I don't think there is any doubt there's some kind of kick back thing going on with Grigson. Maybe he's been promised some position in the next organization Grigson soils, who knows, but yeah it's way over the top.

He’s a tool. More concerned with stroking his ego. Knows next to nothing about football. Keeps pushing the Grigson narrative because I think he has a hard on for Ballard. I’ll listen to him about basketball but tune him out on football. It’s fine when you need someone to be devils advocate, Dakich will say the stuff no one is Reich should be fired/Wentz sucks etc. But if you listened to him the team would be the Giants looking for a head coach every couple years. He’s mostly just pissed bc they turn down the majority of his interview requests, but when they do go on he kisses ass. If I need a bad idea I’ll go to Dakich.

One more thing, he hates the Jaguars, so he will always be up for that game.

I would actually rather bring in Minshew and have him compete with Ehlinger than roll another year with Wentz.

I wish Reich would cut out the painful "climbing the mountain" cliches.

This is a good article on the Wentz quandry:
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/sounds-...205538390.html

My favorite line:
And most of all, Wentz had a penchant for making things more complicated than they had to be in the offense, either failing to embrace the simple plays or simply choosing to force bad decisions. So much so that the Eagles' internal data on dropped interceptions placed Wentz amongst the NFL’s worst when it came to that category.

It is kind of crazy how many he got away with this year. He could have had FAR worse TO stats than he did--- but for being lucky.

Man if they go forward with him, Jim is going to have to find some creative ways to sell tix because people are fed up with trash and have far more entertainment opportunities with every passing year.

I would suggest he use "chopping wood"!

I'm sure its pretty simple. Dakich played under Knight who was a raging asshole but successful, and thus he believes that you have to be a raging asshole to be good in sports. So Dakich is an asshole, and thinks anyone who is a raging asshole must really be good at what they do, and anyone who can't stand them is probably just to weak to cut it. Hence Grigson = good, and that both the Colts and the Hoosiers will stink until some raging assholes get put back in charge.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but the most glaring thing from what I saw (other than Wentz is a total dumbass) was how wide open JT/Hines was on every play Warner reviewed. Hitting the RB out of the backfield in stride was something Rivers was great at, and led to a lot of big plays in '20. We really need to get back to more of that.

It is asinine that we didn't throw to them more. Hines was criminally underused. JT with a full head of steam is a virtual first down. I really think Wentz cost us a playoff berth.
