Strip Rhule of Roster control. Draft O-Line. Get #1 draft pick in 2023. Fire Rhule.

Honestly, if that is Teppers plan then I'm all for it. No point in making a new coach deal with this dumpster fire next year with no QB and no O-line. Make Rhule ride out this poo storm he created in pursuit of the #1 Overall Pick in 2023 and get your QB in Year 4 of the rebuild with a solid NFL worthy coach. Strip Rhule of roster control because he is a bafoon, but if you're Tepper and you think another year of Rhule gets you the #1 overall pick and a fresh start for a new coach with solid cap space its actually not terrible.

No. This very young team needs nfl coaching right away while we still have them under rookie contracts. 

Exactly.  Believing there is someway to finesse this situation with Rhule, take away his power/authority, in essence demote him, and not have Matt lose all his credibility within the organization is a pipe dream.

    If its going to be a rebuild situation, then keeping Rhule is the worst thing the team could do. Players aren’t stupid. How long are they going to play hard for a lame duck. Just tell the new HC that finding young players to build around is more important  than whether you win 2 or 5 games. Get the cap right for once. Maybe trade a piece or two for picks. But most importantly, you start changing the culture now.

I agreed with everything you said until I read the word culture. I’ve grown to hate that word because of Rhule and I never want to hear it again.

At least its a plan

I can understand that. Pick a different word but change is needed immediately. You don’t keep a horrible coach just to take a beating. As stbugs said above. This should have been done in 2020. This team would be in the playoffs by now, or close.

100%. These players aren’t stupid and are going to have a hard time listening to a lame duck coach. Plus he is going to ruin the development of some of these players. If we know he isn’t the guy then we are better off letting him go.

Plus I’m willing to bet Rhule’s head coaching responsibilities and control over the team are specified in the terms of his legally -signed contract.

In other words, there’s likely only ONE way to “strip” Rhule of any roster-building responsibilities and that is to FIRE him and eat the bitter, financial terms of the contract.

    • I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week. 
    • Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there. 
    • Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
