NFL Coach of the Year odds
| Kevin O’Connell | The Tennessee Titans are hiring Nick Holz as their new offensive coordinator, ESPN reported Friday. Holz, 39, was the Jacksonville Jaguars' passing game coordinator last season. New Titans head coach Brian Callahan is expected to call the plays for the offense in 2024. Holz would replace Tim Kelly, fired last month along with several members of former head coach Mike Vrabel's staff. Callahan's father, Bill Callahan, was named the Titans' new offensive line coach on Thursday. When Bill Callahan was the head coach at Nebraska, he gave Holz his first college coaching job as an offensive quality control coach and video intern in 2007. Holz coached with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders in various capacities from 2012-21 before becoming the offensive coordinator at UN… “I don’t know what to say, honestly,” Álvaro Morata said, saying quite a lot. He had scored the opening goal he and they had so badly needed, running to the touchline and embracing the manager who had defended him, but ultimately it wasn’t enough. “I don’t care about the goal and wouldn’t if it was two; we drew and that’s all that matters, so I’m not happy,” the striker insisted at the end of Spain’s second draw, this time against Poland. You could see the sadness, hear it too. You could feel it. The result left Spain third in Group E, “in a fine mess” according to the cover of Marca. But it was more than that, not just numbers. The selección had left to whistles and boos again. When it comes to pressure Morata ap… When picking over the Marcus Rashford renaissance, surely the feelgood story of the season, one that no football fan resents irrespective of allegiance, it is easy to linger on the biggest moments. The decisive goals for a resurgent Manchester United in the Premier League against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. The comeback strike for England at the World Cup against Iran with virtually his first touch at international level since the penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final. The two-goal salvo against Wales in the next tie, including the banging free-kick. Rashford’s managers though, for club and country, are drawn to something else, a lower-profile flicker but one that captures his essence – the drive and clarity that has underpinne… Manchester United’s late 1-0 win over Fulham in last Friday’s season opener showed concerning similarities with last year’s travails. Better were the crisp phases of passing and intelligent movement during the first half, but then came a falling away of shape, of dismal finishing – Bruno Fernandes being a chief culprit – and the reliance, again, on a moment rather than in-game domination to claim victory: the substitute Joshua Zirkzee’s deft 87th-minute strike finally beating Bernd Leno. For the young Dutchman a dream start after his £35.8m transfer from Bologna. For his compatriot Erik ten Hag, the contemplation of more unwanted forward line profligacy, summed up by a pithy post-match demand that his charges “kill in the box�… I guess if you’re the San Francisco 49ers and you’re set at most positions, you can afford to take a kicker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The team selected Michigan’s Jake Moody, who owns the Wolverine, 99th overall. While this isn’t Sebastian Janikowski being drafted 17th overall by the Raiders in 2000, there’s a good chance Moody, the 2021 Lou Groza Award winner, would have still been on board later in the Draft. However, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team had to make the move when it did. “…[W]hen you look at the history, the majority of kickers go in the fourth round. We didn’t have a fourth-round pick,” he said. “The guy was not going to be there in the fifth round.” Since 2000, only 49 kickers, including Moody, have even been draf… Here’s Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi at this weekend’s Diamond League event in London. He, uh, missed a spot. Tamberi’s been wearing half a beard for some time now, and since this undoubtedly infuriates many of you, here he is being a complete failure. (He finished in second place.)

Will the team, which is owned by the Tribune, be able to afford Jake Peavy? Will a reputable buyer ever come forward? Will they have to take a bus to all away games? Surprisingly, the answers to these questions appear to be yes, probably and no. Tribune Co. is looking into possible bankruptcy-court protection, according to the Wall Street Journal, to try and come to grips with the nearly $13 billion of debt it has incurred since owner Sam Zell brought the company public last year.
