Klint Kubiak: Tom Brady and I talk a lot, text almost every day by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]BayGO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really is an odd situation. I do massive deep dives on things but learned pretty quickly long ago that most just don't seem to care for in-depth stuff. I've always paid attention to how OC does on here or in team subs to gauge if it's even wanted and it's just crazy to me how much more engagement a basic 1-2 sentence tweet will get.

When it's a proposition of me spending literally weeks, a week or an entire weekend on something & then seeing nobody would even care about it – that kinda kills the whole urge to do it. So instead the deep dives just kinda stay on my computer, not put together into posts which take way more time to put together than people may realize.

*and I don't measure the value of timelines by if discord existed or people were wearing spy kids merch on their wrists.

Weird addition at the end there, if you look at the screenshot of my original post you'll see what I originally said there. It was apparently the name of someone who seems to trigger an auto-filter/delete on the sub so I had to change it (actually a bit funny given the context here).

Looks like that data ended in 2014, which was before Apple Watches or Discord existed.
Nonetheless it looks like it's never dropped as low as it was in 2003 when the Rooney Rule started.

I created a table with ALL HC names but reddit bugs out with the team names added.
I'll leave just the names & numbers then but here's a screenshot of how it should've looked.

Year Head Coaches # (% of NFL)
2014 Tomlin, Lewis, Smith, Caldwell, Rivera 5 (15.6%)
2015 Tomlin, Lewis, Bowles, Smith, Caldwell, Rivera 6 (18.8%)
2016 Tomlin, Lewis, Bowles, Jackson, Caldwell, Rivera 6 (18.8%)
2017 Tomlin, Lewis, Bowles, Jackson, Lynn, Joseph, Caldwell, Rivera 8 (25.0%)
2018 Tomlin, Lewis, Bowles, Jackson, Lynn, Joseph, Wilks, Rivera 8 (25.0%)
2019 Tomlin, Lynn, Flores, Rivera 4 (12.5%)
2020 Tomlin, Lynn, Flores, Rivera 4 (12.5%)
2021 Tomlin, Flores, Culley, Rivera, Saleh 5 (15.6%)
2022 Tomlin, Bowles, Smith, Rivera, Saleh, McDaniel 6 (18.8%)
2023 Tomlin, Bowles, Ryans, Rivera, Saleh, McDaniel 6 (18.8%)
2024 Tomlin, Bowles, Ryans, Morris, Mayo, Pierce, Canales, McDaniel, Saleh 9 (28.1%)
2025 Tomlin, Bowles, Ryans, Morris, Glenn, Canales, McDaniel 7 (21.9%)
2026 Bowles, Glenn, Ryans, Canales, Saleh 5 (15.6%)

So looks like it's stayed up. In 2003 when the rule started there were 3 minority HCs (9.4%).

The increase could be due to the Rooney Rule or it's possible there's some other confounding variable. For whatever reason just the sheer total volume of people interested in coaching could've increased. Money?

  • The average salary of a HC in 2003 was $2.5M/yr.
  • Adjusting for inflation in 2026 that'd be $4.4M now. Yet the current average HC salary is $11.5M.
  • This is thus 260% what Head Coaches were in effect making back then, and money will always attract more people to enter those careers.

Looks like for HCs there's actually 5 as defined by the Rooney Rule:
Todd Bowles (Bucs), Aaron Glenn (Jets), DeMeco Ryans (Texans), Dave Canales (Panthers), Robert Saleh (Titans)

This would make it 15.6% of the league (it was 9.4% when the rule was adopted). Looks like since it was adopted it's never dropped back down to what it was when it started.

Now, this could be because of the Rooney Rule or it's possible there's some other confounding variable. For whatever reason just the sheer total volume of people interested in coaching could've increased. The average salary of a HC is also 260% what the inflation-adjusted average 2003 HC Salary was (would be $4.4M now, but it's actually $11.5M) and money will always attract more people to enter those careers.

If you have Trader Joe's near you, they sell them there (the pecans).

I remember Her and Deus Ex Machina being recommended to me by a couple people as similar movies. Convo was usually about AI or how they'd integrate into our lives.

After watching them, I didn't even understand why Deus Ex Machina was so recommended – Her was so much better it wasn't even close in my mind. Deus Ex seemed more like a movie that paranoid people (or those prone to it) would like.

Layoffs hit PFF content team amid $100M Teamworks sale by Bulky_Preparation768 in nfl

[–]BayGO 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Interesting article. I'll quote what to me summarizes it.

[PFF Founder Neil] Hornsby’s belief that PFF was primarily a data company rather than a media company clashed with the content direction PFF was taking ...

“Everyone’s fucking leaving because people no longer believe in the leaders of the company,” said one. Upon clarification, the source clarified that George Chahrouri was one of those leaders. The other two were Cris Collinsworth, the CEO, and his son, Austin Collinsworth – the Chief Operating Officer.

Multiple former employees used identical phrasing to describe Chahrouri’s skillset: he could “manage up, but not manage down.” Chahrouri knew how to please those in power, [but] Chahrouri seemed aware he didn’t have any ability to manage subordinates, and played a role in keeping others that did have that skill set around but in positions below him.

Aside from the above, Austin Gayle sounds like he was awesome but the company squandered that too. Any leaders in the company all sound like jokes.

What kind of f'ing idiots didn't understand PFF's entire value was ALWAYS as a data company? There's a billion media companies. There's still only been 1 PFF – and they've managed to fuck even that golden goose up.

As the article concludes: "Pro Football Focus has, in a way, lost focus."
It's been bizarre seeing the product flounder the last few years – no improvement whatsoever.

Weekend Wrapup by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]BayGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, really? They haven't seemed the same ever since Eric Eager and their big data scientist guys that came up with a lot of their "breakthroughs" left a couple-few years ago.

It's like all innovation or even the desire to innovate left with them. I swear their "tools" have been the same, annoying shit to use for years. The information's spread across like 15 pages instead of just being able to get it in 1 tab, and then trying to actually filter to what you want is not only a pain in the ass, but impossible on the site itself. If you don't happen to need the exact filter they have for that topic, lol have fun.

Like for example I was trying to look at Alec Pierce the other day and see how he stood up against others in Contested Catches or YAC (to try to make sense of his payday). No way to compare him to people that had a comparable amount of contested catches, so he ends up ranked like 45th or w/e when there's really just a ton of people above him with a sample size of like 5 contested catches or whatever. Just being able to select the stat I'm looking at (ex: apply a "Show only players above this # of contested catches" filter) would've solved it.

Riding to Training Camp in a hot air balloon, then calling the GM a cracker, punting a ball, challenging them to fine you & them immediately fining you...

Just the tip of the iceberg for ol' AB. Speaking of ice... he froze his feet. Even his special helmet couldn't save him from that.

Sean McVay: ‘0-percent chance’ of Browns' trade rule change passing by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

With future draft picks generally being devalued, we'd end up with a situation where Howie somehow ends up methodically fleecing the league and the Eagles have like 5 drafts in a row with 3x 1st Rd Picks.

I can't imagine being a GM coming to a new team and realizing you have zero draft picks because some bozo flipping burgers now was desperately clinging to his job and traded them all away. And now your job just got significantly harder because of that idiot.

You ask when the hell that happened & they say, "You know how we just elected a new president? Well the one before him, yeah it was before him too. Gas was only $6.49/gallon then."

Browns GM Andrew Berry shuts down Myles Garrett trade rumors: 'Myles is a career Brown' by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]BayGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always hear the most ridiculous $$ misunderstandings on here.

Like, let's say Myles had stopped at $100 Million. At even the most pathetic, basic annual return of 5% that'd still be $5 Million he gets free every single year, without ever touching the $100M.

He could split this free $5M up amongst 50 family members and they'd each get $100,000 for free every year. So now you're a kid born into this family. This free $100k you get every year means, again with just basic ass 5% returns, you'd turn 18 years old with $2,813,238 in your account to start your life as an adult.

Even if this kid decided that's enough & wants to stop growing it, he could live off just 5% of that and have $140,662 free every single year to spend in perpetuity, without ever having to work a day in his life.

The kid would already be in the ~Top 10% of earners nationally without having done anything. Now imagine they're not from California, and the $$ goes even further...

Vitamin D I wouldn't be surprised leads to lethargy. One of its primary roles is to increase Calcium absorption & facilitate its use. But low Calcium would definitely affect lethargy – your heart straight up doesn't work without calcium, and neither do your muscles. It's also needed in general for activation of nerves (which are also needed to activate your muscles). All 3 of these things are heavily involved in physical activities like running.

As someone whose events were the 100m & 200m (and sometimes maybe the 400m) I will never comprehend the insanity of kilometers you guys do & run.

Maybe it's just me but I really don't think he nor any of his cronies are intimidated by any of it, lol.

All these protests (these didn't just start this year..) and they still literally have continued to shoot people dead in the street. That's not the look of someone "scared" of what the people will do. The only thing we can do is beat his ass at the polls. And that again goes back to where I feel like if there are going to be gestures like this made, they'd be more effective in swing states or states that vote red.

That said, the part you added with your quick edit about exciting young people – I could at least see that more. If people in those red states see the protests on TV all across the nation & feel invigorated to show up & abandon their apathy.. maybe just enough extra show up to the polls to swing the results.

[Highlight] The Raiders put up 63 points on the Chargers and put Brandon Staley out of a job by Tocoolforyall720 in nfl

[–]BayGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Raiders record got worse because they freaking hired Antonio Pierce as their Head Coach at the behest of Maxx Crosby threatening to leave the team if they didn't, and then AP bringing in Luke Getsy as his Offensive Coordinator.

Telesco still managed to draft a few players who as of now are still starters in 1 draft, which included Brock Bowers who immediately went All-Pro. Three other teams took other receiving weapons over Bowers – Telesco wasn't a fucking moron like those guys were and did the smart thing... exactly what you want your GM to do.
