Keeping the job

   Keeping a job as a NFL owner or coach is very hard. Sometimes your team may go into a slump, even though last year you won a super bowl, and your job may be on the line next season as manager.  Its confusing sometimes. Some teams like change, and think its good, while others are scared of change, and some just have to.
   Maybe you took your team to the playoffs 14-2, lost in the second round, Well the teams that are not fond of change will almost 100% keep you there. Lets say you are 8-8 as a coach and dont make the playoffs. The teams that like change are gonna have a 50/50 maybe 60/40 chance of finding a new coach. Finally, lets say your team is 2-14. Thats the part where you just have to.

Postseason drama. Part 1

I'm finally back to posting, its been a while since i had my last post. So now I will tell you what I know and learned about the Drama of offseason. Okay so most of you most likely like football if you chose to read this, so you probably know about these "stresses" of keep franchise players. For college football fans, relate it to a Senior who was just great in his final year now going to draft because he has to. Well sometimes in the NFL, your contract expires, you get to old, your skills are lost, or you just simply cant get paid anymore. So what happens, you get cut. And these coaches have to go through hours and hours of paperwork, and its stressfull. I hope you have learned something. I will talk more about this next time
