But Nebraska head coach Scott Frost sounded pleased when he told the Huskers Radio Network on Thursday that he typically sees “15-20 vomits every day from offensive linemen” at practice under new assistant coach Donovan Raiola. “He’s coaching them hard,” Frost said. “And it’s not because they’re not in shape – he’s just working them hard.

New York Jets coach Robert Saleh isn’t a big fan of the NFL’s protective helmet shells. While he recognizes the benefits the Guardian Cap provides to his players and everyone else across the league — there’s no disputing those — Saleh thinks they might actually hurt later on in the preseason. “I think the spirit of it all is really good. It’s got great benefits … but I do think there’s a balance in everything, right?” Saleh said Saturday, . “Too much of anything is a bad thing. “I… Source link

Undrafted free agent kicker Andrew Mevis hasn’t had a great start to his NFL career. Four days into his first training camp, Mevis was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing three field goals during the team’s Thursday warm-ups, according to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco. One of those field goals reportedly missed its mark so badly that it hit former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo in the shoulder, and the other two weren’t even close to the goalposts. Campo, 75, was an assistant coach… Source link

MIAMI — Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka had to pay his dues before being given the keys to run an NBA team from the sideline. After former coach Brad Stevens decided to hang it up after eight seasons and head to the front office, the franchise had a paramount decision to make in the offseason of 2021. Could the Celtics afford to hire a first-year head coach to lead a team on the cusp of greatness? That was the million-dollar question once Udoka’s name began circulating as a potential… Source link

Darvin Ham carved out a nearly decade-long career due to being respected and loved in the locker room. After years as an assistant coach, it was only a matter of time before he moved six inches over to lead a franchise — reportedly being selected as the next caretaker for the proud Los Angeles Lakers, a franchise at a crossroads of sorts. But those who know him, and know of his reputation, believe he’s well-equipped for the job and fits an archetype for what the Lakers were looking for…. Source link
