David Tepper gave Matt Rhule a 7 year $62m contract. Rhule never beat a ranked team as head coach of the Baylor football team.

Don't forget that Rhule was going to accept the jets job, but the jets backed out when Rhule said he was going to only bring his college staff and wouldn't allow the jets to make any input on his assistant coaches because Rhule wanted his guys. Let it sink it that THE JETS where smart enough to see that it was a bad idea so much so that they chose ADAM GASE who already failed as the coach of the dolphins. They chose a coach that they got to see fail fist hand over Rhule and his guys.

Rhule and Gase are both frauds.

Two total wins vs. ranked opponents in college. Both at Temple. The two teams? Navy and ECU. Both dropped from the rankings after losing to Temple on their way to .500ish seasons.

I brought up this concern when we hired Rhule. I was roundly criticized and mocked because Tepper made wealthy people even wealthier by moving money around so he couldn't possibly fail at building a dominant football organization. 😂

Who here was actually excited by the hire in the first place? I never understood it or bought in. I figured people knew something I didn’t when it came to Rhule 

A lot of people were excited. I made a thread right after Rhule was hired saying that nepotism would torpedo the Rhule era before it started because he’s so unqualified to be an NFL head coach he needed NFL veteran coaches to guide him along. I was reamed in that thread. Everyone agrees with me now though LOL

I remember there being excitement, but I just never understood why. Now I know it’s because a lot of people here don’t know what the fug they are talking about

He got outcoached by Tom f*cking Herman

I had a little league basketball coach who literally just told us "you gotta believe, boys!" constantly and his play calls consisted of numbers corresponding to the positions. Like "124" means the PG is supposed to pass to the SG who passes to the PF who shoots. This is to occur no matter what the defense is doing. It took the first opposing coach about a half to figure this out. Our goose was cooked from that point on.

Anyway... long story short... that mouth breathing moron could coach circles around Fatt Rhule.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
