For years, whoever was the coach of the Bengals along with whoever managed the Reds were the worst.

If there's any good news, the Bengals did reach the Super Bowl this year with the same upper management structure they've had in place from the beginning. However, Reds management recently gave the fans the finger, so not all is going well there.

The Hornets were 1 game away from the playoffs this season.

The Panthers have won 10 games the past two seasons.

The latter is infinitely worse than the former. 

I would argue that being one game away from the playoffs is the worst possible finish in the NBA. In a league where your fortunes depend heavily upon the top 3 players on your roster, if you're going to miss the playoffs, miss them big. Being stuck in the middle of the pack in the NBA is purgatory, you're never bad enough to get good enough picks to get meaningfully better.

The problem with that line of thinking is that with the new lottery odds, tanking doesn't guarantee you near as much in the NBA as it does in the NFL. Far better to try and compete.

Of professional coaches in one city?

 

JB is massively underachieving with his horrendous defensive philosophies, getting blown out two years in a row in the play in game and already wasted two years of LaMelo’s career.

 

then there’s Matt Rhule

It figures you would be one of the ones who think JB is a bad coach.

Borrego is not head coach material. At least not at this point. He seems better suited as a #2. Some guys are just better at being a top assistant than they are as the top dog.  Bill Guthridge, Bud Foster, etc. 

Ruhle is a college coach. Not a good NFL coach at all. Both franchises won’t be able to take the next step until they replace both of these guys. Nothing personal because JB and Ruhle both seem like decent men but they are not getting the job done here.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
