Matt Rhule is today.

Josh McDaniels is still Friday for the moment but that could change. Word was the Browns and Giants were both trying to move their interview dates up. No shock if we are also.

Pretty sure every team with an opening has interviewed Eric Bieniemy (except Dallas, who interviewed Marvin Lewis) so the Rooney Rule is satisfied in all cases.

Related: The Browns are interviewing Brian Daboll today. The Giants will have Rhule in tomorrow.

Panthers waiting on McDaniels until Friday as a formality?

Unknown.

When he was still in the playoffs, all his head coaching interviews were scheduled for Friday. Now, teams are scrambling to move them earlier. It's been confirmed for everyone but us.

One difference: When coaches are in the playoffs, you generally have to go to them because they're busy. If they're out, you can bring them to you.

What is the likelihood that playoff results cause us to jump the gun?  It's my understanding that we can't hire someone who's season isn't over (possibly incorrect).

Say, hire McDaniels before we get a chance to hire Bieniemy?

My understanding is you can interview but can't finalize a hire.

Will we rush? Don't know. We moved early on firing Rivera so it's possible.

If you need reason to worry about McDaniels, read this article from a decade ago:

https://www.espn.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/12461/mcdaniels-legacy-is-The Golden Calf of Bristol

Now, it could be said that McDaniels was trying to earn respect at the age of 34, showing the world that he is not to be run over.  But he shipped off Cutler after a few weeks (in article) and went after The Golden Calf of Bristol.

In fairness, he beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs with that same The Golden Calf of Bristol--but what could others see that he could not?

hurney drafted pickles a decade ago and it sure didn't stop us from keeping him around.

point being: this indictment on mcdaniels has no bearing on him now. he's been among the hottest potential coaching candidates for the past few years for a reason.

I always thought the job was Stefanski's. Tepper was known to hire Ivy League guys a Appaloosa. Stefanski played DB at Penn and I've read many commentaries speaking of his intelligence and love of the game. For the record, I think it is between Stefanski and McDaniels and it may come down to interviews. NY Giants will have the upper hand on Rhule. Bieniemy doesn't seem to be getting much traction elsewhere, so I assume he'll be the Browns' choice. I wouldn't be surprised to see McDaniels back again under the promise that he's the next coach in New England. All this is just a hunch, but I can see it play out.

I see what you are saying and hope that you are proven to be right if he comes here---but when you read about the Denver episode, it is all the evidence we have of McDaniels when given some authority.  Did the tiger change his stripes?

And I would hardly call the article "an indictment" unless that is how you read it.  If you do, then how could his past actions not cause some concern?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
