I actually like him too. He knows how to coach defense.

I'd replace Haslett with him, in a nanosecond.

I like Ryan too actually. Thought he did a good job his first two years and I think a lot of the problems with that team had a lot to do with poor personnel decisions. Ryan has made his share of mistakes too, but I think the problems with that organization go way beyond him. Getting rid of Mike Tannenbaum was a good step in fixing those problems.

RR is a very good DC. As head coach, though, he's mediocre. As far as I'm concerned he is a living example of the Peter Principle.

Rex Ryan is a good coach, he just instills no discipline on his team. He's allowed it to become a circus much like Wade Phillips did in Dallas.


Speaking of Dallas....

Jerry Jones Doesn't Care About the Dallas Cowboys - Yahoo! Sports


I love it when Jerry gets torched by the press.

Rex Ryan is ok. I personally think he lacks some leadership skills but he did take the Jets to two straight AFC championship games. However if they miss the playoffs again, its on him and he deserves to be fired. Even if they fired him this past year I would not have had a problem with it but he deserves it if he cannot reach the playoffs next year.

RR is not an innovator either offensively or defensively. When it comes to X's and O's, please tell me where his creativity lies, 'cause I don't see it.

I grant you that, for a short time, he can get the maximum effort and talent from his players. As such, he will always have some initial success whether as a coach or DC b/c he knows how to motivate players in the short term. He will never be, IMHO, a coach who achieves long term success in any one place because, ultimately, his style is to let the inmates run the asylum while he poses as the head inmate. Ultimately, this degenerates into the clown car "crisis of leadership" confessions we have seen in Jets' land these last two years ("I didn't guage the lockerroom well", "I have ignored the offense"). In my book, he is all style and little substance. And, quite frankly, I don't particularly like his style - but that's just a personal opinion.

At this point, given the public persona he has cultivated, I would have a hard time viewing him as anything other than a clown. If my team needs a shot in the arm, I might give him a couple years as DC - but I just think he, like his brother, is more trouble than he's worth.

Good way to put it. Style over substance and great at motivating players in the short term instead of having the ability to sustain long term success.

Nnamdi Asomugha didn't eat with rest of Philadelphia Eagles -- report - ESPN


Looks like the Eagles are preparing the smear campaign in preparation of cutting Nnamdi. This shit is weak sauce to say the least.

He also cut his toe nails with the stall door closed instead of in front of his locker where everyone could see.

I heard Davis is ready to start running again...he's a ways from being ready for football related activities.

Yeah I mean look at the players he had on offense.. tell me who could win with that unit.

Fat Man got his guy. I think this is a great move by KC.

I like it for the Chiefs too. They now have a legit starting QB and I'd bet Reid will take a project QB to develop in the mid rounds while Smith holds things down for a couple of seasons.
