As to your comment about 64 being old -- how old do you think Wade is?

 

Way to miss the point

By the age of 32, Wade Phillips was already a defensive coordinator in the NFL (granted nepotism helped grease the cart).  My point was not that he was 64, but that he made it to 64 without achieving anything.

To quote another huddler,

None of his defenses really finished high nationally.  Only one respectable year at Baylor.

His best defense at Baylor ranked #39.  They registered 20th in points.  The other 2 seasons at Baylor his defense were trash.

I'm digging your handle! :shades:

Ha. Go Cats! I was talking to a buddy of mine that was a running back while we were in school. Rhule was in Cullowhee at the time and my friend said he was the best coach he’s ever had. By far, not even close.

I have one son going to Western now and the other will be there in 2021.  Even more reason to pull for Rhule.

Bobo- do some research and don’t be such a hater out of the gate. Temple had the 11th ranked defense in the country in 2016. Temple! Who has been a dumpster fire for EVER before Rhule and Snow got there.

We’ve got nothing to lose here. Our defense under all seasoned “NFL” guys was hot garbage this year. It can’t get any worse and it’s very likely to get better. I’m excited about the new regime regardless if Snow is the DC or not. 

Temple also changed conferences when they arrived.... and they played utter trash when they achieved that great defensive rank

Class of '99 myself.  I was at working at O'Malley's one afternoon when Brad and some buddies came in and said he got an invite to Panthers camp.  I was super stoked for him, even though I was certain he'd get cut.  Amazingly, he earned a roster spot.  I was like, 'what are the freaking odds that a WCU player landed on the Panthers?'

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
