Maybe Gettleman knew he sucked and smokescreened how bad he wanted him to fug over his old team

This is one of the dumbest takes I've read on here in awhile. Do you really believe this?

Not my pick for coach, not by a long shot. However, I will be rooting for his success now that he is coach.

[TheRumGone]

Man. Last guy I wanted. Oh well, hope he has amazing success here.

Good article on this guy back in November for those you haven't seen it

Above story has info on expected OC/DC hires where ever Rhule lands. Not familiar with either guy....

 

Looking back at his time with the Giants... Two names stood out as potential coordinators: Sean Ryan and a former Panthers LB coach in Al Holcomb. Looks like Rhule will be bringing his DC from Baylor though

Man you guys need to read all the pundits with the Giants, they are stunned! It is absolutely hilarious. It looks like Jason Garrett to the Giants just got some beef to it, watch out.

Welp, we'll be looking for a new coach in a year or two. He was the next to worst choice behind McCarthy to me. I don't have enough hands to palm my face with right now.

This is going to be very interesting.  Tepper going outside the normal thinking in the NFL and going to either shake up the league or fall flat on his face.

When does he announce Eric Washington has been retained

[hepcat]

The Observer is calling it a done deal

A great image to use when he's fired too

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Like I said before, I want a HC who has HC experience, defensive and offensive coaching experience. I've found those coaches to be the best in the NFL

Rhule has coached offensively, defensively and special teams. The most well rounded coach out of all options. Idc about his head coaching record cause Temple and Baylor improved each year.

What's next if Rhule needs to hire the good coordinators. I have no problem with Wade as our DC. We need to stick with the 3-4

Keep Cam and draft oline

Panthers hired ex-Baylor coach Matt Rhule as head coach.

Rhule was initially set to interview with the Giants on Tuesday but apparently kept off the plane after Panthers owner David Tepper spent Monday in Waco with the Baylor coach and his family. While it will undoubtedly take a full reload to put the Panthers back on the map, Carolina's vacancy had to be more intriguing than the Giants' gig given Rhule's proven track record of building organizations from the ground up — most recently Baylor University's. A quick agreement from both sides also entails the 44-year-old has CEO duties, especially since Tepper has reportedly agreed to help Rhule build a sports science/recovery program similar to the one he created at Baylor. Current Lions QBs coach Sean Ryan was Rhule's choice for OC last year, so expect the former to jump ship in the coming days.
