I have no issues with having these two as OCs.

Former head coach’s as coordinators have worked really well recently.

It needs to be someone with a previous HC experience, so it makes sense. I still really like the idea of Jim Caldwell as well.

I think Rhule would be intimidated by a former head coach.  That is part of why the team is in this mess.  He has surrounded himself with his college friends for a reason.  (Rivera said that one one of the biggest mistakes he made early on was not bringing a coach on his staff who had HC experience.)

These sound like someone other than Matt Rhule's idea.

For O'Connell, this would be a lateral move since he's already an OC. He'd have to be out of contract or have permission. Either way going from the Rams to the Panthers with no advancement sounds weird.

Could they be being told it might turn into a head coaching job? Not by Rhule but yeah. That'd leave you with a staff full of Rhule loyalists though (not so sure that works).

You'll know how hard they had to be bribed to get then to come here by their contract. I would assume theres quiet promise of them potentially being head coach by mid season in there as well. But if I'm a coach in a good place with potential head coaching offers in a few years I don't make a lateral move to a team like this without an unreasonable amount of money being thrown at me.

Yep. This is coming from above Rhule. My guess is Tepper is going to have to throw mega bucks at a coordinator to get them to work here under Rhule due to him most likely being a being a lame duck coach.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
