I told a friend of mine towards the end of the season that I just think he’s in the NFL to A) get paid and B) set himself up for the next really big NCAA opening. If I remember correctly he wasn’t that interested in coaching in the NFL until Tepper and Marty pulled into his driveway and handed him 70 million dollars.

I certainly don’t believe he will coach out his contract.  He appears burned out and has for months now.

His contract at Baylor was 62 million. 

This was almost a lateral move money wise.

No his contract at Baylor was 4.1 million per year. He would have had a 17 year contract for it to be lateral. The Panthers gave Rhule a 62 million dollar deal and had a 6 million buy out they had to pay Baylor. Which is about 8.8 million per year.

Finally was able to listen to the pressor.   Agree..Rhule looks like hell.  However...I also did note....

Rhule and Fit seemed to be very comfortable with each other. 

Rhule did a good job evading the question about comparing Fit  and Marty.

Fit sounds confident.  He sounds confident in their board and their plans. I am going to trust this guy.

I told him, 'This is your dream. You want to be in the NFL. These are people that I know you will jive with. You'll do great things

Did you catch the Myles Hartsfield "starting" reference?  (I think he was the nickel at the end of the season).  That is significant if he can hold the job.  Prolly why we let Elder go.

If no sewell,  chase, or pitts then trade back. Starting to warm up to this a lot more. I like slater but i would value acquiring more picks in the 2nd 3rd round then settling at 8. I like the talent that will be available there.

Fair enough. But that was probably before the pressure of having to live up to David Tepper’s 70 million dollar expectations.
 

Also article sounds like her idea not his.

Rhule said many times that he wanted to coach at the top level.  This is his dream job.  I think too many of you are over analyzing him.  This is his first real offseason where traveling and interviews (much better than Covid 2020).  Just like rookies in their initial season it takes some getting used to.

I like Hartsfield.  He is more versatile than Corn E. It was good to Corn step up his game last year though.

The quote I found interesting was Rhule talking about being the first Coach to offer K. Pitts a scholarship. If Pitts slips to #8 (I know its only a dream) then he is definitely the pick!

I wonder of the 155 prospects, how deep they have the WRs and CBs...the deepest groups of the class?  Maybe 15-20 deep?  That may seem high, but remember positions like RB, TE and QB aren't going to hit double digits on their board.
