The relationship between the Carolina Panthers and head coach Matt Rhule may be as fluid and uncertain as any in the league at the moment. So if you were Pep Hamilton, would that be particularly appealing to you?
As first reported by Aaron Wilson of Houston’s Sports Talk 790 on Tuesday, Hamilton turned down an interview request from the Panthers for their offensive coordinator opening. While there could certainly be a multitude of reasons for his choice—some of which may not even involve Carolina—the widely-respected quarterback whisperer may just want to finally take a load off.
While joining WFNZ’s The Clubhouse with Kyle Bailey this week, the Houston Chronicle‘s John McClain suggested Hamilton may have been turned off by the Panthers due to a few deciding factors. One may involve a promotion from the Texans to their play-calling post, and the other may have to do with Rhule being on shaky ground.
