Person this morning: Rhule looking more likely to coach Senior Bowl, and Brady's best chance to end up is in

Atlanta.

 

"So much for an offseason for Matt Rhule. Less than a week after the Panthers’ season ended with a thunk against New Orleans, Rhule already has lost two offensive assistants and has his offensive coordinator interviewing for head-coaching jobs.

Oh, and it’s looking more and more likely that Rhule and his staff will be coaching in the Senior Bowl this month, provided of course that he doesn’t lose said offensive coordinator."

"Brady, who just wrapped up his first year as a full-time play-caller at any level, has completed his three interviews with the Texans, Falcons and Chargers. Industry sources think Brady’s best shot is in Atlanta, which has interviewed Saints assistant general manager of pro personnel Terry Fontenot for their GM opening. Brady and Fontenot worked together in New Orleans when Brady was an offensive assistant for Sean Payton. "

 

It's the Athletic, so there's a paywall.

Senior bowl would be a great way to work with prospects.

I'm torn on Brady. I'm curious on what we would do of he left and what could change along with that move. How would that one move effect the draft, offensive direction and options at QB?

Still think his, at least perceived, lack of solid coaching connections to fill out a staff will severely hamper his hiring this cycle.

Possible, but there's a good number of fired coaches out there available.

Even if Brady doesn't know them though, Fontenot might. Heck, Fontenot and Brady might even be able to use connections through Sean Payton to reach out to some people.

If he’s going to crash and burn (highly likely with his robust experience), Atlanta seems like a great place to do it. Need to get under the cap, so basically rebuilding a team goes very well with an inexperienced coach. Maybe it’ll work out like it did for Goldie Hawn but me thinks not.

Brady will still be here next year, then if our new QB does well and is actually able to utilize the plethora of weapons we have our offense will be great. Then Brady might get a HC the next season. 

Better to rip off the band-aid now and have whoever our new OC is working with our rookie QB from the start. Just my opinion, tho.

My only hope is that Rhule doesn’t do it the nepotistic, lazy, Rivera way and just promote a QB coach or something that has no idea how to scheme or call an offense. And eats glue.

So if Brady were to take a HC position somewhere else who would we target? 

Three intriguing names for me:  Tony Elliot (OC, Clemson), Mike Kafka (QB Coach, KC), Graham Harrell (OC, USC...runs a version of Leach's air raid system)

I'm not familiar enough with the level below NFL OCs so there may be more attractive options?!

General belief is that RB Coach Jeff Nixon gets promoted and we backfill his spot.

Might have to look outside for a QB Coach, maybe Sean Ryan.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
