Coaching Interviews This Week

[Mr. Scot]

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.

[Mr. Scot]

"So Josh, what would you like?"

[Snake]

So with McCarthy off the table McDaniels position seems to be even stronger.

Interesting take...

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?

Dont see Tepper rushing it or falling in love with one coach.  He will have his order of preference but if his tops choice gets picked he will just move on to the next one.
