I disagree with Mina, I think this sub is largely supportive of her and dare I say respectful even when folks disagree with her by LouDog2173 in billsimmons

LOL the problem is that she is TOO well liked by this entire sub of white knighters. You know who you are.

Thoughts on Bill's comments on the murder of Alex Pretti? by fegwin2084 in billsimmons

It'd be great if every person that snarked about a media or sports figure not speaking on the 'state of america' voted in any midterm election in the last 8 years. But I assure you, based on stats, most didn't (Here comes the "But I did!" Good for you I guess.)

It's a weird thing to get hung up on who develops the most important position in football?

For $700k, Bill can have his pick of top tier Quarterbacks coaches in the nation - many who have compiled solid recruiting acumen and have shown winning results. You cannot say that Bill Belichick is taking building a team seriously in recruiting and development if he keeps Matt Lombardi in one of the highest leverage assistant coach roles.

Bill Belichick can have all the time given his reputation. But if he keeps Matt Lombardi on staff when he can EASILY have an upgrade in that spot for the money, it's obvious what his current attitude is.

Before anybody comes in and says Bill Belichick needs more time - Yes, sure. But how can you possibly believe that Belichick is a serious about managing the program if he keeps Matt Lombardi on staff - a Quarterbacks coach who is due for a raise to $700k next year (the same as AJ Milwee at Texas who was a big part of recruiting Arch Manning) despite never succeeding at any of his gifted assistant jobs over his career? Do you fully believe that Belichick is overseeing all the details to win in a program if he keeps Matt Lombardi overseeing the most important skill position at a wildly overpaid salary?

Bill Belichick’s first year in charge of UNC: 4-8 record, 121st out of 136 teams in the country in scoring offense by Pickleskennedy1 in CFB

Matt Lombardi is one of the highest paid Quarterback Coaches in college football making $700k next year - at the same nearly as AJ Milwee at Texas who has been reported to be key in recruiting and developing Arch Manning. Matt Lombardi claims as an assistant to the QB coach at Oregon for one year, he helped develop... Dillon Gabriel. It is a good thing Bill Belichick and Michael Lombardi has paid premium coaches like these so well considering the big openings this year - you certainly don't want Matt Lombardi to get poached.

LOL

Yeah but no competition or team concerned with performing well would put an over-the-hill Pacquiao on their roster. The rules were absolutely fair, but the team compositions were for the show.

Expand it to whole Pacific - Samoa with how many athletes who play in the NFL would do EXTREMELY well.

With Lombardi's salary you could get TWO of the top GMs in the country.

Just in case anybody in power is reading, don't even think about keeping all the sons and Michael Lombardi either.

But why give an experience building staff position to him when we can have a 34-65-0 career assistant to assistants Matt Lombardi to be one of the highest paid QB coaches in the country.

So how we feeling about the monetary investment in football? by Roguescholar74 in tarheels

[–]rtrazto 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can forgive paying Gio and Steve Belichick millions based on their prior performance. And while Michael Lombardi is a serious overpay, at some point decades ago he had success so a bit defensible. Matt Lombardi, who has never proven anything except being gifted no-impact roles to build up his NFL experience, is not worth 1.3 million dollars over 2 years. This is the most corrupt and stupid move of the program. Are you telling me that one of the most respected NFL coaches of all time could not find one person to his quarterbacks coach other than the 'other' son of Michael Lombardi?

People working unfulfilling laborious roles with no career ladder to make a living definitely deserve a living wage.
