Quick note, re: coaching

I’m a big fan of hiring BBQ Dad as offensive coordinator and hiring Matt Eberflus as head coach.

If he's successful, you'll lose him after a year to a team that will make him a head coach again. I think if you want Doug, you gotta give him the head coach position.

I'm far from certain that Matt Rhule will be let go (in my opinion, he should be). But if he is, here's something worth keeping in mind...

Two higher-up members of the Panthers front office have ties to Bills OC Brian Daboll.

Pat Stewart was with the Patriots when Daboll was the right ends coach from 2013 to 2016.

And of course, Dan Morgan was previously with the Bills. He and Daboll arrived in Buffalo the same offseason (2018).

Personally, I'd prefer Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett, but it's hard not to think those connections wouldn't at least potentially give Daboll an inside track on the job if (if) any changes are made.

Just something to think about...

I'm out.

Out for now?

Out until Rhule is canned?

Out for good?

To those wondering, my absence is related to some personal challenges.

Without going into too much detail, Lady Cowboy Fan is facing three upcoming surgeries. That's not the only thing going on mind you, but it's the biggest.

Between that and the other things, I haven't been up to talking football quite as much, but I'm still watching.

May be back to talk some more in coming weeks, but obviously my top priority right now is helping her.

So obviously my thoughts are going to be with you.

I sincerely hope it all goes well.

Thanks man, and thanks again to everybody for the well wishes.

Lady Cowboy Fan is having kind of a rough time right now. I keep trying to get her to slow down and relax but she refuses. She's one of those people who only rests when she's exhausted, and there's always something that needs to be done right now.

I suppose I could be like that too if I wanted, but these days I find it's a lot easier to get exhausted than it used to be 😐

I obviously identify with health issues, having had a serious health scare myself in late 2018.

Any time you need a sympathetic ear, feel free to reach out.

Tepper will retain Matt but give Fitterer full control of the roster

Retaining both with dramatic change in power/responsibilities is certainly a possibility...

...but make no mistake about it, after all the bed shatting by the "football people",  going forward there's only one person will have "full control" over anything and that Mr. David Alan Tepper -- Owner.

As a complete aside, after a lengthy absence someone is back with an absolute vengeance, 183 posts in 2 days...

...ladies and gentlemen that's how you run it up to a quarter-million comments real fast!

Well done 💣💥💯

I'm gonna be honest, the biggest reservation I have about firing Matt Rhule is that David Tepper will be  heavily involved in hiring his replacement.

Well, if Rhule is fired gird up your loins...

...because Tepper is the sole owner, the richest NFL owner, and he's gonna start himself in the control postion...and that will never change...

...but he'll get it right, count on it 😉

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
