OT: NFL

[Fightingscot82]

Former Edinboro All-American punter Reed Martin has signed with the Toronto Argonauts.

Brian Angelichio looks to be the guy at OC. He’s spent the last 4 years as the Vikings pass game coordinator/TE coach. He was with McCarthy for a few years in Green Bay. He’s not young, which will surely rile some folks.

[Chuck Norris]

Former message board lightning rod Chase Haslett will be remaining with the Saints rather than taking a job on McCarthy’s staff as will the rumored top OC candidate Scott Tolzien.

[Chuck Norris]

Jahri Evans is among the names reportedly being interviewed to fill out the Steelers offensive coaching staff. He’d be an assistant to the new OL coach (not surprisingly)

When the head coach is going to call plays, you obviously aren’t going to get a Mike McDaniel type to come in as OC under that arrangement, but you can still fill a staff with bright young minds with fresh perspectives who can also learn from an HC who has been there and done it. If that’s largely where McCarthy is heading, it’ll be a refreshing change from the status quo and at least a reason for some optimism.

shepherd fans talking about what is and isn't cheating? Classic

how dare you!

Big hand in winning 8 super bowls. If any coach is a first ballot HOF it's belichick. I hate him too, but enough already. The jets don't deserve better, they are a trash franchise and always have been.

There is only 1 HC that I can think of that is in the HOF that did it without a top notch QB (Gibbs). They go hand in hand. I'll give you the spygate scandal, but the deflated balls thing is not a scandal.

And the world goes nuts...So much for accountability. Food for thought: He won 1 playoff game in his career without Tom Brady. He turned his back on the Jets, and while I'm no fan of their's, they deserved better from him. He also has the scars of 2 separate scandals under his watch. Those things don't scream 1st Ballot Hall of Famer to me. Normalizing cheating isn't good for anyone...

Ray Lewis, noted obstructor of justice, got in on his first try. I guess lying to the police is a better example of accountability than videotaping or equipment manipulation.

Just ask the Steroid Era MLB players.

Those guys may get in someday ... when they are taking dirt naps.

Bill Belichick does not make it into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

I'm sure he doesn't 'want' to bring Rodgers back.

However, he has to role with somebody.

Pickings are slim for Fall 2026.

Oh I agree. Frankly I’d be ready to go with Rodgers in 26 if he hadn’t looked so dreadfully bad against Cleveland and Houston. They have to significantly upgrade the WR room. No excuses. They need to sign at least one quality veteran and use a fairly high draft pick on one.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

He’s done that the majority of his time as a head coach so I’m not surprised or all that concerned. I’m more interested in who he’s going to hand over the defense to. The names floating out there right now aren’t exactly going to knock people’s socks off.

People are attaching words like safe and stale to this hire because of his age and experience but it’s really a pretty radical departure from anything they’ve done in our lifetime. Obviously bringing back Rodgers for another year would be eye roll inducing, but from an overall organizational standpoint it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. They better eventually get the QB situation right.

McCarthy says he's going to do offensive play calling. That should attract some good OC interest...LOL
