He was on NBC in the early 90s...and I don't think he was all that good then

Re: Theismann and Gibbs to Join NBC for Playoffs

Tough crowd. The only question I have is how NBC will manage to fit all these guys on one set? Is anyone else nostalgic for the days when two guys (eg JB and Terry) were considered enough for a broadcast? These days on NBC it's like they are trying to field an office softball team of on-air personalities.

Oh wow, I see that now. Yeah, that has the potential to be not so great.

So they're gonna be in the box calling a game? Hmmm I'm gonna wait and see because of their Skins' background and I really like them....but this could be ugly

Can't wait to hear that game. I'm that will be a treat for all of us old school Redskin fans. Listening to those two for 3 hours will be fun.

SmootSmack:

Last I heard, the discussions/contacts had been "adjourned" until after the Holidays. Nothing since then...

OK, yeah I hadn't heard anything either lately

Have you heard anything recently about a certain college coach and a certain offensive coordinator west of the mississippi (more so the former than the latter?)

Re: Theismann and Gibbs to Join NBC for Playoffs

If the college coach west of the Mississippi is a former NFL coach who has won won national championships, I have heard stories but nothing that I can corroborate. Frankly, I cannot see why he would ever leave his college job.

Nothing about a college offensive coordinator...

Nothing about any other college coaches...

That would be the one...at some point I'd think he'd want to try the NFL again. How much more is left for him to accomplish?

Sorry, I meant an NFL OC...again this one I only heard in passing with not much substance. The above situation though...

Me neither

My guess is Pete Carroll (if not him, maybe Dennis Erickson); don't know why they're always speaking vaguely though, unless it's a teehee we hear things you don't thing haha

There aren't that many former NFL coaches who have won national championships as college coaches west of the mississippi.

It's not that hard to type a name either.

I don't really follow college so I wouldn't know.
