You can’t read?

Be careful opening Pandora’s box on paying college football recruits.  It was amazingly prevalent in the past.

Calling out Brent Venables is ridiculous

I think Rhule ends up at ND. IMO he’s a very Brian Kellyesque type of coach. Process, system, builder. I think he likes that about college and it doesn’t work in the NFL the way he thought it may. 
 

ND is giving Freeman a chance to see if they get in the CFP and let him show what he can do. But after that I fully expect them to go looking for BK replacement. 
 

The timeline matches up so that if we lose 1-2 more games and are basically eliminated from playoffs in mid December (likely) Rhule is going to start putting feelers out. ND will be the best job available. Freeman will be out…Rhule will be in. That’s my hunch. Which could be completely wrong. But it’ll give Rhule time to know this season is over. It’ll give ND time to evaluate Freeman. 
 

ND went through a serious dry spell with some of their hires during the early-2000s. They don’t want to go back to that. Getting a proven builder at the college level is going to be important. I think Fickell could take the OU job. I don’t think they’ll want someone who hasn’t been a HC like Venables.

ND promoted their DC to HC yesterday. That ship has sailed.

Dude what are you talking about paying players. Rumors about Vernables has nothing to do w paying players. Apparently he may be a hot head who thinks with the wrong part of his body.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/panthers-matt-rhule-remains-coveted-by-college-programs-but-hes-not-interested-as-of-now/

 But numerous league and college sources said the NFL coach held in highest regard by many premier programs is Carolina coach Matt Rhule.

Sources said LSU had Rhule atop their wish list -- it ended up hiring Brian Kelly from Notre Dame -- as did USC and Oklahoma, the latter yet to name a coach with Lincoln Riley going to USC. Programs put out major feelers for Rhule, sources said, a coach who revived programs at Temple and Baylor and produced staffs and players who excelled as well. Rhule is in his second year of what has been a rocky tenure with the Panthers, as that team struggles to find an offensive identity and, most importantly, someone to handle quarterback duties for more than a temporary basis.

 but college programs still wanted to gauge his interest before moving on with their searches. That is likely to remain the case next year, though it's hard to envision as many of these type of destination jobs opening up in 2022. Many close to Rhule have long maintained that the Penn State job would be the most difficult for him to turn down, but Nittany Lions coach James Franklin recently signed a long-term extension to stay in Happy Valley (though numerous college sources were adamant that he was hopeful of landing one of the several big jobs that opened up last month).

Why don't you post  facts,  not innuendos found in black holes on the internet.  POST THE LINKS, instead of spewing "rumors" started in a rivals basement etc..

Dabo is a really good guy, but I long have maintained he stuck gold with his OC and DC picks year ago.  He lost his OC going into this season and Clemson's offense struggled.  It remains to be seen if their defense stays a top 5 unit as they have been all these years with Venables.  In short, we get to see how Clemson looks without the two guys that kept them a top program in the nation.  Dabo has his work cut for him in 2022 if this year's offensive struggles are any indication.

As for OU, it's a smart choice.  While their offense is usually high octane, the defense is what has held them back for a long time.  It makes sense to go get one of the top defensive guys in the nation.

I guess we dont have an easy route but the idea Rhule could still get fired for poor performance and have all the good options off the table is very fitting considering how Cam's release was handled.

To be real though, if Rhule we're to get fired, I'm pretty sure his bank account has enough of a cushion that he could wait around a year or so to see if something to his liking opens up.

With out a doubt but his ego would be feeling it.

Rhule is a builder. He built our defense that was at the bottom of the league for the last 2 years and has made them into a top 5 unit. I think he gets a year to try and fix the offense. Just make sure he fires brady and doesn't make the choice for QB because it's clear we have no idea what we are doing there.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
