People around here overreact 

 

If they actually read, listen, etc.

Whatever he can bring to the table, I am happy to wait and see. I'm actually excited again. It CANNOT be worse than another year of Riverboat Ron.

Pretty cool insight to his methodology.

It took 3 seasons for him to turn Temp,e and Baylor into winners. 3 seasons in, only your seniors aren’t guys you recruited. The team is 75% yours. How exactly is it supposed to take years and years longer if you’re good at recruiting?

Right now, college coaches are mostly recruiting for 2021 not this year, so he may have had 2 classes of his players but even then it takes years (he moved from Pennsylvania to Texas so he hadn't even developed most of those new high school recruiting relationships yet) to recruit guys. His sophomore class may have technically been his but probably not his top choices.

If he could bring that mentality to the Panthers that would be awesome.

Nice clip, thanks. That last thing he says reminds of a quote I heard from Tony Bennett at UVa. He said "If you learn to use it right, the adversity, it will buy you a ticket to a place you couldn't have gone any other way." (don't think it was his originally but you get the point).

Yes but different era.

Mack Brown won a bowl game his first season.  #notimpressed

Mostly kidding. I like that he turned those programs around, however, those 2-10 and 1-11 records are a bit concerning. You’d think a great motivator, leader, and game-planner could do a little better than that even if the roster wasn’t great. Isn’t that what we want, a guy that can get the most out of players and win even with inferior rosters? Temple isn’t playing a power 5 schedule and there had to have been at least a couple more beatable cupcakes on Baylor’s schedule. Correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t check what the schedules actually were, just an educated guess.

All this tells me we should probably buckle in for a rough period.

This is not a "win right now" type hire. This is a guy who's known for rebuilding programs from the ground up.

Rhule has had two head coaching jobs, each in college. In each instance, he took an awful program and made them really good. 

Have a look:

TEMPLE

2013: 2-10

2014: 6-6

2015: 10-4

2016: 10-3

 

BAYLOR

2017: 1-11

2018: 7-6

2019: 11-3

 

And this is college, where it is infinitely more difficult than the NFL to turn around a program. No draft, no free agency. College recruiting takes so much more time. 

David Tepper must have saw something in Rhule that he just could not pass up to even interview other guys that he was interested in. 

 

Now is the time for optimism. This is a really good hire with tons of potential in rebuilding this franchise. 

It’s easy in college if you’re a good recruiter, recruiting means zip in the NFL.
