    FOX NFL SUNDAY NOTES - 1/3/10 Glazer Reports on Coaching Situations in Buffalo, Jacksonville, Washington, Cleveland & KC Bradshaw: Polian Will Regret Not Trying to Go Undefeated and Make History Strahan: All the Pressure is on the Cowboys ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the final week of the regular season, NFL Insider Jay Glazer reports on the latest news on coaching candidates and openings around the league: WASHINGTON REDSKINS BACKUP PLAN : “We all know that Jim Zorn will be fired as the Redskins head coach probably in the next 24-48 hours. But what you don’t know is that GM Bruce Allen has been calling around the league for contingency candidates just in case Mike Shanahan decides to take the money and run somewhere else.” BUFFALO BILLS GAME PLAN : “The Bills have already talked to Bill Cowher. They are hoping that he jumps up there because the options for Cowher are limited. They are going to interview Perry Fewell tomorrow and then they have a really aggressive game plan to fly around the country to interview guys like Sean McDermott from the Eagles and Leslie Frazier from the Vikings. They plan to be aggressive if they can’t get Cowher.” COWHER’S COACHING OPTIONS : “People don’t realize how strong the Kansas City Chiefs pushed for Cowher last year and at times they thought they would get him but at pretty much the 11th hour he said he needed one more year. He wants to coach this coming year. We’ve heard that Tampa Bay has interest but if they go out and hire Cowher, they have to pay him, Raheem Morris, and they have to pay Gruden.” MANGINI’S FUTURE IN CLEVELAND : “New Brown’s president Mike Holmgren is going to Cleveland tomorrow and is expected to meet with Eric Mangini on Tuesday and unless Mangini can sway Holmgren during that meeting, right now the plan is to fire him.” POSSIBLE JACKSONVILLE SALE PUTS DEL RIO’S FUTURE UP IN THE AIR : “Jack Del Rio has not been given any indication by the owner that he will be out.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

  • John Fox Fires Back at Jim Irsay Over Peyton Manning Bashing
    John Fox fires back at Jim Irsay over Peyton Manning bashing By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 Broncos coach John Fox. Broncos coach John Fox fired back at Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday in defense of Peyton Manning. Irsay earlier implied in an interview with USA Today that he wanted to move on from Manning’s “star wars” stats and start winning more Super Bowls. Fox, on his weekly appearance on NFL Sirius radio on Tuesday with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan, was asked about Irsay’s comments. “I saw the comments. And to be honest with you, I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot,” Fox said. “To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. “Peyton would never say anything. He’s too classy to do that. They sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me. For a guy who has set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won four MVP awards… be thankful of that one Super Bowl ring, because a lot of people don’t have one.” Irsay, among other quotes, said in reference to Manning’s time with the Colts: “(Tom) Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these,” Irsay said. “Pittsburgh had two, the Giants had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated.” Here’s a link to Fox’s radio interview. Broncos promote Tavarres King to 53- man roster, waive Adrian Robinson By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 When the Green Bay Packers tried to sign away rookie receiver Tavarres King, the Broncos' front office countered with its own play.
