2013 NFL Season Thread

[Pizza]

Put a 9:00 pm local time game on in Oakland or something that week to make up for it.

[Dan]

I should be at that game.

Also, Jags won again last night, what a turnaround.

Houston just fired Kubaik.

[gunnar hendershow]

So Houston will clean house and draft Bridgewater, then?

[Meacon Keaton]

Houston is going to draft Mario Williams 2.0.

[livid]

They're hire Sumlin and then draft Manziel.

[Maxx]

They're going to be fine either way. Draft Bridgewater and you get a potential franchise QB. Draft Clowney and you have a pass rush with him and JJ Watt, that's pretty fantastic.

[Meacon Keaton]

If they hire Sumlin, they can start thinking about who they want #1 next year too.

[Maxx]

Their owner said they prefer someone with head coaching experience and definitely want someone with NFL experience. Who's the coordinator-du-jor this year?

[HC]

Sumlin just signed a big extension with A&M as well.

As far as Maxx's question, Jay Gruden(Cin OC) was interviewed for quite a few openings last year. Then there's always his brother or Lovie Smith.

It's almost been a year since a franchise were stupid enough to think Norv Turner could be a head coach.

[livid]

Jay Gruden, I guess.

Outside of that, Sean McDermott?

Sumlin just signed a big extension with A&M as well.

Contracts mean nothing in college football.

[Meacon Keaton]

Also I don't think any NFL team would touch Sumlin until he proves he knows what the word 'defense' means.

Not like a college coach (in football or basketball) hasn't left after signing an extension, before

Not like it doesn't at least decrease the probability of him leaving, though.

Even if he did, I don't think it'd be a good fit for either side.

Yeah, good point, but I still wouldn't see him leaving for Houston

[The Buscher]

I feel bad for Gary Kubiak. Yes he was always going to be fired after this beyond shitty year. But between the stroke incident and the fact that he's been there 8 years, I don't see why he couldn't finish out the final 3 games. If the Texans were going to promote a fresh young mind into the head coaching role for 3 games, that'd be one thing. But you're just kinda throwing a retread in to keep the seat warm. I would certainly hope that Wade Phillips isn't actually a candidate to get a full-time head coaching gig in 2014.

[HC]

Extra games means extra stress on a recovering Kubiak. It was the right thing to do. He'll get another shot somewhere in a year or two.

[Meacon Keaton]

If Houston hires Wade Phillips, they deserve whatever awfulness they get. The man is like on Norv Turner-levels on the "HE'S A COORDINATOR NOT A HEAD COACH PEOPLE" meter.

[Your Mom]

They should hire Lovie Smith. I always thought he was pretty good

[HC]

I'm sure he's on the list. I'd be calling the elder Gruden first, though.
