To think the J-E-T-S had a chance to hire Ruhle last year but told him he could not hire his own assistants. We get stuck with Adam Gase.

Hoodie boy? Looks more like a little league coach.

Does anyone still believe that NFL head coaches (MLB managers, for that matter) are autonomous and call their own plays, or write their lineups? They’ve all become slaves to analytics and the nerds who text them in plays, pitches during a game. McCarthy in Dallas will do no better than Garrett based on Jerry Jones and his meddling.

The Browns are interested in McDaniels, not Rhule. So if he is still available this may be encouraging news for the Browns.

And then Gase orchestrated the ouster of the GM - after the draft and free agency. I can't figure out what sort of voodoo this guy uses to get / keep such power in the NFL. He is famous for being Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator ... come on. Manning was the real OC and everyone knew it. Easiest job in football which he parlayed into a season a very mediocre offensive coordinator performance for the Bears which he parlayed into an objectively terrible head coaching performance for the Dolphins and now the Jets.

One of those coaches where if you look at their actual resume you find one minor thing that's not actually all that special that has carried them for half a decade.

This story is all over the sports news in NYC.

Ruhle was scheduled to have an interview with the Giants today, and the Panthers hired him before he could even get on a plan to New York.

The sports radio guys are describing this as a devastating setback for the Giants, but I'm not sure why he even would have been their #1 choice to fill their head coaching vacancy. Ruhle has to be bought out of his Baylor contract, and the rumor is that this will cost at least $15M. So the team that hires him will have to pay him something like $6M to $8M per year to coach the team, plus the cost of the buyout. And in the case of the Giants, they still have to pay their LAST coach for the next three years, too -- to the tune of somewhere around $4M to $6M per year.

The NYG are in a state of free fall. The ownership/mgmt suck. The Giants will end up with fired empty suit, Red Garret.
