I’m not betting against him getting another chance.

There’s a lot of things you’ll get endlessly forgiven for (Josh Gordon and substance abuse, for example) Seems like storming off the field shirtless in the middle of the game while hurting your teams playoff chances is a line you can’t cross.

Actually, fuck it, you’re probably right.

I mean one man’s trash is another man’s….

NFL is highly immoral 

Teams that play the Bucs might hate them so much that they’d love to have AB help them beat the Bucs

He can still play at a very good level

These things keep me thinking he’ll get another shot

Thinks he’s playing with Baltimore next season, as if any team is giving him any more chances. 

Baltimore might. They keep thinking their magic elixir is an elite WR when, in fact, no receiver will fix things if you have an elite RB/shit sack QB "shot putting" them the ball.

Keep seeing these "AFC is brutal in the next 10 years with Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow and Lamar" posts. Which one of these 5 isn't like the other? Yeah, drop Mush Mouth as he's a RB who occasionally throws.

Can't wait for the AB reality tour...

Must admit it's a bold strategy to simultaneously lobby to get another NFL job AND threaten to sue your old team for suggesting that you need mental health help after a multi-year period where you have been on four different teams and the primary reason you haven't been sticking with any of them over that time involves your history of erratic behavior...which doesn't even take into consideration any of the off-the-field actions that have fit more into the civil/criminal case umbrella than the on-field stuff.

No but they lost state championship game because they scored too quickly late in the 4th…he’ll bring that to the table if it set up that way….and last week maybe had that covered anyways lol

Denver to hire GB OC. Sounds like Leftwich is headed to Jax.

Colts Eberflus to the Bears

Also cracking me up that guys like Screamin A. Smith, etc are still beating the "racists not hiring Eric Bienemy over X candidate" narrative. 

Bienemy's had 3 (maybe more) seasons to land a head coaching gig. There's obviously something these teams are picking up in interviews (maybe they don't see him as a leader of men?) but Byron Leftwich will likely be the Jags HC in his first year of interviewing for those gigs.

Yeah, it's race Screamin A.

This might be my least favorite storyline every year. I don’t think fans can relate or care that much.  Vikings, Bears, and Jaguars fans would have all traded their head coaches for Bienemy regardless of what flaws he may have. They don’t poll the fanbase or give us any input so why force the racism card down our throats every year.

Yep, I don't care if the Browns head coach was Bozo the Clown if he produces wins.

LOL. I'll delete my quote of it.

Jets interviewed Bienemy and then hired the first Muslim HC in NFL history. Maybe he doesn't interview well? Maybe he's an asshole?

That is my take. Either he's an asshole, isn't perceived as a strong leader/poor interview, teams think it's Andy Reid's offense and he's riding on Reid's coattails or that he has a cheat code in Mahomes?

Dude has had too many interview opportunities and whiffed.

Mike Zimmer had a ton of interviews before he got the Minnesota job. Rumor was he was kinda an asshole in the interviews by cursing and telling owners how it was. I think when the Browns interviewed them he straight up told them with their roster they were a 3 year rebuild atleast and they wanted someone to promise them an immediate turnaround

I remember this. I know COA was a big fan of bringing in Zimmer.

I thought he would have been a great hire at the time to. I followed him closely being a Cincinnati fan. The players in Cincinnati loved him as DC. 

It’s funny to because of all owners I know Jerry Jones is a big fan of his.
