I mean that’s from BA himself. We built a win now veteran team to make a run and we made it to the NFC championship game.

he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild and was in bad health

You can believe whatever you want but that’s the truth.

He also said one of the most important reasons for stepping away was because he wanted to spend time with his adult son. Told the story about being shocked to discover his son turned 40. Yada yada yada. Guess a year was enough.

He doesn't take a break if he was working for a competent and professional owner and front office.

Right.

I remember how you were saying we would rue the day because he would go to the Super Bowl somewhere else. That you were totally supportive of his refusal to fire any assistant coaches. You were calling him out that what he was saying his about his health and family was all ********.

Sorry. I don't know how I forgot all that.

Oh make no mistake those guys are like drug addicts they need that coaching lifestyle. You hear the stories about Gruden not even going home and sleeping at the office and apparently that’s common for a lot of them.

Stupid. Packs coach will and should get roasted for the decision to kick a fg. And what the hell os wrong with Rodgers? Why didn’t he take off running?
Postgame Rodgers said he eschewed running on 3rd because he was thinking he’d have a 4th down crack at a TD.

this makes no sense. I have a likely TD or at least have a chance to get a shorter 4th down but instead I will throw a terrible ball into double coverage that almost gets picked because I know I have 4th down?

yeah... no. Rodgers blew it and then his compounded his mistake.

Actually, it should never be said again because it's an idiotic conspiracy theory with no basis in fact, and this country has had far too much of that BS lately.

It's really, really tiresome.

Sounds neat. Yet.

When Arians unretired and Wilks was fired why the heck did the Cardinals not even attempt to bring back the Arians? The whole gang was available including Bowles. OH, Arians wanted to go to a team with better talent with a chance to win? This is where we land on Bidwill preferring Keim, despite 7-8, 8-8 and 3-13 seasons, over Arians.

Even today in Bidwill's view, Keim is better than Arians. As John Madden said, keep the coach not the suit.

Alas, seasons change, presidents change yet these Cardinals, 5 years removed from Bruce, no way near their 2014, 2015 teams that Keim put together. No "fake news" kicker in this is, Keim's 2014/2015 teams won only one playoff game. 8 years into Keim's tenure that is the sole playoff win.

Agreed. Then again, hard to keep emotions in check after a rough loss.

Ugh forgot about Licht. Looks like we let the wrong front office guy go.
Hey, also the owner and existing front office guy didn't even interview Frank Reich when they hired Kliff.

Bucs got the worst winning % out of every single sports franchise counting all franchises from the Big 4 (NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL) & yet they could end up having TWO titles in their history.
