Are you Adam Schefter?  Either you spend all your time searching tweets or you are Adam.  You've been breaking a lot of news here lately.  I greatly appreciate it, but it's making me wonder.....

Wait, I thought that we were the 'least attractive option'?

I guess Cleveland still needs some polish, and apparently Baker needs some manners training..

He's good at following tweets.

I appreciate it too.

Per Jones who was making assumptions based on the candidates having only the information that fans and media have. Which makes no sense. They are sitting with the owner and discussing the direction of the team after all

If Schefty was on any message board, it'd be Dallas or New England. ESPN barely acknowledges our existence.

ESPN reporting that Rhule is sticking it out in Baylor:

Quote

Rhule on Tuesday lamented the NFL speculation surrounding him, calling it a distraction for his players. He said he's happy at Baylor and believes the program could become a perennial College Football Playoff contender, but acknowledged that any move he makes has to be in the best interest of his family.

"One thing people don't realize is coaches we pick up our families," Rhule said. "We rip them out of their homes. We rip them out of the places that they are. Sometimes you do that until you get to a point where you find happy. You shouldn't mess with happy.

of course, that is not a "no, I won't even think of going to the NFL this year", and almost sounds like a "maybe after the bowl game"..

So one thing might keep him from join NY is Gettleman.  Gettleman is a lame duck GM and will be fired next year if they produce another losing season.  Means Rhule might get the boot as well.  Carolina will give new coach a lot of power over personal and etc which might be more attractive.

DG has slowly put that team in a position of some power moving forward.  He may be fired, but from the outside looking in, he's done exactly what he was brought in to do.  They tried to do with Eli, kinda what the Saints did with Drew a few years ago....go all in.

It backfired as it usually does, and now they are cleaning up the mess.  Have to get all of the 16 huge offseason signings off the board, get cheaper and younger at QB, and start to build up again.

We are about to go through the same thing.

That'd be a lot more believable if he had also declined the interview requests from the Giants and Panthers.

Bc hes going to the giants. We need to jump on bienemy the only candidate I like

What has he done to make you like him? Andy Reid is the one who calls the plays in KC. I’m always skeptical of bringing in a coordinator who isn’t the play caller.

We are a poo landing spot so I doubt he lands here. 

[mc52beast]

I’m thinking he might be waiting to see what happens in Dallas. If Garrett is fired that automatically becomes the most coveted job.

[Mistuh Jones]

Yeah cuz he TOTES wants to coach for Nippleshorts... this is just to drive up our price I hope LOL 

[raz]

if he's the kind of jesus freak people are saying i sure don't want him.   be whatever you want, but please don't tell me about it.   hate it about dabo.  he was thankful for the favor of god after their game.  shoulda thanked the refs

General consensus is that if Rhule takes an NFL job, it's more likely to be either the Giants or the Cowboys.

As to Gettleman, they're acquainted from when Rhule worked for the Giants before and, per Mike Garafolo, Rhule likes and respects him.

Add in that from our perspective, Rhule isn't believed to be our top target.
