Bad time for bad coaching decisions.

No, it's called looking back at the person's past work, especially at the position we are hiring them at, and making an opinion based on that. I'm not going to poo on every person we interview or bring in just because Rhule is still here.

This is the problem

You can't base a bad head coach as your decision on whether he is a good coordinator.

There are several coordinators, both offensively and defensively, in this league that bombed out as a head coaches but are top tier coordinators.   McAdoo may not have been a great head coach but has history as a decent coordinator.  

My biggest fear is that Rhule can't let go of his connections with the NYG, Baylor or Temple.  That may be his comfort zone but closing his mind to others may be his downfall.

Not if you choose the right guy.

I'm saying with so many options, they choice maybe taken away from us because there are so few actually good candidates, that 'sometimes the answer is on your roster'(for this year)

And now, we'd be the 10th team looking, if we joined the mosh pit of this huge HC carousel

My personal favorite candidate hasn't been hired...yet, but he's gotten second interviews from two teams.

There are interview windows for those guys.

Much as we all hate it, I genuinely think he's determined to keep Rhule for at least this season.

Yeah at this point, they have already hired a coordinator for him. Plus next year my guess is a much smaller turnover at HC. Won’t be competing with as many teams.
 

Somebody years ago, wrote an article and said owners start looking for head coaches the year before they fire them. They gauge their interest in the candidates and see how they do the following season. For some reason this keeps coming to mind when I think about us.

Possible, but I'm not sure I'd credit David Tepper with being that smart.

    • This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.
    • they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now. 
    • He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
