Tepper's Next HC: Get a Search Committee

I dreamt a dream that we lost to the Falcons.  And we could only muster 9 points...we may be getting out of this Rhule fiasco sooner than later.  But with that in mind, consider:

Tepper marches at the beat of his own drum and it's hard to really make happen as a fan, but I really hope this experiment has shown him that he needs football opps guys to help in our next HC search.  Much like JR did with Gettleman.  

Looking back, I can imagine Rhule was a grand vision guy, great first impression/interview type and much of what we're seeing could have been dug into at the beginning of the search. I'm feeling some questions weren't asked because Tepper was so blown away and bought into the hype (or if they were, he had a very shmoozy answers):

"How will you compensate for having such limited NFL experience?"

"What will be your offensive and defensive philosophies?"

"Do you have player types and a vision in mind for the type of team you would like to build?" 

My biggest thing when looking at those intro pressers and Tepper interviews was that he was wow'd in the now.  I really am unsure if he actually dug into the candidates.  For all we know, he was basically looking at like McCarthy & Rhule.  Both being pretty yuckersauce and went with the trendy pick out of left field.  This was also likely accompanied with being his first HC search as a giddy new owner.  Yes, he's a shrewd businessmen but he's also getting his feet wet as an owner.  There's always something to learn.

I just really hope DT puts together a few football minds that can dig deep & ask pressing questions during our next search.  I'd want to make sure they have the knack for coaching at this level, could tell me how they would take down the Bucs or Chiefs.  How they can counter a good gameplan.  

If we're talking names like Hackett, Eberflus, Dabboll, Pederson, etc., we need to make sure they can actually cut the mustard to this degree beyond the paper resumes and whatnot.  It's easy to list these hot names and their resumes, but getting a few guys to help gauge who has the head coaching gene beyond coordinator life will be critical.  

Here's to hoping.  Get a search committee.

I feel Fitters is up to the job. Hurney holdover Rhule is just another disaster in a line of disasters. This is why you don't give college coaches this much control. 

Hurney handled money, but Rhule was completely Tepper's decision. Thus why this post exists, b/c he fuged up the first time.

Absurd 🤦‍♂️

If you're saying the concept is absurd, the fact that such a topic of discussion is even a thing after only 2 years after Tepper got 'his guy', let alone the rest of the messes that have followed, means it's not.

If that's not what's absurd then please expand.

Makes no sense, please rephrase.

I just keep remembering Tepper during Rhules intro presser when he got hired. He kept saying Hurney was adamant they gotta here Rhule. That they couldn’t leave Rhules house or wherever they were, without hiring him. That was Tepperes mistake, trusting Hurney on this hire. Tepper needs to listen to smarter football ppl next time if he wants to get this right.

I don't trust anyone in house at this time to be qualified to make a competent decisions.

Tepper knows very little about how the NFL works outside of the finances. Most of the front office people are Hurney hires, enough said, keep them away. Frtitts is a Rhule quality GM, we could do better anyways and there is nothing I have seen in his resume to feel good about what he would look for in a HC. That's how we get a worse Rhule.  

Tepper needs to bring in a short term answer over everyone regardless of the specifics of movement. This place is infested with incompetence now and he doesn't know how to fix it.

If we want a shot at a real coach and not another Rhule, Gase or Kelly then we need to bring someone skilled and experienced in, hopefully more good than bad experience.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
