Rhule isn't safe. His departure from this team is part of a 2 year plan. He gets to close this season out for the tank. They're going to bring in an OC with NFL pedigree and take that side of the ball away from Rhule entirely. There's two reasons for it. One is that the original staff that Rhule brought with him had virtually ZERO coaches with legitimate NFL experience and as a result, couldn't lean on their history to convince their offensive players that they were still in the game plan. Rhule's biggest mistake in my opinion was his staff selection. I would almost be willing to bet that whatever higher profile offensive play caller we bring in is also going to be something on paper that indicates the line of succession will go through them. Associate Head Coach, or some other variation of the term. 

Our QB situation became by degrees harder to solve with Darnold's 5th year option being picked up. I think he goes into next season in a competition with a QB we draft in the 3rd or 4th round. He'll get 3 or 4 games and if he falters again, Rhule will be fired and Darnold will be done. Whoever our OC is will take over as interim head coach, try to see what they have in the rookie and try not to worry too much about the record in order to set us up to draft the solution with an entirely new regime, cap space galore, and a damn solid defensive core to build on. It will be a high profile destination next offseason, but not this one with as muddled as the waters are now and the fact that we're kind of married to Darnold for one more season. 

yea I was worried about his staff choices from the get go

Per Ellis? LOL. He’s watching TV, not getting inside info. 

Yeah, how are you. Happy Sunday. I do have some Intel, and a couple of sources on the situation, but no, this was not my reporting. I was quick to grab it, and share it with our friends on Twitter. 

Have a great afternoon, and hope all is well.

Is there any hope one of these OC candidates blows Tepper away and he moves on from Rhule?

That doesn’t even make sense.   We aren’t going to be able to hire a rockstar OC because we have a lame duck  HC….with no QB or OL.  

So you are going to give Rhule a bunch of time to prove he can’t do it and then do what fire?  Fire him months from now?

      Unlikely, UNC fans don’t even care that Mack has owned Duke because at the end of the day it’s about winning the ACC, not beating Duke. If your only focus is on beating your rival then you’ll end up content year after year like NCSU fans. Now if we were a playoff contender then I’d definitely be upset but this is just a bad UNC team that can’t be saved by Sam Howell or Drake Maye.

      The way to beat this Bengals team is  physically: power running and ball control. You're not going to out-air them. There was a game last year where the ravens tried and burrow  readily out-dueled jackson. They have too many weapons. I believe Higgins returns this week. They're also down Trent Brown so Mims will see his first start. This game will tell us whether or not our O-line is legit.

      Everyone knows I dislike UNC (their basketball program; love their academics) but they are really doing a disservice as a football program. I’ve always thought them to be a potential sleeping giant and stand by the concept that they can be dominant in football or basketball. Not both simultaneously.   UNC will reach a crossroads when they enter the SEC where they may have to choose. There’s no reason why UNC can’t be competitive in the SEC in football but it may come as a cost to the relevancy of their basketball program. They’ll either be Kentucky 2.0 or reverse prioritize their programs ala Auburn.    It’s no secret the SEC wants to secure the Carolinas and their markets.
