Incredible... Wait, I meant "very good"

First Simms doesn't really pay attention to the Panthers and Rivera. He pays attention to the myth but not the reality. 

Like he didn't realize that as good and respected Rivera is considered, he had only had 3 winning seasons. 

In the same way he thinks that hurney always has stout lines and doesn't get pushed around. Further evidence he's not paying attention.

I did like that they brought up the assumption that Rivera will find a job right away. People thought the same thing about Holmgren, yet here he sits unemployed still even though he's probably a stronger candidate than Rivera with a much better record.

So what is the problem? Teams are looking for younger, more progressive coaches. They are also looking more at offensive coaches willing to build be a team with a young QB. With the exception of Holmgren being an offensive coach, that makes both guys undesirable dinosaurs as far as a lot of teams are considered.

The assumption that Ron will have no problem getting another HC job doesn't take into account the direction most teams are wanting to go, which isn't too far from the direction Tepper wants to go.

Ron might get a job quickly, but it's far from the sure thing a lot of people make it out to be.

Yeah, I caught that from Simms too. I was like "what?"

To be clear though, did you mean Holmgren or McCarthy?

If you are very good at something you are by default too valuable to be let go.

Nah, just you.

See I told you that you ascribe behaviors to others you possess yourself. You said I would say nah, unh, thats you. And you just did the same thing. Nah, just you. So predictable it is funny.

"Nuh uh, that's you" would mean "That's what you do, not me".

"Nah, just you" means, "You're the only person I think that about".

So sorry, wrong again

And I'm bored now, so unless you've actually got something interesting to discuss...

McCarthy, but I always got them mixed up. My wife called them the walrus twins.

There you go. My nah uhn, thats you is different than your nah just you. And tell me again how only I go back and forth with posters about what was said. Two things. It takes two to argue and you always seem up to the challenge. And secondly most people who say they are bored all the time are that way, because they are usually boring themselves.

Fair enough. Throw Andy Reid in there and you've got triplets.

Curious. What'd you think of Tepper's gaffe?

I started a thread as a joke a few days ago about me hoping we just kept Hurney for first round draft picks, it's looking like a reality now.

Man, should have hoped Tepper would give me $500k, I aint greedy!

Well, to be fair, it looks like he'll be limited to the whole draft. I support you in your effort to get paid by Tepper though (as long as you share).

What interests me also is I think if you're a current member of the scouting staff or the personnel department, ya gotta be a little nervous right about now (funk soul brother).

Mr. Scot obsessing over Marty yet again.  I'm SHOCKED.

Yeah Reid made for the trifecta there. 

But Tepper backpedaling there....it was funny. I think he wants hurney to be incredible, but he understands that upon further inspection, he ain't all that and even in the areas that he does well in, he's replaceable. Hurney is a safe option to keep around for the draft, but if Tepper can find someone who can do it better, he's going to pull the trigger.

Yeah, even in the Voth interview his phrasing was "not a bad manager" (a "damning with faint praise" kind of line).

Looking at it now, I expect Hurney and staff will be around through the draft, but in that capacity only. After that? Up in the air.

Notable that after the draft is when Kevin Colbert's contract expires.

Coincidence?

[Krovvy]

Damn. You guys are really reading into what you want here.

[Moo Daeng]

Like I said...He'll be GM until he isnt.  Probably got a nice little bonus to make sure offseason items (FA and Draft) are being tended to then he gone.
