Just how deeply disliked was Matt Rhule?

I think the more apropos title would be, "How disliked was Matt Rhule as a coach?" I do believe that as a person, some people actually liked him. I think that his coaching philosophy was a dark cloud over all, but that when players and staff actually have time to reflect over time, they'll be able to discriminate between the two. Rhule's modus operandi seems more a match for developing college and high school kids than developing men in a professional setting. 

I think that Rhule likes to impose his control, and that doesnt necessarily work well with free grown men. Men control themselves if they believe in a process that shows results.

Kinda makes me wonder if the attempts to downplay "keep pounding" might have come from Rhule.

Seeing "The Brand" painted around the building was def Rhule and very lame. I think it was on Higgins Youtube channel he filmed his signing day and there was dumb generic poo posted all over the place

Based on some of the reactions we're seeing, a lot.

Damn 😳

You didn't get that vibe watching the team play? Remember the Baker from Cleveland? The confidence he came in with each week going into each game? That has been gone. 

I know the team is just bad right now, but Baker's demeanor here compared to everywhere else he's been told me everything that I needed to know.

He wasn't just a coach though.

He was in charge of "the program" and from what we're hearing it sounds as though he was treating staff like peons.

It's not the players who are speaking out...yet.

Yeah at what other team does the social media staff talk about how toxic the HC interaction was? That's new level and has nothing to do with how bad of an actual x and o's coach he is.

What was Rhule's "thing"? Like what did he come in being good at? Most NFL Head Coaches now have a specialty of some kind and it's beyond being a position coach for those who are successful.

College coaches make their programs about them and that’s ok in college 

NFL is about players which he could never fully understand. The amount of “weaseling” I heard he did was atrocious. Thank god this chapter is over.

This is a product driven business which did not produce. You’re out.

I'm sorry, did you hear accounts that weren't reported?  If so, would you mind sharing?

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
