Mr. Scot

Panther memorabilia with Tepper on it would actually be kind of cringeworthy. Pretty sure nobody owns any Raven stuff with pictures of Steve Bisciotti on it.

Nope. Don't even have his image as the wallpaper on my phone. Am I not allowed in the meetings anymore?

You told me he was in the room next to you! I'm starting to think you might not have been telling the truth

You think Matt Rhule saying "Dave leaves the football stuff to me and Scott" is taken out of context?

If I'm being completely honest, neither do I. Haven't really been much of a baseball fan since I was a kid playing Little League. But I figure there are a fair number of people here who do. Maybe if the Carolinas got a team, I'd be interested again.

You might have to since apparently Matt Rhule's word isn't enough.

Well, in my defense, I get my information from the people who are actually involved with the team. I realize you think watching Showtime is a better source, but I disagree.

The Charlotte area has pro football, pro basketball and soon to be pro soccer. How do you feel about pro baseball? (and the Oakland A's in particular)

Except all of the moves made this offseason have been made without David Tepper's direction. Source: Matt Rhule I get that you want to believe David Tepper is running everything, but the people who are actually involved say he's letting them do their jobs without interference. He doesn't dictate anything. He just asks questions. And despite your hero worship, that's actually the best thing he could do.

Outside of being "long term", isn't this also the common perception of Matt Rhule?

It's apparently not a universally loved decision within the Jaguars staff.

Pretty much. He'll be back for camp. Whether or not he makes it out of camp is a whole other question.

Couple of articles that have been written about him portray him as a hardass to both players and staff alike. Remember he stopped practice and jumped all over guys that were being lazy at the Senior Bowl. Edit: Found the discussion we had on it a while back (The Wrath of Rhule)

Our current head coach considers both Coughlin and Parcells to be mentors.

One of the first results that came up when I searched him. Lotta teams don't even put their scouts on the team site, so it's not easy to find stuff on em. Update: Official Announcement

Saban didn't quit midseason, did he? I know Bobby Petrino did.

On the other end of the spectrum, damn

Bio copied from last year's Washington media guide... Cole Spencer enters his 11th season with Washington and his ninth season as a college scout for the team in 2020. Spencer oversaw scouting operations in the Southeast region from 2011-18 before being promoted to the role of national scout during the 2019 offseason. Spencer originally joined Washington in 2010 and served as a scouting intern where he assisted in advance scouting and evaluation of NFL personnel. He also helped coordinate free agent workouts and college player visits. Prior to entering the NFL, Spencer worked at Eastern Illinois for a year as Football Operations and Defensive Quality Control Assistant. Spencer graduated with a degree in economics and a minor in history from Northern Illinois University where he played tight end before an injury cut his playing career short. He played for Olentangy H.S., near Columbus, Ohio, where he grew up. Spencer learned the game at a young age from his father, Tim, who is currently the running backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His brother, Evan, is a wide receiver who was selected by the Redskins in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Never held a true administrative role from what I can see (neither had the other guy we were reported to have interviewed). As mentioned, I'm wondering what this could mean for Jeff Morrow.

I was about to say Colin Jones

That was quick. And hey look, we reversed the pipeline.

Update (such as it is) from Rapoport... I don't really think he's going anywhere either, but I suppose it's possible. The interesting question for me, given that the Packers have made a "significant extension offer", is whether it's about the money. It doesn't seem to be about the money, but you know the old saying.

Heck, when I was a kid, even the draft wasn't such a huge deal (certainly not like it is now). The NFL has learned how to market everything as if you've just gotta see it! Kudos to the ladies that run the Panthers social media, though. They make everything fun

I have no idea whether he'll be good at tight end (it's certainly no secret he was awful at quarterback) but I suspect the process is at least going to be fun to watch

I mean, if I were a head coach or a GM and there were guys that I trusted or that I knew were good in my system, I'd probably do something like this. (mind you maybe not a guy who's 33 years old and changing positions...) Heaven knows there's examples both good and bad. Familiarity got us Dan Morgan and Robby Anderson. It also got both us and Washington Marty Hurney, so...
