When you mentioned one guy, for some reason I thought you meant one guy.

sorry...wasn't suggesting him or the one man search team. it just made me think about him. hadn't thought about him in a long time.

hire a guy from a team and expect him to not suggest someone he's worked with recently?

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

It's been noted that Hurney hired him before Tepper even knew what was going on. A real GM would have seen through Rhules BS. Hurney not so much.

Do search committees really do any better job at finding coaches?

It's easy to second guess the process once you know the results.

Would a search committee have hired Jimmy Johnson for the Cowboys?  Mike Tomlin for Pittsburg? 

I'm not saying Rhule is the answer, or that Tepper needs to make the decision all on his own, but when it comes to finding a coach or even a QB, more times than not you are wrong.  I'm more interested in how you handle it once you realize it isn't working.

The Steelers had Kevin Colbert running their search. We had David Tepper. And the results break down accordingly.

I don't necessarily care if there's a search committee choosing the next head coach or not. It just needs to not be Tepper.

Single selections are a bit of a small sample size. 

Here again, I'm not saying Tepper needs to make the decision, I'm just saying people are drawing some absolute statements from a singular decision that are never really absolute.

on a side note, did Colbert make the final call on Tomlin?  or Rooney?

Some would say the NFL.

The decision was up to Colbert. It came down to Tomlin and then Steelers assistant Russ Grimm. Conspiracy theorists say the NFL pushed for Tomlin "in the spirit of the Rooney Rule".

No idea whether there's any validity to that, but the decision worked out regardless, so...

    • Aggressive runner, hits the hole fast, and runs angry.  Just a few yards shy of the single game record for the team.  Absolutely phenomenal performance.  If the gameplan hadn't become weirdly pass heavy for the 3rd and first half of the 4th quarters he might have been flirting with 300.
    • I felt that way before the season started, but I'm sorry, he's already proven he isn't that guy, I don't need to learn anything more about him. He threw the ball 30 times today and could only throw for 198 yards, which was his 2nd best yardage game this year, he's just not the guy. Which means this season has already moved onto the 2nd most important thing going into this season after evaluating Bryce, and that's developing our best young players. You don't do that by only throwing 8 of your 30 passes to your best player who is still only a rookie.  Pepper him with targets and help develop him so he's ready to take a huge leap next year when we get a real HC and QB to get him the ball.
    • Every win comes from a non-sustainable source.  As CRA mentioned, Penix absolutely imploding against ATL, and then today, defense finally clicked and looked the best they’ve looked in a long time (and still have up 24 points lol) and Rico ran for 200+ yards.  We’re not going to get that every week, especially against good teams, which neither Miami or ATL are.  Both MIA and ATL are bad teams and Bryce still couldn’t get it together.  The defense (and team) had to overcome 14 points because of his turnovers again.  That was not even an average QB performance.  We are winning in spite of him.
