    Please no. I can't stand Harbaugh's "poor me the victim" routine after he (regularly) gets busted for violating the rules. That whole "us against everybody" crap just drives me up a wall. Eff you Harbaugh. I know college football is just a big money machine any more, which it mostly always was, but let's drop the pretense that you're molding these young men into solid citizens. That's a joke.

    Yup, I think Harbaugh's going to jump off the sinking ship at U of M and coach in the NFL, and let some other coach take the brunt of the punishment they'll receive for Harbaugh's sins. That would be just like him.

    Is the Panthers' owner going to fire his interim guy now? Maybe throw a drink on him on the way out. There must be some unspoken NFL rule that the NFL must have at least one douchebag owner, and since Snyder's gone, this guy has taken on the mantle.

    Ron Rivera out at Washington. He could be in demand as a DC candidate.

    In a sweeping overhaul of the franchise's football leadership that started with the dismissal of coach Ron Rivera on Monday morning, Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris has hired two prominent executives - ex-Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers and ex-Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman -- to assist his ownership group with searches for a new head of football operations and a head coach, franchise officials told ESPN.

    Wink Martindale OUT as both host of Tic Tac Dough AND Giants' defensive coordinator.

    He could garner interest from both Jeopardy and the Green Bay Packers.

    If the Chargers were still in SD I'd coach them for housing allowance. In LA...yea, garbage.

    Or maybe Belichick stays and Vrabel joins him there. Vrabel had 4 winning seasons followed by 2 losing seasons. NFL is very unforgiving.

    A little surprised Vrabel is gone, but it's tough to survive two losing seasons as a HC in the NFL.
    He'll land somewhere as a DC if he wants to and be back in HC consideration soon enough.

    I think Vrabel wanted out, that was the rumor anyway. If the choice is Jerrod Mayo (unproven) or Mike Vrabel (proven) I'd go MV in a heartbeat.

    I'm a little disheartened this morning. The packers are going to be the last team standing and its possible all the good DC candidates will have jobs before we are done winning the Owl.

    More sarcasm? If in fact we are the "last team standing", it likely will be at the painful cost of retaining Joe Barry. Beyond that, though, on the chance that Barry is gone, yeah, maybe all the oldies like Martindale etc. will be gone, but what we we would be a lot better off with IMO is a young innovative energetic DC. Also IMO, we should have a DC who shakes things up and changes the system. That, however, likely ain't gonna happen because LaFleur apparently likes the system currently in place.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    On Wilde and Tausch (and they detest Barry) they declared Joe Barry as one of the big winners in the past two weeks and noted he's made a ton of adjustments and is AGAIN making his last season surge to keep his job

    It's what y'll wanted )
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    MLF said after the Tampa Bay game that he needed to spend more time with the defense. So there might be some question as to whether the changes are primarily Barry's idea or MLF's.

    Some sarcasm. Some desperate hope. Some light hearted humor. Take from it whatever makes you smile.
