Man... all that hard work...leading to a record of 5 & 19 over his final 24 games... Maybe he shouldn't have "worked" so hard...

"Work Fast" when hearing that from Bidwill means he's already zeroed in on the coach he wants & feels confident. I truly believe he knows it will be Payton & that's the reason for the smiles during the press conference.

If reports are true, then he still owed Kliff around $30 mil. 20M is a lot left over for Keim. I think he paid him in full.

He wants one of Harbaugh/Payton and has to work fast before another team snags them.

Your theory sounds good also.

He's almost 60.

So same age as Payton? Both around the team as young kids. Old pals maybe?
Or worked his players harder in Training Camp and practices.

Payton was a ball boy for the St Louis Cardinals. He mentioned the story on Cowherd show back in November. He has an affinity for the Cardinals and Kyler Murray.

Nic job with the PC. I was expecting to hear injury excuses and the hyping of in-house candidates. Gotta be honest, I was pretty skeptical he’d run it back for one more year but it was ugly enough to blow up (another benefit of tanking).
Also, Michael ditching the goatee for good was a wise decision. He looks good and healthy.

I really don't doubt he did work extreemly hard.
But you know what they say - work smarter not harder, and I don't think he had the necessary knowledge to work smarter.
I do think he is a nice guy, but I don't feel to sorry for him as he ended up getting paid quite well for his stint here.

Bidwill has just broken up with his long term girlfriend (Keim) who basically said “it’s not you it’s me”. So now he needs to do the right thing and go out and get the hottest girl on the block (Payton)

I have heard him say more negative things in the media about Kyler than positive.

No, I think the correct translation is - if I can get Payton first, screw hiring the GM, otherwise I want to hire the GM first.

Should we be looking at a head coach who is going on 60 or more? Really? With all these younger bright minds around with plenty of experience. I think 40ish is a good age to get the motivated player relating coach who can expect the necessary respect to keep the players on script and highly energized.

He indicated "players" when mentioning this... which made me chuckle as the ONLY player-leaders are Budda, Conners and the just-retired Watt. Kyler? Hump? Ertz? D-Hop? LMAO...

Only true if they don’t take another job. See my thread on fired coaches‘ salaries

Imagine having that perspective when BA was hired...lol
How about we just leave age out of it and let the best person get the job?

Ha ha! John Dutton for head coach.. Beth for GM..
I had exactly the same reaction you did. He lit up visually when Bo asked him about Payton. It was pretty obvious.
