Mentioned it elsewhere, but thanks to an NFL rule change made earlier this year, any team that fires a coach midseason can start interviewing prospects for their next head coach two weeks before the season ends.

Tepper fired both Rivera and Hurney in season, so if he is ready to move on from Rhule it'd be no surprise to see it happen before the year is over.

Granted, that's a huge "if"...

Swing open the doors, let Rhule bounce once at the curb, then find this guy to hire!

The coach will live a die by the coordinators he chooses.  Whoever the next HC candidate is for the job better have great answers to that question.  As many have pointed out being a good coordinator does not equate to a great head coach.  A great motivator is only part of the job.

Thread is fail....sounds an awful lot like Rhule when we were looking at him. Some of you have a very short memory

Yeah I’m sure it’s not just Aaron Rodgers making Hackett look good .. are you serious?

OC’s are so overrated .. great players on offense make OC’s

Also this...come on guys. You actually think Bieniemy is a good coach too?

Hackett definitely seems good on paper.  

I would be extremely happy with the choice, but the realist in my also knows that every year some "hot coordinator" gets a HC job and they often fail.

Everyone keeps thinking in terms of two options, keep Rhule, Fire Rhule, but there could be a third.  What if Tepper keeps Rhule unless he knows for sure he can get the next coach he wants?

For example Tepper might be willing to make a change for Hackett, but if not you wait another year.  I'm not saying that is what you should do, but sometimes when you fire a guy its dependent on who you have lined up to replace them.

I've looked at some of his associations. Here are a few of the options.

For offensive coordinator...

Packers QB Coach Luke Getsy - considered a young coach on the rise, one article said he's "bound to get a coordinator job soon"

Raiders OC Greg Olson - longtime West Coast OC with a solid rep, worked with Hackett in Jacksonville

Jaguars OC Brian Schottenheimer - if the Jags staff is let go, former associate of Hackett's dad Paul via his dad Marty

On the defensive side...

Packers DB Coach Jerry Gray - veteran DC with a good resumé

Raiders DC Gus Bradley - worked with Hackett in Jacksonville and Fitterer in Seattle

Titans Senior Defensive Assistant Jim Schwartz - one of the top defensive minds in the league, worked with Hackett back in Buffalo (my top choice)

Former Packers DC Mike Pettine - previous Packers colleague, has been a good DC but was fired in Green Bay

Bills LB Coach Bob Babich - was DC with Hackett in Jacksonville, long and solid resumé going back to being Ron Rivera's successor in Chicago

Wade Phillips - needs no introduction, worked with Hackett's dad, wants to be a DC again but up there in years

Lotta good position coach possibilities too...

Remember when you wanted Dan Campbell

I’m not sure if you are saying this disparagingly, but Dan Campbell has looked more than OK with absolutely nothing in Detroit. His team has been fighting and in a ton of games they have had no business being in. 
 

If he can draft well and get the right qb, he’s gonna make for a good coach in Detroit. 
 

If you want to jump Mr Scot’s poo, there is plenty of source material based on his feelings about Brandon Beane when he was originally rumored to be Marty’s successor.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
