I mostly dismiss whatever Thom says because he likes to just ride the negativity and get under people's skin.

But I do share in Sheehan's skepticism when it comes to EB getting passed over for countless HC jobs and landing here, one of the biggest shit hole franchises in all of sports.

Ultimately though EB really had no choice, go back to KC or break out on his own even if it meant a quasi lateral move with a dumpster fire of a franchise. He needed us even more than we needed him.

I'm cautiously optimistic on EB, the far bigger issues are at QB and ownership.

I think it’s reasonable to be skeptical, but in the same breath Ron deserves credit for getting EB and they did much better than the expect going with someone internal, or Pat Schumer. Etc.

The problem is with Roman, when Sheehan brings him up, he overlooks the fact the much better Baltimore Ravens Org fired Roman. They parted ways, so no skepticism there?

I think there is reason for excitement with the EB hire

Roman wasn't fired he resigned. Maybe he would have been fired anyway, but it's worth noting the distinction.

Totally agree Ron deserves credit for swinging big on EB. I'm sure his relationship with Reid helped.

They also parted way with Wink Martindale? It's the NFL one year you're fired the next year you NFL Coach of the year.

Wink is a great coach, I didn’t get that one.

This is the way. Hopefully both of those are solved this offseason, Howell is an unknown but he flashed a little in week 18. In another month we should be talking about a new owner as well - Ron is gambling big hoping the new owner won't clean house immediately on arrival.
