I got news for you, if we can't attract good quality coaches, don't expect to be able to attract good quality free agents. 

And that will push us farther into the depts.  I hate to say it but I don't think we'll have as good a year, next, as we had.  Shame on me for saying that.  Fire that ass.

he has a lot of work to do to surpass the lameness of Foxy’s lame duck final season. that was an epic level of incompetence.

What they did to Fox was nasty.  He had no chance to succeed.  Richardson was preparing for the lockout and put it on Fox to win with nothing.

Probably the saddest season of our history.

8-9 wins this year and everyone will be back on board with Rhule’s plan. We’ll see if we get strong enough qb play to get there. Doubtful but depends on who we draft/pick up. 

Don't see that as too likely.

But even if it happens, no I won't be "back on board". Rhule is in over his head and a real NFL coach is needed.

I think the main reason Wilks came here is because there’s a realistic shot that he’s interim head coach by November and that can springboard him back into the coaching conversation. He really hasn’t been a top candidate since Arizona and he definitely feels as though he has some unfinished business only coaching one year.

This pretty much sums it up.

The Rhule experiment has failed and it seems like everyone except Tepper has seen that and accepted it. Now we all just get to sit back and watch more damage be inflicted before we do rebuild 2.0 under Tepper. The fact that he can't see that rebuild 1.0 has been a colossal failure when virtually everyone else has seen it and accepted it doesn't bode well for 2.0.

Not to mention the FAs this situation will attract are money desperate ones. I doubt anyone in their right mind will be like, “oh yeah, Rhule and no QB in Charlotte, NC sounds good to me”

I expect very little on the FA front and reaching in the draft.

Yep. No one with other comparable options is willingly coming here. The only FAs we're getting are the ones we're willing to significantly overpay.

Other NFL owners are probably as happy as can be with Tepper as an owner right now. He allowed Marty Hurney to hire a college coach that never beat a ranked team before he was fired, has kept him despite his greatest success being back to back 5 win seasons. Nothing says wanting to win like 10-23. A .300 average is good in baseball I guess. 

Y’all will blame Hurney until the day he dies Smfh.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
