  1. Absolutely the worst loss by a top 3 seed in tourney history. I haven't gone back to look at the stats but I remember dwelling on how horribly ACU played yet they still managed to beat our ass. A 14 seed playing as atrociously as ACU played typically gets them beat by 30, but not that night.
  2. Dalrymple retired a few weeks ago. The conspicuous absence of any fanfare or well wishes from the Cowboys following his announcement last month suddenly makes sense.
  3. Good to finally be on the other end of that shit.
  4. Stafford literally led the league in INTs this year yet people are using this season as a reason to firm up his HOF accolades. Fucking nuts.
  5. I hope Beard is in on Tre Johnson #20 who is a sophomore out of Lake Highlands. Kid might be the most skilled sophomore out of Texas High schools that I've seen in a longtime.
  6. People just don't fully grasp how exhaustive and exceedingly ridiculous these redlining designations were. You'd have neighborhoods in Atlanta filled with black doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and professors marked red while areas around the steel and industrial cities of the midwest would get yellow and green designations based simply on the race of the residents as opposed to their actual likelihood to default on mortgages. Not to even mention how the federally backed banks like the Bank of Italy (now Bank of America) thrived under this system while black banks and businesses were completely handicapped in the market. And on top of that, federal and state governments would routinely bulldoze black neighborhoods for whatever "greater purpose" they thought would be better served. The dual process of creating centers of commerce all across America for white people while simultaneously destroying any chance of success for black people really did a number on the rest of America's perceptions of who black people are and what they are capable of.
  7. I actually liked the guy. He gave really thoughtful interviews and with better health I bet he would've eventually become a fan favorite. Too bad his knees kept him from consistently showing his full range of skills/
  8. I'm not sure how you came away from my comments and concluded they sound like they're coming from Jerry. I'm literally stating that the entitlement culture is coming from Jerry. Much like Chido here alludes to there are too many extraneous components that come with being a Cowboy. Fucking Jaylon Smith and even Ben Dinucci were focused on developing their brand which Jerry not only allows and encourages but helps to facilitate their commercial distractions that take away from a focus on football.
  9. His take is completely cynical. He doesn't believe any of what he's saying and is only pushing this nonsense to push the notion that any attempt to bring fairness to the process is an overstep in his eyes.
  10. If your widen that relationship to nfl personnel and marriage it probably grows by a few more. I know the Bengals head coach Zac Taylor married former NFL & Aggy coach, Mike Sherman's daughter. There are a few more like that sprinkled throughout the issue. Even the truly talented coaches like Shannahan and McVay are related to coaches and former front office personnel.
  11. Not necessarily. The Jaguars have potentially a generational QB talent, loads of draft picks, and plenty of space under the cap. If it weren't for their ownership and the abysmal track record of their personnel department they'd be a surefire destination job. Regardless even with those issues a confident coach with championship pedigree (ala Doug Pedersen) will believe he could navigate those waters.
  12. @SL Xpresshas mentioned it before and I noted it when we hired Beard, but you're severely understating how exceptional he is in the area of engaging fan interest. I literally have never seen a coach behave in this manner before. Even Mack, who when he first arrived at UT, did a lot to motivate interest, didn't approach it in a manner in which he clearly took sole responsibility for the mission. Chris Beard is the fucking Michael Jordan of this sort of endeavor and the fact that other coaches don't come close to approaching him in this area ain't really that much of an indictment.
  13. His willingness to attempt to clarify what he said without actually clarifying anything give me pause and leads me to believe he realizes he pushed a bit past the truth, plus his past history of doing Jeff Fisher's bidding in defaming VY lead me to believe he's not above carrying water for his sources when they want to push a narrative.
  14. And Lombardi is saying those are his words not Flores but he never clarifies what Flores said. Read the tweet.
  15. The guy who referenced those comments by Flores to Tua on the podcast , Mike Lombardi, is sort of going back on Flores making those specific comments to Tua.
  16. In house candidates don't count towards the Rooney Rule.
  17. Rooney ruled changed in recent years. I believe a team needs 2 different minority in person interviews to satisfy the Rooney rule requirement (ie they needed Frazier's and Flores' interviews to fulfill this obligation).
  18. Romo only played half a season on a below market contract. He didn't touch the field until 6 games into his final year of his initial deal. Actually now that I think about it he probably didn't even have a multi-year rookie deal. He was probably year-to-year those first 4 years, and assuredly below market until he popped on the scene in 2006.
  19. A quote that was made in response to a number of issues beyond just coaching, but if your point is that people need blacks holding every coaching position available to stop complaints so no attempt to fix things is worth it because it's impossible to satisfy their desires then I guess you did it. I mean you have an NBPA director commenting on issues of ownership, GMs, women in positions of power, and a myriad of other issues, but she clearly won't be satisfied until some equivalent of " 32 black head coaches and 32 white gms and 32 white owners" is achieved so the attempt to increase fairness isn't worth it.
  20. Yeah a one off article that touched on everything from ownership to front office personnel doesnt really disprove my point about coaches and the leagues of difference in serious criticism between the 2 sports, but good try though.
  21. Yeah Sturm doesn't know shit about college sports and the more he talks about it the more he exposes himself to the audience of this fact.
  22. And the one talented QB (Carson Palmer) he had in his tenure lost an ACL while throwing an 80 yard TD in the organization's very 1st playoff game in 20+ years and was never the same after that. I wanna say it was the very 1st play of that game too. I would've hated to be a fan of the Bengals at that moment. Pure joy and pure grief all in the same moment.
  23. Yeah players definitely jump the line ahead of longtime assistants. In that context fairness could be questioned, but someone could argue they more than make up for that lack of coaching experience with their playing experience which in the end is just a matter of what one holds in higher value.
