i mean they literally need SOMEONE to do the job right now

they're not bringing anyone from outside the organization in at this point to run someone else's offense

So, assuming Rhule is retained, you have to convince a qualified outside candidate to come to a staff on a very hot seat...

Damn Matt and his pals are even giving Ron a run for his money.

Isn’t it fun to root for the new laughing stock of the nfl? 

Well, Detroit gets bigger laughs, but I get your point.

He's got one.

Assistant ST Coach Ed Foley was Rhule's special teams coordinator at Baylor.

That's the part Chase needs to be wary of.  Blackburn is not a Rhule guy and thus expendable.

Yeah, it’s bizarre that people think you’re going to get a qualified OC candidate to come here with 5 games in 5 weeks. What an awful way to show you can do the job and how would you hire someone for multiple years? Of course someone from within would become the interim OC. SMH, it’s not complicated. 

Yeah, I think you guys are misunderstanding... it ain't the fact that Rhule promoted from within, its the fact that he YET AGAIN goes the nepotism route.

As I pointed out previously, Sean Ryan also doesn't have OC experience, but he *does* have 14 consecutive years of experience coaching offense at the NFL level.  The choice as to who to temporarily promote (the experienced quarterbacks coach in a quarterback-driven league) was a no-brainer here.

But Rhule chose to go with his college buddy.  THAT is the issue being criticized here, not promotion from the current staff.

*AND* to replace his best buddy and college roommate.

10 years of NFL experience isn’t bad.

This place is never happy...

I understand but it’s interim. For some reason we have a worry about 5 games letting a guy be an interim OC over a guy who’s never been an OC before and to be honest hasn’t really shown he’s a great QB reclamation guy. Has Ryan done so well this year that we should be annoyed?

I get it, its interim... in the big scheme of this dumpster fire it really isn't a big deal.  I agree.

I just think its just another clear and discouraging signal by Rhule of his continued pattern of decision making, i.e. "doubling down", that has been failing this organization for almost two years now.

He’s the new OC for December/January. That better? 

It is more accurate.  "Interim" is the word you could have used.

[Zod]

What a coincidence that the best man for the job is Rhule's highschool buddy!

[BIGH2001]

It isn’t that we expected bill Walsh part  2 to come replace Brady. People are pissed about the lack of depth and experience on this staff.  The “next man up” is another asshole buddy of our coach and another guy who has no business on an nfl staff. This whole thing needs to be burned down.
