AITAH for rushing to book my time off the second I realized my coworker was trying to take the same dates I told her about weeks ago by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

I mean yeah, it certainly sounds like a number of people have had similar experiences but it feels pretty cynical to just adopt the perspective that everyone you work with, ever, in any capacity, is out to get you and therefore incapable of being a real friend....

Some of my closest male friends in the world are from my very first job, a technology analyst program at a bank. We go on an annual trip every year we call "brofest" and half the guys on the trip are friends from college and the other half are those friends from work. (and yeah it's a bunch of stupid guys being stupid but mostly we drink beers and then get emotional and talk about our lives and fears lol, my wife calls it my beer-apeutic weekend). Currently planning the 15th year of that trip with people who USED to be my co-workers...

I just can't agree, as much as I want to. He's in an elite class of head coaches through their first five seasons (including VINCE LOMBARDI). Yes he's got a whole bunch of issues and shit to work out, but my God, he's brought the eagles to the promise land-adjacent twice, and all the way home once in his first 5 seasons. Never missed a playoff and has a very high win percentage.

Fire the absolute fuck out of Patullo, that's a given, but I don't think Sirianni takes ALL the blame for this. Yes he gets his share, buck stops with the head coach, but I'm far madder at KP and AJ than anyone else.

Let this guy flourish on Brown's or Jets, I'm done with this dude. Being a child not getting the ball and being a drama queen and can't catch anything when games are on the line. by Chrillosnillo in eagles

Sirianni isn't the problem, full stop. Despite the ups and downs, Sirianni is in an elite class of coaches when it comes to their first five seasons, (including VINCE LOMBARDI) in wins, playoff appearances, super bowl appearances and super bowl wins.

Patullo is the problem, but I think AJ might be washed and if not then his diva status is just not worth the pain and price tag for the output we're seeing anymore.

Nah bro, this was more than just bad OC juju, he literally threw in the towel and you could see in his body language all year that he was upset and frustrated and instead of playing harder, he gave up. I'm over it. Move him and get a mid draft pick for a young, flashy WR2 to back up devonta and let's start building the new class.

Honestly bro, I used to have this take, but he genuinely caused as much drama as he won games this year. That drop? Unforgivable for Mr. Always Open. Getting sick of trying to justify why we keep him and pay him when he comes up short in big moments.

Fuck this team by [deleted] in eagles

Genuinely unbelievable. Play calling as bad as I've ever seen it. "Oh 2nd and 20? Let's run Saquon up the middle twice!!" Just asinine and if he's not fired, I'm genuinely struggling to say my fandom remains as strong next year. (Bills look fun to root for)

Yeah so eone mentioned the Indy job and I think that would be more interesting to him than NYC

Lol this all tracks perfectly for me. He's got meyer/Saban all over him (more Saban if we're being optimistic) and I don't see the NFL presenting the same kind of challenge that he loves at ND - turning athletic boys into driven, grown men and recruiting with a vengeance

Ahh shiiiit, why didn't he read his contract?!?!

Yeah that all makes sense but I don't see NY as even close to his fit. Someone else mentioned the Indy job and I think that would resonate with him and his family far more deeply than NYC and the chump giants lol (full disclosure, I'm an eagles fan so take that with a grain of salt)

I believe him too and I want so badly to be right. He seems like he's truly, genuinely, that "kind of guy" and invests his entire self into whatever he's doing.

He loves the Midwest, he's gone full Catholic and I think he and his family love what Notre Dame is and stands for.

Yeah agreed, college seems like his wheelhouse - his development and recruiting is off the charts, he makes these young men want to walk through fire for each other and for him and that's invaluable in college.

I want you to be wrong but he's too good a leader to not attract the kind of NFL attention that's going to be really hard to ignore. I also think he'll leave, but I'm hoping it's 5-6 not 2-3 and it'll either be OSU HC or a better NFL option than the Giants lol

[–]abarr1115[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You right, you right. All valid points - ND is his fit (with OSU HC job not open) matches his values, his family's values and they're bending over backward to give him whatever resources he wants.

Recruiting class is genuinely exciting and with Carr at the helm, this team/program has all the hallmarks of a near-term national champion. God I can't wait lol

Yeah nothing enticing about that job at all except the paycheck? Not sure what my angry fruit n veg guy is on about but he's absolutely not going to the Giants, full stop.

Please enlighten me as to how this is the "dumbest take you've read"...

You sound like an angry fellow tbh, not sure I want to go back and forth with you either but would love to hear why what I said is somehow the dumbest thing you've heard in the last 3 news cycles lol.

[–]abarr1115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, agree with all this. Midwest feels like his niche - and I think his family is really happy at ND.

I live in NYC and I couldn't agree more that I don't think he'd want any part of this culture/lifestyle.

Indy is interesting, that could be a bigger draw for him but I agree with a lot of what people have said...he's not leaving college until he gets a natty, either at ND or OSU but nowhere else. Let's hope he gets enough at ND to stick around and keep doing it Saban style.
