Quick answer

I know I'm not willing to give him up

[LinvilleGorge]

Texans, Jets, Dolphins, Lions, Broncos, Falcons, Jags, for sure. Giants too since by most accounts we got their guy. Browns, Bengals, Chargers, Football Team (LOL!), Bucs, Vikings, Cowboys, Cardinals... maybe, maybe not but they should.

I think probably less than 10. If we are this successful(.500 or better) at the halfway point, I think that number will rise quite a bit. It will rise even more at 16 games if the same is true.

I would expect that most owners/GM's aren't jumping off a cliff very quickly this far into the season. That will happen towards the last third to quarter of the season. 

[Mr. Scot]

Four games in, guys.

I like what I've seen so far as much as anybody, but I also remember there was a time when people thought Chip Kelly was a genius too.

[Mistuh Jones]

Yeah we need to collectively pump the brakes a taste, but glad the optimism is taking flight

Exactly my point. 

I think a lot of teams hold on to bad coaching for fears it would only get worse from the current pool of coaching availability. Teams tried to interview Rhule for years and he declined. 

 

How many teams would take a risk on a largely unknown but has shown a ton of promise in the NFL thus far? I think quite a few. 

[Basbear]

I think 10(about) is a good guess. Much like QB, HCs that are able to handle adversity is a great trait. Weird off-season, huge turnover, and no pre-season Rhule STILL had the team ready week one, two, three, and four. Yes its only four games, no matter that shows me plenty and I believe other owners/GM will think so too.

I did have very low expectations coming in.

Meanwhile, Texans ownership...

Though, like Rivera, O'Brien probably should've already been fired a couple of years ago.

[The Huddler]

no matter how many games we lose it feels great to have a good coach and a young team oozing with potential.  we are on the upswing of the bell curve

[Jesse]

I’m sure a decent bit would. But luckily stepper has fug you money and can buy any cos h he wants.

Yeah this is kinda ridiculous. I get being excited, and I'm as excited as anyone here by the early prospects of Rhule and company. But we're 4 games into a very strange season in the middle of a pandemic. I wouldn't read so much into that we think 10+ other teams right now would fire their coaches for Rhule. Only reported interest in him the past few go arounds was NYJ and NYG and Jets I believe passed on him, while we might've outbid the Giants but not sure exactly what went down there. Other teams who needed HC weren't very interested in him the past few years, I highly doubt 4 games would sway their opinion on that. Let's talk after the season.
