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

The fact that it's New Orleans makes this even more important you get him on a plane to Charlotte to keep that weapon out of their hands. What a conundrum. How convenient.

Imagine being so fuging dysfunctional of a franchise where a once in a lifetime deal for a player falls through because you kept a sorry ass head coach so the player you were trading for picks a team with what is essentially a fuging interim over the one you kept employed.

I've found myself saying this following statement a lot over the last 27 years or so, but here it goes again:

"Only the Carolina Panthers"

Multiple great qbs have turned us down because of this coach. fug tepper

bucs bring back brady yesterday and the saints are bringing in Watson today. no one will ever live to see the panthers ever win anything in the NFL. I am sad.

Thank you! Rapsheet said he wants to sit down with both teams, I haven’t hesrd that happen yet, we will know more tomrw. Based off what I’ve read from Texans fans, the Texans FO loves our offer, Watson just wants to talk to coaches and owners. It’s not over.

No, you're right...  no one knows, but what is known is how fate and the league have royally buttfuged this franchise at every turn, so we know how it usually ends.

Looks like Ellis deleted the tweets about allbright stating tepper said he would give Watson power to choose next head coach 

Oh yes, and let me explain my reasoning behind that: I reached out to Albright, he responded back, because I wanted a little more clarity on what he meant by this. I was not on the zoom call, a couple of reporter friends of mine texted me about his comments. 

When I asked Benjamin for little more context, this was his response, and then he deleted it: 

Who are "Tepper's people"...??

Just out of curiosity, who is heading the negotiations? Is Rhule involved? 

I haven’t been given a direct answer from the team on that...

Did you ask?

Who do you call with "the team" to ask such a question?

Gantt?

The other guy?

Any number of people, but not Gantt —I only bother him for radio hits and Bojangles takes. 

But once again, thanks for taking an unusual interest in the granular details of my work. I hope you’re getting everything you need from me on this, in terms of fulfillment. Talk to you again in a few days, I guess.

Verge is reporting Tepper will give the aspects of organizational control that Deshaun wanted in Houston

Maybe @Vergeheard that part about Watson picking the next coach and that was the part that she posted her tweets about? 

Kind of. More so just general organizational control. Could that include head coach search? I don't know why it wouldn't. Will they simply fire Rhule and let Watson pick the head coach when he gets here? I don't see that happening.

Albright is saying NO has the edge now, is that true? If it is, will we still get a face to face meeting and will that matter?

Personally, I would find it awesome if they did; as dysfunctional as it seems, if Watson came in, asked them to can Rhule, and we immediately hire Flores from Pittsburgh.  Now logistically, I have no idea how that would work considering all of the new hires in the staff, and I can't imagine a guy coming into that situation, retaining the new hires for a year until he can pick his own staff.  But, honestly, at this point, idgaf.

So Watson gets to help make personnel decisions, like he did in Houston? That was what started their downfall.
