Even if he’s an early second round pick, he’d get more than that in guaranteed money.

Patriots and Niners having more than the Bengals wasn't exactly what I expected.

Outside of Belichick, the longest tenure was done by Chuck Fairbanks and Raymond Berry, each lasted six seasons. Nine head coaches since 1969 have lasted three seasons or fewer.

Better yet, start the season a week earlier in August. That guarantees two bye weeks during the season. The regular season wraps up the week before thanksgiving. Army/Navy is played the Saturday after thanksgiving, that way they still get a standalone time slot. Eliminate the conference title games. Start the playoff the first Saturday in December. That way, the title game could be held on New Year’s night.

Friday is the worst TV night in America, so they’d never do it on a Friday. But you’re right, if they would just move the start of the season up a week, they could play the championship game much earlier. Honestly, if they just eliminated the conference title games, they could play the title game on New Year’s night.

It depends on the fan. I honestly never had a huge issue with him leaving. I didn’t like it, but I understood it, he loved USC, and they doubled his salary in the process. I didn’t particularly like how he handled things immediately after his departure, but oh well.

There are a lot of people who still have a level of disdain for him that’s hard to describe. They view everything that happened between 2010 and 2020 as a direct consequence of his departure. I don’t. It’s not his fault that multiple ADs botched coaching searches after he left. So, I think a large part of the fan base still despises him, but it’s been 16 years, so I honestly don’t particularly care.
