The Bills hired Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine as their defensive coordinator. Pettine's contract with the Jets expired after the season and he declined a contract extension last month. He is expected to be replaced by current Jets defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman.

Are the Jags and Falcons just trading pieces?

We took your DC and made him our HC. You took our OC and made him your HC. We took your OC and made him our OC. You take an upper management guy and make him your GM.

Apparently Caldwell was 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman's teammate and roommate in college, so if Caldwell decides to get rid of Mularkey you'd have to think Roman would be a candidate for the job.

I'm not worried; I just think it's funny how much of both team's major hires recently have been from the other.

Rolando McClain is a serious idiot...

Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain can stop just one thing: the run. He can't stop the pass, and he can't stop himself from grinning hilariously on a perp walk, leading a mutiny against his head coach, or falling in the shit with Alabama cops. We saw a story yesterday that McClain had been taken to jail for a "window tint violation" and giving a false name to law enforcement, and we knew there had to be an only-with-Rolando-McClain backstory. And there was. Here's Seth Burkett in The Decatur Daily:

Officers arrested NFL player Rolando McClain on a charge of giving a false name to law enforcement Tuesday after he signed a citation for overly dark window tint as "(Expletive) y'all," Decatur police said.

When a patrol supervisor asked McClain to put his real name on the ticket, McClain told the sergeant, "That is my name," said police spokesman Lt. John Crouch.

Crouch said McClain, 23, who was booked into Decatur City Jail shortly after 4 p.m. on the misdemeanor and the window tint violation, could have avoided arrest simply by signing his name to the ticket.

He was released on $1,000 cash bail a short time later.

"I'm falsely accused of everything," the Oakland Raiders linebacker said before climbing into his white Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 and driving from the parking lot of City Hall. "It's corrupt. It's terrible."

The cops' story goes about how you would expect it to go: They stop McClain because his tint looks illegal, ask for license and registration, he says "You know who I am," produces a doctor's note justifying the tint, police don't care, measure the tint, say it's still illegal, hand him a ticket, he signs it the way he did, and then they haul him to jail.

McClain, for his part, says:

Asked if he believes police are out to get him, McClain said, "Yes. You said it. I answered it."

Say what you will, Dennis Allen, but the man's an Oakland Raider through and through.

what an idiot

what i don't get is, how did Saban control this lunatic for three years at Bama? Wikipedia (which is all truth! ) lists no criminal activity while at Bama yet lists four or five things after getting drafted by the Raiders... BUT before we all say, "typical Raiders players!" all of McClain's police troubles have been in his hometown in Alabama... strange

When I head he was interviewing for the position, I was really hoping we'd get to land him. I'm so glad it worked out, he's a fantastic defensive mind. Things are starting to turn around in Western New York.

And the fact that we stole him from Sexy Rexy is even better.

Rumor is that when McClain was pulled over his vehicle license plate actually contains an abbreviated version of his name.

I believe back when he was drafted the experts were comparing McClain to Ray Lewis.

Well, he is in (significantly less) trouble with the police.

I guess the comparisons were done for Ray's run in with the law.
