Gonzo Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Apparently Black Monday starts on Saturday now. "You're fired but we need you to cover your shift tomorrow." Nice. For what it's worth, a spokesperson for Shad Khan is denying this. Edited December 28, 2019 by Gonzo
RIPPA Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 There are reports all over the place regarding who Washington is going to hire and whether or not Bruce Allen is going to get fired The strongest reports - AT THE MOMENT - are Marvin Lewis will be the head coach and Allen will remain in some capacity I am giddy 1
dogwelder Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 On the other hand ESPN is reporting Ron Rivera is the leading candidate for the Skins job, so who the hell knows. Of course knowing the Skins they'll keep Callahan as head coach.

Marvin Lewis is probably a good bet for the coach, though. I mean, what self-respecting, up-and-coming young coaching prospect is going to go work for Dan Snyder?
RIPPA Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 The follow up local reporting is that while Bruce Allen will no longer be running the football side, he will still be there working on the Skins new stadium deal. That means by like Week 5 he will be back in charge

Imagine having worked for Mike Brown for 15 years and your next gig is for an even worse owner than him? 1 2
hammerva Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Imagine being so desperate that hiring a coach that has never won a playoff game with the Bengals is actually an upgrade I do like that the majority (small majority) are in Rippa thinking that Bruce isn't really leaving just changing the job title Edited December 29, 2019 by hammerva 1
RIPPA Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I am saying it because it has already happened at least once. Last time lasted about 8 months and then Bruce was back in charge. When all the stories are saying “well he isn’t on the football side anymore” instead of “was fired/retired” then I will believe it will happen again Especially if you hire Marvin Lewis who will role over and accept whatever happens
RIPPA Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Also apparently Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald turned down an interview with the Panthers
RIPPA Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Per all local reporting - the Skins will be hiring Ron Rivera tomorrow as long as he doesn't throw up all over himself. They are the first team he is meeting with and reportedly they are giving him final say on all draft related matters.

Or did they "interview" Marvin Lewis and can skate on that?

Rivera is Spanish and considered a minority, So it's all good. Don't need to fake interview a minority candidate when you plan on hiring a minority in the first place. 1
hammerva Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 So it actually seems like Bruce Allen was completely fired this morning. Not moved to a secret place where he can still work. Legit fired
RIPPA Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Panthers and Browns have both requested permission to interview Josh McDaniels because they are both stupid 1
RIPPA Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Pat Shurmur has officially been fired by the Giants Part of me feels like they did it so they could avoid Hard Knocks for another year

hammerva Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 If I had to take a guess the next Hard Knocks is the Steelers. Maybe the Jets

Maybe the Jets The Jets aren’t “required” to do it since they were on Hard Knocks in the last 10 years The teams that can be required (assuming none of them end up with a new coach) are: Pittsburgh Denver Detroit Arizona
Gonzo Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 23 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Jeez, he didn't even get "future endeavored." He got "get the fuck outed." 1 1
RIPPA Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Basically firing Gruden in mid-season allowed Snyder to start talking to folks and he had the wool removed from his eyes when people were like "No chance we take that job with Bruce still around"
hammerva Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Apparently the talk of Bruce staying as some kind of stadium consultant was the last test to see if they could get away with it. Can argue it was one of the first times Richie Rich actually listened to the fans. Had no choice Edited December 30, 2019 by hammerva
