He pretended to be interested in an NFL job last year to get a big raise out of PSU. No way does that work 2 years in a row.
Sure, why not?

Oh that's right. The username.
I was worried we couldn't post pictures with Brady and his panties anymore.
Or Cutler in a skirt.
Or a picture of Brady wearing uggs.
Oh I know.
Now I'm trying to remember who's alt Hotdog guy was. It was so obvious at the time but I can't remember now.
He had a bonus from Nike for 850k if he stayed until today.
I want to say it was a Bucs fan posing as a Jet fan, but I really don't remember either.
In other news, I'm off to Vegas for new years. Happy New Years NFL-GAF!

Belichick isn't exactly the typical coach, but sure. But as just one example, I would argue McCarthy has little to no input on the defense for the Packers. He's said as much a few times. I'm sure he has general oversight and as the defense has struggled he's gotten more involved, but I doubt he's putting any significant input into something as specific as a defensive gameplan week to week. .As a general rule though I'd imagine that as a defensive guy, Carroll is not going to provide the same level of input to his offense as McCarthy does to his, so Bevell has a good amount of free reign.
We call that getting "dragoned"
Strategy v. tactics
What are the chances that Ray Rice is done in Baltimore. He seemed very unhappy towards the end of the season and there is this
That is a quote from Harbaugh on why Rice didn't play in the first half against the Bengals.

You were arguing that Carroll is to Bevell as McCarthy is to Philbin. I don't think that's a fair comparison, that's all. McCarthy's offense is his baby. Carroll's is his D
Too much sand.
I thought someone said that the mods were conducting an investigation into SimpBox's alts and he was banned until further notice or his daddy ransoms up a Kraftian fee.

Another Post-Season without the Raiders.
To Distract me from Draft Speculation I follow this simple formula to find out who to cheer for:
1. Team that does not have a direct Rivalry to the Raiders.
2. Team with the most former USC Players
Time to figure out which team to root for.

Should just watch 3 Stooges reruns and pretend to watch Browns press conferences.
No I wasn't. I was saying that Bevell had Philbin role, not that Carroll had McCarthy's role.
If you go back and listen to Tuesdays With Aaron after the 2011 season, Rodgers went into detail about how it was almost all Philbin doing the weekly strategy work and that's what would be missed most (remember everyone was like "BFD McCarthy calls the plays" and Rodgers was ticked off about it) and McCarthy came in at the end to devise play calling around that strategy.
Bevell does the same, he devises the strategy (with Baldy McAssault as Hitokage said) but it just so happens he also calls the plays. Carroll just kind of has a general "be aggressive, let's pass, let's run focus, let's play more read" input as far as I can tell. But again, no one fucking reports on the Seahawks so that is a lot of assumptions based on a snippets of interviews.

If you don't take PEDs in the NFL you play like the Steelers or Cowboys on defense. Does anyone really want to see that?
GB is definitely the favorite, but a lot of people are jumping on that bandwagon thinking that Rodgers alone is going to make the rest of the team good. That is giving me pause.
Also they are playing at home and the only thing Rodgers hates more than cancer victims is playing in Wisconsin (judging this solely by his playoff record).
Ranking the job openings:
1. Detroit - good talent, loyal ownership
2. Tampa Bay - young talent, immediate turnaround probable
3. Washington - meddling owner, but franchise qb
4. Houston - decent talent, could win quickly but more likely taking the helm of a sinking ship
5. Minnesota - no qb, no stadium, no future
6. Cleveland - Lombardi is a disaster, only take this job if you don't have another one

why? Squicken is still here.
Position coach > College coach > NFL coordinator > NFL Head Coach (real franchise) > Fired > Raiders head coach > Fired > Analyst > Sex Assault scandal > Janitor > Self Help Therapist > Browns Head Coach
That's the only acceptable career trajectory (or something similar) that would force you to take that Cleveland job, imo. That basically leaves Lane Kiffin, Jim Tressel and Ray Rhodes.
Enjoy, Cleveland.

I begrudgingly have to agree with eznark on something.
. Washington is a better job than people want to give it credit for , but I guess they're fine where you have them on the list. I'd argue that the Glazers are just as bad an owner in different ways, but the Bucs do have more talent and Glennon will be good. And the Lions will always suck. The city they inhabit casts too dark a shadow
Probably why they haven't fired Ray Horton yet. Get him to do the interview for them.

Oh, lemme do one Ez!
Offensive Quality Control > Defensive Quality Control > Quality Control > Assistant QB Coach > Lions QB Coach
"I don't need no stinkin' QB Guru, I got Todd Downing, motherfuckers!"

I know you remember that TWA I'm talking about right? I think we talked about it.

The big positive for Snyder and the Glazers is that they will spend money in free agency. They may also drop big cash on washed up losers or kickers without consulting the coaching staff.

Redskins will interview Panthers DC Sean McDermott over the weekend. I dunno about that from the Skins perspective.
Sean's done an amazing job this year with the defense, but I'm not sure if he's ready for a head coaching gig. I also don't think he's the right man to handle the 6'2 220 lb headache that comes with that team.

The type of offense Seattle runs(balanced with mobile QB and emphasis on explosive plays) is entirely dictated by Carroll, just as much as the type of defense we run(4-3/3-4 Hybrid). Even if we changed OCs, it would remain largely similar to how it is now as Carroll isn't hands-off. Carroll is known to override offensive playcalls on occasion too.
Furthermore, one should remember that Carroll would be the one hiring any prospective replacement.

It's happening, at least in computing to some degree.
The NFL has a hard cap. Spending money in free agency is usually the sign of a stupid organization. Not sure that is a plus. This isn't baseball where you can buy your way to success.
If there is extra money you want your owners spending it on the best scouting, equipment, doctors and obviously steroids. That is where you can get an advantage.
