This isn't Pete Carroll's first go around as an NFL head coach but it is his first off season as a NFL head coach AND executive vice president. Not only is Carroll the EVP and head coach but if there is a discrepancy between Carroll and new general manager John Schneider, Pete Carroll would win the coin flip 100 percent of the time.
According to Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke the team will be built around both Carroll and Schneider but should their be a discrepancy about a trade/signing/draft pick Carroll would be awarded his decision because the team is going to be built around Carroll's philosophy.
Now as [...]

Why do I get this sudden feeling like no one cares? Maybe its because they probably don't, and I can't say I blame them, at all.
On monday, the Chiefs released the former Pro Bowl back, who was just 75 yards short of breaking Priest Holmes team record for rushing yards. Johnson found himself in the doghouse yet again after his recent debacle with the media, where Johnson publically threw out several homosexual slurs towards head coach Todd Haley. Johnson, since joining the Chiefs, has been arrested four times, and twice been suspended by the team for his detrimental conduct.
My first thoughts are thus, why did they even put up with him for so long? Johnson had two good years(the second which many fans say Edwards "destroyed" by having Johnson run as much as he did) and other than [...]

Going into the 2009 season, among San Diego's running backs, we find a 5'6" spark plug who captured the nation's attention during last season's playoffs, a bulldozing rookie who accounted for over 3,000 yards in his collegiate career, and, of course, one of the best running backs and overall players ever to grace a football field.
San Diego leaned more towards the passing game last season, with some observers sensing a shift in Norv Turner's playcalling. However, that might have been due to the nagging injuries sustained by Tomlinson that limited his productivity.
Despite San Diego's great passing attack, a more balanced approach is definitely a proven formula for the Chargers that, if applied, should reap dividends for the team in 2009.
With this in mind, what can San [...]

After crushing (and quick) postseason exits in 2004 and 2006, the Chargers fired coach Marty Schottenheimer and replaced him with Norv Turner.
A shock for many, San Diego's sedevacante was filled with Turner despite the fact that sexier names such as Bill Cowher and Bill Parcells were available during the off-season.
Turner, who had installed the Chargers current offensive system in 2001—his lone year as San Diego's offensive coordinator—had since departed to take several jobs, most notably the head coaching position at Oakland where he went a dismal 9-23 over two seasons.
In 2007, upon taking the job in San Diego, Turner made good on fulfilling the first objective: winning in the playoffs.
Turner's first season featured two postseason wins, including an [...]
