Not surprised at all that he's returning to the NFL. But I'm pretty surprised that it's for the same price we got Shanahan for. Shanahan 2 rings, Carroll 0

Yeah that kind of perked my ears as well. I still kind of wonder how we got Shanahan at only 7/year. Is it likely that there's more than base pay in there? Playoff bonuses? Small ownership stake? Something?

Or maybe Snyder is going to stop grossly overpaying people and start paying them what they are actually worth...naaah

At this point do you just pay the $200k and risk draft picks for future violations or do you find someone to do a token interview. I'm starting to get the feeling that while the Rooney rule worked to start with, pretty soon it's going to result in a backlash.
