Everyone knows Rhule is desperate.

We've truly entered the trifecta of poo for the franchise:

1) No hope for the playoffs

2) Lack draft capital

3) Not in a great salary cap situation

How does one franchise check the above three boxes and still keep it's coach that got them in that spot? I am putting blame on Tepper because of the personnel and drafting power he handed Rhule on Day 1. 

FIFY

All we can do is hope Tepper learned from this and the next coach is more proven or less of a dumbass.

Rhule is the worst thing to happen to this franchise and I’ve been here for Collins quitting, 2001, 2010/Pickles, and the disaster that has been this franchise since we last made the playoffs in 2017.

I recall last season when we signed Cam back and the town was electric.  The mojo since then has totally gone south.  At this point it is an amazing long shot Rhule can turn this around.  Everyone is against him.  If he does turn it around he is worlds better than people are giving him credit for right now.

He is the coach and we should all probably be pulling for him here.  People are so full of hate these days.

The Detroit Lions have a brighter future right now than we do. How far we have fallen.

Hadn't thought about it but yes,  you're right in retrospect.  Build through the draft.  Instead,  no real chance of success for many years.

All Teddy would have done is get us 2-3 more wins and we’d be picking 13th instead of 6th with a 2nd round pick.

Thats not changing much….

If anything trading for Darnold SHOULD give an indication to Tepper as to who he’s got running this team. 

A dude who’s a good but not great coach that couldn’t deliver on his Darnold gamble.

Ron Rivera looking good right about now.

Why is Tepper willingly embarrassing himself to this degree? It really is awful to be a fan right now. I can’t imagine many players will want to come here.

I think the only reason Tepper hasn't fired Rhule is because of his own ego. Tepper is a loud talking, big balls, show off owner. He endorsed Rhule so much as a savior to this franchise when he hired him that he is embarrassed to admit that it was a wrong hire. He is willing to waste this season with Rhule to give him his "3 years" instead of admitting a mistake. Some people would rather sink with the boat than abandon ship.

All this because Tepper wouldn't hire a consultant and instead fell in love with a head coach because they both sweat a lot.

Rhule’s wife also makes some damn good meatballs.

We know he can’t turn it around. He doesn’t know that he’s incompetent at this level. That’s the real problem and why everyone hates him. He makes bad decisions that are setting us further back but he’s oblivious to his mistakes.

Yeeesh

 

"Not giving a poo" =/= Embarrassed 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

This is all Tepper. He is the one watching the poo Stew cook. He could take out the ingredients anytime and start over, but his enormous ego is stopping him from doing so.

Rhule is willing to sale the farm to get above. 500 this year. 

Been saying this for ages.

But the "year in a vacuum" fans who insisted that Rhule would only remain here for another year with absolutely no control were as stupid and naive as ever.

Funny how those guys don't show up and spout their "Tepper is gonna brass-ball Rhule and take his power away!" theories anymore.
