Ron vs Rhule... early thoughts on if team is better or worse

[mc52beast]

Yes, I know. We just hired the guy, the ink on his contract is still drying. But I’m interested in getting your thoughts on Rhule and with everything we know about him so far if we are better off with him than with Ron. 
 

One big difference I see coming is that Rhule is heavy into analytics, sometimes putting more emphasis on that than actual game tape.

Absolutely, unquestionably, undoubtedly.......no fuging idea.

All I care about is if we’re keeping Cam and if we go back to 4-3.

Better, although admittedly I know little about rhule except that he is a numbers guy and does a good job of developing players and rebuilding teams.

I just think the bar was set incredibly low with Ron.

Alot better stagnating isnt improving.

Rhule will last three years and then starts the revolving door for years. #hurneymagic

An aggressive offensive coach who actually puts thoughts into his decisions versus a dinosaur who went with his gut 99% of the time.

Seems like Ron and Matt are cut from the same cloth as far as loose family type of locker room. Matt seems more new school as far as analytics finding players and the sports science thing is kind of a big deal for the future that a lot of people aren’t talking about. Matt is much more we’ll rounded, Ron is a conservative, defensive minded coach. 
 

the big thing I want to know about are in game decision making. What is Matt about in that regard because I have no idea. I’m guessing he follows numbers. That’s a good and bad thing. Just depends.

Dude night and day..I didn't see this happening because I thought rule wanted to stay at baylor but here's a few thoughts. 1. Like you said hes analytical and gameplans for each game. Probably spends a unreal amount of time in his office. 2. The age gap between him and players is far less, I see this as a good thing because they will understand each other  better. This is all the inverse of Ron. I don't know what else to say you nailed it....hes gonna be good for us.

This hire was all on Tepper. Don’t you think for a second Hurney had any say. Tepper wanted his man and he got him. So it’s open for interpretation how he pans out.

They were both linebackers, kill me now!

It seems we have always gone with the old school established coaches.   Capers Seifert, Fox, Rivera,  I'm willing to try something new. 

[JARROD]

Well the team went from a 5-2 record and looked capable of winning to a complete disaster.

that makes me think its salvageable. 
 

next season will probably be a 6-10 season. It’s just what happens so accept the suck with some sprinkles of hope.

If you want to end up 8-8 next year, Ron is the best bet for that. If you want to see improvements and to see a team that can contend for a championship in a few years...Rhule is the better bet.
