Looking at Rhule's one year in the NFL

Matt Rhule's only year of NFL experience was 2012 with the New York Giants. They wen't 9-7 that year and missed the playoffs, so just a 16 game sample size. And yes, he was the assistant OL coach, which doesn't mean a whole lot, but still interesting to look at how their OL fared that year with him involved in coaching it:

From https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2012/index.htm :

In the passing game, the Giants were first in the league in sacks allowed with only 20 all year (this with a very immobile Eli at QB). Next best was Broncos with 21 and then Bucs and Saints with 26. Average was 36.5. Fair to say they had one of the best, if not the best, pass blocking OLs in the league.

In the run game, they were 14th in rushing yards with 1,862, 5th in rushing TDs with 18 and 7th in Y/A with 4.6. This was with Ahmad Bradshaw as their main running back and while they had an explosive rookie in David Wilson as well, he was in Coughlin's dog house for much of the year due to fumbling early. Not exactly the best RB group, and still a top rushing unit.

Offensive linemen

Above are the players he had to work with. Of that group, the only ones who were ever Pro Bowlers or All-Pro were Chris Snee (Pro Bowl that year, and three other years, as well as one first team All-Pro and two second team) and David Diehl (one Pro Bowl and two second team All-Pros).

 

Overall, I'd say this was a pretty damn good job, but of course should be taken with a grain of salt considering he was the assistant OL coach, not the OL coach. Take it for what it's worth.

You posted about one year of NFL experience coaching an OL. The basis of this thread is irrelevant. 

Then why would you click on it? Some may find it slightly interesting. I did. It probably means nothing. But who knows.

But College Man Bad

College Man no Work in NFL

some college guys work out great.  You never know. 

But Rhule just went 0-11 vs the top 25 while at Baylor.  Hard to automatically think he is the key to the Super Bowl.
