This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Ah, let's play anyways by nohow
First call to Fickell obviously. He'll probably take the job under the condition that he gets to coach through the playoffs. With Freeman already on staff, JS is probably ok with this as Freeman will keep the class (mostly) intact.
Assuming it doesn't come together that easily, I'd definitely reach out to Cristobol, Stoops (both), Whittingham, Peterson, Clawson, and Kiffy-cakes. Not in that order. Oh, I'd also send a few feelers out to some NFL guys: Meyer (seriously), Gruden (hesitantly), Tomlin, Harbaugh, LaFluer, and Vrabel. Also, not in that order. I would imagine 1 of those guys may have interest.
