SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

The aftermath of the Super Bowl re-triggered a long standing question:

How many college FB teams going to bowls and NFL teams going to the playoffs have underperformed because of buzz regarding their HC's or coordinators being considered for jobs with other teams.

Some teams win in spite of the distractions. Some don't.

The Eagles OC did his job. The Eagles DC could have done better. Both got poached.

Arizona hiring DC Gannon is in character for the Cardinals. Sort of like the Lions hiring Matt Patricia right after he sat Malcolm Butler and Philly torched the Pats in the Super Bowl.
