The problem with firing Matt Rhule: Who would want to coach this team?

Recommended Posts

DJ Moore, Robby, CMC as weapons. Hubbard, TMJ, Tremble with potential. 

Burns, Chinn, Horn, Shaq with potential contributors in YGM, Taylor, CJ, Brown, Roy and Nixon. 

Potentially able to retain Gilmore, DJax, Reddick. 

Not to mention an abundance of future cap space and a top 10 pick to secure your QB if so desired. Factor in a small market with a bar previously set so low that .500 is an accomplishment and a relatively passive media presence compared to other markets and THEN you factor in an owner who will throw 10 mil a year and total control and you have a very desirable opportunity. 

Somebody will take this job and there people who will be banging down the doors to get it. Theres only 32 of them in the world.

I'm a very big fan of Nathaniel Hackett.

I usually look forward to some up and coming coordinator that can turn things around. There are no current coordinators that excite me, none. We need NFL HC experience. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of retreads, due to tape. However, Harbaugh is top of my list, then Pederson or Kubiak. I think if we hire anyone else, we are looking at 3-4 years before that coordinator gets enough experience to be a HC. Rhule, obviously could not learn on the job. Hell I would even be excited about Wade Phillips before any current coordinator.

He has Aaron Rodgers. It is hard to know how good he is in situational football when 12 is making the calls. I’m not saying he wouldn’t make a great HC, but we do not have a Rodgers. His other OC stops were ok, but nothing exciting. On the plus side, he could go dancing with the Top Cats after a score, that would be entertaining.

Look back at his history before Rodgers.

He made the Jags the #5 offense in the NFL with Blake Bortles.

So there's that.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
