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?

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
