Guess espn decided with the seahawks and nothing to talk about they'd start airing old stories, good thing this one was funny

Patriots:

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who has called the plays for the team's record-setting offense, isn't interested in any of the NFL's available head coaching jobs.

"I am very grateful for the chance to interview for NFL head coaching positions, but I have decided not to pursue those opportunities at this time," McDaniels, 31, said in a statement Thursday. "I plan to focus all my attention on our postseason preparation."

Atlanta, Baltimore and Miami are currently searching for new head coaches.

now that shows class..

Well, McDaniels is still only 31. He's not ready to be a head coach yet. 2 or 3 years from now? Definitely. He's going to be an amazing head coach. I'm more worried about Scott Pioli leaving eventually though (even though I don't think it'll ever happen).

Nobody would hire him anyway, assuming teams look at the past. Before Billick was the coach at Baltimore, he was the Offensive Coordinator. He was hired for his offensive expertise based off those years with Cunningham and Moss, but afaik his Baltimore teams never averaged more than 17 points per game.

[Moontayle]

Which is why I don't see Garrett going anywhere, even if he's accepting the interviews. Romo + TO was money, but you could see where they struggled without TO. Sparano is another story, he's put together a solid OL the past couple of years and was Ass. HC under Parcells, AND he had input on the offensive scheme this year. So the man has been around and I see him landing in Miami where he'll know what's what and the people in the war room with him.

Mike Martz and Rex Ryan need to go to the God damn Bengals ASAP. Mike Martz + Carson Palmer + Chad Johnson + T.J Houshmandzadeh + Chris Henry + DeDe Dorsey = $$$$. Rex Ryan could hopefully get the damn defense back on track, fucking Chuck.

Atlanta and Baltimore requested to interview, by league rule permission was granted, but McDaniels turned them down. The fact that interviewed him shows that he was high on their list.

Really excited for this years draft, my friend is entering and has a pretty good shot at being a first day pick. Bengals have a decent pick, all seems right with the world right now.

That's what I said on the last page, but alas we're interviewing the DCs from the god damn Jets and falcons. Yeah, the falcons, who ranked even lower than we did.

Don't forget Irons either.

On the up side we have a shit load of cap room left. So, it really shouldn't be a big deal to gut the D and pick up some big FA guys.

[Genjiro]

Steelers are so fucked next year. Byebye to Faneca, unless something miraculous happens that changes his mind to stay, but he was pissed about not getting paid and said before the season he wanted out. So the line that gave up 40 some sacks or whatever is losing the all pro, though he didnt seem to play particularly good this year either from what I saw.

Hopefully they wont go after awesome O linemen like Jamaine Stephens from NC A&T with a first round pick.

Gibbs resigned today. No surprise there.

Pretty big surprise actually, since last week he said he was going to stay for next year.

[Akileese]

The Falcons want Pete Carroll and will give him full personnel control. Did they even see the car wreck he did in NE without full control? What the fuck are they thinking?

[Lenardo]

carroll has stated - previously (last year ) that he is happy where he is and has no intention to move back to pro's...

that said, it Could be a decent move for him.

personally i think he is Better as a College Head Coach

[Sunder]

Was watching First Take this morning and Greg Anthony hit the nail on the head. He said Atlanta only gets one first round pick each year. USC gets 10. I'd be surprised if Pete went back to the pro's.
