Have your thoughts on Matt Rhule evolved at all?

[imminent rogaine]

Modern. This is what modern businesses look like. Life/work balance. Working with a goal and purpose. The expectation is to work hard and get your poo done without baby sitting and ceremonial busywork.

Is there a link to watch live practice drills?  Watched some yesterday but don't see anything today.

It's how refreshingly unlike our previous coaches he is for me. The stubborn stoic leadership style of Fox and Rivera worked well in high times, but Ron especially would double down on it in moments that made him come off as insecure or incompetent. Adjustments were a last resort for previous regimes but I think the always evolving nature of the college game make it Rhule's wheelhouse. And you have to constantly get with the times and be relatable when you're leading college kids.

It's just really nice to have a head coach who seems willing to adapt however necessary to win and doesn't need to assert his authority. A sort of confidence and humility we've never really seen at head coach.

There's a reason he was #1 on my list of guys I wanted as the new coach.  And nothings changed

Virtue signal away sir.

Pointy elbows.  Would not fug.

I'm excited to see how he runs things and I'm optimistic that he will deliver. But I do find the Baylor favoritism a little strange and  little concerning.

[Mr. Scot]

Already knew he was a nice guy.

Zero evidence to this point as to what kind of NFL coach he will be.

[Basbear]

Nope. To me it was a "how did Rhule honeydick the league into thinking he was a top candidate after runs at powerhouses Temple/Baylor???". I didnt fall for his first preachy press conference or any other interviews. Did like no excuses comment and that DL drill was funny. Remain very skeptical and aware this is the hardest HC job in NFL history too.

Just hope he’s not the Panthers’ version of Bobby Petrino.

I liked the hire but I think he has a lot to learn at the NFL level. My hope is that he's actually willing to learn and adapt. I don't think we've actually had that in a head coach yet.

*thinks*

Capers

Seifert

Fox

Rivera

Nope. We have not.

Untrue.

Video of drill shows clearly that he is a coach who would be willing but unable to replace a d lineman. So that mystery is solved.

More Matt Rhule news from yesterday. He let the guys with kids come in late so that they could see their kids off to the first day of school or e-Learning whatever the case may be. 

 

Got me thinking. Now we know a little more about his style. If I had to choose a few words to describe it, they would be...

High energy

Accountability

Relatable

 

From taking part in the drills himself, to giving time off, to increasing the speed and intensity of the practices. Has your impression of him changed at all?

Yes. I think he does a lot of very player friendly things and seems to be keen on team chemistry building. 

Runs pretty counter to the typical college head coach mentality, so that was a surprise.
