Who ya got in Tampa?
Not sure, because I am not sure who will be on the market.  A lot depends on coaching hires,  how much does the new coach like, oh, Kirk Cousins or whoever.

Agree.  Definitely a "stay tuned".

About that NFL OT controversy:
Never mind.

Both teams had a possession on offense.

One was just more offensive than the other.

But the current version of the rule still sucks.


Yep.

Flores stayed silent and took the money.  He could have called Ross out immediately if he didnt think the $$  offer for losses was akin o good and proper NFL business.  Now it sounds like spoiled cheese (worse than grapes)

Tough case to prove. No one violated the Rooney Rule, if they interviewed minority candidates.

Uh, I think if they interviewed them AFTER deciding to hire someone else, which is the claim, that.would be against the spirit of the rule at the very least.

And Bellechick text proves this?

The official hire of Daboll was when?

And the Flores interview?

Was Flores given the chance to knock the Giants socks off?  To show Schoen he had something other than  years HC experience that Daboll lacked?


I would say YES.  He was.

No, the Belechick tests are evidence that the interview was a sham interview designed to pay mere lip service to the Rooney Rule. There are reasons to question what BB actually knew and how, of course, but they do show the Giants made the decision to hire Daboll before ever interviewing Flores.

How about.....

Daboll happened to go first
Daboll knocked it out of the park.

What more needs to be said after this?

Except that due to the rule Flores - whether or no the Giants still thought he could surpass Daboll - needed to be interviewed.  Without the rule maybe Giants call and  cancel.

None of this will mean shit to anyone who is stuck on GIANTS ARE RACIST BASTARDS,  which would be par for the Elba course.

Uh, no. They don't prove that at all.

You can be high on a candidate, and then say, wait...we gotta look at one more, and then say, well, we still like the other guy.

So prove that wasn't the case.


Maybe the BB text just prove that Flores has thin skin.

I did not use the word prove for a reason. It is evidence that they reached a decision and the interview with Flores was a sham. As I noted, other explanations can be conceived of, based on what BB heard and was told and who told him. But on its face it is some evidence to support the claim Flores makes about his interview being not in good faith, and a violation of the Rooney Rule.
