i see ya get a bit snarky when questioned, eh? in turn, let me explain, once again, as i would to a small child... when describing your "contingency plan" you wrote:



are ya with me so far?

in response i wrote that it's very difficult for teams to have all of their ducks in a row, as they would like, before they fire a head coach, because of condescending rules, and that teams fire head coaches all of the time, even mid season, without the type of "contingency plan" you insist the rams must and will have in place before they even think about sending fish packing.

since fish was hired in 2012, 22 nfl head coaches have been fired, do you believe that each and every team that fired those head coaches first identified who the replacement would be? and then identified two viable options in the event their first choice didn't work out? before they even fired their head coach? really?

good grief.

if you want to argue that the rams, like all other teams in search of a head coach, can get a jump on the process by legally and freely looking at potential college and unemployed nfl candidates during the season, before they fire their head coach, fine, but that's common knowledge. of course a large pool of quality candidates remains that can't be interviewed, decided on, before the head coach is fired. you understand that, don't you?

I do understand aeneas1. Clearly. Beyond this conversation as well.

Unlike you, I wasn't trying to be condescending. Just trying to clarify the misunderstanding.

And yes, good grief.

how was i condescending? i responded to your first post with:

thing is, nfl head coaches are fired mid season or promptly at the end of the season with no apparent contingency plans in place, nfl head coach recruitment / interview rules make it tough to put a solid contingency plan in place before letting a head coach go.

i don't find that response at all condescending, do you? then you responded, in part, with:

Its a multi billion dollar business. You just don;t wake up and say you are done! Gee, lets look at Craigslist and see who is available.

this, however, does strike me as condescending, but i responded by simply reiterating my point:

eh? teams have to abide by nfl recruitment and interview rules that make head coach replacement strategy difficult - moreover nfll coaches are fired mid season and promptly at the conclusion of the season with no apparent contingency plan in place, other than the team will look to fill the head coach position during the offseason, it happens all of time.

i started with "eh?" because you accused me of claiming that you said "they (the rams" were interviewing or recruiting illegally.", which i never did, and because of the snarky craigslist comment. you then responded, in part, with:

For the record, I simplified the above example for you.

to which i finally took exception and responded in kind.
