Tepper wanted McDaniels, but then got wind he wasn't all-in

I've been trying to get the scoop on why Josh McDaniels fell from Tepper's pedestal so fast, and this is the only info I could find.

Like, when a man goes to a table of women at a club and asks a woman to dance and gets rejected, and then gets rejected again by another woman in that same group, Tepper didn't want him because he didn't pick the Panthers first.

 "'What I've been told is Josh McDaniels was David Tepper's No. 1 head coaching choice hands down for the Carolina Panthers. The Carolina Panthers were not Josh McDaniels' No. 1 choice. They weren't even his No. 2 choice,' Fallon said on her podcast, The Courtney Fallon Experience. 'Cleveland was his No. 1 choice.'"

So we may not know whether the "[Fug] off" comment ever took place, but we do know that it probably wasn't what either really wanted due to McDaniels waffling---well, not really waffling, but not making us his priority. What we do know is---if nothing but in his mind---Tepper said, "fug that!"

FYI this passes the smell test of coming from McDanels’ camp. Fact is if Rhule wasn’t our top candidate after his interview and didn’t sell Tepper on him being he only choice, McDaniels would have at least interviewed with us. We didn’t even interview him ultimately. I don’t see why people are hung up on him still. Rhule is our guy, and rightfully so.

Interesting, but I must say your example about being rejected is not something I am familiar with---I never made it to the second rejection because the entire table started laughing during the first one...Sad, but look who's laughing now.  Sniff. 

I am not sure if Rhule had Carolina #1, before the visit, but based on his description of the visit, that changed.  He has familiarity with North Carolina (WCU), and his family (son specifically) seemed disappointed when Rhule told him that they were not going to Carolina (had not been offered the job yet). 

Here is the interesting part to me:  McDaniels has a history of having conflicts with people--he is an X and O guy.  Pretty much known as an A hole.  Rhule is not an X and O guy--he leaves that to his coordinators--he is a people person.  He builds relationships through a shared vision.  Without a leader like that,  all of the Xs and Os in the world won't save you.  You need a motivator, man you would die for.  In other words, these men are polar opposites.  Maybe Tepper just did not know what he wanted until he met Rhule.

Josh McDaniels has been passed up for many decent jobs that are open, want to know why? ask the Colts. McDaniels agent quit after McDaniels backed out.  There is nothing you can say again and be tanken for 100% after what he did to the Colts. I imagine many NFL owners didnt forget that. 

Browns may sign him just because they arent getting much interest because they fire people too fast. So it may be a match made there.

LOL at people who thought the Browns was a more attractive job than Carolina, any halfway decent Head Coach is gonna see the 12 head coaches in 20 years and say nope! thats an average of 1.6 years, pretty much you're expected to be fired Mid second season. lol

Just something to talk about. Men love back story and gossip almost as much as women when it comes to certain things.

Funny how people change their striped suit and don those hindsight glasses once fate takes its course.

I'm always consistent. I think it's kinda silly honestly. the huddle can be more petty than a girl dumped right before prom at times. it's quit funny.  I never understood the stalker like obsession this place has with past players.  Unless they are someone of note Like Steve Smith or Mike Minter for example I honestly dont care if the go on to be the best player in the NFL and the reason anyone cares is beyond me.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
