Matt Rhule - The most impressive thing he does

Rhule has had two head coaching jobs, each in college. In each instance, he took an awful program and made them really good. 

Have a look:

TEMPLE

2013: 2-10

2014: 6-6

2015: 10-4

2016: 10-3

 

BAYLOR

2017: 1-11

2018: 7-6

2019: 11-3

 

And this is college, where it is infinitely more difficult than the NFL to turn around a program. No draft, no free agency. College recruiting takes so much more time. 

David Tepper must have saw something in Rhule that he just could not pass up to even interview other guys that he was interested in. 

 

Now is the time for optimism. This is a really good hire with tons of potential in rebuilding this franchise.

Devils advocate: 

turning around a college program is largely about being a good recruiter, a skill that is borderline meaningless to success in the NFL as a HC.

Yes, but that takes years and years to turn things around. Far longer than what Rhule was able to do.

Winning at bad programs is the sign of a good coach. 

Casual college football fans seem to think it's all about wins and playoff appearances, but college football is predicated entirely on recruiting power and money. Urban Meyer and Dabo Swinney didn't start winning games because of how good of coaches they are; they can outrecruit, out spend, and build better organizations.

That advantage doesn't exist at the NFL because everyone has unlimited money (except the bengals lmao) and everyone can do whatever they want. The talent difference is negligible. 

This is a fuging great hire.

not at fuging baylor. 

Briles got that program going by like opening up the prisons and turning it into a rape fun park. 

Ruhle didn't do that. They looked bad against UGA because the Dawgs (sic em) are better at every single position. Baylor is like the sixth most powerful program in Texas, they simply didn't have the players to line up against Georgia.

Dude I'm ecstatic, young mind that will be more in tune with the players because there is a lesser age gap. A young brilliant mind...love this.

Good point. However, if you look at his recruiting rankings they are far from stellar so maybe not recruiting that he excelled at.

It took 3 seasons for him to turn Temp,e and Baylor into winners. 3 seasons in, only your seniors aren’t guys you recruited. The team is 75% yours. How exactly is it supposed to take years and years longer if you’re good at recruiting?

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
