No more Watson threads. Use this one or one of the other 20 existing ones.

Giving the keys to the kingdom to a guy with 22 sexual civil suits.  Awesome idea

He's good. Taking a step back for the time being.

Mr Scot is a pretty reliable source of info--he knows his stuff.  I think it gets to him at times.  We older posters run out of patience at times and need a break.

Then I was just listening, Ben and other guy on there pretty much said they think he goes to Saints they have more to offer. Something happen today and it’s not in our favor anymore unfortunately. I think having Kamara and Thomas excites Watson more.

Makes sense b/c if Watson did come here then he would probably have to sit 6ish games...

I thought the same thing, but Florio (I think) mentioned that the commish could credit him with "time served" since he was benched last year.  We shall see.

Why fire Rhule now when the biggest HC candidates have already been snagged by other teams?

What happens when the Flores/Watson GOD TIER combo misses the Playoffs? Who the F will people around here blame then?

OMG STFU

I don’t think Bienemy is on anyone’s radar. He’s been inexplicably passed over by multiple teams with HC openings over the last few years. If any of this I’d true about Watson (which I think is highly doubtful and pure speculation), look for Brian Flores to be at the top of the list to replace Rhule.

If you look at his Wiki he's had a handful of legal issues that probably turn teams off at that level of responsibility.  Nothing major but weird hothead stuff. I think Watson working with the OC and Flores head coaching and working with Wilks on the defense would be a great situation as far as football goes

Mcadoo, Wilks, Campen, and Tabor could probably outcoach Rhule while still doing their coordinator jobs

Between the two teams I have no idea why any player would pick the Panthers over the Saints. The Panthers are legitimately an amateur organization.

They, like everyone, don’t have a clue about this. Even the Texans are refraining from leaking too much to drive up prices.

The "you pick the head coach" approach sounds alright until you get to the part where we inevitably hit a bump in the road and then that might not be so popular in the locker room. Everybody needs a scapegoat.

Supposedly he’s got some serious personal issues

Rhule won't be fired until after the season.  Tepper has already committed to Matt this season by NOT firing him to date.  It's too far in the offseason process to let him go now.

Campen a position coach obviously but he could still beat Rhule in a coach off
