Coughlin Advising Rhule on Panthers Staff

[Ship]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001096150/article/coughlin-advising-matt-rhule-with-panthers-transition

Like when he came to Texas and hired Texas people to help him recruit and build the program, Rhule is getting advice from Coughlin on his staff build. People may not like Coughlin's approach to players, but he knows how to build a program and will definitely help Rhule make smart choices in that area. Interested to see how it plays out and if Coughlin ends up here in some capacity or is just an outside friend helping.

That had been mentioned as a possibility. I definitely would take it as a positive.

Wonder if that winds up affecting the balance between ex-Baylor coaches and coaches with NFL experience (especially Giants coaches from 2012).

[Captain Morgan]

all for NFL experience coming aboard Rhule's ship.

good

Very good news

[The Lobo]

As long as he doesn’t become part of the staff, it’s a good move. 

[Jon Snow]

This is interesting.

[JawnyBlaze]

Very good, smart by Rhule. Coughlin turns every place he goes to around for the better...until his old school approach turns players off. Sounds like we’re getting the benefit of his expertise without the negative effects of him actually dealing with the players

[Dilla]

As long as Coughlin stays away from players, this is good. At the end of the day, he is a two time champion.

I think this rhule guy might be pretty smart

Assistant GM perhaps?  Coughlin knows football and how to build teams.  He's very old school as a coach and seen as abrasive.  I'd like him in a front office position though.  Maybe he could be the Yin to Marty's Yang.  Help the blind squirrel find a nut past round one.

Depends on the role.

He could stay on as an advisor to Rhule even if he wasn't on the official coaching staff.

As a coach or as an evaluator?

Coughlin was a decent talent evaluator during his first run in Jacksonville. They had some nice drafts

Minshew to Panthers incoming....lol..

Hope it’s just advice, he got fired to prevent a players revolt this season and made Jacksonville a place no one wanted to go.
