Joe Buck saying Donald Parham was possibly shaking on the ground because it was 50 degrees in LA was one of the wildest things I've ever heard.
And the Chargers Head Coach kept going for it on 4th down, because #analytics, what a buffoon. It made me think immediately of the outcry that came when Bielema didn't go for it on 4th down (except opposite, of course).
I'm not anti-analytics, but why the hell are you chasing points when you're either down less than two touchdowns or even ahead. He takes one of those FG opportunities and they might win that game, he takes two of them and they definitely win.
During the broadcast they kept saying the analytics would indicate to go for it. But they may have been talking out their backside.I’m pretty sure the analytics say take the sure thing points in those situations anyway. Pretty much any time you’re ahead or close, you’re supposed to take the points. It’s basically the same calculation as deciding between 1-point and 2-point conversions.
I think you’re supposed to be conservative when choosing between go for it and the FG, and aggressive when choosing between go for it and the punt. In the first case, sure-thing points on the possession is better than a fractional chance of points on the possession. In the second case a fractional chance of points on the possession is better than forgoing any chance of points on the possession.
You have to wonder if any college program would take him, baggage and all. NFL stint may have tarnished his brand a bit but hey - he wins at college ball. My bet is some SEC team picks him up, or some other school that used to win but has been in the dumps recently. I would have suggested Miami if they hadn’t just pulled Cristobal from Oregon.
In my opinion, if he wants to coach college again, the opportunity will be there. The only question is what level of job is he willing to accept? No top program is going to risk that, but plenty of others will. Especially if he lays low for a couple years.You have to wonder if any college program would take him, baggage and all.

It might be kind of head in the sand-ish, but I think this makes sense.Sounds like NFL and NFLPA have agreed to updated protocols:
Wish the NHL would do this......................Sounds like NFL and NFLPA have agreed to updated protocols:
