Pete Caroll not running the ball with Marshawn Lynch. Lynch would of been a lock for hall of fame possibly.
This has to be one of biggest ones. It'd give the seahawks two, another loss to brady, and the LOB never would have broken up. They were so pissed he pulled that shyt that everybody lost faith


I'd say it's a GREAT career "mistake"... Spygate. If not for Spygate, do the Patriots even win the first SB? Do old players take less to play with genius Bill Belichik if he never won the first one. Is brady ever worth a damn? What if the NFL actually took away wins and tarnished them? Boy did they luck out with blatantly cheating to start off one of the greatest dynasties in sports



And damn that exercise bike. If the NBA didn't force the Sixers to fire Hinke, not only would we not have Fultz, but we also would have another first that we traded to boston for him as well. That's in addition to whoever we got that year, cause surely it wouldn't be him

NFL let Belichik live, because they don't want to find out just how long he was doing shyt like that.

Le'Veon Bell is going to be the king of this thread. Dude went from being an elite back for an elite franchise to being a 30 year old free agent who has squandered his HOF career.

And did it for the exact same amount of money. With the lost year plus his new contract with the jets. It was pretty much the same amount as the Steelers offered.

Coli.
not a player, but Charlie Strong shouldve never left Louisville for Texas. I get that you dont turn down Texas but those boosters never liked him or the fact that he was married to a white woman :mjpls:. IN Louisville he had built up a nice pipeline of players from South Florida (its possible Lamar winds up there anyway without Bobby Petrino recruiting him) and expectations were a lot lower. And he wouldve stuck around long enough to possible get hired at Florida which was his dream job. Now hes at Central Arkansas and will probably never get a chance at a big school again :to:
you know charlie strong is working for the jags in the NFL? his boy put him on :mjtf: and not only is he working for the jags he is the fukking assistant head coach

Might not be a popular opinion, but I felt & still feel like the coach who left Florida Gulf Coast for USC basketball was a dummy move
How? :ohhh:

Goto to USC get paid. If it don’t work out, go back to Florida Gulf coast with a bigger bank account.

Or you thinking he was going to win a chip at FGC?

Greg Schiano had a little success at Rutgers and got gassed. Hard to turn down bigger opportunities, but he bolted to the NFL too quickly.

The dummy move was when he pulled Pop Warner bullshyt in the NFL, and got branded as a Circus Clown






Team failed, and the organization literally said "fukk you, and the horse that you rode in on"
Fired him, and the GM who brought him in.
