The Sport Diehards

It's true Jim Harbaugh improves every team he coaches from where they were before he arrived. But, it's also true that there is a ceiling to that success that keeps him from winning at the highest level. Why? The Sport Diehards will provide you with the answer to that. Jon Gruden rumors have resurfaced as far as his potential return to the NFL coaching ranks and with the Los Angeles Rams. Is there anything to it or is this just another year of hearing rumors about a former NFL head coach that is seemingly very comfortable with being the best football analyst in the country? The Sport Diehards will have that answer for you as well. We'll go around the NFL and parse the storylines that came out of week 12 including Sean Payton exacting revenge on his former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, over BountyGate and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scoring an upset on the Seattle Seahawks to suddenly climb to 6-5 on the season. What are their chances to make the playoffs? The Sport Diehards will examine that. We'll react to the Texas Longhorns hiring Tom Herman away from the University of Houston and how in Austin the inmates are running the asylum much like promoters run boxing. From a local standpoint, UCLA football is heading into a key offseason after a bitterly disappointing season while USC football is finishing with a flourish and has a bright future in front of it. Why Los Angeles college football fans shouldn't be surprised by this at all. The holidays are here. We are delivering to you the gift of honest and strongly opinionated sports talk. Happy holidays, sport diehards.
