It would have been interesting to see what happens to Saban if Miami landed Drew Brees. Also, it would have been interesting if Rich Rod wouldn't have turned down Bama. Spurrier was never going to be successful in the NFL. Quote Link to comment

Jim Harbaugh is a good example the other way. From office/GM is just as important as coach and I am just as nervous/excited to see how that is handled. You can't be successful if you are tied down by poor roster management or bad contracts. It takes all these pieces to maintain success in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think he'll be fine - he's good at surrounding himself with other good coaches, and that's critical in the NFL. I'd just be worried about him flaming out again - they're set up with a lot of talent for a team picking 1st overall. Two first rounds picks and two seconds, and they're good second rounders too - all top-45 picks. A lot of interesting (if inconsistent) receivers. Add Lawrence and some other young talent, and they should have a pretty significant jump next year. Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I could see a jump, but I am not expecting anything over .500. Then we get into maintaining talent by having young talent on rookie contracts, negotiating salary of veteran players and making sure their value versus their cost is worthy of retention or marginal utility is replaceable, and attracting the right type of players to fit your system. Most of this is done by someone who isn't on the coaching staff and has to coordinate all these ideas with what a coach wants/schemes for. Urban could be the greatest coach, with the best staff and the Jags could still stiff him with terrible management. Just look at Coughlin and the dismantling of the 2017 defense. Jacksonville is good at messing things up. I am hoping this is a step in the right direction, but Meyer hasn't exactly lasted too long anywhere he has went. Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I don't think Bienemy is all that qualified to be a head coach. All the backlash is weird, imo. Quote Link to comment

As a Broncos fan, I would put extra emphasis on the "SOB" part. But yeah, he was a pretty good QB and put together a respectable career. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
