Side note 

With the big emphasis on the Rooney rule

 

4 African American HC have been let go today. 

Anthony Lynn & Mike Tomlin. Ron Rivera makes three minority coaches. The Rooney Rule is going to be put to a big test in this cycle.

I think it might be more plausible that with the amount of openings there are now that Tepper didn’t want to risk missing out on his guy.

A lot of teams are going to end up with their second and third choices this year.

crazy as hell how the colts lucked out in that same situation ain't it.   crazy.   (not making fun, serious, hard to believe.)

Rons personal reputation is the only reason why he is still employed. Lets be real.

Apparently not true.

At this point, about 25% of the league is nowlooking for new head coaches.

We're one short of turning over half the league between this off-season (8) and last (7).

Marvin Lewis has finally be fired after 16 mediocre years with the Bengals. Terrible decision to keep him after being winless in the playoffs.

This is one of the many reasons Ron Rivera should be fired. He and his staff does not know how to utilize all of their players.

Yes, must utilize all backups, even when the starters are healthy, and performing!!!

Outrage!!!!

Itll be interesting, with all the Kapernick and Reid drama (no not meaning in a 100% bad way) with a lot of eyes watching now.

See if they try to bring in 4 white guys in place of them

He's been rumored to be moving to the front office.

Saw that, but apparently it's not happening. Looks like he's just being plain old fired.

Even if Tepper was considering letting go of Rivera, I wonder if the number of openings created today would give him pause.

It should. 

When everyone fires HCs. It means teams that are looking to improve are forced to reach for a HC to fill the slot.  They don't get better. 

[MillionDollarCam]

There’s certainly going to be some wtf hirings with the amount of opening there are.

norv gets his share of the blame for this year, but he is not the problem...need him back

He had a nerfed arm QB and a bad OL.  Norv doesn't get no blame.  Given what he was working with he did great. 

D the bigger problem.

Brian Flores is getting a lot of buzz, but I don't really think it's warranted. Was the Patriots defense really that great this year? Plus who out of the Belichick tree has ever succeeded anywhere else?

I think Eric Bienemy and Kris Richard are much more intriguing prospects.

Tepper didn't make his billions by making rash decisions.  I'm glad Panthers aren't looking for a new head coach when 25% of league is now looking.
