Mr. Scot

Martin Mayhew is. Wonder what the hell happened

Campbell might be talking to an old friend of ours...

FYI: The Falcons are hiring Dave Ragone as their OC, so Frisman Jackson is staying. Barring any surprises, our staff should pretty much stay as it is now.

There might be other options if they had an owner that had any sense. Of course, if they had an owner that had any sense, they probably wouldn't be where they are now.

I have a hard time believing that. If this were true, surely the team would have offered Chuck a job by now.

Word is they're talking to Saints DB coach Aaron Glenn for the DC job. Haven't seen any mention of who the OC might be but I'd expect them to have a Saints background, maybe Dolphins from his time there.

Fitterer's comments today framed things in the long term, indicating that we'd try to be competitive right now but the wins are probably down the road. I suppose a big splashy move is still possible, but I'm not expecting it.

They made it clear to every candidate they interviewed that the plan was to stick with Carson Wentz.

Pretty much. I normally wouldn't be in favor of something like that, but given that they stupidly promised him to be part of the process and then didn't follow through with it, they need to do something.

Sure. Just stop making new screen names and that problem solves itself.

Spielman used to have a daily radio show on a sports station in Columbus. Heard him plenty while I was living in Ohio. Even got to meet him a couple of times. Rosenthal's comment about Spielman hiring Spielman is absolutely spot on.

For the record, I've never been bitten on the kneecap. (not by a human, anyway)

The presser ran for something like an hour and a half. Reports said at one point he spoke for 19 minutes straight without stopping.

Might be the most colorful coach we've seen since Jerry Glanville. Reactions have run the gamut from "hell yeah, this is what the Lions need" to "OMG this clown will be fired in three years". The most balanced take I've seen is that his success or failure is going to depend heavily on who he picks as coordinators. In the meantime, maybe the Lions should invest in a WWE style music and video intro package to be played when he comes out to his press conferences.

Raheem Morris to the Rams...

That's a not so great moment in draft history for about 20 NFL GMs.

General belief is that Moton will be getting the franchise tag. Fitterer is said to be a good people person. Maybe he can talk him into re-signing.

I probably wouldn't either, but how often do you get an opportunity to be an NFL head coach? Watson wants him and Mahomes recommended him, so I definitely understand if the Texans hire him. What I guess they have to hope at this point is that Nick Caserio can turn things around. And I'm pretty sure Caserio didn't want his first newsworthy action as GM to be losing DeShaun Watson.

Being reported now that they've officially signed him.

A little later in the presser, he explained how he was going to kick Triple H's ass at WrestleMania. Also, per the Lions Twitter, this is the nameplate outside his office.

FYI: Aaron Wilson seems to be hinting that the Texans are going to choose between Eric Bieniemy and Leslie Frazier.

Gotta believe that decision has a lot to do with Carson Wentz. Kinda makes sense. If you can't get Frank Reich back, take one of his people.

Earlier today it was reported that the Steelers are talking to Hue Jackson about their OC job. Things could get really entertaining in Pittsburgh next year.

Aaron Wilson indicated there's progress toward that happening.
