You might not like the hire but Rhule was one of the top coaching candidates that hiring cycle.

Not all of us. A lot of us actually see coaches with no experience or WR/Special Teams coaches become head coaches before well qualified ones do. Then, once they fail miserably in their first year, they are not fired like some of these experienced coaches are,  they are allowed to keep their jobs. Some of us see this every year. So, no, we all were not thrilled to get him. I'm calling out Joe Judge too. How are these clowns still employed? When they get canned, they will be allowed to get job after job after job in the NFL. Rhule and Judge should have been fired after year one and never seen again, like some of these "other" coaches. end rant...

That's why teams have to do their due diligence and not allow themselves to get caught up in "top coaching candidate" hype that is often next to meaningless.

Hell people here were proping up Hurney as 2.0 and didn't see the irony or wrongness lol. Well liked around the league lol.

 

Marty Hurney. A joke of an NFL hire. Only in America can a person go from newspaper beat writer(Washington) to GM of an NFL team. You can't make this stuff up. With the latest allegations to come out about hiring practices in the NFL, I'm ashamed to say that I love the league. A BA in General Studies can go a long way in this country, huh?

That guy had 2 stints, 14 years here and is still employed in the league.

There is no fugging way any of this makes sense unless you admit it's a broke system. It's 31 teams owned by billionaires that are guaranteed profit toys. No matter what, they win.

Wasn't it Ron Rivera who hired Marty Hurney in Washington?

What were Ron's motivations for doing so were?

I didn't know head coaches hired executive vice presidents of football teams. Even if what you said is true and head coaches had that power to hire people above their pay grade shows you how messed up these hiring practices are. It's not true, but it doesn't take away the fact that this former beat writer is employed as an executive of an NFL team. You can't explain it but call it for what it is. The Good 'Ole Boy Network is working properly. The jokes write themselves.

Ron is one of a handful of minority NFL coaches...so what's wrong with his decision making?

He now a "Good Ol' Boy"...?

I don't believe you bro or sis. You will have to show me where a head coach hired an executive vice president of an NFL team. I've searched, but haven't found any receipts where a head coach, Ron Rivera, hired an executive. Head coaches hire their staffs for the most part but I've never been aware of them hiring executives. Will you please show me? Please? Thank you in advance.

So it's just a coincidence they both ended up in the same place?

Speak for yourself, I was never a fan. I'm just not that into college coaches.
