...away from the excitement of the playoffs, there are stories and rumours circulating around our 2 fiercest division rivals that may change things dramatically for us (good and bad?). Maybe you're read or heard these things: The Giants, after kicking Coughlin to the curb, are looking to spirit away Scott Pioli from the Patriots (and maybe get Belichick to follow). ....this could explain Belichick's exasperation with Mangini leaving...while it's been speculated that Eric was BB's heir apparent, maybe BB's timetable for leaving was a lot shorter than anybody suspected. Just this morning, Nick Saban, opened up the speculation storm again on his leaving for the Bama job. If he leaves, who is filling his spot? Could BB be heading south? Then there is the Charlie Weis question? If he does leave ND, will he return to revive the NYG? If Belichick leaves, gotta belive Kraft will reach out for Weis as well. Speculation, to be sure, but there are a couple of facts to remember: 1) The Giants and Dolphins HC jobs are among the most sought after in the NFL 2) Money talks, and loyalty walks...BB has shown his stripes before
H'mmm did not Weis just sign a 10 year contract with ND? I do not accept the Belly rumor either as why would he want to work for split owners when he works just for Kraft?
I don't think Weis will leave, but although I think BB is staying, I wouldn't be surprised if he left the Pats.
Belichick is under contract. Weis is both happy and far too expensive to pry away from ND. Saban is leaving. Anything else?
H'mm did not hear that but anything is possible but is sounds like bad business practices on ND side if that is correct
How many "dream jobs" does Weiss have? When ND hired him all we heard was how it was his dream to come to ND and coach and now it's the Giants? I don't see what's so desirable about these 2 jobs either. In the Giants you've got an aging, underachieving roster and with the hiring of a new coach expectations would skyrocket back up to unreasonable levels. As for the Fins job it's more of the same, they've got big money tied up in Culpepper who may or may not come back from injury and may or may not be horrible as well as an aging defense that has likely missed its window. Not to mention that there are probably a number of college jobs that are higher profile then being coach of the Dolphins.
I don't see BB leaving the Pats for the Giants. Part of NE's success is that Brady doesn't make a lot of mistakes so he keeps them in their games. With Eli, you just can't say the same thing. You can actually say the opposite as he makes a ton of mistakes. He has a great situation. I can't see him leaving for another job. I can see him retiring, but not going to another team.
His original contract had a relatively small buyout clause. When he was renegotiated last year, it was specifically to keep Weis in South Bend over the long term. The buyout was increased substantially (Serby says $15 million, but I think that's just Serby being the silly person that he is). From what I've heard, I think that ND would probably be willing to even renegotiate the contract again to keep Weis in South Bend. Giants can't win a bidding war against ND.
Not High Profile. High Perks. Millions of Dollars. Miami. Sun,Surf,Suds, Celebrity. Spring Break Forever, only in a Ferrari.
I'd love to see Pioli go to the Giants as he's been a huge part of NE's success. I think the Giants will make a run at Weis but his contract is too restrictive. I've read the buyout could be 10 million dollars.
Totally agree. It's questionable as to how "desirable" either of these two positions are right now. I honestly think the Giants have screwed themselves for many years to come with Eli Manning. They hired him for the name and he's definitely not his brother. Miami needs a total makeover and the job of sorting through the number of prima-donnas on the Giants' roster is mind-boggling.
That was enough. Only 20 more years of futility for the Dolphins and I'll be satisfied that life balances out eventually.
Well actually I think contraction is a better solution for me. Or if not contraction then maybe moving them to Siberia would also satisfy me.
I absolutely love the fact that Zach Thomas complained the other day about the number of Jets fans that always show up at Jets-Dolphins games. How'd you like to be HC and look forward to that every year? Not exactly a warm feeling... Hahahahahahaaaa...
Interesting. But why would the Dolphions HC job be so sought after? They have one of the worst offenses,an Aging defense that will need to be rebuilt. IMO,they are heading to the bottom for a little while.
