I just read on si.com that Kowher is out for the Jets job too.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

ESPN is reporting it now too....and I also read the Browns are talking to Mangini about their coaching position...didn't expect to see him as a head coach again so soon as he's underachieved with the Jets

Don't you just love how pro coaches can be fired from one team after being branded a "loser" and immediately hired by another and called a "savior"........ :o :roll:

Agreed. However, if you look at the history of the Jets, they have consistently under performed after Thanksgiving.

However, wasn't Belichick (sp???) not a head coach for about 5 or 6 years before he got his gig with the Pats?

Well, some coaches could be a fit for one team but may be for another.

He was the head coach of the Browns, but I don't remember how many years he was there. After Cleveland fired him, he came to the Jets when Parcells was the head coach. When Parcells left, the Jets named Belichek the new head coach, scheduled a press conference to make the announcement and just before the conference started Belichek gave them a handwritten note that said "I resign as HC of the NYJ." Classy guy.

Heard 3 interesting things when Chris Mortenson was on ESPN radio this morning...

1. Mike Shanahan and Jerry Jones are friends. They even set up controlled scrimmages between the Broncos and the Cowboys as part of both teams training camp workouts.

2. The Broncos offered Tony Romo more money than the Cowboys. Shanahan thinks very highly of Romo and wanted to sign him as an undrafted free agent. Romo chose the Cowboys after considering the depth chart at QB. Better chance to play in Dallas. Shanahan and Romo both played QB at Eastern Illinois University.

3. Shanahan replaced Wade Phillips as head coach of the Broncos after the 1994 season.

It may be possible there is a "For Sale" sign on the Phillip's home in Dallas.
Dumb and drunk as I was, you know I would do it all again.

Well, if you had a choice between Phillips or Shanahan, who would you go with?

Yep. Me too. I'll miss him, but love what he gave this city, this state.

Been through a few coaches since I became a fan in 1976, and we'll go on. :)

Just picked up a pair of tickets for the Panthers home playoff game. My Buffett tricks worked for the NFL as well. Called out of state to another ticketmaster office to get through :wink:

Go Panthers and Go Phins!
