I like it. Rhule would be good at Oklahoma. As soon as I saw Riley was leaving I thought Rhule has to be eyeing that position. I’m not sure LSU is going to turn over their program to Joe Brady though. He’s not proven as anything as a coach as of now. Brady might be heading back to the Saints coaching staff IMO. 

I like Eberflus a lot. Defense would shine under him with the talent they have here. Hire an up and coming offensive coordinator from the NFL and we might have a team.

I’m big on Eberflus. I liked him during the last search. I also like Daboll from Buffalo.

 

I have this weird feeling Mike Tomlin is gonna get fired and Tepper is gonna hire him since he’s a Pittsburgh guy.

If the Steelers are dumb enough to get rid of Tomlin, I hope we are smart enough to back up the Brinks truck and send Rhule out to Oklahoma.

Tepper doesn’t like Tomlin. He lobbied to have him fired when he was a Steelers minority owner

If Tepper wants to, it's happening.  It's his money.  I wouldn't say it's disposable but this is too embarrassing to continue with such a lucrative deal.

I’m not sure how much of it is guaranteed. He signed a 7 year deal worth 60 million and 10 million in incentives. Also had a 2.5 million signing bonus. So let’s say 30 million is guaranteed. 
 

60 million minus 2.5= 57.5. He will have coached 2 seasons at 8.5 million per season. That is 17 million. 57.5 million minus 17 million is 40 million. So Tepper would have to pay out roughly 10 million. 
 

Buts that’s just guessing 30 million is what’s guaranteed.

He hired Matt Rhule after lobbying for Tomlin to be fired. I guess you’re saying he might have learned more since the Rhule failure?

Pegulas took a while to get McDermott right and the whole Tomlin thing is blown out of proportion. Florio had a great article that in the era of new ownership the first head coach tends to not work out. It’s ok the world doesn’t end tomorrow.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
