wow are you kidding me.....every single big sec and big 12 job has infinitely more pressure than notre dame...you people never cease to amaze

How many SEC football programs have their own television contracts?

I'll wait...

they have a tv contract because they have a huge dallas cowboy type fanbase...but its like comparing the pressure of having to play in dallas verse the pressure of having to play in philly or new york

except the pressure to win at lsu bama auburn tenn texas oklahoma is incalcuable....the culture of big time college football in the south is like nothing else in american sports...notre dame is a cake walk...their fanbase is large but not demanding or crazy because its made up of so many non alumni...and its not in a lot of peoples blood...its fans like you or easy who like them win they are good and could care less when they arent but even when they are good people dont go looking for scalps to carve or bridges to jump off when they lose

watch the alabama auburn 30 for 30 and youll see what im talking about

At this rate these clowns should hope to hire someone by the draft, right?

the problem is probably that no one really wants the job....if they dont hire someone who is currently coaching then we will know this for sure

[JackStraw]

if they dont get any action by the weekend look for howie to get a little paniky in the ole gold standard war room. i think the ND look-see was a bit of the panic settin in already.

if a bradley or armstrong blew them away in an interview and they feel strongly about one of them as their man then i can live with and respect that and the waiting is fine....otherwise get the farg on with it before all the good coordinators get scooped...inept worthless pos franchise buffalo has already named their coach and both coordinators for god sakes

[QB Eagles]

It's January 10.

I realize the Eagles haven't been through this for a while but maybe people forget that most of the time this isn't a process that takes only 10 days. Five other teams are still searching, too. One of them only fired their coach today.

[ice grillin you]

the difference is the eagles have interviewed 12 people in those ten days...they arent exactly taking their time or being measured here

only the bears have interviewed that many.....cards and chargers for example combined have conducted six interviews

they look like a chicken with their head cut off on coke....they have done enough...posturing time is over...get it done and make sure you have the best possible pick of the litter when it come to coordinators

[QB Eagles]

Who cares if they interview 100 guys? They are probably waiting 2 weeks for McCoy and Bradley anyway, so they might as well interview other people. Maybe someone will be a surprise standout.

There's no evidence it matters when you hire the guy, and they would probably rather look like a headless chicken now than when they are stuck with a shtein coach.

C'mon. You want this done soon for the same reason I do. I want to know who the new coach is going to be. It's frustrating not to know. But that's really the only reason to care about when it happens.

[ice grillin you]

no i want the best possible pick of coordinators and position coaches....would have loved pettine

and i already said im fine if they are waiting for bradley armstrong or mccoy....if not they should be crucified...and they need to stop the charade by doing things like brian kelly....if they are waiting on one of those coaches then there is definitely already an oral agreement....no need to try and show off...its unbecoming...buts thats howie and thats why the rest of the league hates him

[PhillyPhreak54]

The Banners hired Chudzinski as the HC and rumors have it that Norv will be his OC.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Eric Bieniemy expected to be Andy's RB coach.

Good news in the sense maybe Eagles keep Ted Williams.

[Munson]

Or at the very least, his frozen head

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That was tragically bad, Dave.

Why is everyone in panic mode?  I could see if it was a week or two after the superbowl, but whats the rush to hire someone now just because we can?  Doesn't it make sense that we're still waiting seeing as how the playoffs are still going?  Would you rather have hired Robby Chudd or Norv Turner just to have a head coach.

I don't see the rush.  Only downside is that maybe some coordinators will be unavailable, but I haven't heard that many get hired yet.
