    More minority owners?
    I don't think that every owner hires the coach that would be best for their team, but instead they hire who they decide is best for them, and therein lies a major part of the problem.

    Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

    Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

      I’d be shocked if it gets to this point.

        @AdamSchefter
        Jim Harbaugh called Michigan to inform the school that, despite interviewing with the Vikings today, he will be returning to school for the 2022 season, sources tell ESPN. Michigan was, in the words of one source, “elated” to get Harbaugh’s decision.

            Surprised. He's seems like he was their primary target.

            Now their finalist are Graham, O'Connell, and Morris.

            "The #Vikings are zeroing in on #Rams OC Kevin O’Connell as their head coach, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The deal can’t be finalized until after the Super Bowl."

              With Flores now seemingly not likely Texans, are the Texans really going to hire McCown as the HC lol.

              Or Eagles John Gannon. He seems like the likely candidate. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they suggested McCown as the OC

                Okay, he can get ejected from the league. But I cannot say that I am surprised that a team/owner intentionally wanted to tank. So no matter how serious it is I haven't heard anyone say they are surprised that there are tanking allegations
                I’m not shocked that a team would want to tank, but I’m surprised to hear it got to the level of the owner paying the coach to lose. Although I suppose nothing should shock me after the blatant tank job the Eagles did vs Washington in week 17 at the end of 2020

                  "The #Giants are expected to hire #Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Deal not done yet but that's the way it's headed."


                  If Bieniemy would have gotten a job over the last 3 offseasons, Kafka would have been the OC. Not sure he's going to call plays there, but if he wants to move up the ladder, this is the best option for him.

                  At the very least Giants are putting a good QB environment around Jones, giving him a chance to succeed

                    Hoping to lose is one thing, even if you intentionally roll out a bad roster. Ordering someone to lose and offering to pay them off-the-books to do so is a completely different animal. For one, it's a federal felony and for the other, it has ripple effects throughout the league. Miami scored a TD in the closing seconds vs. Washington in 2019, then went for 2 with an abjectly terrible playcall. That win pushed Washington to #2 and cost them Joe Burrow. If Flores did that on purpose?

                      This is what I don't get. The coaches contracts are not open. The owner can pay bonuses any time they want legally and unless it is leaked, we would never know. It seems like the owners were just stupid and could have sent over a new contract for the same terms plus $X amount and had no issues.

                        As I understand it, and I don't mean to suggest that I know...the NFL counts as "Sports Entertainment"....

                        At least that's the line used by those that argue the League manipulates games in favor of storylines or whatever.

                          Bucs’ OC Byron Leftwich is expected to pull his name out of consideration for the Jags’ HC opening per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

                                What does Baalke have on Khan to prevent them to hiring qualified coaches?

                                I really wanted to see Leftwich get that job smh.
