Agreed. Graham should be suing too. Circles back to our black coaches conversation. The next time a black coach with such a sparse track record as Coen gets this much love/money will be the first time.

From Sando at The Athletic: Jaguars: See if this sounds like a precursor for long-term stability. Owner Shad Khan, who entered the 2024 season by declaring his roster the best in franchise history, pursued Liam Coen, a one-year NFL coordinator, as if Coen were Vince Lombardi incarnate. Khan initially retained Baalke, then fired the GM to help land Coen. According to Albert Breer, the Jaguars then kept secret Coen's second visit to the team so they could trick Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham into satisfying the Rooney Rule for them. They did all this to land a coach with one season of coordinating experience and question marks on his resume. Coen left the NFL to become Kentucky's offensive coordinator in 2021. He returned to the NFL in 2022, then rejoined Kentucky as offensive coordinator in 2023, then returned to the NFL in 2024. This past week, Coen interviewed with the Jaguars, withdrew from consideration, accepted (but did not sign) an offer from Tampa Bay contingent upon not re-engaging with Jacksonville, then met with the Jaguars secretly and accepted their offer without keeping the Buccaneers apprised.

Kansas City. And it isn't close for me.

I thought the Bills got a first twice on that drive.

3M rabid fans. A 50% increase from 2M. Sounds like Padres fans are having fun.
-
I have no interest in parsing those years for bad injury lack, bad trades, good ones, bad deals, or good ones. Under his watch one of baseball's most apathetic fan bases became rabid. Sign me up all day for that fun.

My issue is that nothing in this world is more tied to antiquated, "this is how it's always been" nonsense than baseball. When we buck that nonsense (see: pitch clock), the game is better for it. The mentality that voted against Ichiro is almost certainly of the nonsensical BS that baseball needs to be done with. Yup, he's in, but there is zero rational reason to have voted no. And that's an issue, whether it prevented him from getting in or not.

The San Diego Padres have won their fan base, made the playoffs, and been one helluva joy for their fans year in and year out. In baseball, the playoffs are cruel and rarely reward those who deserve it most. It shouldn't be the end-all, be-all of judging a process.

I would've agreed with 2023 if 2024 had maintained that momentum....but it didn't. Worst of all....this team is just very same-y. Especially on offense. They can't run. They are really streaky hitters. Defensively they have some issues. Their right/left splits and platoons are problematic. I would've felt a lot better had Julien not face planted. If Royce Lewis hadn't showed us more red flags than green ones. Brooks Lee debuted and killed it. If Wallner could've stayed up. If Correa could've stayed on the field. If we still had hope that "Buxton is an MVP guy" could be real. It isn't and it won't be ever again. I also would feel better if there was more hope of rebounds and debuts. E-Rod is exciting. But he's the 87th left handed hitting corner outfielder on our roster. Matched only by the 87 guys who we wish could play 2B or 3B well but pretty much can't. I don't feel like any window has been opened yet. And I won't until I see what core is keeping it open.

In the NFL coaches get hired and rehired no matter how incompetent they were at their previous stop. If total stupidity isn't enough to prevent them from getting another job, why should a pulse be any different? :)
-
I'm with you, doesn't seem to be a coincidence at all with the billionaire class.
-
This only reinforces that too many voters take an idiotic approach to the task.
-
I guess I'd prefer the people voting for the HOF just vote for the 10 most deserving players on the ballot (if they choose to elect that many) than bring their own contorted logic with them to the ballot.
-
I never had anything against Sabathia. I thought he was one of MLB's greatest characters - thrilled he got in. Wagner never got the love he deserved. And I know there are people that are mystified that people are mad someone left Ichiro off their ballot. (Barreiro) But the problem is that the voter isn't making their vote with an evaluation of talent but instead bringing their own nonsense to the process. I reject the nonsense, not the percentage - that's why I don't like that he missed being unanimous by one vote. Baseball doesn't know how to kill it's old, tired nonsense.

Wait...when did we actually open that window?

I was thinking about this after nick's link about Tennessee: Has there ever been a year where more of the league's dumbest franchises have all been dumbing their way through the hiring process? Chicago, Jets, Raiders, Dallas, Titans, Jags.....these are some of the NFL's consistently stupidest teams. And they are stupiding extra hard this year.
-
The picking his own GM part is definitely crazy. But man....it feels like Doug Pederson, in coaching circles, is absolutely trashing this guy to get something like this to happen. I can't remember a GM in a sport being so riveled by coaches that multiple dudes turn down jobs solely because of him. He definitely sucks at his job, but this is a level of suck we just don't see often.
-
Baalke gets fired and now Coen is taking the second interview. Man would I love to hear the gossip on why Baalke is hated that much in coaching circles. We know some of it, but I bet the details are juicy.
-
Yeah, I think Murphy gets 15M per year easily. I'm also on board with keeping Ingram as a backup. Vikings don't have enough under contract players to cut any on rookie deals. But I like the investments in the line!
-
I think I'm with you, but they may be able to source some information from the Giants/Steelers/Titans/Saints/Raiders/Browns that they're willing to acquire him at the tag price. Given our dire need for picks, even getting a 3rd for him might be worth the risk if you think the interest is there.
-
They're really going to have to work to figure out if a tag will scare away trade interest. If it doesn't, and you can get something, it's worth it. But it's a dicey gamble.
-
They staunchly kept the same dummy who hired Urban Meyer and then had two coaches turn them down because he was there.....then fired him once that happened. It's a master class in stupidity.

What a clown show in Jax...

Here's my scenario: Rodgers is bad again. Jets lose a bunch. Jets in position to draft a new QB. Hire offensive young coach for their QB so they fire Glenn.
