I think the Childress firing is on the horizon, but the division title probably netted him another year.

I think the Childress firing is on the horizon, but the division title probably netted him another year.

 

Yeah, there's a chance it happens this offseason, but I'd be very surprised if they can him after the division title and being competitive with the Eagles in the first round.

 

Had they gotten manhandled, it might be different.

I felt though besides the 40yarder by Peterson they kinda did get manhandled well at least in the second half in felt like it

Without the 70-yard screen to Westbrook, though, the Eagle offense was doing very little. Without the 70-yarder, Philly's offense amassed less than 300 yards offensively. Take away Peterson's 40-yard run and the Vikings are in the 280 area of offensive yardage.

 

It was just 16-14 Philly into the fourth quarter, as well.

True, but didn't the Vikes have like 6 straight possessions with punts and only 68yards in the second half? I mean I feel like the Vikings got most of the yards in first half

Philly had drives in the second half of 12, 1, 8, 1, 3 and 6 plays. Minny had drives in the second half of 7, 3, 3, 5, 3, 5 and 6 plays. One of Philly's one-play drives was a fumble (the first) and one was Westbrook's TD. Everything else was a punt, except for the FG on the final drive.

 

Minnesota had all punts until the fumble on the second to last drive that set up Philly's FG. Once again, take away Westbrook's 70-yard screen and they were fairly evenly matched.

[jersey cubs fan]

I don't know what the numbers were, but it felt to me that Philly was never in danger of losing the game. The 2 Philly fans at my house were fairly calm all game as it was just a matter of waiting for Tarvaris to be Tarvaris.

Yeah I guess it was...just seemed more one sided to me cause besides Peterson Minn looked horrible offensively

I've never heard of that before, firing a coach just for interviewing for an NFL coaching job.

 

I figure if they want a coach who will not garner interest from NFL clubs or who will not have an interest in moving to the next level, it's likely that they won't have many good coaches.

 

Part of having a great coach is the fear that he may leave for a better opportunity when one arises.

 

BC probably wouldn't do this if they didn't have their offensive coordinator, Steve Logan, as a safety net for their next coach.

Minnesota doesn't have a very good offense, though, so anytime they get behind it's going to be tough to come back. The Titans face similar issues, but Kerry Collins is a bit more adept at bringing an offense back than is Tarvaris Jackson.

 

That's not something I'd blame on the coach, though, unless he has significant say in the personnel. Childress coached a good game against the Eagles, I think, and the Vikings were competitive. It's just that Philly's a better team than Minnesota.

Yeah, but much like the Raiders' problems, if you screw around with your coaches long enough, you'll start to have trouble finding quality coaches.

 

If BC does this to Jagodzinski, who's to say they won't do it to Logan if they have a good up-and-coming coordinator in the wings? At some point, they may no longer have the good coaches interested in them because the coaches will be afraid they'll be fired for thinking about the NFL.

yeah your right

[Guest]

I agree it's stupid and has the potential to cause a lot of problems; I only brought it up because the only reason Boston College even has the balls to do this is because they have Logan in the wings.

 

You want a good coach, you risk losing him if you aren't willing to pay him (I don't know if Jagodzinski is a good coach or not).

[Flames24Rulz]

Packers fired every defensive coach except LB coach Winston Moss (who the Rams plan on interviewing for their head coach vacancy). If Moss doesn't get the STL job, he'll definitely be a frontrunner for the DC job. Mike Nolan is the other rumored replacement.

 

This is really good because I thought Thompson and McCarthy didn't have it in them to let go of an inept staff, but they did it. Nicely done. Good start to the offseason.

[Mark_R]

Mike Nolan in Green Bay would be very very exciting.

Mangini to the Browns as HC

Mangini to the Browns as HC

 

Yep.

 

Mangini, fired last week by the Jets, agreed to a four-year deal, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com's Michael Smith on Wednesday. A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that Mangini will be introduced Thursday at a news conference at the team's headquarters in Berea.

Bronco fans can now rejoice. I heard on ESPN this morning (USA Today link) that Bill Romanowski has contacted owner Pat Bowlen about replacing Mike Shanahan as head coach.

 

The former Pro Bowl linebacker who spends his post-playing days running a nutrition company and dabbling in broadcasting and acting told the Associated Press on Thursday night that he's serious about wanting a chance at coaching his old team.

He said he sent Broncos owner Pat Bowlen a lengthy PowerPoint presentation touting his credentials and outlining the fresh ideas he would bring to the job that Mike Shanahan held for 14 seasons before his stunning dismissal last week.

I would laugh quite a bit if they hired him.

Good god that would be awesome, though I realize it's probably not too likely.

I wouldn't take anything for granted at this point.
