This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No such thing as a stable job in the NFL by Queensman

...unless of course your name is Belichick or Tomlin.

Trestman got 2 years with the Bears and he was much more experienced than Nagy. Granted Trestman was terrible, but he only got two. Fox got 3 years. They're now on their 3rd coach in 5 years. Nothing stable about that.

The Browns have gone through 5 coaches in 10 years, including a one and done in there. Jack Del Rio is one year removed from 12-4 and unemployed. Vance Joseph will be gone if he doesn't produce next year. I think Andy Reid's seat is going to get a little warm soon. That was one of the worst coached playoff games I've ever seen.

Is Kelly's job safe for 3 years? Who knows, HH wouldn't be fired as long as Kelly is there. If Kelly were fired, a replacement coach may even choose to keep him on. If stability is what he's looking for, the NFL and especially the Bears, ain't it.

I do believe he's probably getting his salary doubled which will compensate for a lack of stability. That and being able to coach more mature linemen for longer periods of time are the reasons I'd attribute to him bolting.
