The Weird, Wacky and Awesome World of the NFL - General Banter thread V3

Fairly sure Joe Alt is the highest draft pick (5th in Rd1 last year) to have played in Ireland recently- played in 2023 ND and Navy game at left tackle- has made the Pro Bowl roster this year despite only played like 6 games and now out for season with ankle injury. Blake Fisher played in that game too at right tackle, went 2nd round to Texans last year, been a bit hit and miss but started at left tackle for them against Chargers recently.

Not a Raven's fan, his brother manages the team I follow though and it seems from articles I read a decision by the owner Steve Bisciotti rather than from the front office. Rumours that Lamar and Todd Monken haven't got along and Harbaugh wouldn't get rid of his OC but probably the reality is that the owner felt that they had plateau'd under John Harbaugh and change was needed. Personally think they might go for Jesse Minter or Chris Shula to replace him.

He only 63 and clearly wants to keep coaching, he would be a great hire for the Giants though given the interest from other teams, would he insist of maybe Scheon going and bringing in a GM he has a prior relationship with? I doubt many Giants fan be sad to see Scheon go, looks like he is desisted there

How scheon is still in a job beggers belief.

He was wasn’t a first ballot. He was eligible in 2013 and got in 2015. Like you’d I’ve said he was a first ballot

Mike McDaniel is out in Miami.

Hell of a record he goes out with, 13 playoffs, 8 divisions, 3 championship games, 2 super bowl appearances with one win and never a losing season. In a league that is custom designed to create parity and prevent any kind of dominance, that last stat is incredible. Belongs in the hall of fame first ballot.

Same as the Ravens, they might get lucky now or they might learn what the coaching carousel is like.

I love the way the steelers let their coaches do their thing and give them time to build something. And they don’t fire them, they let them step down.

They'll have to trade for him though.

What happens if the steelers appoint a HC and Tomlin says right I'm back. Would his contract then begin to wind down?

I suspect that such a nuclear option by a coach is probably not explicitly catered for in contracts.

So it would likely go to NFL arbitration, so effectively would be decided by a Roger Goodell proxy/appointee.

You got to feel for him. Built that team out of the gutter and only for some 13 seconds of Mahommes magic they would've won the superbowl.
