Wow I didn’t know he was that bad.

 

I have a theory about Rhule. He didn’t really turn Baylor around like people think. Baylor was going to be a decent team anyhow and just had a bad season because of the disciplinary actions of the scandal and players leaving. Baylor was a good enough and popular enough school that it would have naturally improved itself over time. They actually would have an easy time recruiting players because they could offer them playing time for a big 12 school, something they might not have been able to get elsewhere.

Put it this way, if I was a fan of program in complete shambles just looking to get back to being able to actually compete on the football field I'd be happy about a Rhule hire. He's shown he can do that. I'm looking at you, Nebraska.

If I'm a fan of a good program that being competitive but just not winning to the level we want and trying to take the step from competitive to contender I would not be happy about a Rhule hire. That's what he has not shown that he can do. I'm looking at places like Auburn in this category.

I still do not understand how his name was hot at the time of his hire. His resume was not very good yet he was being pumped up and posters here called that out at the time. It was complete BS. Fug the hot name. Give me a competent name.

I can stand a miss but this one was too damn obvious. 'But he made mid teir programs competitive but not good'...in schooll. Who gives AF? Like seriously how good is his agent to make chicken poop into meatballs and Hurney & Tepper ate that all up. He was never a good candidate for HC in the NFL or even school.

I don't even think Rhule was in the majority of the Huddle's top 5 at the time. For me personally,  his name came out of left field. My list was 1. Greg Roman 2. Matt Eberflus 3. Eric Bieniemy 4. Robert Saleh and 5. Mike McCarthy

Once I heard Rhule's name getting thrown out there, I went and did some research. Once I saw he couldn't even beat ranked teams I wanted nothing to do with him. College coaches already have a TERRIBLE success rate, and you're going to get one who can't even beat ranked teams? Not to mention he was already blowing leads in college, blowing a 28-3 lead against Oklahoma.

I wanted different coaches but I felt the same about Rhule. Total WTF? type move for me. Looked him up and feared this kind of mess. He wasn't even a good coach at that level and the one hope was that Snow would be solid.

I still don't understand the hype. It should have been hot like radioactive and not desirable.

Media hype...cool story...dumb people in charge of the Panthers...

Put it all together and call it "The Perfect Sh-tstorm" 😕

Pretty much.  How hard is it to turn around a Big 12 program to above average? It basically took 3 recruiting cycles.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
