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.

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.

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.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
