Discrim Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Are we sure Jeff Saturday's never coached before? Sheesh, if the Raiders lose this one, Josh McDaniels may as well fake his own death and go to his own funeral as a guy named Phil Shifley before disappearing into whatever abyss claimed Rich Kotite. 2 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys and Packers playing each other this week so no chance in hell any other matchup gets the nod. Despite how much better the other teams are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was head coach at a prep school in Georgia called Hebron Christian Academy. Who knows? Maybe that's all it takes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I have no idea who this #34 on my Cowboys is, but he sure can run the ball, so kudos to him. I'm prepared for a post-game hissy fit from Rodgers, especially after his reciever stopped running on a would-be touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly this is a good point. There’s definitely some MLB coaches/managers who start coaching at the highest level immediately after playing retirement. There is also the instance of a coach never actually playing the sport they get hired for. For example, Dave Trembley never played baseball yet found his way into the manager position of the Orioles and was, well, bad at his job. Should Saturday have rose through the ranks? Yeah that’s a no brainer, but it’s not like this sort of thing never happens in sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things were getting stale up there anyways and Mike Zimmer was starting to wear thin on people. You obviously don’t follow the Vikings very closely. “Starting to wear thin” doesn’t come close to covering it. 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many times has highly touted NFL assistant gotten a job and completely crapped the bed? (every single Belichick disciple) I'm rooting for Saturday to win some games. More than likely, he'll go back to ESPN after the season ends. But it's a nice little experiment to see if coaching experience = real football knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Nash also got a coaching gig on name alone. I also omitted David Ross getting the Cubs gig after a few years doing Sunday Night Baseball and Dancing with the Stars.

There’s also the off chance the Colts just paddle through the remaining schedule with a .500 record or better. Then what do the Colts do? Roll the dice even further and hire Saturday full time?

Cujo Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Aaaaaaand Jeff Saturday, from off his living room couch, just beat Josh McDaniels, one of the "greatest assistant coaches of all-time". Folks can stop crying about Irsay's decision now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The 13th of November will be remembered as the day Josh Mcdaniels NFL career was put to the grave. Seriously a coach with no experience beats you, that would be the sign to finally hang up the clipboard and sink under the nearest rock.
