Island_Style Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Leave it to a Jags fan to start it. This is our most exciting time of the year. Anyways, I will be the first to spawn great news in this thread. Jags GM Gene Smith will be fired! 49ers Tom Gamble and Cards Jason Licht are favored to replace him. If Licht comes, I predict Reid or O'Brien will follow as coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Rex Ryan isn't getting fired, but looks like they will have changes at GM, OC, and DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Eventhough is seems as if he may have been spared by Woody, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets new GM's first move is have Rex clean out his office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 If the owner wants to keep Rex on next year there's no way he hires a GM that won't give Rex a fair shot next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This could be the year of the college coach in the NFL. I'm already hearing strong rumors of Chip Kelly, Bill O'Brien, Brian Kelly & Kirk Ferentz all jumping ship to The Shield. And really, why wouldn't they?

Kramerica Industries Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The success of Jim Harbaugh is the exception, not the rule, with college coaches moving to the NFL.There's a reason most of these moves have not worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannenbaum and Ryan are joined at the hip. If one goes they both do. If they change the GM Ryan has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 There are many questionable things I find about Schiano. I'm not sure he's going to get respect forever. Though, compared to Raheem Morris, the upgrade is undeniable.Good catch with Pete Carroll, however. Totally forgot about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 To be fair, Pete Carroll has been an NFL coach before... *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nick Saban ain't going nowhere. He'd stand to gain more by staying in Tuscaloosa, where his power and sphere of influence is limitless.Plus...it's (the University of) Alabama. They live, breathe, sleep, eat &have $#!t football. They're once again perennial title contenders. And they're almost guaranteed to get the top recruits year in and year out. Why would he want to leave that? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're once again perennial title contenders. And they're almost guaranteed to get the top recruits year in and year out. Why would he want to leave that?I heard that before. Right before Spurrier left for Washington. I think there are two reasons why Saban could be game.1. Money talks2. Saban has a super ego. You don't think he wants to be king of the big boys? I do. I think he is drooling for another shot. Especially after hearing him talk about his experience in Miami. Personally I think he will try again very soon. Probably not with the Jags, though.

Why would he want to leave that?Nick Saban (like many current SEC coaches) is an insane, manipulative, control freak. There is no chance he ever goes pro again because he wouldn't be able to throw around the kind of weight he has in Alabama. The guy gets off on playing puppet master over young adults, and acting like an asshat while he does it. Saban would never be able to pull that kind of stuff off in the NFL. Therefore, he'll be in the SEC as long as they'll have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Saban leaving the SEC would be a dream come true for every non-Alabama fan in the SEC, and possibly in college football altogether.It's not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island_Style Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 One thing he has never shown in his coaching career....loyalty. He bounced around a lot for a successful coach. I think he gets bored. I think he welcomes challenges.Like I said, no one will convince me that the Bama job is glue for him. Everything being said about him here was said about Spurrier right before he bolted. Hell, he was a UF grad. What can I say? To quote Halfbaked, " I SEEEEEEN IT!"
