I think the Giants wanted Rhule, but Carolina's stealthy operation to fly into Waco and offer a higher than high contract offer - more than the Giants were willing to pay for an unproven (on the NFL level) college coach, sealed the deal. Judge may end up being the better hire anyway... Seems to be well respected from what I've heard.

There was a report I heard on sports radio today saying that Rhule gave NY the opportunity to match Carolina's offer. Clearly a no go there. Rhule did turn Baylor around quickly and that program was about as low as could be. He will be intriguing at the pro level for sure. Many are quick to dismiss what he can do in the NFL, but he deserves a fair chance.

And now he will get it. I suppose, broadly speaking, coaching is coaching. However, the Big 12 (10) is a different animal than the NFL. Some college HCs transition just fine, and some do not. Only time will tell.

What's happening in NY is what would have happened here, had Bruce Allen stayed with the team in any capacity. Like it was the case here before, no major coaching candidates were thrilled to work with Gettleman.

In Rhule's case, I believe it came down to how much power he would have compared to Gettleman. Carolina was willing to give him more power than Gettleman was willing to do so.
