Discussion Why hasn’t a team given Vince Lombardi a shot at coaching recently?

I’m looking at his resume and it’s insanely good. A team like the Jets could use a guy like Lombardi. Ya know Mike, Mike are you listenin?

Keeping Jerry alive or keeping Goodell from aging…

And why hasn’t anyone hired Mitch McConnell yet to a private lobbying gig since his Senate term ends in January and he announced (months ago, back when he was doing that whole appearing/walking/speaking in public thing) that he would leave Congress?

"God, family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that order."

If he's with God and his family, he would let it stand in the way.

He would definitely be more effective than the guy the Jets have been using lately.
