Wasn't it literally the equivalent of a photo-finish with the last second call to Tepper to see if he'd match Cleveland's offer? It's understandable that it was missed. Everyone was shocked at Cleveland--no one called that one.

We were actually eliminated first In the final four (don't remember if it was before or after Cleveland was brought back in).

The call to Tepper did happen though.

Person suggested Tepper needed to be sure he wasn't bidding against himself. If Albright is correct, sounds like that might be a caution for Denver now.

The problem for Tepper I think is not the draft picks but the 110m contract over 5 years. If he gets past that, I wouldn't be surprised that he's highly interested and Payton moves to round two

Heck, if there are some young proven coaches who will not require $20m and 2 first rounders, I say go for it.  Look at the following:  Shanahan, Sirianni, McVay, Z. Taylor, Saleh--impressive.  All 43 or younger.  Heck, lifelong coordinators like Daboll, McDermott, and Campbell (all in their late 40s) are impressive so far.

I would say that the NFL has changed more in the past 10 years than any other decade in its history--maybe an older coach is not the best answer.

Actually, most of the speculation suggests the problem is the amount of power Payton wants.

Yea I don't think Watson wanted to go to Cleveland and when he got what he was looking for his agent called Carolina (probably the other teams as well) and went well.... 😂😂😂😂

If he wanted the power everyone thinks he wants,  he wouldn't be flying to Arizona and interviewing with a team that just hired a new GM that is going to have roster control.

Aside from the situation in New England, when has giving the coach complete oversight been successful?  Not a critical question--I really do not know the answer.

Depends on the coach...

It worked with Carroll, but Carroll's not a control freak.

Obviously, it didn't work with Rhule.

Beyond that, there aren't a whole lot of teams using that model anymore.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
