The Lions' Pride

Well, Shavi pointed out he only "enjoys" his neighbors, so were thinking he's gone.

Agreed. And hopefully this doesn't turn into an annual end-of-season media tradition.

Exactly. This is high up on the list of problems I would like to have.

Annoying doesn't even begin to cover it. People are seeing mist coming from an ice-cold deep freezer and calling it smoke. Just a ridiculous set of threads and speculation. The guy's not going anywhere. Cynics can point to Saban, but integrity isn't hard to spot if you know what you're looking for. O'Brien has it in spades. There's no chance he leaves this year, and a better than even chance that he's here through Jan '17 at least.

Thta is funny you say that. I was in spin class today with a guy that played football at Bama. We were talking about how impressive BOB was this year and then he compared it to the years after Bryant. He said that I better get used to it because people knew Joe was going nowhere and pretty much the last 15-20 nobody would want him. He said we better get used to people knocking down the door for BOB.

He said if they aren't knocking down the door for the guy then that means he is losing and we will want people to be knocking down the door to take him!!

OB did turn down the Jacksonville job, according to some very good NFL insiders. His main reason was that he did not like Blaine Gabbert at all and the team wanted to continue on with building around Blaine (at least that was the plan initially). It was definitely more than a rumor.
