Tepper wanted McDaniels, but then got wind he wasn't all-in

[Snake]

I can't say enough how what he did to the Colts hurt his reputation with other owners. I don't blame Tepper at all. 

I also still believe that McDaniels thought teams would wait for him and bend over for him. So he ended up with only one choice.

Josh McDaniels has been passed up for many decent jobs that are open, want to know why? ask the Colts. McDaniels agent quit after McDaniels backed out.  There is nothing you can say again and be tanken for 100% after what he did to the Colts. I imagine many NFL owners didnt forget that. 

Browns may sign him just because they arent getting much interest because they fire people too fast. So it may be a match made there.

LOL at people who thought the Browns was a more attractive job than Carolina, any halfway decent Head Coach is gonna see the 12 head coaches in 20 years and say nope! thats and average of 1.6 years, pretty much you're Job expectance is to be fired Mid second season for you. lol

I agree 100 percent about the Browns job versus ours. I wonder if any Huddler will go on record by continuing the dumpster fire narrative about us, because the Huddle is the only place I hear such foolishness.

I don't believe Rhule was our first choice, and I don't believe we were his. We didn't even offer him a job until the next day. His wife & son's thoughts convinced him.

Believe what you want. That doesn't change anything.

It doesn't matter now. Drama is irrelevant.

Why does it have to be drama? It's just something interesting to talk about.

Afraid the smell test that this story actually passes is the "smells like bullsh-t" test.

Tom Curran and Mike Giardi have both confirmed things that negate her version of the story. Rapoport also confirmed at the time of the higher that Rhule and McDaniels were our top two targets.

They hired Rhule not because there was anything they disliked about McDaniels, but because they just met Rhule and really liked him.

McDaniels will be on the market again in three years anyway.  Maybe we'll be looking for an OC then.

If he goes to Cleveland, that would give him a place on the Coaches Wall of Fame--3 years is like riding a rodeo bull for 24 seconds.

I wanted a coach with NC ties. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that Rhule lived in NC for 4yrs and was intimately familiar with the Charlotte region. That's a big deal to me and probably why Rhule wanted 7yrs. This is a guy who WANTS to live here. Wants to come back, at least his son does.

[rippadonn]

I have a much greater bond with players and coaches who love Charlotte and choose to bring their families and settle down here.

Dell, Muggsy, Moose, Smitty, John Fox, Greg Olsen, Kemba, Pep.

I really think that if Cam planted his roots here some fans would be more on his side.

I feel sure that the fact Tepper felt  Matt Rhule had the it factor and was a true leader of men and someone that would remain loyal to a cause were leading factors to chose him over Josh McDaniel as our new head coach.

idk how you missed this exact post 3 days ago and everyone laughing at her.

To be fair some of the thread titles make it hard to see these things.  Missed this myself.

It will be interesting to see how long it would  take Josh McDaniel to wear out his welcome in  the fickle Cleveland organization if he becomes their new head coach.

Based on his time in Denver and Cleveland's recent history with head coaches, the answer is somewhere between 30 days after he shows up for work and about 8 game worth of the regular season.

An optimist about McDaniels thinks that because of his Denver stint and the Colts' meltdown, neither of which are his fault by the way, he is looking for a near-perfect situations.  He knows he has to make it work this time, despite the fact that he was a victim of circumstance in the previous two problems.

The pessimist thinks he walks with Lucifer, puts the screws to anything he touches without adult supervision, and cheats whenever anybody isn't looking.

The realist is alarmed by what he did in Denver and by the fact his agent walked out after the Indy mess. 

Great Xs and Os guys that tick off anybody they get in room with generally do not make great supervisors, managers, executives, or HCs.

On the subject of McDaniels, I am somewhere between a realist and a pessimist, and his every action pushes me more toward the pessimist.
