Oh god.

Kill me now. :banghead:

I don't think the True Fan ticket of Fisher & Peyton Manning would surprise anyone

Romeo as HC is far from my favorite scenario. But if a good young candidate can't be found out there, I can live with this scenario, due to the stability it will bing.

Romeo is 64 which means, if successful, he will retire in a few years and hopefully by then some young assistant from our own staff has emerged/developed to be promoted to HC AS LONG AS HIS NAME DOES NOT BEGIN WITH 'J' AND END WITH 'OSH McDANIELS!!!'

someone on Rich's podcast said Fisher is almost a "shoe in" to Dallas....

Which is odd considering they HAVE A HEAD COACH. :facepalm:

I think it will be another year before Jones admits to his mistake. He'll keep the HC for another year at least. Fisher, IMO, will end up in SD.

I didn't make it up! I just heard it and thought, "Better there than here!" and then thought, "hell, I didn't read that on the planet? WTF?"

Wilbon suggested it today on PTI. The guy must have watched the show today and thought a sports pundit's suggestion equals "shoe in."

revolutionary! Sports pundits making guesses? I never would have put that together, thank you so much....


:spock:



Either one could have "stolen" the idea from the other, or each made up their own "hypothesis", or both have similar "inside source speculation". You have DC conspiracy on the brain, washed over by the politic speak of extremists and trying to apply that thought process to the football world.

Here's a hint, even Pioli and Jones do not know who they are going to hire at this present moment, they are game planning and positioning and there is no secret recipe to figuring it out right now. All this "who's going to coach what team" talk is ****ing ludicrous.

I kind of like the Marc Trestman idea.

Not many are sure that Garret will be kept and he did get the dreaded vote of confidence a week or two ago.

This was not your usual "vote of confidence" by an NFL owner who's about to can the HC. I saw it on the tube. Jones was pretty "duh" answering the question about keeping Garret. I think Jones is still too much Jones's personal project to admit he might have goofed. If the Cowboys are the sam next year as well I think Jones will wake up to it.

I nominate Trestman
