We went to the trouble of firing Ron Rivera with 4 games left to get a jump start on interviews and it only yielded Mike McCarthy?

Firing Ron wasn't just about starting the interview process. He wanted to send a message to the team that mediocrity will not be tolerated. Sometimes you need to ruffle some feathers.

He also probably wanted to make sure Ron didn't pull some bullshit like last season and win a meaningless game and tank our draft position.

Because Tepper is a standup guy and he didn't want to be doing anything behind Riverboat's back.

Keep drinking the kool aide....  Its laughable to think Tepper can twist a sh.!.t show in to making himself look like the good guy....

You still can't interview potential NFL candidates who are employed until their season is over or they have a bye.

They could have interviewed college candidates but no absolute reason to rush there either.

And college interviews are usually not disclosed unless your the Dallas Cowboys.

I agree with OP.

If Tepper wants to learn a thing or two he should appoint Sam Mills Fan from the Carolina huddle as lead-head coach search planner.

Maybe he can take over the responsibility of posting a whiny bitch thread every three days too. The market is hot for those right now and SMF supplies us with the goods.

There is literally no other way to interpret the situation.

(unless one is suffering from delusional paranoia that is)

It sure looks like he's going to be the only guy we interview before the regular season concludes and it's a free-for-all for all teams out of the playoffs. I'm confused as to why we went the dramatic route of firing Rivera so far before the end of the regular season if the only guy we were trying to beat other teams to was Mike McCarthy. Any explanation?

Higher draft pick? Which was a smart move imo.

Let’s flip the question. What would keeping Rivera and scratching and clawing to 7-9 have done (other than falling 5 spots in the draft)? Any explanation?

Were you even a fan in 2010? Do you understand strategic tanking? I mean 3-4 teams do it every year.
