Did we win the Head Coaching hire battle? Sure seems like it.

Mike McCarthy- Mr free massages for everyone whose Green Bay team actually got significantly better after he left Green Bay.

Joe Judge-.special teams coordinator with zero offensive/defensive experience nor HC experience.

Stefanski- One of the better hires but let’s be real, it’s Cleveland, if he doesnt win a Lombardi in a year or two he will just be joining the loooong line of Ex Browns head coaches anyway.

Rivera- Ahh last but certainly not least. Mr “couldn’t beat a freaking Gary Kubiak team with a geriatric Peyton Manning with a bad neck” Rivera in a season with Cam playing MVP GOAT status and Kuechly in his prime. Good luck with Dwayne Haskins bwahaha.
 

Rhule- Leader of men, literally took not one but two college teams that were a joke and abysmal and turned each of them into world beaters in a couple short years. Has received praise from many respected heads around the league, from Tom Coughlin and even Sean Payton singing his praises.

Obviously I realize only time will tell, hell, for all I know, Joe Judge will be the next Bellicheck and Rhule will be the next Seifert. But on paper so far, it seems we definitely landed the best prospect this year.

That just isn't true. 

Baylor had 7 straight winning seasons before Rhule arrived.  Including 4 10+ win seasons during that streak.

Rhule came in and didn't let the scandal completely derail what Baylor had become.  He gets credit for that.

They still lost good players to transfers because of the scandal and lost tons of scholarships with 3 and 4 star recruits decommitting or whatever. He had to work with a 1-11 team with minimal talent and work them back up.

If Matt Rhule turns out to be as good as George Seifert, that will be A-OK with me.

114-62 (.648) Regular season

10-5 (.667) Playoffs

5X Super Bowl Champion coach.

Mike McCarthy,... “significantly better” remains to be seen. The Packers has 14-2 And 15-1 seasons under mike, plenty of back to back and playoff runs. Remember Rodgers was fresh back off injury last year and the 2 seasons prior was a nightmare. 2016 they were in the NFC Championship.

next week when the 49ers annihilate them will you say “significantly improved”?

I personally will have to wait just like everyone here for the next “5 seasons” to see what this looks like.

Will we be the Browns, Houston, Kansas City or the Patriots?

or just the same as the Panthers have been for 25 years,...

You realize most of those Super Bowls came when he was the DC for Bill Walsh right?  The 3 years he was a coach here he was 16 wins and 32 losses.

And two likely future Hall of Famer's as edge rushers with perennially underrated Danny Travethon in the middle. Aqib Talib on the outside and Harris on the otherside.

That defense wrecked everyone they played in the playoffs.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
