Aside from the current coaching search, there’s been a lot of talk about overhauling the entire roster and rebuilding, whatever that means. First and foremost, rebuilds guarantee nothing. In theory, you suffer through a few 2-14 and 3-13 seasons and then eventually become 9-7, and then finally you go 13-3 and make a deep run in the playoffs. In theory. But what about if you’re Cleveland, or Detroit, or Arizona? What if you go 3-13 for a few seasons as you rebuild, but then you go 4-12 and 2-14 the next few? What if this continues for decades like the hapless Browns and Bills? RosterRead More →

Who do you guys want? So a lot of names are flying around out there, including Darren Rizzi. From the heart, he’s not a bad pick.   As long as he proves to management and to the players that he knows his stuff.  He does seem a lot smarter than a guy who just works with punters and kickers.  The rah-rah attitude can be tiresome, but I will not fault him for getting in players’ faces.   Miami needs a disciplinarian head coach, and not another buddy ol’ pal like Gase. The Bears’ DC is getting a lot of attention, but I’m not feeling it.  He’s beenRead More →
