Have we considered any minority coaches to this point?

I'm wondering if we started the coaching search early so we could satisfy the Rooney rule.

If you're not able to make a hire without first interviewing a minority candidate, do you think the early start was in part done to satisfy that requirement and "get it out of the way," so to speak? Then if they find the right candidate later, they can hire him on the spot.

McCarthy is too much Rivera for my liking. Seems like the offensive version. The whole "me and my coaching buds still talk shop on the regular" thing gives me vibes of Ron and his penchant for keeping his cronies around. If you're out of a job and still that loyal to your pals it's a red flag for me. We don't need more of that poo. Bring in someone hungry to create a staff full of guys who are great at what they do, not great at kissing the head coaches ass and telling him what he wants to hear.

get it out of the way?............you could run into some problems stating it that way on this site...................

Anyway, in meeting the Rooney rule I thought I read where installing a minority interim coach like has been with the Panthers after a firing during the season would fulfill that requirement................I don't know that for a fact.......can anyone else chime in on that?

None have been speculated so far.

I suppose they could interview Fewell, but that could be construed as just lip service to the rule.

To be fair, a lot of teams do just "get it out of the way". Heck, the team interviewed three minority GM candidates just to cover their ass before installing Hurney (like everyone knew they would).

I'd like to think things would be different under David Tepper than they were under Jerry Richardson though.

please please please please please no f*cking mccarthy

that would be out of the frying pan into the fire

he's like a version of rivera who doesn't get along with players

Yes and no

The only player that "didnt get along with him" was Rogers who is said to be hard to get along with in general.  And even then Roger's has since come out and said the McCarthy thing was overblown.

Secondly: you saw how Hurney has said the right things and sold Tepper into believing in him.  McCarthy has been on record multiple times that he needs to be more (Teppers favorite word) analytical.

This team isn't as close to competing as ownership might think. And that makes me nervous when I hear about guys like Mike McCarthy being interviewed. A coach like that wants a roster ready to win. Unless Cam magically morphs into 2015 mode, this team is going no where for a few seasons.

It is time to think outside the box and hire someone much different than the previous administration would have.

I like Stefanski. Give me someone young, hungry, but with enough experience to cut the mustard, and patient enough to understand this will take time to fix.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
