Ben McAdoo New OC

Couple of connections here. The obvious one is the previously discussed Tom Coughlin connection. Rhule and McAdoo both worked for Coughlin in New York.

McAdoo was also colleagues with Sean Ryan. Ryan was the receivers coach under Coughlin when McAdoo was his quarterback coach.

Might bode well for Tony Sparano as far as the OL coach job. He was on staff with McAdoo in Jacksonville as the assistant line coach (so was Gruden).

The Jags full time line coach was a guy named George Warhop. He's got a pretty long résumé and should be available. If we go back to Tom Coughlin connections, there's Pat Flaherty out of New York.

There's also guys like Doug Marrone, Juan Castillo, Mike Munchak, James Campen and others but I'm not expecting us to go that route.

I mean, I get it; there's probably nothing short of firing Matt Rhule that will excite the fan base at the moment, but this doesn't mean McAdoo is automatically a bad hire. He's had some results as as an OC. I'm more interested in his philosophy (queue @Mr. Scot)!

Somebody did give evidence that he wasn't a fan of Sammy before Sammy became Sammy, so that speaks to some competence in QB evaluation (just to make you feel better).

He’s worked with some of the best QBs in  Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning, future HOFers. It’s been said the Rodgers really liked him and gave him a huge endorsement when he took the Giants’ gig. Say what you want about his fallacies as a HC, but there’s no questioning the man’s play calling abilities. Obviously, his success here will hinge on how well they fill the OL coaching vacancy and improve the OL and QB issues. Overall, a solid if unspectacular hire IMO.

    • If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment. 
    • I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
