    Reports to Ted Phillips Ernie Accorsi apparently still involved in interviewing head coaches

    Odd to pick a World Series winner in January anyways.

    Not for nothing but didn't Phil Emery have complete control? Yep. He just wasn't very good at it. I thought that Ted Phillips was the head of Football (and Business) Operations during the Emery regime. I read the tweet to mean that Pace reports directly to George and Phillips is being Crane Kenney'd

    Sean Payton is an EIU alum....I'll trade a 1st for him :) You'd trade the 7th pick in the draft for a coach that just went 6-10 in one of the worst divisions in the history of football? I don't know, I wasn't really thinking it through as I don't think it has any possiblity of happening. Also didn't they go 7-9?

    Honestly I thought that the hiring of Ballard was an almost certainty and the other interviews were just a formality.
  8. UMFan83
    Is that supposed to be meaningful? Exactly. Was he the main scout of the Midwest region or something? He would have had to have been a pro scout if he's responsible for signing Brees away from San Diego.

    Hard to do with GM's. Best I can say is that the Bears didn't just go with the expected. But then, they didn't with Trestman either so.... All we can really go off of is the fact that: a) The Saints really didn't want to lose him b) The Saints fans are pissed that they lost him c) Pace apparently had such a good interview that they diverted from hiring Ballard at the very last minute when it seemed like Ballard was the heavy favorite going into the process.

    Yeah there was an article 2-3 days ago that said he wasn't expected to leave NO

    How's his relationship with Sean Payton?
  13. UMFan83
    Wow. Wasn't expecting that. What do we know about him?
  14. UMFan83
    anything Entourage related < everything else in the world Entourage Sloan is the exception.

    http://i.imgur.com/XgsBHif.jpg I'm definitely more of a Michigan fan, but DePaul is a clear 2nd favorite team...great to see some sort of progress, although only 1 of the 3 teams they beat (Xavier) is any good. Guessing the honeymoon is over quickly though....next 8 games are @ Nova, vs. Georgetown, vs. St. Johns, @ Seton Hall, @ Xavier, @ Providence, vs. Villanova and vs. Seton Hall. 5 against ranked teams, 2 additional road games against good teams, and a home game against almost ranked Georgetown. If they win 2 of those games I'd probably be thrilled.

    Again, his per 36 numbers have actually looked pretty similar to his career numbers outside of PPG and FG%. Even his advanced stats like WS/48 are only very slightly lower than his average season. And given the fact that he starts out slow every single year of his career I am not too worried. We're not going to see MVP caliber Noah mostly because he doesn't need to be orchestrating the offense on this team.

    Depaul is winning again, this time at Creighton. I swear in the couple games I've watched, their opponents make a ton of bad unforced errors when DePaul is winning in the second half. Simply put they look like they are panicking. I am going to call this the "Losing to DePaul" effect, where teams start freaking out that they are actually losing to DePaul, thus play even worse.

    I think his legs have hit a wall. Everything he's shooting is short even floaters. If that's the case then the game shape argument makes sense. The other possibility is that he's hurting. Either way Rose was shooting like 44% from the field and hitting a high percentage of his shots at the rim until like 5 games ago. He didn't just suddenly forget how to shoot, there is something else at play here.
  19. UMFan83
    Is that bad? I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that

    Bill Simmons once tried to make a case that successful coaches go to crap after they hit I think 63 years old. It was a horrible premises, although the numbers he used seemed to sort of back it up. His buddy Bill Belichick is turning 63 next year so I can't wait to see him backtrack on that theory. The argument I've heard against hiring an older coach is that if you bring them in they want to win immediately, meaning more emphasis on veteran FAs, etc. I find that theory stupid too because unless you are trading draft picks for these veterans you can still build through the draft while trying to field a win now team.

    Make that 54. 54 save shutout against the Hawks
  22. UMFan83
    43 shots, 0 goals
  23. UMFan83
    So that accounts for all the games? 80 on CSN 45 on WGN 25 on ABC That leaves 12. Is that the standard allotment held for FOX/ESPN, or will WCIU account for some of those 12 (or are they included in WGN numbers)?
  24. UMFan83
    Shanahan is younger than I thought...since he's been around so long I assumed he was nearing 70. He will be 63 before the start of 2015. That's still too old...even if he's successful 4 years seems about right.

    Sosa stays alive!
