was that Pep? Was LSU’s record breaking season Joe Brady?  

Current OC had a top tier pass attack the year prior when then GM traded away Nuk Hopkins.  Yeah, he had Watson but there wasn’t much in Hou then either. 

Gets hard to tell sometimes.  Passing game coordinator isn’t calling the O. 

if Pep is that good….why has he bounced around so heavily since he was fired in Indy.   He basically has turned into a one year bounce around rental. 

He was the QB coach Herbert’s rookie year when he won rookie of the year. He also worked with Luck in Stanford and the Colts. It’s a more extensive resume than Brady. I’m not saying he is the next guru, but he tends to get a lot out of young QBs if the talent is there. The bouncing around is definitely alarming, but it’s a step up from a very inexperienced Brady looking good one year in college with an extremely loaded offense. Joe Brady may be good down the road, he just needs more experience.

As I said, he is an improvement over anything Rhule has had to date.   But that isn’t saying much.  

He basically has a new job every year.   Not sure he has really hung around long enough to fail or succeed anywhere. 

his only OC job I felt was strictly because he had relationship with Luck from Stanford.  Is he a NFL OC if he wasn’t Luck’s college OC? 

 

It appears Pep was just in the wrong place at wrong time. He wasnt short term due to his capabiltiies, but rather the coaches he worked for were fired after a single year. He has been in the league for a long time, and has worked on many different teams. He has called plays successfully at the pro level, and was an assistant head coach in CLE. 

He checks the boxes.

Might be a case of wrong place at the wrong time. 

He also checks off the box he could take over as interim.  Legit NFL OC time, XFL HC, etc.  Because Matt Rhule will still be Matt Rhule.

Hope he enjoys trying to turn Kenny Pickett into a starting caliber QB.

I have nothing against Pickett. I think people that were down on him are the same who were down on Mac. They are the boring, pro ready QBs whose film check a lot of the boxes, but they won’t wow you at the combine. I’m still thinking Carson Strong is being overlooked to a degree.

Also found it utterly depressing that the GM made sure note it was Rhule’s hire.   Not his.  He was there if Matt wanted input but Matt doesn’t know offense Rhule is picking the OC. 

what exactly is the point of Fitt? Tepper could save some money and not have a fake GM.  Rhule is a bad version of Bill O’Brien. 

Every coach in the league has the power to hire their own assistants.

Some of them just happen to suck at it.

Rhule dials up Pep-

Pep- "Hello<Rhule jumps in "This is had coach of the carolina panthers Matt Rhule speaking>"

Pep- "there.." "Nice to hear form you Matt"

Rhule- "Only refer to me as Head Coach"

Pep. "...ok"

Rhule- "Look here Im in the market for another scapego..., I mean OC"

Pep- "Sounds<Rhule jumps in again-"Head coach Rhule!!!, you see Peps its like jeopardy you have to answer in the form of a question, but use Head Coach Rhule, ok?"

Pep-<more confused....> "Head Coach Rhule"

Rhule- "THATS IT!!! see thats part of the progress I teach here as the Carolina Panthers HC"

Pep- "Head Coach Rhule...... who do you plan on having as QB??"

Rhule- "Sam Darnold of course"

\

Rhule-"pep you still there?"

\

Rhule- "Pep?"

I see talk linking Pep to a Watson trade. This is Pep's first year in Houston and he has only worked with Watson on the practice field. If you want to hire a coach to truly get linked to Watson, then fire Snow and hire Brian Flores as your DC. It was said today that Flores relationship with their owner, GM, and Tua was not good due to him pushing for Watson. Owner and GM are behind Tua. Flores was the attraction to Miami for DW

Interesting that Pep and O’Connell are both being viewed as HC candidates. 

Maybe Tepper has taken away Rhule’s offensive role all together and he can just be the ra-ra coach he is and lay his fortunes on the defense with Phil.

If we do poorly then poooosh—-Kevin O’Connell or Pep Hamilton become interim or maybe long term.

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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
