The same source guaranteed that Randy Shannon was going to replace Justin Wilcox as Defensive Coordinator. Dooley of course hired Sal Sunseri.

I know one of the guys who runs FeelsLike98; I even went to high school with him, and his brother is a personal friend of mine. Having said that, I wouldn't believe a word he said until a more credible journalist such as Wes or Ryan confirmed it.

My general rule of thumb: if it ain't on here, I don't believe it!

Y'all should read the twitter timeline. They are getting abused. Pretty funny.

DC: Randy Shannon

Why are people even following FeelsLike98? What they do best is fling poo at the wall and hope some of it sticks...

I love it! You are much more eloquent than I, sir. *doffs hat*

Sure, sure . . . and when I was on the Hill in the mid-eighties to early nineties, I once had a torrid affair with Kathleen Turner--and I stand by that!

Anyone else remember Jon Lovitz on SNL as the pathological liar? My wife, er, uh, Morgan Fairchild . . yeah, yeah, that's it, whom I've slept with . . . that's the ticket . . .

None of us knows for sure, of course, but I can't for the life of me believe that Dooley would have allowed the process to get that far down the trail before nixing it. The way it's done almost everywhere is that the coach hires whomever he wants, within budget, and lives or dies based on their performance: see, for e.g., Fulmer, Phillip, a la Clawson, Dave. Even where the coach is told to fire certain assistants or be fired himself, he's usually allowed to decide on the replacement himself.

IF Dooley and Shannon made it that far in their own negotiations, which is hard for me to believe (assuming there were serious negotiations between them at all), one of the two almost had to change their minds about something or other, or they would have realized far sooner that it just wasn't going to work.

They also said back in the summer that Derrick Henry was a silent commit for us.

And so the crap fest begins
