"Titans OL coach Munchak appears to be the favorite to become the teams next head coach. He has already turned down three offers this year to take position with other teams which included the Carolina Panthers head coaching job, per Adam Schefter."

Now this would have been an interesting hire.....the Panthers had a deal on the table and were turned down....imagine if this hire had happened.....we would have a completely different outlook then....

What this really says to me is......Rivera was not the first choice and may not have been the second or third....

the guys they were interested in they went out and interviewed and then they hired the guy they liked.

move on.

Correction.

The guys that were interested in the Panthers, they went out and interviewed and they hired A guy they liked.

If this report is correct, Rivera was never THE guy, he was A guy. The question is how many guys were there ahead of Rivera?

unless you would rather just live a paranoid existance and believe that there is some massive consipracy going on.

Now that's just silly.

I'm only suggesting Rivera was not the top name on the list and that the Panthers may have settled. It's a fair suggestion considering the report that has been blasted all over ESPN as a fact. If a deal was on the table and refused, then that sounds like an important little tid bit of information.

I would hate for Richardson to be hiring whatever he can find available, rather than actually assembling a quality coaching staff that meshes together. I'm already concerned that Rivera doesn't have enough control or even input into the coaching staff selection process.

Yes men bother me. I pray that Rivera is not Richardson's yes man.

Do you people have short term memory loss or something?

Rivera was the first person they interviewed, and all the other candidates said they didn't even feel like they had a shot because Rivera was a shoe in for the job. If that doesn't scream "THATS THE GUY WE WANT!" I don't know what does.

You really think we wanted some OC over a highly touted DC?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
