Rhule was also a top choice for the New York Giants and they didn't want him to go there next. This guy better be good, for how many people wanted him.

I had to Google this guy, not gonna lie. This one kinda came out of left field. While it's probably their second choice, the New York Giants hired New England Patriots wide receivers coach Joe Judge​ as their new head coach on Tuesday.

New York Giants are finalizing a deal to make Patriots’ wide receivers coach Joe Judge their next head coach, league sources tell ESPN. Deal was in the works as of last night, which is another reason Matt Rhule took the Panthers’ HC job.

Bold strategy. His top pick for offensive coordinator? None other than Jason Garrett​.

Like JJ Watt, Alexander tore his pectoral muscle earlier this season and has been cleared to play in the postseason. Alexander tore his on Halloween. These people are mutants.
