There's not exactly a whole lot of history to suggest that the Panthers make good decisions either.

The Panthers as an organization have accomplished a lot more than McD as a head coach. All he managed to do was gut an organization, gut a roster, and get fired while cheating mid-way through his second season in an effort that would ultimately yield a four win season. Yikes.

I'll quote what I said in the other thread

Tepper made a huge mistake hiring Rhule over Stefanski

Not a good look when Haslam is making better decisions than you (although it was really DePodesta, who had previously recommended Sean McDermott)

Stefanski will be a great coach

We passed over this guy for another Rivera.   I wonder how many years of losing Tepper is going to have to endure to actually take analytics seriously instead of just tossing it around.

 

I'm taking Tepper's hiring skills over a guy called Bobo on an internet forum

I don't think it matters if he spurned the Colts.  There was a clear misunderstanding on if he'd get to appoint his own coordinators/other coaches, he hadn't even inked anything, and the Patriots made a huge counter-offer.  I would bet this happens all the time, where one side gets cold feet; the Colts just jumped the gun since it was a 'new guy' in charge of the process.

I certainly don't think it helped endear him to anyone as a candidate.

Likely not, particularly when you are dealing with massively wealthy, egotistical individuals, but I don't blame McDaniels for the situation.  I agree his term in Denver was a fuging disaster and any actual hiring of him would be more than a little bit scary, haha.  But I dislike that in our case we didn't even go through with interviews.

Well, it depends what you consider evidence.  His statements suggest he has changed.  I don't consider the Colts/Broncos situations similar personally.  I do not know if McDaniels really has learned from his mistakes, but a lot of his statements, and the statements of his players and other Patriots coaches, suggest he has.  Time may tell.

For me, I wasn't particularly enamored with McDaniels, I was just frustrated we didn't follow through on our other interviews.

Edit: Also confused by Tepper's description of the ... courting of Rhule.  Just sounds like Hurney is building the team completely now.

The problem with listening to statements from the Pats is that McDaniels had a safety net under him.  Perhaps two.  Their names, in order, were Belichick and Brady.  He flat out was not going to be in a situation to go off the rails again.

If you are McDaniels, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand what the prevailing knock on you is.  To go in and ask to create the very same situation that most believe facilitated the meltdown in Denver shows he has not learned much.

We are talking about a guy who has shown his flashes of brilliance in one organization, under one head coach, and with essentially one QB.  Whatever good will he earned from Brady missing almost all of 2008 was burned and then some by 2009 and 2010. 

If the Browns do indeed pass on him, it certainly looks like nobody in the NFL, other than maybe the Pats, wants to be the beta test site to see if the guy has actually learned one thing about the type of leadership it takes to be an NFL HC.

I think we dodged Lane Kiffin v. 2.0.

Funny you choose a total wash of a college-to-NFL coach - because that is my concern, although at least Rhule has more experience building programs.

As an aside, wasn't that situation somehow related to JaMarcus Russell too? I don't recall circumstances but I remember feeling that the whole Kiffin ordeal was a lot more complicated.

I honestly am not in love with McDaniels and do not mind passing on him.  I am far more concerned with the way that the hiring was described and the way the process went down than on who was ultimately selected.

How many actually did? I think it was just the Browns, wasn't it?

The Browns, Giants and Panthers all asked for interviews.

Even after the Rhule hire, Rapoport confirmed that McDaniels was one of our top two targets.

Had he interviewed first, who knows what might have happened?

So... just the Browns, right? The best organization in all of pro sports.

Again, total agreement.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
