Careful or Kevin King will hear you.

[Basbear]

How many new jobs has Rhule added? It feels like 10 new positions have been put on the staff. Tepper is vastly different than Richardson about staff spending. Plus that bubble was done within 1 year too. 

The Baylor jokes write themselves. Wish Rhule was the Clemson, Bama, or OSU head coach other than a texas place that was still easy to recruit after big issues.    

[Shocker]

Great move by the team.  Feels like something special is being put in place here.  

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Seems like the only reminders of the last owner is the statue.   And Marty. 
 One to think of it. Wonder if there was a clause in the sell about keeping Marty.  There was one about the statue.  Has this been pondered?

[Waldo]

Director of human performance? Are we concerned about some kind of mixup that requires Human to be a part of that title for clarification on a football team?

Performance coach seems pretty simple. Performance Director very official. That is just weird.

Anyways two more Rhule guys, a nice award and a lady who makes nutrition perform. Nice haul

Kate Callaway is going to get David Tepper in trouble one day. Jerry Richardson 2.0

Great to see Coach Rhule forming a group that he will have confidence in to make the Panthers a better football team.I also give Tepper credit for opening up the pocket book to add these new hires.

Yes, Kate Callaway is cute and fairly young,it might have been better to hire a butt ugly,older person so there would be less temptation to pulll a Jerry Richardson.

It should be said the organization has lost a great one with Ryan Vermillion moving on to Washington. I dont know about you, but I remember seeing this guy for every sad, shocking, tense medical moment on the field for the last 18 years.  18 Years!  Thats a heck of a lot of injuries. I remember seeing him run on after Steve Smiths horse collar tackle. Jordan Gross gets knocked out. Of course Luke's well documented concussion. I even remember him being the first on the field to help opposing team players. Deion got his orbital socket busted on the Panther sideline....For each of these Ryan Vermillion was that tall skinny guy (looking like Gabe from the Office) walking these guys off the field or kneeling by them while they got their wits together, or just waited for the cart. I hated seeing Ryan Vermillion come out on the field but I was always comforted by his being there.

 

Nothin but the best wishes to Kevin King. He has some big shoes to fill.

The Firm doing work.
