claimed they're not going anywhere but admitted he hasn't signed a contract either.

Yea I saw Lombardi’s quote. More than likely he’s right and the signing of the contract is just a formality. Belichick’s history though says they better get that contract signed ASAP because there are no guarantees with Bill until his name is on the dotted line.

and isn't there the provision that bill's buyout drops to pretty much nothing in the summer?

that's pretty late to bring in a head coach though

none of this seems to indicate that bill is planning on staying in college very long

It drops down to $1M but I think that is after he has coached there for 1 season.

Jerry should have resigned McCarthy to an extension cause Dak had the BEST season with McCarthy dialing in plays off the texas coast offense due to extending Dak in the offseason as they are tied to the hip. Had JJ not do that, then it would be better to let them both walked with a new HC choosing his own QB. And BB doesn’t even call plays but manage and would likely bring in his sidekick Josh as OC. It would probably be another players mutiny rising than trying to adopt the rigid Patriots Way in Dallas.

McCarthy didn’t want to sign for 1 year. Jerry did offer him a deal (reportedly) of 1 year with a 2 year option (team option). He turned it down, rightfully so.

Both did the right thing.
After 5 years MM didn’t deserve four or five more years.
Offering a two year extension with the ability to fire him next year was best MM deserved.

I think he'll set up the shop this season and pass UNC on to his son in a year or so. Considering the rumors of his son's coke addiction UNC might in for a ride.

No NFL team will hire him in summer though, training camps will have already started.

[QB_Eagles]

How is one supposed to prepare a playoff game like this?

They should interview the Titans OC instead; after all when the Eagles inevitably lose in the playoffs he was just as successful.

BB should just stay at UNC because in NFL circles, he will always be known as the guy who push the GOAT out the door. It's why no team wanted him last season, so why should that change this season? If the Cowboys struggles to win under BB, he will blame the QB and will try to push Dak out.as well using the Broncos as the prime example with the whole Sean/Russell hate fest. The Cowboys will end up eating most of Dak's contract in dead money just like Denver while BB bring in his guy. Seems like I have forecast how this will end up when most here cannot due to their continuous hate towards Mike McCarthy.

So if JJ wants to do the right thing, just resign McCarthy and give him that long contract he wants to continue coaching Dak cause they do belong with each other.

[El Turco]

Is eagles offense even better than last two years outside of Saquon?

Maybe it is better he is not preparing the team.

If we don't win the SB, fire Sirianni and promote Moore. Simple as we saw how horrible our offense was last season under Sirianni with a different OC. If we win the SB, bubeye Kellen.

Some desperate team will offer him a job as long as he is willing to listen. If old heads like Carroll getting interviews Belichick will easily find a job.

It has to be a ownership that is willing to do his thing, he cant work with someone like Jerry Jones. That's why some teams could be reluctant, Belichick the coach is great but Belichick the GM is mediocre at best.

That’s not why no one hired him last season. Only Patriots fans care about what went down between Belichick and Brady. Besides it’s not like that was the end of Brady’s career.

I think didn’t hire him because his act had worn thin around the league. He’s a difficult personality to be around and from all reports he’s kind of a prick. Plus his age. I think most teams are looking for the young up and coming coordinator as opposed to the retread HC. Plus the track record for coaches that have already won a SB elsewhere is not very good.

Without Saquon that team doesn’t even make the playoffs.

Why fire Sirianni if you don’t win the SB? The SB is not important. The fans are entertained and have bragging rights over teams who do less. That’s all that matters.

[Mr B]

Niners doing their best to keep Saleh as their DC. I believe he will also get an offer from the Cowboys for the same position.
