Here is how I see it---Rhule should have been fired at the end of the season, but he was not.  Nor did the owner give him any assurances or votes of confidence--a bit odd, if you ask me.  If Tepper fired Rhule, the search for a new coach would have followed, and since his eye was still on Watson, he did not want to hire a coach that would cause Watson to play elsewhere--giving him the option to name a coach (within reason) in an effort to get him to waive a "no trade" position was smart.  So unless Watson picks Rhule, Rhule is likely gone--if we sign Watson.  

Would be absolutely hilarious if we acquired Watson tomorrow and Tepper immediately fired Rhule and we hire Bienemy or something

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
