Matt Rhule could be our Jimmy Johnson moment.

Recommended Posts

I know it was decades ago and people might not even remember, but Jimmy Johnson becomes HC for the Dallas cowboys in 1989, he had literally zero experience in the NFL because up until that point he was only a college coach. Heck, unlike Rhule he didn’t even have any small time assistant level NFL experience. Anyway,  in 1989 the Cowboys in Jimmy’s first year as HC go a dismal 1-15, then in 1990 improve to 7-9, then in 1991 11-5, then in 1992 go 13-3 and win the SB and thus the 90s Cowboys dynasty begins.

Pattern sound familiar? The two teams Rhule has been a head coach of have been very similar pattern. Year 1- terrible, year 2- average then year 3 it’s party time. Let’s hope this is our Jimmy Johnson moment.

So are we getting the Herschel Walker trade, then spending two 1st overall picks on QBs in the same year? LOL

 

- For those not aware, the Cowboys used the 1st overall pick on Troy Aikman in the 1989 draft and then a few months later used a 1st round pick in the 1989 supplemental draft to take Steve Walsh.  That pick ended up being the #1 overall pick in the 1990 draft.

It's completely clear right now Rhule has no idea what or who the Panthers are. Just that he likes the ownership and GM. Calling him JJ or any great at the moment is rushing the "process" and we need to see who he surrounds himself with because that's going to be super important.

Gruden actually attempting to pull off a version of the Jimmy Johnson model.  Others have attempted before and it didn't work out so well. 

I mean to follow the Jimmy Johnson path....that is going to involve some real pain.

    • I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.
    • Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
