Olin made tens of millions of dollars as a player so whether it was $15/hr or $30K should not have really mattered to him. Do you want the experience and entry on your resume or not?

There are plenty of psychos stalking the sidelines of football teams so Olin's temperament wouldn't concern me. You'd have to reign him in.

None of this really matters. It was just undignified and inappropriate for George to address it the way he did. He was asked the question and could have simply answered that he disputes some of the story.

Remember, George was a TV reporter so presumably he should be the best PR person in the building.

This is football, why was it inappropriate?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

PR and reporting are (were)vastly different disciplines.

I agree that George should have handled it differently though. Pace himself said the same thing to Olin yesterday according to what Olin told Biggs.

And Olin has a history of assaulting team members going back to college.

The list of teams ready and willing to offer him a job was exactly one.

because he is an executive, speaking for an entire organization who has to consider all of the results of his words.

It's like when Kenny Williams went off on Frank Thomas. You can be correct in substance and still be wrong.

Olin ain't Frank Thomas. Olin ain't even Tom Thayer. But apparently he's somebody important enough to be brought up at the biggest Bear press conference of the year.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I thought his comments about Olin were entertaining. He appeared to show human emotion before turning the filter back on. That and discussing Nagy's son was the only time that happened.

So with all this extra attention being brought to the Olin saga because it was McCaskey's fault for answering the question asked of him, he should be rolling in job offers from teams that cant wait to have him on their staff. Olin playing 3d chess !!

You don't think he could find a job at the D1 college or higher level if he were willing to move?

He has FU money and a young family.

I'm relatively certain U of Hawaii would be thrilled to take him up if he offered his services.

If the money didn't matter to him then why not take the Bears offer?

What limits his chances is that he isn't willing to put in the grunt work that is an entry level coaching position. The way people talk about what those first jobs were it's basically working all your waking hours for little to no respect doing the jobs that no one else on the coaching staff wants to do. My guess is they all have stories like the "Brian Kelly invited me to a party to park cars" one.

No, I don’t think any college wants that cement headed, chip on his shoulder problem with management, violent loose cannon anywhere around their young players.

Did Olin ever actually say he was interested in working for the Bears? I've heard it phrased as "they came to him with a job offer", but was he sniffing around first?

I suspect Olin doesn't want to coach. He simply wants to be a consultant that offers his advice on personnel and coaching decisions.

Yeah, NFL coaching staffs are entirely composed of scholars and gentlemen!

Which is probably why I specified college.

I really doubt that last sentence. If he were hungry for a job and open to a national search, he'd find one. I would imagine he'd be very popular at Hawaii, just as one example.

He wants to be in Chicago for now and he doesn't want to work full time.

I'm surprised Loyola didn't ask. Coaching with a kid on the team is problematic but that place is filled with conflicts of interest.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Kirby Smart declared in his victory speech last night that "There's gonna be some property torn up in Indianapolis tonight!", and yet you think Olin is too much of a neanderthal for college football?

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

And Btw, there is no chance Coach Fitz wants that combustion chamber around his program on a daily basis.
