college football because of early polls creates too many fraudulent narratives It’s like UGA getting to claim they beat the #3 team in Clemson to open up the season. Reality is they beat a top 20-25 caliber team. early polling misrepresents what Clemson was this year. That’s how Rhule got his 2 top 25 wins. Those weren’t actually top 25 teams when the dust settled.

I don’t see how you could sell Matt Rhule to Notre Dame alumni and fans. Really any school that views themselves a legit perennial contenders. Matt Rhule seems like a guy that could of jumped from Baylor to a SEC job like South Carolina.

you can't base things strictly on what a W/L column says. Right now, we have two wins against bad teams featuring rookies making their NFL debuts, a backup QB lead AZ team depleted of all their offensive star power, a win over a hurricane displaced NO team that had massive injuries and their coaching staff out with COVID, and an Atl team whose #1 WR walked away from the team the morning of the game and was missing their most productive weapon on the year. Those are the wins. Hard to feel good about those 5 when you really look at them hard. And all of our losses are basically a highlight reel of poor coaching or play in one aspect or another. You got to feel good about the direction more so than what the W loss column says.

Found mine from that thread. Everyone should have to go find their own and out themselves. I love CMC. But I have never endorsed paying RBs big money. Having the highest paid RB in the NFL never actually ends up being a good thing.

which basically means CMC could in theory still be on his rookie deal as we speak.... or we could of just not bothered with his 5th year and let him walk after his 2020 injured season.

I agree, the Fournette aspect of the article is weird. Are they arguing the correct move was to of traded up (and wasted draft captial) just to pick a different RB? One who has had a pretty pedestrian and disappointing career for a top 5 draft pick? Hard to argue the smarter move is to pick the well built but vastly inferior RB. Just don't draft a RB in the first. That's what the article should of said. Build a OL for your QB. Then you can go in the trash bin like Tampa did......and pick up a Fournette.

less than 4 months after signing the Baylor extension, he signed the Panther contract. very few college coaches practice what they preach to kids. I can tolerate NFL coaches being two faced liars easier than the college ones.

I'm not a fan of drafting RB in the first round. The only thing I hate more than drafting RBs in the first round is extending a RB having one of the highest paid RBs in the league. We did this dance with Double Trouble. You don't build NFL teams with RBs anymore. Yet we did it again. Who ran the ball down our throats for Washington? A converted WR. You get an OL. You can find a RB.

hard part about Andy Reid coordinators, is that overall, Reid has historically been the playcaller in Philly and KC. and you got to think Reid is still doing a lot of that today despite EB getting the credit. Unless, EB has the identical tendencies that Andy Reid does.

yeah, at this point, the staff likely has to be self aware of not doing things that could potentially highlight additional poor decision making. I mean, if they played him and he looked better than what we have had of late? That wouldnt' bode well for them. Got to think Rhule at least knows he has some heat on him. I still think he comes back next year (not that I agree with that). Win the Atl game. At least hang with NO. Guess you can accept getting bashed by Tampa. Rhule basically survives playing the CMC card two years in a row.

they probably save those questions for desirable coaches

as a Clemson fan I hope it doesn't happen. Venables is the key coach to Clemson's success. No clue if he will be a good HC. Different skill sets. But Venables is the best DC in college football.

I haven't seen that. That isn't what leads be to believe Venables is likely the guy

Play well or play better than who we have had out there? I mean the bar is pretty low after Sunday. Just for fan curiousity alone, I'd like to see if the current staff really has that right.

It isn't fake news their is a big Venables push going on from high profile OU folks. and Venables has OU ties.....and IMO is easily the best coordinator in college football. Which makes him a prime candidate. He also has one of his sons all the way out of the Clemson program and the other almost out. And his sons were keeping him there.

I hope he goes there. I like hating on Notre Dame. That just makes it even more fun too. I don’t see Urban making it two actual seasons in the NFL.

No point even talking about FL with Cam. He had like 6 pass attempts. You called him an average QB at Auburn. I disagreed. and Trevor sucking with Urban with the Jags.....doesn't really mean anything when talking about college. Trevor wasn't an average college QB either.

I'll buy out Rhule for Tepper. Just give me the mailing address of where to send this

the injury excuses don't work when you start putting folks on IR AFTER the train has wrecked.

Trevor Lawerence averaged 8 yards per pass attempt at Clemson Cam Newton wasn't average at Auburn. He was a one man freakshow and owner of one of the greatest football seasons in the history of college football. What he did in the pros has nothing to do with how his college career is viewed. It's like The Golden Calf of Bristol. The Golden Calf of Bristol is a college GOAT. A NFL chump. But the fact he couldn't play in the NFL doesn't mean he wasn't great in college.

Cam wasn't average at Auburn. Cam had 30 TDs in the air with a 66% pass completion. Which is what Trevor Lawerence averaged per season.

I want the Panthers to draft a young QB. That has been my stance ever since they parted with Cam. But I am not a big fan of Matt Rhule and his staff doing it.

Writing was already on the wall this offseason....when Rhule constantly told us how he wanted other coaches to run the joint practices entirely (and he was basically just along for the ride) and praised other teams as being something they hoped to be.

Perryman has been very good this year overall. and yeah, he isn't a coverage LB. If you ask to him to cover Travis Kelce you are going to have a bad time. It's like saying Brian Burns is trash because he doesn't play the run well. It's up to coaches to put them in the right spots for success. No one is claiming Perryman is the goat. But we can't stop teams that lineup and pound it right at us. That is literally what Perryman does well. Not sure why you wouldn't of preferred to just keep that on the roster.

a bad day to have a bad day will always be #1 in my heart
