Damn, was that only one year in Denver or....? I know a ton of people wanted him here. See, this is what scares me about hiring an offensive guru type guy. WE either get a Sean McVay or we get a Josh Mcdaniels/Hackett type. Wonder what odds are on getting a successful guy or a failure, 50/50?

Exactly. The Vikings seem to have hit the jackpot but that is not always going to happen. I am warming up to Wilks bring HC next year

Hackett has also struggled at just about every non-Green Bay stop(save for one out of three years in Jacksonville).

I think people gave Hackett way too much credit for something he deserved very little of in Green Bay.

I agree. Is Russ a particular type of QB that can only work in certain environments? yes.  And does he deserve some blame? yes.

But then as a HC, it's part of your job to identify that and develop an offense and team that works with that QB. ESPECIALLY given the investment.  Hackett was so bad, it's not even funny.

Yeah and we have an OC now that is incapable of tailoring an offense to the strengths of various players, so this should look familiar.

That isn't to say Wilson isn't largely responsible for stinking it up and embarrassingly so after manufacturing the Seattle exit.

But Hackett was just terrible.

This is why I’m leaning towards Wilkes being the head coach. Especially if the Panther win these last two games.  We can always go the coordinator route if Wilkes doesn’t work out.  Especially when there’s no guarantee with a coordinator and can result in more lost seasons anyway.  So you roll with Wilkes instead.

Now that Rhule and Hackett are gone, who is the worst remaining NFL head coach?

Kingsbury? Dennis Allen? Who else?

Allen and Kingsbury are the worst in the league at the moment. I hope the Saints stay the course, and keep Allen

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
