The Coaching Deathwatch Thread

Wow. What an icehole. I want to give you the keys to my $200 million per year business, and you won't even come and talk to me about it?

[Cerevant]

No, I think it is more of a case of "No, Al, I won't be your farging token minority interview"

yeah, that's pretty obviously what's going on.  good for Green.

Does Denny Green even deserve an interview? 

His last four teams have gone 5-11, 6-10, 5-11 & 5-11.  For someone who hasn't had success during the past four seasons as a head coach, he's being pretty fricken arrogant about his "record."

[Quasimoto]

To be fair he was coaching the Cardinals.  Not even God himself could turn that franchise around.  He probably wouldn't want to either.

That's probably his point.  He knew his skin color and not his coaching skill was the reason Davis requested the interview.

Didn't even think of that. Who wouldn't want a free, all expenses paid  trip to Oakland?

I suppose so.  His comments could be taken one of two ways:

1. An interview is beneath me, so farg off.

2. I know I'm not a serious candidate so don't waste my time.


Either way, him refusing an interview seems a bit presumptuous.  He could have gone in there, blown the old fossil's doors off, and gotten the gig.  That is, if he even wanted it to begin with.

He just got done working for one worthless franchise. I don't think he wants to go work for Crazy Old Al right after that.

Cam Cameron takes the Dolphins job

[QB Eagles]

First Denny Green turns down the opportunity to interview with the Raiders. Now Steve Sarkisian turns down the job!

STEELERS PICK TOMLIN

Michael Silver of Sports Illustrated reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin to be the team's next head coach.

We've been banging the gong for Tomlin throughout the process, and we're glad to see that the Steelers picked him despite the fact that we endorsed him so strongly.

Tomlin beat out Steelers offensive line coach Russ Grimm and Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.

More to come.

Rick Kotite just can't get a job.
