When did you give up on Matt Rhule?

Plenty of teams have moved on from coaches after two years….

you could start with looking at the list of college HCs that for NFL jobs. 

And those teams kept sucking usually and don't get the right coach until years later.. While teams with patience and consistency usually give more then a year and half...

This is getting crazy.. Didn't everybody here understood this wasn't going to be pretty year 2.. This is still a rebuilding year right?? How many of you thought this was a finished team??

3 years.. Like most teams normally do... 

Again if we would have fired ROn in the middle of year 2.. How would that have worked out.. 2 coach of the year season not here..

Ron had a plan though. Regardless of what you think of it.   He drafted a uber talented QB.  It was clear he was in the process of building something AND was doing something the league really hadn’t seen on O.   There were definitely year 2 struggles but there at least was a clear plan.  Develop Newton.  Bring the RPO zone read to the NFL and make it work. 
 

Rhule just looks lost.

I’m not taking any side in this debate, but as someone who always defended Rivera and think he got too much criticism at times… I think you’re giving him way too much credit for that “plan.” Any HC who drafted Cam would have implemented a lot of zone read option looks.

Generally teams show patience with guys that give them a reason to show it.   So the Bucs should of stayed with Greg Schiano….just because.  

and in the world of just coaches and general, Jim Mora had a 5 year deal with Seattle.  They fired him rightfully after one season…. that worked out pretty well for Seattle.  

If someone clearly isn’t the guy? Yeah, you should just move on.

I swear this is turning into Revisionist history..

No body saw the plan when Nakmara gave up that TD to Atlanta and ppl wanted Ron to stay in Atlanta...

Nobody was talking about When Buffalo beat us on a 80 yards td drive by Ej Manuel...

If this is the new Standard I guess we got 8 years of hiring and firing coaches when they aren't good halfway thru their 2nd season..

well, the zone read wasn’t invented by Auburn.  Ron was the first to legitimize it.  I think he gets at least some credit for that.  And the gamble on Cam.  Which it was.  Cal was only viewed as the #1 player in the draft once Ron made it clear he likely was going to take that gamble IMO.

Another good example of a team with no patience and took them years to get the coaching hire thing right..

I mean the Cam plan isn’t revisionist history.    First thing he did was draft a talented QB and at least offensively….it was about building something that just hasn’t been seen.  Ron had that.  As I said earlier, think of it however you want.  Lot thought it was a poor plan by year two but it was a something to point to.  

which Rhule doesn’t have.

Seattle fired Jim Mora after one year (5 year deal) and a mini dynasty was born after that. 

So your argument is the Bucs should of shown more patience with Greg Schiano and company?  lol.  Why? He was a train wreck.  They kept moving on from bad people…..and now will be contending at least for back to back Super Bowl rings.

    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
    • the argument that Dan Morgan was assistant GM for years while running counter to everything both his bosses signed off on (who look down at him and his staff for info).....is a tough sell.  I feel we do a variant of this every year.  You aren't this bad...becuase of 1 person.  You are this bad because of LOTS of bad people.  It was never just Joe Brady.  Which is why firing him didn't lead to better offense.  It was never just Matt Rhule.  It was never just Fitterer.    As bad as we are, we need to scorch Earth this puppy and quit letting people who were part of making the mess be the designed folks to lead us out of the mess.  when David Tepper and Jim Caldwell found the answer on the roster......it was clear from the jump nothing had really changed.
