Beautiful time of year to play golf here in Texas. I’ll get in a few rounds. Spend time with my wife. Practice my guitar. Go out to brunch. Read up for a new cert I’m trying to get at work

Rhule knows he’s getting fired or he’s already got another job lined up. He doesn’t give a sh*t anymore

I agree. They seem in over their heads. At times in 2011 and 2012, Rivera’s teams didn’t look great either. Ron made tons of rookie coach mistakes including calling a timeout to let the Saints kick a FG before halftime once. But they tended to be in almost every game and blew it at the end. Those teams showed a lot more progress than Rhule’s squads. And we obviously had a franchise QB still learning the ropes. With no franchise QB tying a coach here it would be easier to move on from Rhule than it would from Rivera in 2012 IMO.

Desperation is a hell of a drug

I'm surprised we haven't seen PJ more in the past two weeks honestly. Cam can still obviously play a part in the offense, especially in the red zone. But I just can't see how he's a full time starting option after less than 3 weeks on the roster. If they bring him back next season and he has a full offseason in whatever offensive coordinator's system they have, I'm sure he'd look better. I feel like they ran the same 3-4 formations and ran the same plays over and over because he only knows like 20% of the playbook at this point.

I’m sure if you polled the fanbase Week 13 in 2012 it would have said the same thing about Rivera. Rhule still has 5 games to turn it around. I don’t expect them to win another game. But if they run the table and finish 10-7 I’m on board with keeping him.

That discussion should have been had in Spring 2020

I agree I feel like if they drafted Jones he would have looked like a moron here.

I have been hoping for a team to move to Central Texas since the Raiders talked about moving to San Antonio

Don’t get to beat up on Liberty university for a win in the NFL.

I don’t really have a good answer to this. “Team building” was what we were sold on.

He has to or else the fanbase will abandon the team. We already showed our influence with Cam being brought back, a move many thought would never happen

Do you remember the Giants or Patriots game?

He might not have the capability to be a good NFL head coach and just doesn’t give a sh*t. Probably has college teams inquiring about his availability already

He hired Matt Rhule after lobbying for Tomlin to be fired. I guess you’re saying he might have learned more since the Rhule failure?

Well we knew that after the Giants game. This team has lost to the entire NFC East and the freaking Dolphins. We suck.

He hasn’t.

I love Cam. I think he deserves this chance to come back and right the wrong of him being cut too soon by a franchise that didn’t appreciate him. But he got signed less than 3 weeks ago. The fact is he might just not be comfortable enough in this offense to be starting the full games. PJ looked good when he had a gameplan and weeks worth of prep to start a game. I thought we’d see more of PJ after signing Cam and utilizing both of their strengths. Who really expects PJ to look good coming in at the end of a lost game when everyone on the team has given up? But honestly neither of these QBs are going to take this team to the playoffs or maybe even win another game with all the other issues on this team. At least we got to see Cam in a Panthers uniform again, and that is the best part of this miserable season.

My message to him is fire the current staff and let the NFL professionals he has hired in Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan fix this mess.

Tepper doesn’t like Tomlin. He lobbied to have him fired when he was a Steelers minority owner

I don’t blame him for being out. This team is ass and the people here are toxic when we are losing. Personal insults galore.

I like it. Rhule would be good at Oklahoma. As soon as I saw Riley was leaving I thought Rhule has to be eyeing that position. I’m not sure LSU is going to turn over their program to Joe Brady though. He’s not proven as anything as a coach as of now. Brady might be heading back to the Saints coaching staff IMO. I like Eberflus a lot. Defense would shine under him with the talent they have here. Hire an up and coming offensive coordinator from the NFL and we might have a team.

Welcome back

You have to wonder if Rhule really ever wanted to coach this team. He seemed pretty content at Baylor, had a nice house and his family was comfortable there. But Tepper threw so much money at him it’s hard to say no. I mean who could blame him? But this is what happens when you hire a guy who might never have wanted the job in the first place.
