Just getting the two Rooney Rules out of the way, since Deion's wasn't a real interview.
Not only that, but as I said before the interest in Deion is real.

So if you see them bring him in for an interview, I'd expect him to stick around the next day as well because they're going to want to try and hammer that thing out.

Yeah but it also means we probably won't even bring in the real candidate until after that. Notice how we are getting the Rooney Rule all covered?

Shit Saleh is the only one even remotely interesting.
His interview is Saturday

He's not their DC, just an associate HC or some such. Not sure what the rules are with that but it might be considered a promotion if he's the DC.
This is how I understand it.

Frazier is a good coordinator in a Zimmer sort of way.

There is the Carroll connection.

The Hindenburg was bad, but it gets a bad rap when compared to the Titanic. Yes, the Hindenburg caught fire and exploded, but the captain was largely blameless. I think there's pretty solid evidence that the Titanic's captain was far more culpable for his disaster.

Pete Carroll with Saleh. Yes please but with a decent OC.
Carroll is ancient. Can we TRY and bring on legit candidates, at least ones that won’t fall asleep during practice?

No retirees!

An NFL HC needs passion to last 25 games and the offseason. They need to continually refit and leverage new solutions. Carroll is done with all that. That’s why the highly loyal Allen family dumped his ass. Human beings get old… it’s over

Did you know that there's a species of jellyfish called the Turritopsis dohrnii, commonly known as the "immortal jellyfish"? This fascinating creature has the ability to revert back to its juvenile polyp stage after reaching maturity, essentially allowing it to bypass death from old age. Here's how it works:

When the jellyfish encounters stress or injury, it can transform its cells back into a younger state, essentially reversing its life cycle.
This process is called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell directly transforms into another type, without going through an intermediate stem-cell state.

This phenomenon has caught the attention of scientists worldwide, not only for its biological uniqueness but also for potential medical implications, like understanding cellular rejuvenation. However, despite its nickname, the jellyfish isn't truly immortal; it can still die due to predation, disease, or other external factors.

I'd still bet on it being Moore and Zimmer and these sorts of interviews are more contingency planning for the DC spot if Zimmer decides he's out.

I'll be damned. You learn all sorts of shit on this board.

Gee, I wonder why Mike wouldn't want an "heir apparent," on the staff. It's a built in mechanism to get fired.

I was all for it when a loser like Fat Wade was the abysmal hire because it was the quickest way to get him back off the payroll. But when you've got Mike McCarthy you shouldn't be building in contingencies to undermine him.

That combined with his surliness over the last few months has me thinking he will really fuck this up.
I listened to some clips of him last night. He’s getting like Biden where here’s starting to get ultra belligerent and curse, talking over people etc. The failures are hopefully starting to leave some marks.
He’s always been narcissistic as hell and could get very curt in interviews but this is a whole new level

Shouldn't have done it either time.

Nothing to do with Garrett even. It sets you up for a bad culture and divided loyalties.

He wants people to praise and worship him at all times, and gets pissy when they question him. He has zero humility.
