Why Freeman would leave ND is beyond stupid. Even if they don’t win the championship you’ll have the top college recruits going there for the next few years anyway. Why leave a good thing just to be fired in 3 years.
Lions fan here and I'm calling AG to the Saints now, and its the one I'm most concerned about from a competitive standpoint down the road in terms of Dan Campbell coaching tree Please just let him go to the AFC
You think teams just call Pep up like "Pep, you know the drill. We'll take you to a mighty fine steakhouse. Whatever and however much you want. Whaddya say?"
Aaron Glenn knows that Patriots got heat for making a mockery of the Rooney Rule so he declined because he knows the interview is bullshit publicity. And just because a team wants a coach doesn’t mean the coach will choose the team 🤷🏾♂️ why tf would Ben Johnson coach the Patriots if their team is 2 years away “at best” for a roster rebuild. Patriots and Mike V makes sense but he also has better options.
Maybe because the Patriots have a franchise Quarterback who’s seen around the league as a top 3-5 QB in the coming years, have a top 4 pick in the draft, have 130 million in cap space, and have an ownership that is easy to work with? The Patriots are easily one of the top destinations for coaches around the league
How do you know it's a mockery? What if they or their agents requested to get interviews so they could get their names out in the NFL Sphere again. Isn't that what the spirit of the rule is to get minority coaches names talked about and potentially hired even if it isn't for HC.
Ben Johnson going to the Raiders kind of reminds me when Kyle Shanahan agreed to coach the Niners. He was given a team where he had a lot of control and had no pressure to win right away and the leeway to build something. That team didn’t have a QB either. If Ben Johnson takes a coaching job I would think that’s the best fit for him because there won’t be any expectations out of the gate. If he goes to a team like Chicago he’ll be expected to succeed with Caleb Williams instantly. Even going to the Patriots he’d have more pressure to win now
Raiders are always in a win now strategy that is the problem with the organization they are paying 3 former coaches and 3 former gms thats not a good organization.
As a ND fan I don't want Freeman going anywhere. However as a Bears fan that's who I want as their next head coach. I don't know what happened after that Hail Mary in Washington but that game broke the Bears. The Bears had a talented enough roster that they should've made the playoffs but their season fell apart after that game. A couple weeks before that ND had a similarly horrible loss and when you add the fact that ND has had injury after injury to the point where backups to the backups are playing yet Freeman kept this team together. I hate the phrase but they say their looking for a leader of men well I don't know a better resume bullet point than what he's done with ND this season.
Ben Johnson to the Jags makes sense bc he can turn Lawrence into Goff, they have a good roster, and Ben loved Brian Thomas Jr. during the draft process
he is going to Chicago Ben doesn't want to work with the jags GM and when bears assistant GM Leaves Ben can go there and bring his own guy to be the assistant
@@carterbrock3068 but someone else in the comments said Ben Johnson is going to the Raiders...I just don't know which commenter I should believe...oh snap
The Rooney rule is so f****** stupid. How insulting is it to a a black coaching candidate when you know that a team is about to throw all of the money at Ben Johnson but you're brought in just to fulfill a silly rule knowing that you're not going to get the job? We need to move past this stupid rule. People are still going to get hired no matter what their color is. Hell, Aaron Glenn is probably the third or fourth most sought after head coaching candidate this off-season as long as you're competent, you will be hired eventually.
Yup. The NFL being DEI way before it became a cancer to the Nation. And this contributed to their global movement. All NFL games will be pay-per-view in a few years. Mark my words. Legalized gambling accelerated this, and it crushes the real fans of the league.
The more times "the Rooney Rule" is mentioned the clearer it is how much of a sham it is, one that has changed nothing. "Just to be clear, Mr. Minority, we're interviewing you, strictly because of compliance, so let's get this over with." lol
@@varsitycamplife Yes. And also what demographic makes up the majority of the league itself. Is your point that there is no longer a good ol boys club in terms of who's hiring and promoting whom, how fast and how often? (And let's discuss the speed with which some are fired, and some are not. Flores' lawsuit is the tip of a long standing and iceberg, and people know it.)
@AkamatsuCreative my point is simply, the Rooney Rule, with all of its flaws and inherent problems, has helped lead to a measurable degree of progress.
AG declined the Pats request for an interview. And Tom never said AG can't interview with the Jets, it's NFL Rule that he can't interview *IN PERSON* yet. Hopefully that clears any confusion
@@balamkinich7968 Actually that wasn't my point. Tom mentioned the Rooney Rule being met by the jets with the interview of the Maryland Coach and Ron Rivera. Fact is the Jets completed a video interview with Glenn BEFORE the Maryland Coach. Thus the rule was already met. Hopefully that clarifies what I felt Tom missed
I think Rooney Rule requires two In-person meetings with minority coaches Thus what the Patriots and Jets did in bringing in two guys that were never true candidates @@whatudontunderstandis-gk9hk
@@SunniMerlot I am positively sure you are wrong. Tom Brady is now part owner. Do you think he's going to preside over some kind of sorry-assed team? No chance. Raiders will return from the dead.
He knows that Pats want Vrabel and why would you want to work for an owner who just fired a beloved Patriot. Why help the Pats fulfill the Rooney Rule at your expense?
The irony in this statement considering the rule was put in place due Coaches with merit experience and qualifications not being considered due to their skin color. How many coaches of color have been canned after the 1st year or used as a scapegoat for not immediately making a bad team a SB contender.
@@Th4t_guy_ Almost like black coaches should have been given fair chances without needing a rule in place, but they did need the rule, because there were only 2 black head coaches hired between 1921 and 1989.
Ugh….. Here we go… It should be based on experience and merit but clearly they needed to make this rule due to the fact that potential black coaches have been shunned. But the problem with the rule is that sometimes black coaches do get hired just because they’re black and it becomes apparent that they shouldn’t have been in the position in the first place. Take AP for example.. I like the guy, but it was clear that he had no business being a head coach… And I’m a Raiders fan.
Feel like the league should have some kind of halt on HC interviews until after SB. Like coach free agency?... Feels like with all these candidates and future candidates that may or may not be available, some team is gonna end up screwed by the musical chairs. Just gonna be another 1 year coach and wasted season. Not to mention some of the candidates are a bit busy
Also, I just want to point out that no team should hire either Ben Johnson or Aaron Glenn. Trust me, they're not good for your organization. They should stay where they are. They don't need to become head coaches somewhere else.
There are plenty of talented coordinators out there, and the team still has a solid core of young talent. Plus, the GM has shown he knows how to draft. The funny part is seeing other teams try to copy what the Lions are doing by poaching their coaches. Guess “Detroit vs. Everybody” really holds true.
Jeez, Rich. Marcus Freeman just signed a contract extension at ND. Why would he leave ND for the same cast of NFL horrible franchises? Also, if someone wants to "buy" Marcus Freeman, they have to pay the balance of his new contract. Wise up, huh?
Don't you all you Football guys think that Aron Glen and Ben Johnson as a duo as GM Aron Glen and Ben Johnson Head Coach would be the tandem to grab together to rebuild your team! If i were an Owner i would grab Both guys! Who they also can bring in would be a rebuild over night!
are you on drugs? Aaron Glenn is the Lions defensive coordinator. In what planet would it make sense for any team, or Aaron Glenn for that matter, to all of the sudden take a GM role. He literally has no experience whatsoever. Maybe leave this one to the "football guys"

Why am i not surprised the saints arent even mentioned when he interviewed with glenn today, they gotta be the most ignored team in the nfl rn
oh yeah, the Saints. Forgot that was a team 😆😅🤣
Always has been
The Jags got mentioned before them lol
It's probably bc the Saints aren't in an enviable situation... Derek Carr & the 9th overall pick? oof

Please just let him go to the AFC
You are correct. it's the playoffs. no one cares right now..
Aaron Glenn's crew telling the Patriots crew, "We're not going to waste our time, no thank you ..."
That's pretty funny, actually
He knew the Pats weren't serious.
5 interviews is a lot of interviews to prepare for while your team is still in the playoffs. Each interview can be up to 3 hours
@@deadlata9767 / NFL head coaches get paid millions of dollars a year ... I assure you it wasn't the 3 hours
You think teams just call Pep up like "Pep, you know the drill. We'll take you to a mighty fine steakhouse. Whatever and however much you want. Whaddya say?"
Pretty sure they guaranteed him a position on the team for doing the interview
