2025 NFL coaching carousel

The great Roger Ebert's closing line of the review:
If he wants a future in the movies, Andrew Dice Clay is going to have to play somebody other than himself.

 

Jerry Jones and Belichek together? Does that last longer than his stint with the Jets?

 

I'm wondering if the recent rash of rumor regarding Coach Hoodie is the work of his agent.

 

Jerry and Parcells made it work for 4 seasons. By the time Belichick is done, Stephen will hopefully be holding the keys.

 

It's being portrayed as the growing influence of Brady or the continued incompetence of Davis in the R-J. Both opinions seem correct.

 

Did Fitzpatrick play for 17 years, and never play on a team that made the playoffs? I think so, from scanning his Pro Football ref page. The Jets had one team that went 10-6 with him at the helm, but if Fitzpatrick was your starter for an extended period, you weren't making the playoffs. On the back end of his career, the 2020 Dolphins and Washington 2021 didn't make the playoffs. The best coaches he played for were Flores, Ron Rivera, the final season of Mike Martz in STL as a rookie, or Marvin Lewis.

 

So let's say for the sake of argument that Brady manages to pull strings and engineer a Raider resurgence while retaining his job as Fox' No. 1 NFL analyst. At what point does he decide he wants to watch his team play rather than call somebody else's game? Is there a point at which the NFL actually intercedes and declares that this obvious conflict of interest has to stop?

 

Someone interceding and declaring obvious conflicts of interests have to stop? Not in my America goddamnit.

 

This is the absolute truth. A classic. I was making out with a girlfriend with Ford Fairlane on in the background and laughed out loud when Kurt Loder said the dead rocker's family wanted their privacy and then immediately announced the address of the cemetery where he'd be buried.

 

First, I thought Ford Fairlane was great. Clay took a lot of heat for his comedy, but he was playing a character, not genuinely saying what he thought about women - incidentally, the character was "created" for a movie called "Making the Grade" a pre-brat pack Judd Nelson movie. I always felt the scriptwriter should have sued Clay, who was filling arenas with the character created by someone else.

Second, as a Raider fan I'm hoping the Tedesco move means Brady has convinced Vrabel he can approve of the GM he'll be working with. I don't think he'll get that in NE. And it will cinch it for Vegas. But who knows what Davis is thinking. I wonder if Brady will be dead to NE fans if Vrabel ends up in Vegas. All I know is if I was a player, an agent, or an assistant coach thinking about signing with Vegas, I'd rent, not buy. Clearly, when it comes to the Raiders, what happens in Vegas, doesn't stay in Vegas.
And people want to know how much NFL owners are making each year? They are making enough to pay three or four GMs and coaches NOT to coach their teams every year. Used to be a GM could count on being able to hire at least two coaches before getting shown the door, and a coach would get to pick their qb to live or die with - not anymore.
I still can't believe the NFL allows Brady to dip his toes into both pools. If I was an owner, I'd tell Fox to encourage him to leave. He's not a good enough announcer to justify the rampant conflicts of interest. Its a bad look for the league and they get nothing out of the arrangement.
