Mr. Scot

For the record, I've seen multiple sources confirming the stories regarding Bobby Slowik, Pete Carroll and Liam Coen. Still no one other than Florio talking about Robert Saleh. And yeah, Liam Coen is a dick

And also... Sure didn't see that coming Edit: So far Florio seems to be the only national news source reporting this. Have seen a lot of 49er fans talking about it but nobody outside of Florio reporting. Can't say if this is legit or not. If it isn't, I guess Florio got suckered

Here's a surprise... Remember when he was a popular head coach candidate?

Updating: Newton was featured pretty heavily in last night's episode as well, but it didn't exactly paint a pretty picture. Cam failed two physical challenges, one of which because he instantly panicked. The first of the two involved getting through a room full of CS gas to recover a laptop. (insert comment here) His attitude was once again an issue with the DS staff, though Newton explained privately that part of what helps him compete in any challenge is to make sure he's having fun. That's something I think most would understand, but it didn't necessarily sit well with the ultra-serious special forces guys. End result was that he spent a lot of the episode brooding, but also being encouraged by his fellow castmates. Two more episodes remain...

Keep him this far into the offseason just to dump him now? Oy

Sorry, can you repeat that? I wasn't listening (actually I was, I just disagree)

Bel Albright speculation on coaching jobs (posted prior to the Johnson and Glenn hires) Mike McCarthy or Joe Brady to the Saints?

This seems... familiar

Possible word on an old friend...

Saw this from a Jets fan...

Ranked above Cam Newton, who's at #5

Speaking of... Not sure when Morgan "fell on the sword" or what that involved

Apparently they hired several folks represented by a former Bear turned agent in Trace Armstrong. As I understand it, the article talks about Armstrong having a lot of influence despite lousy results.

An article with some of the highlights... ESPN Article sheds embarrassing light on Bears internal operations The original article by Kalyn Kahler at ESPN... How agents impact coaching searches, and why the NFL cares Haven't read it yet, but several people are saying it puts the McCaskeys in a pretty bad light.

Breer, Fowler and others confirmed Johnson had genuine interest. Truth is we all say that sort of thing about teams like the Raiders, the Browns, the Jets, etc. But someone always takes those jobs, and it's frequently a prime candidate. Even the worst team in the NFL is still an NFL team.

Video from last year of Schoen discussing draft options with his kids...

Schoen and Morgan were colleagues in Buffalo. If the Giants give him the heave ho, I could see Morgan giving him a pure scouting job.

You might see some changes post draft.

I understand prioritizing a quarterback. I don't understand that quarterback being Daniel Jones

I think you're in the wrong thread, dude.

I don't mind taking runningbacks high if they're someone special like Barkley. If you don't have a good line in place though, that's not gonna make up for it.

Here's one that turned out to be ironically prophetic...

It's who they prioritize, though. Joe Schoen has a pretty good rep when it comes to talent scouting. As a team manager though, not so much.

Fowler, Breer and Russini aren't Raider sources. Also followed Schefter, Jonathan Jones, Florio and others. Don't necessarily try to post all the links anymore since it's become a huge pain in the ass As an aside, Aaron Wilson used to be one of the best national sources but he's fallen off for some reason. For Chicago news, I generally look to Brad Biggs. Vic Tafur is a good one for the Raiders. Also Vincent Bonsingiore from the Vegas Review Journal. Those guys are basically the equivalent of people like Mike Kaye A lot of what I saw from the Chicago side came from a local guy named Jacob Infante who was pretty openly rooting for the Bears to get Johnson but fearing they wouldn't. He's not as connected as someone like Biggs, but he was pretty active.
