GDF is jealous that he didn't stick around BC long enough to do the same.

i'm pretty close to changing JDF's name to FHCJDF

Speaking of him, new OC for the Browns - http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/21/browns-hire-john-defilippo-as-offensive-coordinator/.

You've gotta be fuckin kidding me.

So, the QB coach for the 32nd ranked offense just got a promotion to Offensive Coordinator??? Damn... he's failing upward just like his old man. Must be genetic.

P and S - the two previous QBs JDF mentored (prior to Carr) were Terrell Pryor and Jamarcus Russell. As if Johnny Football wasn't already in such esteemed company.

This offense by the Browns is more egregious than what the Patriots are alleged to have done.

And the league has rightfully punished them by allowing them to keep their first round draft pick. Given the history that is a more severe penalty than the Patsies losing theirs.

As your new OC may be wont to say, things are never as good or as bad as they seem.

Have a feeling it won't make it thru next season.

When this happens, Baldwin will take off his head at the press conference revealing that it is GDF in the costume.

In fairness those 2 were both trainwrecks long before JDF arrived on scene.

The fuck? JDF was JRuss' first QB coach (for his first 2 season (Russell only lasted 3 years in the League)). Pryor had only one year under his belt and then spent 2 seasons with JDF (and those were the years he got some run).

Besides, how does JRuss and TPryor already being trainwrecks distinguish them in any way from Johnny Football?

I think Jamarcus set himself apart from the others by being worth tens of millions of dollars - and allowing Purple Drank to be the substance that drove him out of the league. I don't know any other multi-millionaires who gravitate towards Purple Drank, but maybe that's just me.

He doesn't look as greasy as his father in the picture attached to the ESPN article. So at least he has that going for him. How tall is he?

Boston College OC Ryan Day to Philadelphia Eagles as QB coach, per source

by **h2o** on Sat Jan 24, 2015 4:49 pm

What's the deal? Turns out Anderson left Wisconsin because the admission standards were too high.

Andersen made it clear that he wasn't blaming Wisconsin for their standards.
"That's not Wisconsin's fault," Andersen said. "That's Wisconsin's deal ... I want to surround myself with those kids I can get in school."

I meant before they even arrived in the league. No one was going to turn them into productive NFL QBs.

University Signs Slavic Languages Professor to Five Year, $52 Million Contract

In what will go down as an historic signing, the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science and the Arts hired Professor Andrej Bulgakov to a five year, $52 million contract Friday to become the head of the Slavic Languages and Literatures Department.

The landmark signing comes after a tumultuous three year span under Professor Mikhail Krylov in which the department suffered a significant decline in performance and a noticeable drop in lecture attendance. After the dismissal of Krylov at the end of the Fall semester, the University underwent a month long search for a new head of the storied department.

Bulgakov, who university sources said was at the top of their hiring list, did not become a realistic possibility until this past week, when he agreed to visit Ann Arbor to meet with school officials, Bulgakov told reporters. “It was a very big decision, and one that comes with a lot of pressure, so naturally I wanted to confer with my family before I reached a conclusion.” Professor Bulgakov, who attended the University himself decades ago, says he abides by the department’s motto, “Those who stay will be fluent.”

“I am very ready to get in and get started. I know it won’t be easy, but I’m ready to get this program headed in the right direction,” he said.

He added frankly, “Look, facts are facts. We need students to come to Michigan, and we can’t do that without a strong Slavic Language Department.”

Professor Bulgakov arrived in Ann Arbor late Sunday morning to much fanfare and excitement. Junior Becca Laing was among many ecstatic fans awaiting Bulgakov’s arrival at the airport. “It’s just so exciting to see the University finally make a good hire,” she said. “My entire time at school the department sucked, and it’s just so refreshing knowing that I’ll finally be able to enjoy my weekends studying Czech consonant phonemes the way it should be.” Ushankas, Professor Bulgakov’s signature form of fur cap, will be given away at the next basketball game.

The Raiders have been poaching the ACC for assistants... first Sal Sunseri from FSU and next is supposedly Louisville's DC Todd Grantham. This helps BC big time as Grantham... the 3rd highest paid assistant coach in all of college football... is excellent and was the reason why Louisville's D was among the best in the country. Further, Sunseri was about the only defensive coach on FSU worth a damn (btw... how has the Noles not fired their terrible DC yet?).

Not so fast... Grantham turned down a 2-year deal from the Raiders in favor of a 4-year deal to stay at Ville for $1.5mm per season. It is insane that Ville pays assistants more than BC does head coaches on money sports.

They've got pizza money. Endless mike needs to open up the vaults and share his ESB loot with the Flynn Fund.

As soon as the OSU recruiting class was signed, Stan Drayton announced he was leaving as RB coach to become the RB coach of the Bears. I few of their recruits aren't all too happy about the immediately broken assurances they received.
