I'm supposed to believe the 39year old runnings back coach of Clemson turned down an interview to make tens of millions of dollars as a head coach in the NFL

 

Probably didn't want to be the token Rooney rule interview

People he knows probably told him he wasn't a serious candidate

I've seen this being reported  over the years

[electro's horse]

i also turned down an interview to be the hc of the panthers

you heard it here first guys

It turns out that not all black people enjoy liberal tokenism.

Here’s the full segment. Some pretty good information, honestly. This isn’t a hot take show. This is a credible roundtable. 

 

Bad look for NFL owners.  Not like it didn't just happen here with the Hurney re-hire.

It's germane to the topic.  Elliott felt like the request was insincere, and he's probably correct.  People want to be judged on merit, not skin color.

Who is Tony Elliot? Lol

Let's try the pee wee football coach stacking melons at Ingle's then...maybe he would accept.

Its great to know that Tepper is reaching into all areas to uncover the next coach.  Elliott’s is making a big mistake if he thinks this is merely a Rooney Rule interview.  Tomlin had one year DC experience when he basically came out of nowhere and blew the Rooneys away.  IMO this is exactly the type of candidate that Tepper is trying to find. 

[Harbingers]

If we keep getting turned down that speaks volumes about Hurney and/or Tepper.

He isn’t the RB coach. 

He is the co-OC

all coaches don’t go for “promotions” just because.   Because a lot already have good jobs and don’t want to run out the door to potential bad spots for them. 

Look at Clemson’s DC for example.  Arguably the best DC on all of college football.  Dude could of been a HC years ago if he wanted it.  

I’m not actually buying this story.  Panthers still have to find a way to check off the Rooney Rule and Elliot might be looking to do some PR for himself and start building his name as the other OC just took at HC gig.

OC for the best college football program in the nation

May have sensed Rooney Rule interview, but I doubt that.

More likely, wants to be a head coach one day, probably on the collegiate level.  Just speculation.
