You said Best Friends, I'm just getting technical with you :D

And they've known eachother since 93ish, I doubt they've been "best friends" for 20+ years. Its just part of the business. Being a long time Iowa homer, you'd think I'd know about Pioli and Ferentz being best buddies, going to strip clubs and drinking beer together.

Slightly joking, mostly being technical.

I do want Ferentz, he's a ****ing amazing coach. Runs an offense similar to what we run here, great coach, great motivator, great results driven kind of guy, and has a knack for putting decent teams together with little to no recruitment due to the awesome nature of Michigan, Ohio State, and now Nebraska being in the conference.

That is probably the most overlooked detail of all. He puts somewhat competitive teams together with nothing in the recruitment department, almost all of his recruits are fairly local, and towards the end of the Stanzi years, half of the guys on offense played QB at the High School level. The guy can work some serious magic in terms of bringing in talent and developing talent. And if this team is to be a run first offense, who better than Kirk Ferentz to run it?

Yeah, totally. I mean he didn't win bowl games with stanzi in '08, '09, and '10 or anything. All the while doing it with next to nothing for recruitment by comparison to Ohio State and Michigan.:rolleyes:

Discern the difference between sarcastic technicalities, and seriousness. It'll go a long way.

Um, bullshit.

"Um, Bullshit", isn't exactly a fitting response here.

I like to argue technicalities like I'm collecting pokemon bro, anytime I hear some asshat say Pioli and Ferentz are "best friends", I love to shoot that bullshit down. Just because they worked together and kept touch on a professional level, does not make them best friends.

And trust me, the media loves to spin it that way at times, because the media wants to be the "first" to claim something on the reporting side of speculation, a la Glazer, Teicher, Mortensen, and Schefter lol.

Its only natural for a news outlet to say that they are BFF's because Pioli is KC's GM for the next few weeks, and Ferentz worked with him in Cleveland, and happens to be the hottest commodity in college-> NFL HC recruitment for the last decade. Its only natural that people throw shit against a wall hoping for it to stick.

Ferentz would NEVER, and you can quote me on this, NEVER take a Head Coaching position with Scott Pioli as the GM. Print it.

I don't care about your opinion of Ferentz, I was pointing out the irony of you calling out somebody for grammar and then throwing up a post that lacked some. The bullshit was a response to your excuse for it. I don't really care to argue about this anymore considering how stupid it is. You have been agreeing with the potential of drafting Teo and getting Lovie Smith. I couldn't disagree more with either of them. I have no desire to talk about it anymore.

I agreed with the potential for getting Lovie Smith............really?

your comprehension is questionable. Nowhere have I written, "I would love to have Lovie Smith here as my Head Coach".

Going out there and saying that I like him out of all of the coaches fired recently, and that I think he's is a decent coach, is not me saying "**** YEAH SIGN HIM RIGHT NOW".

And me saying I am not opposed to drafting Te'o has nothing to do with anything.

We don't have to draft Geno Smith, or Barkley with the first pick in the draft. Nor have I even remotely suggested the fact that I WANT us to draft Te'o.

You are a ****ing moron if you believe I've said any of that. Take a course in reading comprehension. My god, you're a little late for the "C'mon man" segment.

Speaking of reading comprehension, how does "you have been agreeing with the potential"= "love".

You have stated you would be OK drafting Teo and as your quote above states you like Lovie. Never said you loved either. Let me be clear though, both those statements I completely disagree with.

And yet, not a single ****ing quote that says "I want lovie smith as my head coach" or, "I want to draft Te'o first".

It clearly states in that quote that you used, that OF THE COACHES RECENTLY FIRED, Lovie would be my pick.

Do you understand how the caps in that statement clearly points out the qualifier for the quoted statement? Basic comprehension suggests that if I were to draw you a ****ing picture with crayons, that of the coaches recently fired, 7 of them IIRC, Lovie would be my choice. Nowhere in that statement does it say that, as a whole in this HC search, that Lovie Smith is my choice for HC.

As far as Te'o, I clearly stated numerous times that if there isn't a QB who can separate himself from the pack, that I"d rather not use our #1 pick on a QB talent we could acquire in the 2nd round, and use that #1 pick on a guy like Te'O IF, again IF is the qualifier here, IF Te'o blows the combine up. And again as stated, if he doesn't, I revert back to the QB selection.

Comprehension, you ****ing murder it.

He's Mormon? Ew.

And again, as many have stated, under any qualifier Teo over a QB is stupid. The fact that you are cool taking a guy like Glennon over Geno or Wilson is also silly. Hell, Glennon probably won't be there in the second. Also, again, wanting Lovie over Reid is a joke. Even in the vacuums you have created you are wrong. The fact that you don't see the NFL as being that different now compared to the Johnson/Dilfer days is enough to blow my mind.

My fault though. Everyone else was smart enough to ignore you or give up after a few posts.

LOL, I don't think the NFL has changed? Pretty sure I stated it has.

I said I was cool with Glennon over Geno or Wilson? Quote it, who the **** is Glennon anyways? And if he's not in the 2nd, Geno or Wilson will be, bet on it.

I would take Lovie over Reid in a new york minute. I don't like Andy Reid, I don't believe he has total player control and I don't believe he has that great of a connection with his players. I don't want that in a coach, I'd rather have a more emotional type like Vermeil in all honesty.

You have a serious problem with reading comprehension and at every angle I point it out, you decide to make up something new that I've apparently said, even though I haven't. You are failing at the interwebs bro. Give up.

First of all, the bold. Glennon maybe, no way Geno or Wilson are. As for the first question, you said you were cool with Glennon over them when you said you were OK taking a QB in the 2nd round.

Lets not forget that you said you like Ferentz, just not connected with Pioli. Lets add that to the list. As for the NFL not changing, you said to me in a previous post that it hasn't changed that much. We both know you did.

Here they are.

Yeah, I have a major problem with your points here and it IS saying that you don't get how much it has changed.

Now yes, you did correctly point out that to have a team get into the playoffs consistently you need at top 10 QB. However, these top two quotes were in response to my point that only elite QBs make the SB now. So again, you don't seem to understand fully that the NFL now has changed a LOT since those days.

Soooo anyone catch the twitter beef between LaCanfora and Pro Football Talk?

No, but we caught the BlackBob mult spreading diarrhea all over the wall like ****ing peanut butter

Yes. Well I didn't, but people were talking about it in a thread and posted some of it. Not sure which thread.
