Matt Rhule - The most impressive thing he does

[GoPanthers123]

Most impressive thing is he is nothing like Ron.

Not sure it's been posted, but saw this, and absolutely LOVE it:

 

Cannot argue with anything he says here, and hope it translates to the players well.

Many things to like. One I’m most pumped about is player development. You aren’t winning many recruiting battles at Baylor or Temple. You don’t get better players, you make players better. Feels like our development process has been non-existent or has been so slow that we only see major success in a players contract year and then we can’t afford to keep them. I am hopeful. In Tepper we trust

turning around a college program is largely about being a good recruiter, a skill that is borderline meaningless to success in the NFL as a HC.

Do you follow college football/high school recruiting? Baylor and especially Temple do not recruit well at all. With this in mind, your post is not at all applicable to the Rhule hire.

read the rest of the thread, it'll catch you up to speed on that.

This was by far the weakest and softest DL/OL I remember in panthers history. We will see how this is going to work fixing that GIANT issue.

Short version, I'm more casual with college ball than pro, was already advised by others that Rhule's success at Baylor wasn't built on recruiting, which I regard as good news, cause it means his strengths are likely to be more transferrable. Been getting more enthusiastic about the hire as I learn more about him today.

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. 

What I would really love to know is what Mrs. Rhule believes the most impressive thing Matt Rhule does.... in the bedroom. 

[WOW!!]

Pretty cool insight to his methodology.

That interview let's me know he's going to love Cam.. If he gets a healthy one is the problem but he seem to like players who love the game and fight thru adversity.. And that's Cam to a tee..

Yeah but. He said in his presser after this year's Sugar Bowl loss, 10 of 11 starters on defense and 7 of 11 on offense were on that 1-11 team at Baylor. He didn't recruit players or bring in transfers. He coached them from 1-11 to 11-3 in just a couple of years. THAT'S a good coach. Not a good recruiter.

He didn't turn around Baylor from previously being 1-11, the 1-11 was with him as HC.

The 7 years before he took over as head coach:

• Seven straight winning seasons
• Overall record: 64-27
• Conference record: 39-23

For the three years after he took over:

• Overall record: 19-20
• Conference record: 13-14
• Finished regular season above .500 once in three seasons
