Predict the Week Rhule gets fired

[kungfoodude]

Your prediction for this mess.

After either the Rams/Bucs game - one of (likely both) of those are going to be an embarrassing laugher that will likely be the last straw. 

Normally the team would make the move before the bye week but there's no way I see Rhule lasting till December, let alone November. 

[Harbingers]

Off-season or or playoff elimination. Though he could fire during the season with Steve Wilks and Ben in place this year and not have a complete coaching exodus. 

[Mr. Scot]

Under a competent NFL owner I might say this week, but a competent NFL owner probably would have fired him before this season started.

With Tepper? Hard to say.

[uncfan888]

End of the year. Let him fly this plane all the way into the ground and give your new coach the first pick in the draft

I am not sure how you don't show McAdoo the door when Rhule goes.

If Tepper canned Rivera before the end of the year, there is little chance Rhule makes it, IMO.

Tepper didn't pick Rivera. He'd have to admit he made a mistake if he fires rhule in the middle of the season

[Mr. Scot]

What if Rhule pulled a Bobby Petrino?

Not sure I see that happening but I suppose it's possible.

(and might arguably be less embarrassing)

It would be a better situation yes. But how much of the coaching staff would exodus with Rhule? We know Snow would, is there someone on the offense staff that could fill in if McAdoo was let go too?

[KillerKat]

Theres something about recruiting for college coaches by December. Cant remember exactly what it is, but it means if NFL coaches want to go coach in college then the sooner the better.

We will have to see if his pride or anger wins out. 

I think he risks looking like an even bigger fool the longer this goes on. I expect Rhule's press conferences decline to the point where Tepper has to do something.

[Mr. Scot]

As an aside, it's still boggles my mind that there were people defending Rhule right up to the start of this season.

(one or two even into the first few weeks)

I think most would stick around unless Rhule immediately gets a college job. Then I would expect his standard cronies to be right behind him.
