Cleveland denied us and five other teams permission to interview Chris Tabor

My comment has been addressed many times.

"lol at everyone that said that can't happen and asking permission is just a formality"

and rightfully so, it seems to be common place for people to deny assistant interviews. However, you gotta agree that "denying an interview" is kind of a dick move.

I mean, I know the NFL has its rules and traditions, but just on the principle of the thing. An interview? I mean does this practice not bother anybody else? This is still America. I dont even think that we necessarily need this guy, but he should be able to work where ever he wants or rather where ever he is going to make the most money.

agree to a point. Of course, there's two reasons that I find it allright - position coach moving to position coach, or interdivisional moves. If a coach is on a team that doesn't have a head coach or that is starting a new staff, it should be granted, but I can understand that, I guess.

Forgot about O'Dea. That'd be a good option.

I figure Rodgers just stays as Assistant ST. They never actually changed his title, did they?

Given the history with Wilks and Rivera, I'd say the only way we get another secondary coach is if they split duties coaching safeties and corners (which I'd be okay with).

it's currently assistant ST.

Which, it's not that Wilks needs "help". I just like grooming a guy. Dishman's a former player and was on the Rivera/Wilks staffs.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
