I just get a feeling Ryans, McDaniel (avoiding the Dolphins with the current controversy), and hell even Harbaugh reading the room...and just slowing stepping backwards....until all this gets alittle more cleared up. Certain Owner(s) being removed, lawsuit settled.

Uh.. don't count on any action like Owner removal happening any time soon. Legal process can take years to play out. See for example D. Watson. Vikes should have a coach long before then.

Usually yes... but this mentioned earlier...could speed things up.

Stephen Ross was reported in Nov. 2019 to have invested into a sports gambling startup as part of a $17.5M fundraising round. https://t.co/5lg27kg4MC

If an NFL team owner is investing in sports gambling while incentivizing his head coach to lose games, that's a gigantic issue.

That's where the "or hell, even Jim.." comes in..

Jimbo is all Football, so not too surprised. And Vikings were not specifically named.

Curious what happens with McDaniel and Miami.....aaaaaawkward. Wonder how the interview would go lol.

To his point, Ryans likely withdrew because he sensed that there was no point to a second interview if the Vikings are clearly honing in on Harbaugh.

He's young, he's a former player, he works under an offensive minded head coach and was unbelievably successful as a first year DC. Another good season and he'll be the one calling the shots on which job he wants to take. The 49ers bringing Lance along while he's in the building will be another boost for him as well.

Yup give the guy some better secondary players and he will look even better. Plus yeah if Trey looks good it'll be a huge plus for him in knowing what it takes to groom a young qb.

This is not looking good for the teams alleged nor for Flores. He was still in the hunt for a couple of jobs and now I doubt he gets them considering the heat he's bringing on the league with what doesn't sound like substantial proof.

It's gonna be a fun offseason lmao. Hoping we steer clear of any drama this year. I hope Flores gers a shot again. Teams with good owners will give him a shot. I doubt Flores would ever go to Washington haha

Maybe Belichick did this to screw over his AFC East Rival...

....and what a way to dig at Tom on his retirement day.

You telling me Elway doesn't look like a mimosa drinker?

But coming in damn near s**tfaced? I guess some owners would be bad to work for, that's just like working a normal job. I think people that only work in sports don't realize what real life is like.

I've woken up piss drunk plenty of times

Flores must have gone to the Colin Kaepernick School Of Stupid. Even played the "this lawsuit may risk my coaching career" card, just like Kap. The Giants held a second interview with Leslie Frazier. If they were just trying to fulfill the requirements of the Rooney Rule, there would have been no point in a second interview. Shocking that a head coach with a losing record and no playoff appearances wasn't the first choice! Cover up mediocrity with racist allegations - it is the Kaepernick way!

Sorry not going back thru the pages. You read about Bill right? Congrats to wrong coach? Ooops and before Flores even interviewed. I admit the Bill mistake alone might get him millions..
