Mr. Scot

Also in the area of coaching... Jackson approved?

That's conceivably noteworthy to fans of Ejiro Evero

Speaking of the Pro Bowl... Another upcoming deadline is the 15th. If he's still on the team and nothing is agreed to by that time, he gets a bonus or some such. Other NFL teams know it so they figure they don't have to offer the Raiders anything, just sit back and watch.

I saw some clips of some of the competitions and I honestly disagree. I thought it looked kinda fun. But yeah, the actual "football" game is this weekend.

Doubt we'll ever know if the team said anything directly to Wilks about Holcomb, but Smitty is correct in saying he could at least conceivably have read the tea leaves. And yeah staffing was, by all accounts, a big factor in this search. If you weren't selling people that made the team feel good, well...

I think he's referring to the guy you were quoting. Also, you're not a guy

A thread not strictly related to coaching news, but starting off...

He doesn't have one. It's bullsh-t.

Lady Cowboy Fan and I are very happy together, but we still occasionally talk about our respective exes. When we do, it's typically within the context of being happy that we're no longer in those relationships or sometimes just saying "Man, can't believe I ever put up with that. I feel so much smarter and better about myself now". It can be highly therapeutic to look back at where you used to be and see how far you've come.

As to the question, besides the issues that owners in the league seem to have with him, I'm not really interested in our offense being part of somebody's reinvention tour. That'd feel like having Rob Chudzinski all over again

Regardless of how anybody feels about Bieniemy, I don't really think his coming to another team where he'll be under an offensive coach and won't call the plays fits in with what he's trying to do.

Neither coaching nor news, but a good memory Had they won the Super Bowl, both they and their fans would have been insufferable for eternity. I'll always be grateful to the Giants for sparing us from that

It's reasonable. Probably also helps that the main people doing the interviewing this year actually had a friggin clue about football

His name is Coley Mick. He's a fantasy football / podcast guy who used to work for Barstool Sports. And he doesn't know sh-t

I'm suddenly hearing you in Cheech Marin's voice. I don't honestly know whether I should be or not

Yeah that guy didn't know sh-t.

Equally interesting is Smith confirming that Steve Wilks planned to keep Al Holcomb as his defensive coordinator. Yeah, that...probably didn't help his chances.

"I've been groomed by Gregg Williams"

No but I've seen some updates

You're suggesting this is a "formal" huddler?

Yeah...nice story

In other NFL news, yikes
