Do you honestly believe that? If he really wanted the Browns job, and knowing he was one of three candidates in consideration, wouldn't he have put up his best effort as a final proof of concept to secure the job? Especially when one of the other candidates was your adversary on the defensive side of the ball? I don't like interviewing during the playoffs, but it's the current practice in the NFL and something playoff teams have to deal with.Β

I believe when you've been offered another job your mindset is not 100% on your current job..I also believe Billick mailed it in back in'98 when he was offered the Ravens job

Under league rules at the time, you couldn't interview coaches whose seasons had not ended.

I could have swore he had talks with the Ravens that week..if that being the case they need to go back to those rules..Billick called a bad game that day and they still hired him..Stef called a pathetic game and still got the job

NO.... to Clint Kubiak! Zimmer has to win next year and he knows it. Heβs fired most of his Defensive coaches to shake things up.... I sure as hell donβt see him trusting his offense to a guy heβs known less than a year, has no long-standing Vikings ties, has no pedigree and who has never called a single down!
I get he wants to keep the language the same but this would be ridiculous. Only way I see this happening is if Zimmer doesnβt get extended and nobody good is willing to come here.

Is Reiff worth $13.2M? Is Barr worth nearly $3M MORE than Kendricks? Is KC worth $31M? Are Rhodes and Linval each worth about $12.9M? Is Elflein really worth keeping, even though his salary is relatively low?

Another reason why Spielman must go. Those salaries are ridiculous

I don't like interviewing during the playoffs, but it's the current practice in the NFL and something playoff teams have to deal with. I was agreeing about not being able to speak too potential coaches until the season with their current team has ended........ to include the playoffs. Of course this has been brought up during playoff years before. My guess is the drawback would be coaches in the playoffs would feel like they are at a disadvantage in being late to the party.

I was being sarcastic mom.... all I know is once again were trying to establish an offense again...no stability an the one thng that carried us and I think the window is closing with age is our defense....if kubiak doesn't take over I cant wait to see what we look like again on offense...very well be a 6-10 team

Absolute mirror images.
