Interesting article regarding Bill Callahan, who quit the Titans after his son was fired as head coach. The man has quite the resumé; has had a ton of experience and quite a bit of success as an offensive coach, particularly with the offensive line.

Bill Callahan is a 69-year-old coach who has worked in the NFL since 1995, outside of four seasons he spent as a head coach at Nebraska. He’s been a head coach, assistant head coach, offensive line coach, tight ends coach, and offensive coordinator for several teams: Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Washington, Cleveland Browns, and Titans.

He was the Raiders’ head coach for two seasons (2002-2003), but his calling card is the offensive line.

Any interest in bringing him onboard as this year's Robert Saleh? At 69, he might like one more chance at winning a Lombardi.

I’m not sure Callahan’s fit with his own intentions, if it works the idea is to have Coaching options pipelined if someone leaves before 2026. I will say that GB has as good an opportunity to go deep playoffs as anyone. Little moves like this can sometimes be that catalyst to push us up a notch.

He was the Raiders coach the night Brett had his sensational game after Favre's father passed.

Oh, my gosh... I never put that together!!! Thanks for the reminder... that game was #52 on NFL.coms list of 100 games ever played, out of a total of roughly 16,000 games. And my eyes were glued to the screen for every single play.

I remember the camera zooming in on a headshot as he sat on the sideline, a forlorn grief-stricken expression on his his face as he looked upward at the sky. One of the announcers said, ''today and tonight, he has the game to focus on. Tomorrow, when he wakes up, it'll all start.''

When asked at halftime how his team could stop Favre his answer was " I have no idea! "

Amen. There are games and then there are GAMES. I think all of us realized as much as Favre was known as a sort of wild man “Gunslinger” whatever. He was still human and he was hurting and you could also see sense it in his Wife. Deanna took on the role of worrying enough for both of them.

There were a couple other games that were teaching moments. McCarthy had just lost his Brother unexpectedly leading up to our 2014 Seattle game. Had we won that game he had zero time to grieve. Now I’m a Packer fan first, but I still thanked God that he allowed Mike McCarthy to go home and mourn his loss.

I also grew an immense respect for Tom Coughlin and the Giants in 2011. When our OC had just lost his Son to a drowning, he seemingly promoted his players to make an effort to show their support during our Divisional in 2011. Yes we all want to Win, but there are certain situations in life that transcend even Professional Football. Being a Professional is as much understanding self control and compassion as it is competing. For as much as we seemingly hate the Giants, they have shown moments of exceptional class imo.
