There’s no reason Bienemy shouldn’t be a strong candidate. Unless AR is telling him to avoid that mess 

We have no idea what or who Bienemy is as a coach....you certainly can't judge his abilities based on the success of the KC offense. 

He would have to be very impressive in an interview, which we would never know other than ambiguous reports.

Very much a "Proximity" candidate.

Hopefully Stoutland will be staying.

Someone in this organization needs to tell the players to go stand in a corner and shut up.  Maybe Mcdaniels is that guy.

They fired Doug, in part, to protect Wentz.  They won 4 games this year.  Texting the owner to campaign for a HC who was already on the staff?  You should be hopeful you have a job in 2021, not worried about backing one particular HC candidate.  These players are all overpaid, sit out weeks at a time for soft tissue injuries...I value the opinion of the biggest troll on this blog more for the next HC than I do for any player on the team.

I sincerely hope that Lurie is not dumb enough or, more importantly, soft enough to allow a talentless foundation of losers to dictate the next HC because of someone they feel comfortable with.

Why, thank you!

Rivers and brees retiring in the same year. Why are the odds when rivers replaced brees in SD both would wind up retiring in the same year.

Also feel bad for rivers wife as he now is likely at home more with nothing to do so they are going to add 18 more kids to the family

The more I think about it the more I want Duce. Personally, I think he’s more than earned it and it’s obvious the players want him. I hope he’s our next HC. 

The more I think about it I earned it more than him. I probably won't be popular with the players but too friggen bad

He should retire but i have a feeling Ben comes back for another year. But I’d be does talk about a ridiculous trio of QB retiring. And then brady going to be here until he is 70

I think that's the problem with guys like Duce and Bieniemy.  People think just because they've been in a position for a while they've earned the right to be a HC.  The same people (in general, not accusing you) who give credit to Bieniemy for working with Mahomes are the same ones who tear down McDaniels because he was successful with Tom Brady.

 What has Duce done to show he can be a good head coach?  Can he hire a good staff?  Can he gameplan?  Can he manage a roster?  If you ask me, his RB rotations have been trash.

If people think Duce has earned it, why doesn't Jeff Stoutland deserve to be a head coach?  Hasn't he earned it?  He's developed far more players than Duce has.  I'm just trying to wrap my head around why Duce is so attractive to be a head coach.  I loved him as a player.  One of the only jerseys I actually own.  I just don't see him as this must have HC.  I'd rather see him control an offense first to see what his schemes are, how he adjusts and such.

It’s not that he’s been in his position for awhile that I think he deserves it. I’m not someone who believes just because you’re a good position coach that you can be a head coach. I just think Duce has what it takes and it shows when players are calling for him to be the HC.

Rosenthal on MLB network the other day said feels like Realmuto is going back to the Phillies. Hopefully he’s right. I’d love to get him and didi back. The lineup is fine when it is completely healthy. I believe hoskins is out like 2 months to start the season due to the surgery he had. Pitching should be likely a disaster after nola, wheeler and eflin again 

Not a Phillies fan, but I do agree they will get Realmuto back.  They are probably bidding against themselves at this point.  The market was very limited for FAs with so many teams having lost money.  He will get a lot less than he wanted, which will be good for your team.

Can i say something? I just don’t get the enjoyment out of watching nascar. I’ve tried and i much rather watch curling or cornhole championship 

As a side note I’d love to bring back American gladiators. 

Agreed.  It's quite possibly the dumbest "sport" ever to watch on tv.  However, I would strongly suggest going to a Nascar race and sitting in the infield.  Best people watching of all time, and you'll gain a little respect for the drivers because they're all nuts.  

Loved American Gladiators.  I hope they'd still all use good old fashion steroids so that they could throw the contestants around like ragdolls.

Yeah especially if he doesn’t get more than 5 years. Not thrilled with him getting 5 years and turning 30 but it’s more reasonable then i thought prior to free agency where he could get more. Frankly the trade they made to get him would’ve been a disaster if he leaves.

Blue Jays signed Springer to the biggest FA contract in the teams history, I gotta say I'm pumped. We just need some starting pitching and we're right in it!

@Dawkins 20, you like it? Apparently we're in on Bauer, but that f'er wants $40 mill a year. Word is we're gonna sign Brantley to DH soon too. 

Absolutely love the Springer addition. He's exactly what this lineup needs.

Another SP and they're legit contenders. I'd love to land Bauer.

So many teams have cash concerns this year, I really hope Rogers gets super aggressive because they definitely can afford to. Take advantage while you can.

Yes folks.  A players coach will always get the players to play hard for him......that coach's message never goes stale.  And we are all just guys on the message board, you said I had no clue....of course I'm coming back at you.  I've stated numerous reasons why I don't like the hire even though you claimed to know my only reason.  Doug and Howie have not made good decisions.  And a ton that have not made a lot of sense.  That we can agree on.  But again, why would they contradict themselves.....they rarely do that.  They tend to over compensate and go in an extreme opposite direction from previous decisions.  Again, not justifying that practice.  I'm just stating what they have done.  If you can't see the value in getting experience at different stops as opposed to being with the same franchise for almost a decade, then I can't help you.   When I said....why would they hire duce after firing doug.....your response for wanting duce is because they have made bad decisions before....And I'm the  one?  

This the second time you’ve said that. That was not my response idk where you are getting that from. You never even asked me why I wanted duce so how could that be my response  You are losing it dude

He’s the OC for the greatest offense ever. That alone should have had him a job last year. 
 

The bold statement is beyond ridiculous. That’s like saying you can’t judge a teacher by the success of their students. 

Lol

My brother and I would watch this as often as it was on, reruns and all. Laser and Tower were my favorites and had a mad crush on Diamond. 

I haven't heard one good reason why duce should be coach

He needs to go just like doug

Now the discussion of whether he should go to the Hall. Does him getting a bunch of regular season stats put him in?

Hurts isn't competing for anything for another year. One read college spread QBs are a good way to go 6-10.

He needs to sit on the bench, watch a lot of film, and learn how to read a defense and quickly go through his progressions.

Meanwhile, Wentz gets a year to fix his issues.
