This Week in the AFC South-Early offseason Edition
|
This has been a bit of an eventful week in the AFC South
The division champion Tennessee, having been bounced from the playoffs on their own home turf, discovered that Aaron Rodgers said he might be willing to play for them. While NOBODY outside of tack town wants that to happen, the Salary Cap would likely preclude that. At present, if the tacks cut Tannehill, he would be something like a $57 million cap hit factoring in dead money. Also, LT Taylor Lewan stated he would consider retirement if the Tacks were to cut him. In Indy, the Colts lost their defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, who became the new head coach of the Chicago Bears. After a search that involved an interview of former Jaguars' defensive coordinator Joe Cullen, the Colts settled on another former Jaguar-Gus Bradley-to fill that role. Meanwhile in Houston, the search continues for their next head coach after they fired David Culley after one year at the helm. Amonf those who have interviewed for the job is dormer NFL journeyman QB Josh McCown. Notably, he has ZERO NFL or college coaching experience. He was coaching on the high school level. Finally, after an exhaustive (and exhausting) search, the Jacksonville Jaguars named former Eagles Super Bowl winning coach Doug Pederson as the 7th non interim head coach in team history. The press conference will be later today. There has been speculation that former Vikings' GM Rick Spielman will also join the Jaguars in a capacity that would reduce Trent Baalke's influence, but we shall see. Hope springs eternal. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

Of course they bounce out of the playoffs again because Rodgers is a playoffs choker, too.

Both are faced with the possibility that their seemingly solid teams will be wasted because they don't have the right guys under center. We've seen the Colts give up a first and 3rd round pick to try to resolve the issue, only to have it blow up in their faces against us. Meanwhile, the tacks had a similarly catastrophic meltdown at the position-this time in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how desperate they get to fill the position as their windows of opportunity close faster and faster, and how they will ruin their teams as a result. Worst to 1st.

Of course they bounce out of the playoffs again because Rodgers is a playoffs choker, too. The tannehill contact was very foolish, the Wentz trade was mind-blowingly dumb. At least the tannehill deal was only money, but the colts also crippled their ability to find someone to replace Wentz. Rodgers to the colts would make a lot more sense than going to the titans. He just needs to force his way out, he should have done it this year. Just say to management, "either you just straight out release me or I show up to camp and make this a season you'll regret," then when they tried to call his bluff show up with a Jalen Ramsey style back injury for the whole year, or just go into the games and don't try to win, maybe even start bringing a lot of unwanted attention to illegal things they do (pretty sure every team does tons of stuff that they don't want getting out). I don't see why someone like him would be interested in allowing them cripple his next team with an exorbitant trade when he can make the team do what he wants.

As of this morning, it's looking like Josh McCown is out of the running, and it appears lovie Smith will be their next coach. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/texan...ut-of-mix/ While I'm not sure Smith is a long term answer for them, I think he would be a decent hire. He's taken the Bears to a Super Bowl and would give them a sense of continuity on defense. That would leave the AFC South with these head coaches: Doug Pederson Muke Vrabek Frank Reich Lovie Smith If ranked by accomplishments 1. Pederson 2. Smith 3. Vrabel 4. Reich Worst to 1st.

It's really bad when I'm working on draft documents at work, everyone thinks I'm a poor speller. (just don't call me mukey and we're good) We show less advertisements to registered users.
