OT: NFL

Listen to his news conferences, you would never guess it, he can hardly construct complete sentences. I think he is a pothead.

That dude is high as a kite 24-7

Its humorous how much he gets on the nerves of football people because he doesn't look like a strapping alpha male and he's process oriented. The dude's bright (went to Harvard) and clearly knows football if he was hired at 22 by Mike Shanahan. I don't follow the Dolphins enough to say how much of their strugglers are his own fault. That team was designed around Tua and they've struggled mightily.

Just saw that he's a double nepo baby. The old Ivy League bias plus Mike Shanahan was stepdad.

If Arthur Smith leaves (is pushed) for Nashville, maybe the Steelers could hire him. He could wear Daisy Dukes for all I care if he can resuscitate the Steelers offense.

Yet they couldn't figure out why the players didn't gravitate toward him.

I don’t care what he looks like, but there is a certain, I don’t know, quirkiness to him that I’m not sure works as the commander of an NFL team. He’s clearly tremendously knowledgeable and innovative. I agree with your last post. If Arthur Smith has any designs on moving elsewhere, I’d wish him the best and hire McDaniel in a heartbeat. I’m sure Jonnu Smith would be elated.

Where are you seeing that players didn't like him? They have outspokenly supported him publicly all year.

My blind guess would be that McDaniel got canned because he wanted input on hiring the next GM and said he would be involved in the interview process the other day, per ESPN. The owner probably balked at this and felt the GM job would be more attractive if the new hire could pick "his guy" as HC.

He looks like he’s spends a lot of time at Kensington and Allegheny.
