Just random, but Florio brought up a great point during the week about the Vikings that hadn't dawned on me.

Gary Kubiak "retiring" late so the Vikings wouldn't have a chance to interview people for a vacant OC job, to get his son's foot in the door.

Dirty stuff. Vikings should have released Klint for his old man doing that and still found a different OC, even if all the quality candidates were gone.

Nepotism in the NFL what has this world come to

I am. Surely he’s better than the alternative? On my team that would be Zach Ertz
Yeh, for me it is either Rahad Penny or David Montgomery. Both carry risk also.
 
Former Cowboys player, NFL head coach Dan Reeves passes away at 77

Published: Jan 01, 2022 at 08:47 AM


Throughout his 38-year career in the NFL as a player and coach, Dan Reeves participated in nine Super Bowls.

A hard-nosed running back with the Dallas Cowboys who would go on to be a head coach for the Denver Broncos, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons, Reeves has passed away at the age of 77.

Reeves' family released a statement to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo:

"Legendary NFL player and coach Dan Reeves passed away early this morning, peacefully and surrounded by his loving family at his home in Atlanta, GA. He passed away at age 77 due to complications from a long illness. His legacy will continue through his many friends, players and fans as well as the rest of the NFL community. Arrangements are still to be determined."

In eight seasons as a running back for the Cowboys, Reeves went to two Super Bowls and was part of Dallas' Super Bowl VI-winning team in the 1971 season – his second-to-last as a player. He would go on to become an assistant coach with the Cowboys and was part of three Super Bowl trips and one victory before moving on to a long and distinguished career as an NFL head coach.

He was twice recognized as AP NFL Coach of the Year – in 1993 with the Giants and 1998 with the Falcons – but his days along the Broncos sidelines with John Elway at quarterback likely stand as the hallmark of his career.

In 12 seasons with the Broncos from 1981-1992, Reeves piloted them to three Super Bowl appearances. He would move on to coach the Giants from 1993-1996 before taking over the Falcons' reins as head coach in 1997 until 2003.

In 23 seasons as a head coach, Reeves concluded his career with a 190-165-2 record in the regular season. He led his teams to nine postseason berths and was 11-9 in the playoffs.

A Georgia native, Reeves died three weeks shy of his 78th birthday.

He played college ball at South Carolina as a quarterback, but went undrafted before joining Tom Landry's Cowboys in 1965. Dallas went 7-7 that season, but was a winner every season thereafter during Reeves' playing career. He finished his days on the field with 1,990 yards rushing and 25 touchdowns over eight seasons – his best showing coming in 1966, when the halfback tallied a team-high 757 yards and eight touchdowns.

Around the NFL will have more shortly.

Must win game for Vikings so of course Cousins is out. What a muppet
If I am Viking I am rushing the ball 60 times and passing to Jefferson like 8 times that’s the game plan
