Fritz Pollard Alliance's Rod Graves: Jacksonville Jaguars' hiring of Chris Doyle 'simply unacceptable'

The Fritz Pollard Alliance blasted the Jacksonville Jaguars and head coach Urban Meyer for hiring Chris Doyle, a former strength coach at the University of Iowa who was accused of making racist remarks and belittling and bullying players, to be the team's director of sports performance.

Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director Rod Graves released a statement on Friday that said Boyle's hiring was unacceptable and called Meyer's defense of the hire an example of the problems minority coaches face in the NFL.

"At a time when the NFL has failed to solve its problem with racial hiring practices, it is simply unacceptable to welcome Chris Doyle into the ranks of NFL coaches," Graves' statement read. "Doyle's departure from the University of Iowa reflected a tenure riddled with poor judgment and mistreatment of Black players. His conduct should be as disqualifying for the NFL as it was for University of Iowa.

"Urban Meyer's statement, 'I've known Chris for close to 20 years' reflects the good ol' boy network that is precisely the reason there is such a disparity in employment opportunities for Black coaches."

You have to figure the Jets are out if they wait until after the draft.. unless they want to take Wilson after the fact lol

i think the texans would let him sit on the bench for a year before they traded him after the draft

Agreed. It is before or during the draft. After, and they got a complete mess on their hands.

[archibaldcrane]

Rumor making the rounds on social media is the Super Bowl streaker made a wager on a prop bet that a streaker would end up on the field and when it didn’t happen by that point in the game he YOLO’ed and did it himself, ended up making $375k off the bet.

bovada (where the bets were placed by this guy) will not be honoring the bet after investigating

the guy says he’s already claimed over $200k from the bet spread across different accounts he had friends set up, but bovada is apparently investigating that as well

They make it sound like dude had been in there dead for a month by saying "officially identify his remains", like housekeeping didn't pop in for a whole month? wtf?

Well no because apparently people from the Sheriff's Office spoke to him on the 12th. So he died sometime over the weekend

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah I think he'd been dead 72 hours tops, probably less.

Panthers released 2x Pro-Bowl DT Kawann Short

Played 5 games in 2 years. He was good when he wasnt hurt, but coming off surgeries on both shoulders? Save that cap money

[Weltall]

Broncos have made it clear around the league that they are going all-in on obtaining Watson.

Also, likely that Von Miller will be traded out of Denver.

[Rhyis.]

they should. they have a good young roster with lots of cap space

and they save 18m if they move on from von miller. they absolutely should move on from him, even if it means cutting him considering his legal problems atm

[Xno Kappa]

I honestly thought Von Miller had retired years ago.
