Vikings and Browns should still be open. I assume one is grabbing McDaniels and the other Del Rio.

Actually, Denver's defense has kinda sucked this year, so Del Rio might have to go to college instead.

Check that: Vikings and Browns last teams with HC openings. Mike Zimmer meeting with Vikings today. Jim Caldwell hired in Detroit.

I still don't get why the Vikings are looking at a defensive minded HC with all the issues they have at QB.

Gettleman closed out press conference by praising former GM Marty Hurney: "He has a lot to be proud of. He left us with a heck of a core."

On the one hand, he did draft Cam, Kuechly, Hardy, CJ, Davis, both running backs, Gross, Kalil, Wharton, Captain, and he fleeced the Bears for Olsen.

On the other hand, lololololololololololol

They're in a division with Rodgers, Stafford, and Cutler. Stopping them should be more of a priority than being able to outscore them, in my opinion. Despite having Cassel, Ponder and Freeman this season, the Vikings offense actually wasn't terrible, at least statistically. With a more competent QB and another developmental offseason for Patterson, they should be fine on offense.

Despite the issues at QB the team didn't have issues getting points on the board. They lost a SURPRISING number of games by one TD or less. On top of that a lot of those were lost on last minute defensive collapses.

Off the top of my head, Browns, Bears, Ravens, Packers, and Cowboys were all games that were lost due to having zero defense on a final drive.

With a slightly improved defense the Vikings could have been at minimum a .500 team. It's embarrassing.

Browns should go for broke and win the sweepstakes and hire a high school head coach.

This situation is rather pathetic for the Browns at this point. I can't remember a head coaching vacancy being this noxious before. The only way I see them getting out of this looking good is if they wooed Gus Malzahn, which is probably impossible.

With Caldwell gone I really hope the Ravens don't promote from within. We need a fresh face and ideas for this offense. I have no idea who that could be but in Ozzie we trust.

It's telling that with all the rah rah Twitter types, no one has said "great hire" on the Caldwell thing. Maybe that's good?

Sure seems like no one wants it. I just really thought they had their guy when they fired Chud. Now it seems like he or Norv will go to BAL to be OC. Double the pain for CLE

Oh?

@Benvolin
Good hire RT @AdamSchefter: Detroit Lions are hiring Jim Caldwell as their head coach, per league source.

Ben has been covering the pats this year after being with Miami though so he's clearly lost any good he had left.

Using QB wins in the playoffs is pretty dumb in and of itself. Last week Wilson threw the ball 18 times. In his other playoff win he threw the ball 26 times. It's clear with the rest of his team, he doesn't have to throw the ball as much as someone like Stafford. I'm not praising Stafford, just saying kinda crazy to compliment a dude going 9/18 against a mediocre defense at home.

I 100% agree. I'm not a fan of using a team stat to measure individual accomplishments. I just wanted to poke fun at Kas!

Stafford has the disadvantage of costing a bajillion dollars more than Wilson or Kaepernick so his team can't go out and get useful veteran depth like Michael Bennett, a guy who had a pretty big impact for Seattle this weekend.

Would a good HS coach even take the job?

Coaching HS football in Texas is a more prestigious job than coaching the Browns.

It's a decent game. Had severe framerate issues on PS3 when I played it, not sure if those have been fixed with the Premium edition. Velocity Ultra is a fantastic game though, great time waster when on public transit.

I have the PSP version, loved it I guess I could play it again, Is enslaved unplayable? I'm not that picky when it comes to stuff like resolution/frame rate like other gamers tend to be.

As someone who is also generally immune to frame rate stuff I found Enslaved to be decent. For $5 you could do worse.

It's crazy to think any football coach would ever agree to coach a mediocre NFL team, especially considering the team is one of a handful of NFL jobs that open up each year and is owned by a billionaire who will write huge payoff checks. They'll probably have to hire a soccer coach from a different country who doesn't know anything about the Browns.
