I've said before I don't think Flores is going anywhere. He has issues and owners bye & large don't like issues.

yea i just read a piece where Flores said it have to be the right fit!!!!

and apparently the Jets aint one of them!!!!!!

[LPS]

I can't imagine anyone wanting the Jets job.  They are screwed up from owners on down the tree.

KO'C on the guy who has had 2 interviews with Seattle for their OC job.......................................O’Connell said about the up-and-coming coach months back via Star Tribune, “He’s got such an unbelievable understanding, from his background on offense and defense, and his sheer football stamina is something I really admire. I joke with him all the time, ‘Nobody loves football like you, man.’ His mind never really wanders from it.

I think you need to live & breath football 24 / 7/ 365 to make it in the NFL. That said if you do make it and you don't burn out it seems you can stay around as long as you like providing you don't mind moving from city to city. The money is good but your personal life would take a pounding I would think.

It would be very intense at times.

College football is like that too - and apart from the biggest schools, the pay isn't as good and you have to move more.

Just seen on the news KOC got a contract extension!

[mike89]

[LPS]

Good news.

[glenn57]

the stuff i read/heard it sounds like KOC may have more to say with team, players, etc and there may be somewhat of a riff between the GM and KOC! 

also read if Flores stays, and all the pending FA, Flores is going to be a big part of who the resign/ cut loose and go after in free agents!

[LPS]

Sounds like the right direction to me.

Yeah, its hard to know the source or validity of stress between KO'C and KA-M.  Those two have shown themselves to be nothing but professionals this whole time, and if there is any disagreement between them, you have to believe they've kept it to themselves behind closed doors.  Basically, I'm not going to believe it until the Wilfs announce some sort of change.  It doesn't mean it isn't real, but I'm not signing on to the early speculation.

As for Flores...  Heck yeah!!!  If I was KO'C and KA-M, I'd want Flores to be a big part of the decision process for who they sign and cut on defense.  They guy has shown he knows what he's talking about.
