Here's an odd bit.

Apparently, nobody could have interviewed McDaniels today anyway.

 

Good move Belichick

Maybe Rhule can buck the trend, but college coaches (greenhorns) have had a rough time making the leap.  I think the last two with great success were Bill Walsh and Jimmy Johnson...so we are talking 1980' and mid-90's.  I know Pete Carroll, but he went from pro-to-college and then back to pro.  

Not a top guy for me for that very reason.  I don't dislike the guy, I just think it's going to be tougher turning around a NFL franchise than a couple college programs.

Would be hilarious if the Browns hire their guy before Friday’s meeting with McDaniels. Karma is a bitch.

That quote doesn’t look good now and it’s not a big deal.  His job is to take a team with problems all over the place and turn it into a winning one.  That’s why he is here.

[Mr. Scot]

So to summarize our search, we had six candidates but only spoke to half of them since we hired the third one.

The first one we interviewed got hired by somebody else, but we didn't seem to want him that badly anyway.

Josh McDaniels, Kevin Stefanski and Perry Fewell got left at the altar, though Perry Fewell is acquainted with Rhule from his time with the Giants and could at least potentially keep him on as DB Coach (Chase Blackburn might have a shot too).

Oddly, while it was reported that McDaniels would be interviewed today, it's since been reported that McDaniels wouldn't have been available today because he still had exit interviews to do with the Patriots.

We went into today hearing reports from all over that McDaniels was the favorite. Turns out he was one of two favorites and the other got his interview first.

All in all, a pretty wild day in Panther fandom.

Todd Bowles was a Big fan of Kyle Allen 

Josh McDaniels was a BIG fan of The Golden Calf of Bristol

Comment from Rivera...

That's arguably even more important for Rhule than it would have been for Rivera.

lmaoooo

 

I'm dying right now reading all this NYG salt. For some fun search CTRL+F search Gettleman, and read the comments. It's so funny.

I absolutely love the small minority defending Gettleman still.

Looks like we just added to the fan base as well.

 

Just to show how much people like this guy.

I love bumping all these threads, just dripping with Huddle gold. Theres about 50 Cam/Tepper/Rhule threads with nuggets in there.
