Also, Brian Flores is fucked
The league has proven over and over again you can do absolutely anything, and keep your place in the league
Absolutely everything except show the owners to be a bunch of old white racist motherfuckers.
He can pull up a chair in the same hole as Colin Kaepernick

@mariner4life I forgot the Rangers. Of the Texas variety. Blerk

After a season where Flores probably exceeded expectations, or at least didn't do nearly as poorly as a bunch of coaches, he got the sack much to the surprise of many pundits.
Well, Hue Jackson has come out and said he's got some evidence he was asked to tank as well.
Strap in folks, this shit could get real. The NFL lawyers are world class though, and have avoided discovery at all costs so far. Will be interesting to see if other folk join the class action suit.

Flores: Trust 'lost' with Fins after tanking offer
Brian Flores said on ESPN's Get Up that he refused to "disrespect the game" by taking Dolphins owner Stephen Ross' offer of $100,000 per loss in 2019 to secure a better draft pick.
Untidy
Jackson accuses Browns of incentivizing losing
Former Browns coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday on ESPN's SportsCenter that the Browns had a "four-year plan" that incentivized losing during the first two years which led to his 1-31 record during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

So they admit to taking inducements to lose. Well done fellas…

Can you imagine the time and money spent on googling every reference to Commanders, looking through history books, convening focus groups and committee after committee to ensure it doesn’t have even the slightest hint of anything attached to it.

It can't be just because he is black.... Sure he has Mahomes, but you can't tell me he shouldn't have a HC job already. Just baffling and another example why pundits in the US feel that the owners are taking the piss over the Rooney rule

What I don't quite understand is teams like the Bears going for a defensive head coach. You have a young QB in Justin Fields - the risk you run of having a defensive coordinator as a head coach is you end up recycling offensive coordinators/offensive systems if they are successful as they get picked up for head coaching jobs elsewhere.
Look at what happened to Alex Smith at the start of his career - he had a different coordinator/system every year for the first five years or so of his career with two defensive head coaches (Nolan/Singletary). At least with an offensive head coach you can keep the same system even if you lose the offensive coordinator (see the 49ers this year).

Crazy really. Is it incompetence or racism? I dunno. But as you say, in a league with all these young QBs and where offense rules, how the hell do Bienemy and Leftwich not get HC gigs?

conservative old-school thinking.
Defence is still important. Being able to score 25-points is importanter

As I said in my edit above. Leaving Bienemy and Leftwich, the OCs of the last 2 SB champs on the table seems like lunacy.

Steve Young was asked on PTI if Tom Brady could ever come back. Without any factual basis he said if Brady ever came back it would be for the 49ers, not far from where he played high school ball. Imagine that.... 🥳
He's not the only one saying that - there's definitely rumours around.

The only thing stopping the 9ers from having 1 SB trophy and another trip in 3 years was the QB. How does the uber competitor leave after posting one of the best statistical seasons for QBs this year? Next you'll tell me he idolised Joe Montana as a child....
