  • Maybe it's just me but when I look at him I get an immediate skeevy reaction. He just has the aura of a creepy Pervy weirdo factor going.

  • Actually it doesn't seem like his record is bad enough to warrant the shit can.

    I'm guessing he might just be an ass hole as well.

    I think when the Bradford/Foles & Murray/Mccoy moves went down it was going to be make or break, seems like it was a break

  • What college job openings are out there? Or about to be out there? USC filled, Miami filled...in fact, almost every job filled:

    I don't know if there is anywhere left for him to go to? Unless someone else gets canned at a high profile program.

    A&M may come open this week. In which case probably one of Houston, North Carolina, or Mississippi State will be open.

    The brothers don't seem to like him.

    In their days in LA.....the Rams had a bigger FRAK base than the Steelers and Cowboys. The "Hollywood" crowd were insufferable in their sucking up to them. It was as bad or worse than the Lakers.

    And while I hate teams to move.....St. Louis did steal the Rams from LA, so for them anyway I wouldn't feel as bad about that team move as some others.

    But the Raiders need to stay in Oakland and the Chargers need to stay in san diego in my opinion.

    But, in St. Louis's defense, they were fucked over by a guy as bad as Modell: Bill Bidwill, when he moved the Cards to Arizona.

    All because the league wouldn't do expansion properly....by giving a teams to cities that could have supported them.

    And by not merging with the USFL when an idiot by the name of Donald Trump wanted to fight the NFL in court rather than do the right thing by competing with them on the field.

    A man of extremely poor judgment.

    Not fit to be an NFL owner? Possibly?

    Not fit for some other jobs he may be after?

    Bill Bidwill moved the team from St. Louis because he had to. Fans wouldn't come to the games and revenue was so important in the pre cap era. Bidwill had to pay to play at Bush stadium. They were not fucked over. They fucked themselves.

    I see you swallowed the bait, hook and sinker of the greed NFL owners lines.

    Houston? The former Ohio St. OC Hermann just signed a long term deal with Houston, no? You think you are going to get him to come to A&M? NO. Hell....right now Houston may be the better team.....for this year and for the future.

    The Big 12 needs to take Houston into their fold (plus one more)

    Chip strung along the Browns for quite awhile the last time he was available and went somewhere else in the end. I don't see Haslam forgetting that.

    He was also seemingly Haslam's first big-boy choice as an owner, so maybe he still has eyes for him. Nobody forgets their first love.

    Kelly is not a bad coach at all. The people claiming he is frankly don't know a god-damned thing about football, but they've shown that before.

    Unfortunately, Kelly is a terrible GM and should have zero say in personnel matters. If we could get him as a pure coach, that would be ideal. For everyone who likes to shit on his frenetic style of play, that was actually the strongest part of Philadelphia's offense - they were well above league average in hurry up plays and were nearly twice as effective in hurry up.

    Our personnel would be a decent fit for Kelly, with some exceptions.

    With all of that said, I do like Flip's offense and I'm intrigued by him.

    But Kelly has been more successful than any of our coaches in the new era, so it's hard to turn your cheek to that if he expresses interest.

    Both are good points. I'm okay with firing Farmer and/or Pettine. But I want to keep Flip. Problem is the new coach will want his own guys.. As much as I was against him the last time around, Josh McDaniel and Johnny Manziel could work well too..

    I won't mind if we lose Manziel if we end up with a franchise qb. I only want chip kelly if we team him up with Manziel

    I wouldn't forget it.

    He said he was staying in Oregon then signed with the eagles

    Yes I did. I'm 75 miles from St Louis and lived it. I guess for the 200 people that did show up got screwed I'm sorry.
