What Happens If We Strike Out on a Legit OC Hire?

Truth is regardless of who we hire, my feelings towards them and the team are going to continue to be "meh" until Rhule is fired. 

I won't allow myself to get pissed off anymore but this crap team or get excited when we have an ok draft and pick up a few decent FAs or win a couple games early in the season. 

Regardless of what happens we're going to keep winning just a enough games to get us a top 5-10 pick every year as long as Rhule is here. 

He's more interested in trying to build his "culture" (whatever the hell that is) than win.

Hue Jackson is out there somewhere. We probably could do worse, but damn it’ll be challenging.  Rhule’s bottom of the barrel.  I’m surprised I haven’t heard Hackett’s name much.  If Green Bay somehow keeps him after this year and we finally get rid of Rhule next season, ohh wee mayne.  That would make it worthwhile 

He’s got interviews already lined up with 3 teams already, definitely one of the hottest names out there. Jacksonville and Chicago are two of them meaning he’d either get to work with Lawrence or Fields. I’d think Jacksonville would make sense with him having made Blake Bortles look good.

Aww, fug.  I saw Jax was mostly looking at retreads like BoB and Pederson.  My parade has been rained on

Could this be the wake up call Tepper needs though? When Rhule comes asking for elite OC money for some trash candidate, probably his buddy Nixon?

I can only hope so.

I figured there would be a big fuss about the OC only to be left wondering who tf this guy is and where he came from.

If we can't convince a good OC to coach under Rhule, then you gotta just get rid of Rhule and bring in someone who can convince some decent coordinators to come with. It'll be interesting to see how many OC's turn the job down and how many FA's bail. Tepper won't be able to turn a blind eye to that kinda stuff

I don't know how we could strike out with Rhule here as head coach. I'd imagine every interview would start with:

 

"Look, I could go coach any college in the US, I don't have to be here because I'm highly sought after and the best coach of the generation. If you come here I'm the top dog, you'll help out where I see fit. So what do you think?"

 

Boom! Hired by this visionary of a coach

I feel that Tepper is smart enough to make sure the OC that is hired will be such a high caliber  football person he could take over the team if Rhule is ousted, which would be a win-win sitution.. 

I will admit that Tepper has made and allowed Rhule to make some glaring mistakes. I hope he has learned from these mistakes and will not make another one by allowing the wrong OC to be hired.

I can't see Rhule not trying to interfere as much as possible to convince Tepper to take another yes man. At that point Rhule would just be doing more harm than good, it's not even about the team to him it seems like

I wouldn't be so sure. He's fumbled every step of the way.

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
