January 16, 201511 yr comment_142985 How can TB deny him. Is he assistant head coach and TE coach currently? I like Mularkey. Extremely competent. Report
January 16, 201511 yr Author comment_142987 From what I read, teams can't deny a position coach from interviewing for a HC job, but they can for any other job. Report

January 16, 201511 yr Author comment_143001 I'd really like to see Mularkey get it. He's ran some pretty good offenses, they were good enough to get a HC gig twice. He got Matt Ryan in his rookie year, and did a good job developing him. Report
January 16, 201511 yr comment_143009 freak Mike Mularkey. They better hire Shanahan. He should hire who he wants , he's captain of the ship now. Report
January 16, 201511 yr Author comment_143011 http://baltimoresportsandlife.com/baltimor...-system-part-2/ Summary The E-P system is a simple one. Take what the defense will give you. You can be a power running team one week, a spread out air raid offense the next, a balanced attack that keeps teams guessing the next. You can put up points in a hurry, or slow the pace down to a crawl. It doesn’t need specific personnel. Since specific types of players aren’t required, it opens up more possibilities when drafting players or signing free agents. For a team that drafts best player available and not necessarily positional need, like the Ravens, this is a great fit. In fact, in the modern NFL where players are changing teams all the time, and some guys are fits at multiple positions, it’s anyone’s best guess why teams would still chose to run offenses with little wiggle room for personnel changes. This is from an article about the type of offense Mularkey runs and other teams in the league that run the system. The article was a pretty good read. Report
January 17, 201511 yr comment_143012 whoever we get I trust Fox's judgement and something that makes me smile is that our team will have an identity, a sense of direction. Last year it was hard to figure out what we were trying to do or thinking it just seemed like a chicken with it's head cut off. One thing Fox and his staff will bring is a sense of order and direction. Report

January 17, 201511 yr comment_143015 Can't deny an upward promotion...can deny anything else... That is not correct, that only applies to Head Coaches: The rule is pretty simple. A team can’t block an assistant coach, including a coordinator, from interviewing for and accepting a job as a head coach. All other moves, including from assistant coach to coordinator, can be blocked. It’s not unusual for a team to let a position coach interview for a coordinator position and to let that coach walk if he gets the offer. Organizations that get a reputation for blocking their coaches from advancing their careers could well find themselves having difficulty in hiring good assistants. So they usually will go along.

January 17, 201511 yr comment_143028 How about we let coach Fox hire who he wants. Peace How about he asks me who I want first? I just want to see Shanahan's zone run schemes with Forte and the moving pockets for Cutler. He's a perfect fit. Report

January 17, 201511 yr comment_143046 For some reason, I confused Mike Munchek (sp?) with Mike Mularkey. I feel a little better now, although I still would really like to see Kyle Shanahan. Report
January 18, 201511 yr comment_143074 Access denied per Biggs. Scratch him off the list, so now Shanahan and Gase? Report
January 18, 201511 yr comment_143095 Scratch him off the list, so now Shanahan and Gase? I'd include Doug Marone on that list. Before Fox was hired, there was speculation that it would be Shanahan as the OC and Dennis Allen as the DC. Shanahan declined to interview with San Fran which led me to believe it was pretty much a done deal. I wouldn't be surprised if Shanny has agreed but we just haven't announced it. I REALLY don't get the infatuation with Gase or want him here as OC. With Peyton Manning, I could have been successful as Denver's OC, and I promise, you wouldn't want me leading the Bear's offense.
