#MikeMcCarthy, #KellenMoore, #MikeNolan and #JohnFassel. These guys have gotten too much hate this year. I have a few reasons why they need the respect they deserve... Mike McCarthy- This man has dealt with a CRAZY amount of injuries in the most important positions on the football field. The “best backup QB in the league” sucked ass lol. The Nooch is the 🐐, but also trash. He FINALLY gets serviceable QB play and almost beats a 7-0 team. He’s empowered the coaches beneath him to run his schemes and truly operates at a corporate level. The players play HARD for him and finally seem like they’re bought in. He’s a great coach imo. Kellen Moore- Echoing most of what I said about McCarthy, what is Kellen supposed to do with trash QB play? Look what happens when it’s average-below average. He knows how to run offense. Mike Nolan- Now, I know this is controversial, but I’ve been saying it all year. Most of the defensive struggles were NOT his fault. I’ve been consistently saying that all season. Look what happens when players get healthy and most importantly finally stop being babies about his scheme. Just do what the coach tells you. We have the biggest crybabies in football on our defense lol. Imagine that, you do what coach tells you and you’re all of a sudden in position to make plays 😳. Just trust the process. John Fassel- This man has quietly put together a fun and effective special teams unit. He was getting blamed for Chris Jones being the worst punter in football 😂. Looks what happens when he gets a real punter for one game lol. Also, the trick plays, coverage lanes and blocking schemes he comes up with are genius 🧠. He’s a great special teams coach and deserves the credit Y’all tell me where I’m wrong #howboutthemcowboys #nflnews #coaching https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYJMbsllaC/?igshid=16k7514jdv5d4

Even after Joe Judge‘s standout interview Monday led to him becoming the Giants‘ head coach, the franchise still had Matt Rhule as their preferred candidate. The Panthers‘ seven-year, $62MM offer to the Baylor head coach essentially prompted the Giants to fold their hand on this front, with Ralph Vacchiano of SNY noting Big Blue balked at the contract length and salary. Rhule’s $8.9MM salary makes him the sixth-highest-paid coach in the league — behind Bill Belichick ($12MM per year), Pete Carroll ($11MM AAV), Jon Gruden ($10MM), Sean Payton ($9.8MM) and John Harbaugh ($9MM). The Panthers also paid Baylor a $6MM buyout, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. Just months ago, Rhule agreed to an extension with the Big 12 program. Here is the latest from the coaching front: * In addition to missing out on the Ron Rivera boat, the Giants wanted to speak with Mike McCarthy again, Vacchiano adds. The Cowboys swooping in prevented such an opportunity. * Big Blue received a ringing Judge endorsement from Belichick, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com notes (video link). The former Giants defensive coordinator and six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach called the Giants to sell them on Judge’s credentials, despite his non-traditional candidacy as a special teams coordinator. * Shifting to McCarthy’s Cowboys staff, the team is expected to hire Rams special teams coordinator John Fassel to the same position, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets. Fassel’s contract was up. The second-generation NFL coach will relocate to Dallas after spending eight seasons with the Rams. Fassel came over from the Raiders in 2012, when Jeff Fisher took over in St. Louis, and stayed on with Sean McVay‘s team for three seasons. Fassel served as Rams interim HC in 2016, after the franchise fired Fisher. The Rams are losing their DC and ST coordinators, with Wade Phillips also out of the picture. * Other candidates have surfaced to relocate to Texas. Cowboys assistants expect Saints linebackers coach Mike Nolan to be named Dallas’ new defensive coordinator, Albert Breer of SI.com notes. Nolan was the 49ers’ head coach in 2005, when McCarthy served as San Francisco’s OC. Additionally, Redskins defensive line coach Jim Tomsula is on McCarthy’s radar, per Pelissero (on Twitter). Tomsula was the 49ers’ HC in 2015 and has been the Redskins’ D-line coach since 2017. * The Bengals and special teams coordinator Darrin Simmonshave agreed to an extension, Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports (on Twitter). A longtime Dolphins ST boss, Simmons interviewed for the Bengals’ HC job last year and joined Cincinnati’s staff as a key assistant after the top job went to Zac Taylor. Despite Cincinnati’s 2-14 record, the team ranked first in special teams DVOA under its first-year leader. #JohnFassel #BillBelichick #MikeNolan
