We already do look more like the Browns than the Patriots.

Lol what

Who the hell picks 2 extremes like that? There’s only like 4 other teams that look closer to the Pats than Browns

You are so ridiculous

I mean Rivera won coach of the year twice. 

Only on the Huddle would they try to convince you he was a terrible hire LMAO

Again, people thinking that those awards mean something...wow.

I looked back over the list of Coach of the Year winners for the past couple of decades. You know what they had in common? Almost none of them won Super Bowls.

The one who did? A guy named Belichick. And the fact that he had only won it a few times tells you a lot about that award.

Me taking a deep look at the situation and not agreeing with the structure is not exactly what I would call being a crybaby.

Been following this team since day one. There’s been a mediocre standard for a lot of years. This process seems to mimic that.

If they make a good hire, and they put together a good front office and staff, I’ll be the happiest guy on earth. Not concerned about being right or wrong, myself. If this process works out, I’ll be the first to congratulate them for doing the right thing.

Ya coach of the year is actually the coach that wins the Super Bowl, the other is just s superficial pat on the back.

Lol, you really think going to the superbowl is an extremely low standard?  If you get your way with our coaching/GM search, we will look more like the Browns than the Patriots.  

Scot thinks a billion dollar hedge fund manager is too stupid to realize when someone is bullshiting him.

You can’t run your mouth to the media nonstop about wanting to set a winning standard, and then have Marty Hurney—fired in 2012–lead the search for your new head coach. 

Actually, if you’re a billionaire, you can do whatever you want.

Hedge fund guys and anyone with a background in analytics understands process, not just result.

I don't dare ask you for your occupation.

In case you needed help, the common denominator was the health/maturation of Cam Newton.

You can’t have it both ways.

Pretty much.

I don't have a favorite in the head coaching derby right now.  I just know I don't have a whole lot of faith in the people running the process.

You can say "hey, maybe Marty will get it right this time". Sure, and maybe Adam Sandler's next movie will be Oscar worthy. The odds are about the same.

This argument is a little bit tired. I understand what you’re trying to say, but if you look at the last five new owners in the league, their inaugural hires have been awful. 

Maybe his years w/ the Steelers will aid him in this process. But being a billionaire hedge fund manager doesn’t make you a great owner. I’m not even taking a dump on the guy. I’m just not ready to sing his praises yet.

McCarthy won a Super Bowl and you are trying to convince people he wouldn’t be a good hire 

You literally change your standards to suit whatever negative stance you want to take 

Its absolutely hilarious

Why are we acting like Rivera and Fox were bad hires?  They weren’t perfect but have y’all seen the HC fail rate league wide?  They were good until they overstayed their welcome.  Expecting every HC to be some 10 year guy isn’t reasonable, but as usual we have the same negativity warriors overreacting 

It’s funny because in a debate I got into one of them with in regard to Ron Rivera, I was told winning a Super Bowl automatically made one a good head coach. But now suddenly McCarthy isn’t a good head coach?  It’s freakin hilarious. 

Which is exactly what I was going to say. They were good hires that overstayed their welcome. We had some success with both. That's just the cold, hard truth! Most people aren't Billy B.

There's no logic with these guys

They say Ron Rivera road the coat tails of a stacked roster (and they always cite Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, Thomas Davis, Josh Norman, etc).

But then they forget who acquired these 'stacked' guys.

 

Logic and Carolina Huddle is not something that goes hand in hand.

As my brother said this morning, it seems like a list that was put together by Peter King and a bunch of message board posters.

Scot is always preaching “you are what your record says.” You can’t have it both ways.
