Matt Rhule is not into analytics, and his offensive philosophy is archaic and inefficient

All I know is the guy turned around two DISMAL programs in short order. He's doing something right!

Motivates well, builds a culture, recruited the right guys, etc.  But the NFL is not college football, and if you're going to rely on being a good leader, you'll end up like Ron Rivera (you can be successful with the right talent, but eventually you have to match wits with more clever coaches, and Super Bowl 50 happens).

No, the NFL is not college, but his track record in college warrants notice, and there is a reason he was considered a hot commodity in the NFL. Whether or not it translates, we'll see. I think he's got the right stuff, but time will tell the story.

I bet after two years, he has a better second-half record than the 1-15 we just witnessed.

I actually brought this same topic up a couple days ago. Tepper said he wanted a new age coach but Rhule is an old school meat and potatoes type of guy. Seems like an odd hire.

Some people are into analytics, some aren't.  It's up to you to respect that.

Analytics requires a lot of preparation, communication, and above all, mutual trust.  It isn't like you see on the internet where somebody just pulls out of one field of analytics and jams right up into the other one.

OP you promised me it was stefanaski.  i feel like i just can't believe you about anything

I really don't have much of an opinion on the Rhule hire because I didn't think he'd be the guy. I thought he was going to the Giants.

Bottom line though is that this guy was a hot candidate for a reason. It's not like he came out of nowhere. He's been on NFL radars for awhile now and his name was connected to pretty much every NFL job available this season. Tepper identified the guy he wanted and he put a big enough number on paper to ensure he got him. That alone gives me reason to be hopeful again about the Tepper era.

and once you see Hurney walking around BOA when the video montage of the Rhule greeting comes out you'll be right back down to earth like the rest of us on the Tepper era.

I'm definitely curious about exactly what Hurney'd role will be going forward and perplexed why he has one.

Something I'm keeping in the back of my mind...

They asked Sean Payton about him, and Payton mentioned that Rhule is friends with Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland (Ireland went to Baylor).

what gives me some hope too is tepper played all of us, the media, everyone.    that was impressive

My biggest concern is lack of pedigree in his staff so far. None of these guys have a reputation of success at the NFL level. I'd rather keep Norv in place than go with some of these names.
