You know you're a good color man when, after the penalty call, you're telling the audience "when I was at the line of scrimmage I was thinking "that's an illegal formation"
it was never cute. but yes, somebody actually thought it was an english communication once. the grandest wordsmith of all time at that. I still think "cow-towing" was the best (but not a Bummism)
Doing it for money is one thing. Doing it for a friend, when your friend's life/job/etc aren't on the line, just so his reputation exceeds yours? Different level. And we're talking about a bad coach going against another coach who had designed his offense. It makes a sort of sense he'd panic and do that
Who knows. Maybe they feel the Rooney rule has depleted high level minority assistants and are going to try and push it down to lower level positions to close that gap too. That's what they said during the CBS pregame show Sunday. Make it cover offensive and defensive coordinators.
