Around the NFL - 2011

So, the 49ers are considering settling for Josh McDaniels if Harbaugh goes elsewhere.  Am I the only one who doesn't understand at all why McDaniels would be given another opportunity to head coach this coming year?  In fact him and Singletary had a lot of the same problems - generally trying to make up for deficiencies as coaches by berating players and using the "my way or the highway" bullshtein.  farg, I'd be more likely to hire a mediocre coordinator who hadn't yet failed as a head coach than to give McDaniels another shot this soon.

Christ, the NFC West is a joke.

i think the general consensus on mcdaniels was that he's a good coach, but the broncos set him up to fail by giving him all power.  i believe the next place he goes he will be just a coach.

Saw this and chuckled this morning:

"Not only does Tony Sparano look like Bernie from 'Weekend at Bernie's' but he appears to be a dead man walking as well."

that fat loser should have been canned the second he lost to the browns and lions at home.

Apparently he IS packing his shtein up

That's a good thought. His actual coaching may have not been that bad; it was all the fargtarded trades and moves he made to make the Broncos so bad

And.... McDaniels is not interested in the 49ers

Alrighty then.

Harbaugh to the 49ers

In equally exciting coaching news, the Browns interviewed Pat Shurmur.

Ed Reed's brother missing, jumped into Mississippi River to avoid police

Brian Reed, the 29-year-old brother of Ravens safety Ed Reed, is missing after jumping into the Mississippi River to avoid police in St. Charles, Louisiana.

Deputies say they saw Brian Reed jump into the river, go under water and disappear.

"The suspect jumped into the river, went about 15 feet according to the deputy," Sgt. Dwayne LaGrange, a spokesman for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office, told WWL TV. "At some particular point they said he did witness hands and head come up and go under the water and never resurface again."

Reed had been involved in a chase and may have been driving a stolen car, police said, and the car matched the description of a vehicle that almost ran another driver off the road.

But Karen Reed, the mother of Brian and Ed, said her son was driving a family member's car.

"He was a good person," said Karen Reed. "He kind of had a little run in with drugs and stuff. He had kind of got off it. Other than that he was alright. . . . I'm hoping he's not in the water. If he is it's going to be up."

Ed Reed and the Ravens are scheduled to play against the Chiefs in Kansas City on Sunday.

Doesn't sound too promising, especially with the mom talking about him in the past tense. It would be very cool if by some miracle he did survive.

glad i parlayed the ravens with the saints this morning

[Tomahawk]

Why would it be cool if he survived? Because it's akin to The Fugitive? He's Better Off Dead. John Cusack

Tequila?

Peter King says wherever McDaniels ends up as an OC (Minnesota?), he's going to try to convince that team to trade for Tebow

[Sgt PSN]

But who is going to convince Pat Bowen to trade Tebow to the guy he just fired?
