Tony Elliott turned us down in 2019, although that was likely due to the Rooney Rule. Pep Hamilton turned us down this past offseason because he expected to have better opportunities available.

I believe Leftwich turned down a HC opportunity this past offseason(Jags maybe? as well. 

It's not uncommon. Remember McDaniels turning down multiple opportunities?

Pretty sure Hamilton was contacted about being an OC under Rhule, not a head coach. Declining that job was obviously a damn good decision 😆

I know Ed Dodds interviewed for the GM job but pulled out afterward.

If you have paid attention to our previous coaching searches, you will notice that we were flatly turned down for interviews by some HC and OC candidates. 

Not every prospective coach wants any job out there. That happens every hiring cycle.

 

who? and how many?

What happens is every off season fans get caught up in a handful of names and think that is the only canidates out there.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Check the original post and you will see I said HC and OC.

I got that. I'm just not familiar with anyone declining the head coaching job.

Those positions and opportunities are so rare that I seriously doubt candidates turn down the offers frequently due to a bad roster or bad ownership.  I mean damn the jets and browns still get top candidates.  I think the issue of us not being and attractive job is massively overblown

Did Dodds pull out because he didn't like our "structure" (Rhule final roster control)?

It did happen once that I recall, with the Raiders. That's how they wound up with Lane Kiffin.

Only other example I can think of off the top of my head was Jim Johnson when he was the Eagles DC. There were certainly teams that were interested in him as a head coaching prospect but he didn't want the job.

Never said.

Dodds did say that he would only take a GM job he believed was the absolute perfect fit because he wanted that to be his only job for the rest of his career. Hard to believe working under Matt Rhule would fit that description.

Of course, now his current job might be in danger.

Also most open jobs have bad roasters, that is usually the main reason they have an opening to start with.

Does the occasional guy turn down a HC gig for various reasons, yes, but this idea that our roster situation will prevent us from finding a good candidate is laughable.

We might pick he wrong guy, but it won't be because we don't' have enough choices.

Declining the interview is basically the same thing. 

Leftwich did interview with Jacksonville and pulled out of the running when the second round of interviews came.

McDaniels accepted and then famously backed out.

The Leftwich story was weird. There was talk like he had accepted the job, but then the negotiations broke down. I'd love to know what all went on behind the scenes of that one. What did he want that they weren't willing to give?

McDaniels? I got to believe New England promised him he'd be Belichick's heir apparent but he ultimately got tired of waiting.

He actually had a least a decent chance to have been our coach instead of Rhule but Belichick forced him to stick around and delay his interview to finish up some bullsh-t assignment. It's easy to think them screwing him out of that chance might have been his last straw.

Here again everyone is talking about the rare exception.  For every McDaniel there are 10 guys out there that would take the job.

If we don't find a good coach its not going to be because we have no good candidates, its going to be because we picked the wrong one.

TBD. Good candidates don't typically gravitate towards dumpster fire organizations.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
