Gruden will only take the job if there's a chance he'd be head coach by mid-season. 

But it also shows how far he's fallen since his head coaching gig. He wasn't the guy his brother is, for both the good and the bad.

 

There is a huge chance Rhule gets fired before the season is over.

So in a league where teams are moving to less verbiage in their playcalling so they can move faster and the QB can concentrate on what he has to do rather than spitting the playcall out...we are thinking about going with a guy who runs a system with the longest playcall verbiage.

And for a team that is looking for its next QB and might end up with a guy who's green...we are going to give him an OC with needlessly wordy playcalls.  And as we are looking at college kids, we have to take into account many of them have never even had a playbook before and they didn't run a ton of plays.  But we have an OC who "narrows down" the weekly gameplan to "only" 150 plays to focus on.

He's the best out of the lot they interviewed so far. At least he has called plays in the NFL and been to the playoffs multiple seasons.

only thing I wonder is did he intentionally take a year off after the disaster that was the 2020 Jaguars or is there just not a lot of interest in him

I’ve heard Jay’s a bad HC, not OC. Honestly this is going to be as good as it gets. He has experience in the league as a coordinator and coach. We could do worse. 

So 3 wildcard losses with the Bengals/Andy Dalton. One wildcard loss with Cousins in DC. Wonder if he'll try to get Cousins down here

Wishful thinking my friend.  Wishful thinking 

to be sadly honest, if he should win plus two game next year, he will be back 

that ‘bromance’ of the sweaty, short order fry cooks continues

Then it would be unprecedented. While there have been coaches that have survived 2 really bad years. The 3rd year being bad almost always results in a coaches firing. 
If Rhule doesn’t make the playoffs next season, he won’t, and he isn’t fired the Panthers will be reaching Browns levels of ineptitude. 
Maybe Rhule gets a 4th or 5th year. But I doubt it since bad coaches never survive 3 bad years.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
