The word from Rhule

Putting a fat guy in a suit and sitting him at a small table is torture for him

I don't believe he's fake. I don't doubt that he's a good man. There are too many people testifying to that.

I just don't care.

I'm not looking for him to be a pastor or a spiritual leader. I'm looking for him to be an NFL head football coach.

If he's good at that, then I'll be happy.

I never said he was fake. I think he’s genuine but that only comes out when he’s not in preacher mode.

Glorious.

I agree with a lot of this except I don’t accept the premise that Rhule is swindling. That would only be true if he made statements he couldn’t or didn’t intend to back up. Using charisma to put your best foot forward is not inherently dishonest. If he is committed to things he said in the video, then there’s nothing dishonest about it.

I am concerned about Tepper’s seemingly overly emotional decision here. I agree this does not convey the impression this is a decision he’s coming at from a coldly rational place. 

However when you sat that his greatest skill is selling himself and not coaching, his record at Temple and Baylor suggest he must know a thing or two about coaching. What remains to be seen is how well that transfers to the NFL. From what I’m hearing I think it’s possible his strengths might transfer well and also possible that they might not.

I'm with you.  I felt like suiting up during his introduction, lol.  He's got some great motivational speaking skills.  That can absolutely translate immediately.  The challenge will be sustained success.  I like the idea of doing everything the best each day.  It certainly worked on college kids, now it will be very interesting to see how well his message wears on the team.  If the team is getting better and closer to success, then we'll have a good thing.  

The devil is going to be the coordinators.  He's going to have to get really good coordinators with a a good scheme since that's not his strength.

I don’t think Tepper gets swindled a lot 

 

I dont either. Looking forward to seeing the football side of him. Hopefully the Younglife counselor angle subsides when it gets real

[Sam Mills Fan]

You guys know Rhule's dad was a preacher and he's literally preached sermons from the pulpit before?

 

[sml1950]

If he swindled Tepper, maybe he can swindle the players too, and actually get them to play up to their potential.

[Paa Langfart]

When I watched yesterdays presser, what I took away from it was that good old Marty Hurney hand picked our new coach and Tep and Drummond?  went along for the ride. 

Anyone else feel a bit uneasy when they heard Tepper recount that ?

It’s honestly what I don’t like about him. Just comes across as fake to me. But that’s just me. Whenever he’s being asked questions he’s wayyy more personable.

i know the South will love that schtick though. 

Yeah, I'm far too cynical to get fired up by his preacher-speak, but I don't care. We've seen what he's done at Temple and Baylor. All I care about is that he gets the Panthers players to praise the lord.

Can I get an amen!!!

[PhillyB]

creeps me out a little to be completely frank, but i still think he's a good hire and as long as players buy into it it doesn't matter.

stuff like that is gonna make him real hatable if he sucks though
