This hiring would open many cans of worms as far as fantasy impact goes. We all know Andy Ried loves RBs like Westbrook and McCoy, so what does that mean for Ryan Williams? The writing was already on the wall for Wells, but a Ried hiring could have a big impact on Williams' future. I'm not convinced Kolb is assured of anything, regardless what was said by the owner and Kolb's relationship with Ried. If they feel a franchise QB has fallen to them in the draft, I'd be willing to bet the farm they select him. I do believe hiring Ried would be somewhat good news for Fitzgearld owners, minus a QB notwithstanding.
An offensive coach with a reputation for putting up points. They already have a pretty good defense and Reid won't touch the D. Leave that to the coordinator. Seems like a perfect fit to me. Fantasy gold. Welcome back Fitz!
Maybe, maybe not. The division lready has two of the top 3-4 defenses in the league and the Rams are probably going to be up there as well next year. Heavy task ahead for Other Walrus to make that team an offensive pwoerhouse.
How so?
Then he can fire Castillo when things start going poorly.
This is how:
Surely, they'll have Jim Caldwell in for the requisite Dog & Pony show to placate the league.
@JasonLaCanfora: And, as i first reported, Ray Horton met with the Bidwells today, so Cards have complied with the Rooney Rule. Sounds like Reid to AZ, ASAP
WHEW!Good to get that out of the way.
Didn't they interview Horton already?
The Rooney Rule is such a sham in the way that NFL clubs just barely do their part to meet the criteria for hiring. I'm reminded of the SNL skit with Eddie Murphy "White Like Me."In fact, here it is!
Highly doubt Reid would get in bed with Vick again. I assume once the Bills cut Fitzpatrick, Vick will end up in Buffalo.
Pretty big assumption not knowing who the Bills will hire to coach.
Would have said likely if Gailey returned, but if Whisenhunt gets that job, I really don't see it happening.His best chance to start somewhere may likely end up being as a stopgap solution tied to Chip Kelly. Declining physical skills and not being the most cerebral QB really won't make him that attractive. Really hard to believe a staff will think Vick can pick up a new offense in the span of 1 offseason. He may begin 2013 starting somewhere, but I'd be very surprised if he ended it starting.
True. Jumping the gun.Not sure what other options the Bills will have. Not much in the FA market or this years draft in my mind but we'll see. Several teams including the Chiefs, Browns, Jags among others could use a QB upgrade.Also being reported that Schiano will bring in another QB to compete with Freeman
Just funny that Kolb lost his job in Philly...when he was hurt. And Andy said Vick gave them the best chance ...with a porous O-line at the time. (which Arizona has now)Unreal if the Cards bring in Andy and Kolb @ $11 mil in 2013. It's in Kolb's best interest to stay in AZ, but this situation isn't going to turn out well for the Cards or Andy if they bring him back at that $11 mil figure and don't bring in a solid backup QB. (The Cards draft must be OL early and often)Kolb certainly hasn't shown enough when healthy to be deemed as much more than a stopgap solution at QB. And the worst part is, that Andy (drafting him in Philly) could still view him a franchise QB option.
There are a lot of clubs who treat it as a sham, but it cannot be denied that there are a lot more minority head coaches in the NFL than there are in the NCAA, and it seems obvious that the Rooney Rule has something to do with that, even if it's only calling attention to the issue.
I'm sure its all a smokescreen but...Cardinals deny interview with Reid is scheduled
What a joke that "rule" is.The spirit is great, but in actuality does anyone really believe it does anything? In this day and age information is abundant. It's not like the interviewers are going to just stumble upon someone they didn't know all about already. They are either going to hire the guy they really want (like this situation) or they are going to research, and bring in a bunch of candidates, leaving no stone un-turned. This is a pretty high profile position they are hiring for. They aren't just taking people off the streets, which is where this sort of "rule" would be a positive thing.
How would you explain the greater proportion of minority head coaches in the NFL than in the NCAA?
Cant believe they still have this rule
Still have it? I maybe wrong and if I am I apologize in advance but this rule is only like 10 years old right?
2010 says hi.
I don't want to take this thread on too much of a tangent, but I can think of quite a few possible reasons. What are the actual numbers, though? Anyone know?(This would be a great topic for another thread.)
Other teams want to talk with Horton as well (the Bills for one). Defense was just about the only thing the Cardinals did right this year.
ESPN ticker said that Horton has a second interview with AZ.
He should be rejoicing. Kolb will throw 50 times a game. Probably get Fitz 20 targets a game.
This article says that there were a grand total of 4 black college coaches in 1994 (at FBS schools), 4 in 2002, 5 in 2008, and 15 in 2012.The NFL currently has 3 black head coaches, but had 8 of them last season.'Grigs%20Allmoon said:
