I don't get it. Every year we hear/read about teams waiting for assistant coaches to be eliminated from the playoffs because they are unavailable for interviews until that happens. That is why the Browns hired Mike Pettine - availability for team interviews. I even read that is the NFL rule years ago - no contact with assistant coaches in the playoffs about head coach jobs. When did this change?

Ahhh we made it, what a breath of fresh air.

bump

Feb. 2nd waiver system begins.  We will be 3rd on the waiver wire.  Anyone come to mind who could be let go that we might get?

When does the NFL competition committee meet next month?

February 32nd.

You would have been better off with February 29th.

No, he would have been better off telling the truth. Obviously I would not ask if I did not want to know the exact dates, so nobody has any reason to tell me a date that does not exist unless he wants to be called a liar.

2014 they decided to not meet anymore. They do it all through their phones using text now. I didn't really think it was a good idea but I guess that's just what it's going to these days

Everyone who makes up a date that does not exist is a liar. There is no February 29 this year.

Now you are lying. They do have meetings and you know it.

Here are some dates, just a reminder for people

Tomorrow is the first day for teams to designate a franchise or transition player.

Do you think the Jaguars will do it?

 

I read JPP, Demariyus Thomas, Devin McCourty, Justin Houston, Ndamukong Suh, and Dez Bryant are all candidates for the franchise tag.

Next month.

Quote:Next month.

Why? Which one of our FA's is worthy of a tag?

Quote:Got a reading comprehension problem?

Yes! I don't understand why people call me out on it when they know I have a reading comprehension problem!
