Was Rhule forced by Tepper to hire experienced coaches?

[Camp Fodder]

Who knows. He’s been MIA since the season ended

I think one of the unforeseen benefits of having a more extensive history in the NFL as opposed to coming in pretty much off the street (which is essentially what Rhule did) is having a network. Rhule had none, which is why he went with what he was familiar with....coaches and players from colleges he had coached himself. 

And also why he went for Darnold. How many teams had Rhule interviewed before? Well 2018 there was the colts. Next year the Jets, then us the following to year. 

Thats also about the limit of his familiarity with teams and players in the pros. Yeah, sure there was that season where he was the ass line coach an eternity ago.

But his limited experience and familiarity with players in the league brought him back to really the only QB in the NFL he didn't coach that he had any familiarity with, Sam Darnold. 

The smaller your circle, the smaller your world. Small world translates to limited ability to compete in a bigger world.

Makes a lot of sense...

While rare being a coach, but is Rhule the most overpaid man in sports?

[SizzleBuzz]

No.

The model dictates that this sort of management challenge is faced in a collaborative manner and all the key exec's (Tepper, Rhule, Fitterer, Morgan) were involved...that's just how it works.

___________________________

Only Blackburn and Okam haven't been picked up at this time. Okam isn't a shock. Wait and see on Blackburn.

Here's an update I wasn't expecting to see...

Okam joins Josh McDaniels staff in Vegas 

(gotta wonder if maybe Jason Simmons put in a good word for him)

So at this point, three of the four coaches Matt Rhule fired have found new jobs. Only Chase Blackburn remains unemployed.
