By god, it’s Marty Hurney’s ghost…

Which is another reason I think Fitterer stays. He never got the chance to choose his HC. Rhule was Marty’s choice after he gorged himself on the meatballs. 

Rhule was Tepper's choice. Fitts was probably Rhules choice, hopefully he's gone too.

Who did he fly out there with?

The richest owner in the league personally flew out to meet a coaching candidate, and even sat in his driveway waiting for him to come home. Are you serious? Hurney would have hired someone within the league.

Marty led the search that picked Rhule as a candidate. And according to Tepper's own story, he was the first one to recognize that Rhule was "their guy" and they needed to go into "recruiting mode".

As far as Tepper flying out, that was largely for logistic reasons because Rhule's family was just returning from vacation. Tepper met personally with every single candidate.

I DEFINITELY wouldn't have given Rhule the contract that he had; but who's to say he didn't just look very great on paper and in person....and just couldn't execute. 

Hell, even Joe Brady when we got him was considered some sort of a genius and on that Sean McVay path, that a LOT of teams were taking seriously.

Joe Brady was a scapegoat for Rhule.

We actually scored and had an offense when he was here.  He deserved a lot better.

Hurney must have really wanted him to give him an unprecedented seven year 62 million dollar contract.

Poor Tepper. Marty made him fly all the way out there.
