nitetrain8601 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Wait, the Raiders hired Hugh? I like Hugh, but I think he should've stayed OC. I will say though, I'm definitely not a fan of Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glazer now saying reports out of SF are they're trying to get a deal done tonight with Harbaugh for about 6m a year... well now about 20 minutes later Glazer is saying Stanford has raised their offer and he's leaning there, saying his sources in both spots are insisting he's theirs... seems still up in the air Edited January 7, 2011 by SoxFan562004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one calls them out on it. depends on how and where they couch it... if it's a twitter feed like Glazer has been doing where he really stresses he's hearing stuff from sources and nothing confirmed but updating a lot I don't mind, but when people are breaking stuff on TV and completely wrong I do hate it. Worst is when ESPN doesn't break a story, then they try to back door it so it looks like they did, ie "Chris Mortensen confirms earlier reports of...." completely ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Brees, and having Sean Payton wouldn't have anything to do with it.. having a franchise QB is pretty much to main thing you need to be successful in this league.. aside from the fact there would have been better success and Saban more than likely wouldn't have left..

witesoxfan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The Rooney rule is so counterproductive. African American coaches are turning down interviews because they don't believe teams are actually serious about hiring them. It's the same thing in MLB too. You are leaving these coaches discouraged to the possibility of them actually being hired. The best man should be considered and hired for the job as it is. If an African American is worthy, they are worthy, and if not, then they shouldn't be interviewed. Oh, and TRU, I don't think you can know that Brees is doing what he did in his final two years in San Diego and New Orleans in Miami. He'd probably be just fine, but perhaps not.

Leonard Zelig Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Do these new overtme NFL playoff rules only apply to the opening drive of OT? Edited January 7, 2011 by Leonard Zelig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first team to get the ball kicks a FG on the first drive, then the other team gets a chance to at least tie or beat them. After that, its sudden death.

But he was very succesful with the Jags. Led them to the AFC Conference finals twice and won coach of the year. He had NFL coaching experience prior to being the head coach for Boston College but it was nothing more than an assistant and only had head coaching gigs in college (Rochester something another and BC).

lostfan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks like Harbaugh is going to take a 5-year contract with SF. Lots of hype and lots of money, I don't know the dollar amount but he's probably going to be making more money than a lot of other NFL coaches and he's never been a pro coach before.
