He will mesh seamlessly with Rhule's douchebaggery.

So if this happens what does Rhule bring of value to the team? This isn't a "program building" move. It's not like Mcvay getting Wade Philips at DC so he could focus on the new offensive ideas he was trying to develop. Rhules just like a micro mini GM/sideline hype man/time out waster?

I mean I guess it would go along with our lying ass coach we have.

[RumHam]

Didn't he have a ton of personal issues and severely lost the locker room in Washington?

[Shotgun]

Jay is probably as desperate as Rhule. After the way his bro went down, he might be having a hard time getting a job.

Ultimately there's always a place for underperforming, underqualified and outcast coaches on the panthers.

Believe so, but he may have improved in that regard.  Also may not be as much a problem for an OC.

I'm actually surprised because this is the kind of move that could actually save the offense, although I expect it won't happen (him taking the job or being able to rehab the shitstain we call an O). Certainly better than the other options we've heard about, anyway.

I don't want any of the Grudens anywhere near this franchise.

The dude was the Jags OC when they went 1-15. The 3 years he was with the Bengals he started with a rookie AJ Green and Andy Dalton. Granted Dalton isn't exactly a world beater, but he also had Andrew Whitworth in their prime on the OL.

As underwhelming as the other options might be, this one is just bad.

[Carl Spackler]

Wouldn't be the worst hire by any stretch, so forget about it.

They're all bad. It's this or the guy who couldn't win more than 3 games in a season at ECU.

If hired, let me be the first to welcome new 2023 Carolina Panthers Head Coach Jay Gruden.

Would be a good hire if the Falcons hired him

"The Carolina Panthers are continuing to talk to several folks about their open offensive coordinator job, but have already spoken and interviewed seven candidates - Mike Groh (Colts WRs coach), Scottie Montgomery (Colts RBs coach), Ben McAdoo (Cowboys consultant), Luke Getsy (Packers QBs coach), Tim Kelly (former Texans OC), Klint Kubiak (Vikings OC), and Jay Gruden."-FanNation.com 

So is Gruden the best man for the job when compared to the other 6 who have interviewed?

IMO I might put Getsy and Kubiak ahead of him (maybe Kelly too), but he does have more coaching experience and OC experience than most of the other candidates. I think that was the main criteria Rhule said he wanted.

Well if he doesn't bring Watson with him then sure, why not.

He is easy to not like and that makes it easier for me to keep laughing at this mess and the shmear job being done. The only good candidates won't even take an interview so we are talking about getting at best the top of the dregs.
