Crazy coaching rumors


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

There were rumors floating around this morning that...

- Andy Reid was being dismissed from the Eagles so they could hire Jon Gruden

- Sean Payton was leaving the Saints head coaching job and would take a position as an assistant coach on the Cowboys staff

I can somewhat understand buying into that first one. But the second one? Seriously? How on earth could anybody buy into that?

The source of the Gruden rumor was apparently the Facebook page of a former Eagles player (yeesh).

The Payton rumor? Apparently it got started because Payton is building a house in Dallas.

(sound familiar?)

Both made their way into internet chatter but have now been scotched by the respective organizations.

The rumor I read on PFT about Payton was that he was going to take a job as GM in Dallas...not quite as ridiculous as the the notion of assistant coach, but ridiculous nonetheless.

Originally saw it in a couple of different places. Some said GM. Others said assistant. I remember thinking "what the heck?" :confused:

The rumors have obviously been dispatched, but I admit I'm still left wondering why Payton wants to live somewhere other than where he coaches. Given just how workaholic some of these guys are, it's hard to imagine wanting to make the job even tougher by living further away from it.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
