Matt Rhule a hot name for open college coaching jobs at Oklahoma, Notre Dame

So the Rhule and Brady to Oklahoma smoke is getting really thick. I wonder where that leaves us on an interim basis for the last 5 games? Rhule would obviously be gone as would Brady as he is half the attraction there with his connection to Caleb Williams and we know Rhule is not going anywhere without Phil Snow along for the ride.

Not that it really matters, but the HC and both coordinators leaving with this much season left has to be unprecedented, right?

Would just be Rhule one of the others would take over until they were terminated at season end then they would join, I suppose. 
 

I guess if all 3 left, Blackburn or Holcombe?

For a college coaching gig......absolutely uncharted territory. I would be intrigued to see the optics/perception of our franchise if this happens. Truthfully, I think it would reflect poorly on Rhule, but can't look good for an NFL franchise with a LOADED owner that backed up the Brinks truck for you loses their HC 1.5 years into his gig.

I'm sure it would be pitched as a mutual parting of ways or something where both sides don't look terrible like they did with the Petrino/Falcons situation. Good PR can spin it so it's not a complete mess and I have seen absolutely nothing that the fan base would be in any way upset if Rhule did leave. Most would be thrilled and at worst people would be kind of indifferent.

Take it with a grain of salt, but I know an OU insider who knew their coach was leaving before he did. They mainly want Brady, but if Rhule being there is what it takes to get him they'll do it - and the boosters are more than happy to cover any payout that results from Rhule leaving.

I'll toss in a couple bucks if it helps.

My source lives on the west coast now and the other one died. The half reliable ones I have now say Rhule is staying no matter what in 2022 unless he loses out.

That's a possibility.

Can NCAA teams even recruit active HCs until the season is over?

Even then they are under a contract? Don’t they have to request an interview?

The NFL doesn't have any authority over the NCAA.

Not sure he'd take Blackburn, but it's also not all that likely the next coach would retain him.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
