Mr. Scot

I...just...what?!

On the other side of the ball, regarding next season...

You laugh, but...

Granted, but I don't see him being anyone to be afraid of.

Pretty sure Fangio runs a 3-4. I know he did when he was here as DC under Capers. We've got some elements that could work in that scheme. I know some think Brian Burns would be better suited to that.

Disagree. Opposing teams figured out how to attack Snow's schemes about four or five weeks into the season. We've concentrated a lot of our personnel acquisition on the defensive side, which is probably the only reason we still look even halfway effective there at all.

Being able to play multiple positions is a great thing to have in a backup. Starters really only need to be good at one spot.

I know politicians distribute talking points. It makes you wonder if Matt Rhule does it too

They still have to work together though. But again it circles back to the question, if you have to go to this kind of extreme to save your head coach from himself, why you keeping him?

Here's that word again... Wonder who he got that idea from

Not head coaching news, but an old friend of ours...

I have a hard time seeing that working. Not just because it would be a hugely awkward situation for anybody to come in to a job where the coach was essentially forced to hire them even though he didn't really want to, but also because I've gotta believe a guy like Fangio would have better options available.

We knew he was going to be a success at last tackle...despite the fact that we made a concerted to start anybody else other than him at that spot until we were forced to. Also, the whole "short arms" thing, we didn't really mean that

Of all the coaches I could potentially see Matt Rhule letting go of, Phil Snow is probably last on the list

I wish In reality, I'm just kind of sitting back and being amazed by all the bullsh-t. Even more amazed that our esteemed owner can't see it for what it is.

No, I answered the question. As the saying goes, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I already believed that'd be the case if Rhule stays. What this would seem to make clear though is that the "full of sh-t" gene isn't limited to Rhule.

See @travisura, this is another example. Rather than actually answering any of the things I've said, he remarks about my post count. Again, I'm sure he thinks that makes some kind of point, but it's only in his head.

Regardless of structure, the dynamic between coach and GM is pretty much the same everywhere. The coach sets the system and determines what kind of players he needs to run that system. The GM tries to go out and find players that best fit that profile.

Oh, really?!

The last time that happened, he turned down a job (Jets). Throw in his comments about Joe Brady being "outside his comfort zone" and I think that idea's going to be a tough sell. Mind you, any scenario that would make Rhule rage quit would be perfectly fine with me.

I'd read what he had to say about the kind of power structure it would take to convince him to jump to the NFL. For me, that was one of the reasons why I believed he wouldn't get the job. Then he did, and got exactly what he was asking for I remember cringing at the time but trying to tell myself that it could work. Heck, for a while it looked like it might. But here we are...

As someone pointed out before, it's not really all that necessary at the college level. If you've got superior players or you find a favorable matchup you can easily exploit, you're golden. The checkers vs chess analogy really applies quite well here.
