Potential head coaches with other suitors also know that. That's my concern right now. Rhule is going to leave us so gutted that anyone with other options is going to choose another option. You're basically dooming yourself to failure taking a job coaching a bad team saddled with limited roster building capital.

That's one way to keep your job. Make sure it's so bad no one else will want it.

Spoke w/ Mark Schofield yesterday. Mark does great work for USA Today, particular on the film side. He suggested Garoppolo would be a good scheme fit for McAdoo in Carolina, though I didn’t necessarily see it as endorsement by Mark for Carolina actually making that move. I do think there is some validity to the buzz the Carolina might try to pursue Jimmy G, based on prior and recent reporting from Breer, this analysis by Schofield, and my own sourcing. 

 

What is the point of giving away more picks and our future for a QB no better than Darnold. Look at Jimmy G's Oline top 5 and weapons (Better than ours) and coaching (Much better than ours) how the hell is he going to be anything but much worse??? What a joke we are. We have already tried this 3 times already....INSANITY.

Garoppolo originally played in an E-P under Josh McDaniels then went to a Shanahan style WCO under first Mike LaFleur then Mike McDaniel. So yeah, scheme fit at least makes sense.

If we get him, I'm guessing we're gonna need someone named McDaniel running the offense 😐

(or maybe someone named Mike) 🤔

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
