Harbaugh dodged a bullet when Denver hired Sean Payton.  They will be saddled with $85 million dead money over the next two years with nothing to show for it.  Add the two first draft picks and two second round draft picks Denver traded to get Wilson and they are screwed for years to come.

When you prep for a colonoscopy, eat foods that are high in water content the two to three days before.  There will be less solids in your colon to clear.  The last time I prepped for a colonoscopy, I ate nothing but plain microwaved potatoes (75-80% water) and there was very little cramping.

That's what people said about Bo when he first came to Ann Arbor.

It didn't help that KC was deep in the playoffs the years he was there and Bieniemy couldn't interview in person until KC's season was over.  By then, a lot of the HC jobs had been filled.

"Foster impressed the UCLA brass with his ability to lead and command a room. Per sources, school officials believe Foster can resonate in the Los Angeles market and emphasize recruiting and fundraising.

Foster was also the overwhelming choice of the current players, who believe in him as a connecter and leader, sources said. Foster has worked under Kliff Kingsbury, Jim Mora, Chip Kelly and played in a Super Bowl with the Carolina Panthers under John Fox. They see him as a modern CEO coach who can identify and develop players.

Foster spent a decade in various roles on the UCLA staff, including running backs coach from 2017 through this year."

Whether or not Joey is awarded 2023 rings, he has 2021 and 2022 B1G Championship rings.  Joey will also have something his OSU teammates will never have - a Michigan degree.

"The allure of a new…

"The allure of a new opportunity at a prestigious program like Michigan, the easier recruiting sell, and the potential for career advancement and financial gain made this a no-brainer move for Scruggs. It’s important to recognize that the departed staff members aren’t necessarily “Wisconsin guys” and are simply working their way up the ladder through opportunities at more prestigious programs.

In his first full recruiting cycle with the Badgers, Scruggs landed two four-star defensive linemen in Ernest Willor Jr. and Dillan Johnson. For context, Wisconsin had only landed two composite four-star DLs since 2016.

The former Wisconsin Badgers defensive line coach was reportedly courted with a significant raise. Moreover, a personal connection exists between Scruggs and Moore, stemming from their time together at the University of Louisville."

Jordan Strack worked for WTOL -TV in Toledo for 14 years before he was dismissed for encouraging viewers to reach out to him if they wanted to learn more about FanDuel, DraftKings and Barstool Sports. Strack offered to send viewers a “referral link” to those apps if they wanted to try out the services.

It was not the first time Strack advocated for sports betting.  A source familiar with his activity pointed to a social media account Strack launched in 2021 that was entirely dedicated to sports-related gambling. The account described Strack as WTOL’s sports director “by day, sports gambler by night.”

WTOL declared Strack’s social media activity to violate the company’s professional conduct and ethics policies, and he was shown the door after nearly 14 years at the station. Strack later deleted the tweet encouraging viewers to reach out to him for sports gambling referral codes.

The Ravens have four defensive assistant coaches that are being interviewed for defensive coordinator positions.

Assistant head coach and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson, inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr and defensive pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt are all candidates after interviewing for defensive coordinator positions with other NFL teams this offseason.

To replace Macdonald as defensive coordinator, the Ravens have many options on their current staff to promote.

Assistant head coach and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson, inside linebackers coach Zachary Orr and defensive pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt are all candidates in Baltimore after interviewing for defensive coordinator positions with other NFL teams this offseason.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39429973/sources-seahawks-hire-ravens-dc-mike-macdonald-coach

Mike Macdonald is the fifth Ravens defensive coordinator to become an NFL head coach. Three of the previous four (Marvin Lewis, '96-01, Rex Ryan, '05-08, & Chuck Pagano, '11) went on to make multiple playoff appearances.

If you read the whole article it mentions that the Packers would also like to interview Ravens defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson.  It looks like Wilson is more in demand as the Giants, Rams, and Titans also want to interview him.
