Remember Dave Gettleman ?

yep. probably the reason it should be a committee instead of a singular advisor.

When you mentioned one guy, for some reason I thought you meant one guy.

sorry...wasn't suggesting him or the one man search team. it just made me think about him. hadn't thought about him in a long time.

hire a guy from a team and expect him to not suggest someone he's worked with recently?

Honestly, we need a search committee to help us choose who will be on our search committee.

The organization needs an enema. 

I can't be the only person who thought of this, right?

Hurney handled money, but Rhule was completely Tepper's decision. Thus why this post exists, b/c he fuged up the first time.

It's been noted that Hurney hired him before Tepper even knew what was going on. A real GM would have seen through Rhules BS. Hurney not so much.

Do search committees really do any better job at finding coaches?

It's easy to second guess the process once you know the results.

Would a search committee have hired Jimmy Johnson for the Cowboys?  Mike Tomlin for Pittsburg? 

I'm not saying Rhule is the answer, or that Tepper needs to make the decision all on his own, but when it comes to finding a coach or even a QB, more times than not you are wrong.  I'm more interested in how you handle it once you realize it isn't working.

No. He hires Eberflus, Hackett or Daboll he wins.

Stay away from the wild card hires! 

My gut tells me he will get a wild hair in his ass and hire some odd ball.

The Steelers had Kevin Colbert running their search. We had David Tepper. And the results break down accordingly.

I don't necessarily care if there's a search committee choosing the next head coach or not. It just needs to not be Tepper.

Single selections are a bit of a small sample size. 

Here again, I'm not saying Tepper needs to make the decision, I'm just saying people are drawing some absolute statements from a singular decision that are never really absolute.

on a side note, did Colbert make the final call on Tomlin?  or Rooney?

 

 

[Jared Patterson]

The scary thing if Rhule is coming back is he is going to absolutely force the issue at QB........

[HammerinCameron]

This is premature. Cam is going to save Rhule.

[mc52beast]

Y’all going to be very depressed when 2022 rolls around and Matt Rhule is still the HC.

As for a search committee, can we get one together with people who know about o-lines??

Some would say the NFL.

The decision was up to Colbert. It came down to Tomlin and then Steelers assistant Russ Grimm. Conspiracy theorists say the NFL pushed for Tomlin "in the spirit of the Rooney Rule".

No idea whether there's any validity to that, but the decision worked out regardless, so...
