Remember when Al Davis hired Kiffin? The rest of the league kinda mocked him. This is similar. The work of one madman. :scare:
Kiffin isnt a bad coach though. Just a bad human being who can't get out of his own way with a lot of money/freedom/power. Brilliant football mind though, and I think that is what Irsay, crazy as he may be, saw in Rhule.
I'm not banging the table for him. Just pointing out he was offered an NFL head coaching job, not an assistant position.
What he is WAS unknown. Had yet to be written. There wasnt a rational thought process in that hire. Irsay is replicating that model. Read ESPN articles on the internet and form your search list. Rhule is not on any non-demented GMs. He needs a track record first. This isnt a judgement on his brilliance or lack thereof. Its how things work.
