    McCaffrey of the Colts (V), Switzer and Doug Pederson were the three coaches with fewer than 50 NFL wins who won Super Bowls.

    I was right the first time. But look up Stram. He had less than 50 NFL wins with the Chiefs, but of course a lot of AFL ones.

    February 2024 is open. And this wasn't supposed to be Tampa's year. Was supposed to be next year. But they had to switch when the Inglewood stadium finished a year later than planned.

    True - had 7 more with the Saints, but still short of 50 NFL wins. I'm just not that tricky though.

    Are the Giants playing? No? Then I'll take Brady. LOL

    Was thinking there were two others, but Switzer was in his second season when he won with the Cowboys.
    George Seifert is the other.

    No, but Steve Spagnuolo is the Chiefs' DC.

    I get the idea of giving Tampa another shot, but I've done Super Bowls in both cities, and while Tampa's OK, it ain't Miami.

    Tampa should get a do-over. I'm actually surprised Dallas hasn't been more in the mix. It's been 10 years. I know they had the huge ice storm in 2011, but I'm guessing Jerry thought he'd be more in the rotation than he is.

    This seems to be a Miami-Tampa-New Orleans-Phoenix-L.A.-random spot rotation now.

    They haven't gone back to Detroit. Nor Indy (which was widely praised). Vegas will get into the mix, for sure. Bay Area seemed unwieldy with everyone in San Francisco, Media Night in San Jose and the game way south in Santa Clara.

    It won't happen, but it'd be nice to throw in a cold-weather site every decade or so. I've long said holding the game here at 5,280 feet would work great. Compact downtown. Stadium close by. We know how to clear streets quickly when it snows. Or it could be 54, like it's forecast to be this Sunday.

    This was dumb how they set that up. If they did it again, they honestly have to set everything up in San Jose. The Stanley Cup worked just fine going between Santa Clara and south to the Tank.

    Take over Great America for the Super Bowl village or wherever the hell it is. Get blocks of hotels in San Jose and have more events in downtown near SJSU. The NFL just wanted the myth of San Francisco rather than embrace what the South Bay can offer.

    Give Jacksonville another one first.

    A pandemic Super Bowl in Jacksonville would’ve been poetic. Would’ve been enough cabs in that case, at least.
