http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ardinals-permission-interview-kliff-kingsbury ^^^I understand their obvious interest since they just signed Kingsbury to be their OC, but it is still rather surprising since it is a college blocking one of their assistants from even being able to interview for a HC job in the NFL. I can't remember too many times when this has happened. Even Saban let Sark leave, under similar circumstances, for the NFL and that was just to become the Falcons OC. Per Schefter: USC has balked at giving permission to the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals to interview Trojans offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, league sources told ESPN. Sources said a perfect storm of the NFL's new enforcement of an old rule has led to the situation where the Jets and Cardinals can't talk to one of their head-coaching candidates.
Seventy-nine freaking pages on this subject? Holy schnikes! I can't read the whole thing, but I'm taking this as an indication of how deeply the Todd Bowles blunderfest cut into the hearts of the fan base. And also how completely freaking immune to that the whole Woody Johnson mgmt crew is. And especially when you consider Bowles still has 2 more years remaining on his contract. Seriously, a WTF? of Brobdingnagian proportion. But I digress.
I disagree. It's not lame at all. Why should they let NFL teams speak with him. They just hired him and obviously want him there. He's not ready for the NFL anyway, and I'm glad that he isn't an option. He was a terrible HC at Texas Tech and has shown nothing to deserve being interviewed as a HC in the NFL.
If it comes down to one or the other, I'd rather they interview Monken over Rhule, but I'd love it if they could talk to both of them before they make their decision.
I think Kingsbury should be an OC first before a head coach. And yes he can still be interviewed but USC is going to want to be compensated for it. And they're probably going to want compensation if he ends up being hired by an NFL team as a DC or OC If we get McCarthy onboard I would love to have him sit down with Kingsbury to discuss a potential OC role
I don’t disagree that he’s not ready, I also don’t disagree that it’s not lame. If he wanted to come to NFL he shouldn’t have accepted the job at USC last month. However I do disagree that he’s shown nothing to deserve an interview. He’s widely seen as one of the most innovative offensive minds in the game and that in and of itself is worthy of interviewing for open positions, even if it’s just to get his brain picked by teams. I do think his resume and the fact that like you said he’s probably not ready to be an NFL HC would’ve ultimately held him back this year though.
Hypothetically if the Jets really really wanted this guy in their organization...what are they supposed to just walk away? Basically USC is saying they want to be bribed. This is how business gets done. Everywhere. I was refused permission to date my wife too If the Jets don't want him bad enough, then who cares walk away
Apparently, its a new rule At last month’s NFL owners meetings in Dallas, league officials informed team executives that they now had to request permission from college athletic directors to interview college coaches. Not doing so would be considered “conduct detrimental” and the NFL then could dock draft picks from teams, sources said. So we have to stop away if we don't want to have even less picks
ITS BEEN DISCUSSED before but my doc says to let things out ----> so tell me what reputable coach is going to take the New York Jet Head Coaching job knowing that Mac might be a year or 2 away from being fired ? I don't think we have a shot at a coach who has done this before unless its a REALLY bad choice or unless its a guy on our B or C list. So long as the coach wins I will not care but my expectations in this search are beyond low.
My ban was never lifted. I demand reparations in the form of public apology, moderatorship and a custom jersey (white) of my choosing. No sweat. If that’s the worst that happens this weekend then I had a good weekend.
Jeremy FowlerVerified account @JFowlerESPN 47m47 minutes ago Todd Monken interviewing for Packers job tonight, per source. Former Bucs OC also meeting with Bengals on Monday, Jets on Tuesday. Assuming we wont have a final decision until Tuesday
I actually deleted your ban. But the glitch in the software kept your ban open. I asked help from big boss Petro. That said, sorry for not picking up your humor. I owe you one. Feel free to go on a political tirade on BS Forum. Lol.
