[Timone]

49ers hired Martz.

[Zekyl]

Alex Smith, have fun with that.

[Timone]

The Falcons are pursuing Pete Carroll for the head coaching job.

Richard Gere, I mean Pete, would be dumb to take it (and you know he won't).

[Zekyl]

I hope for his own sake he doesn't. He's proven that he's a great college coach, but he's not a pro coach. Stick with college.

[MoTown]

I hope they punish USC after he leaves for all of the fucking infractions they've had...

[Timone]

Richard is expected to talk with the Falcons.

It is said that Blanke may be willing to give full control to Carroll.

Honestly, this would be a dumb decision. It's not like you're inheriting a team that even looks like they're ready to contend.

[Glenn]

I thought that they were going to hire Mike Singletary?

This is a move that I would have expected out of Daniel Snyder/Redskins.

I'm shocked that Blank is so willing to go back to a college coach after the Petrino debacle.

[Glenn]

Also, I hope Snyder doesn't target Cowher, because that might be a job that he'd consider.

[Timone]

I'm shocked that Blank is so willing to go back to a college coach after the Petrino debacle.

Agreed.

I still think Carroll's going to say no.

[Glenn]

I don't think "Richard" is going to catch on as a nickname for Pete Carroll.

I might be wrong.
