Courtesy of Zach Barnett at Footballscoop.com: Matt Rhule on brand, toughness and his diet

Quote

Full disclosure before we move forward: I had to catch a flight during Matt Rhule’s talk at the AFCA convention last week, so I didn’t get to hear the entire thing. But I wasn’t going to pass on a chance to hear Rhule — wearing his Panther black and teal — speak when given the chance, even if it was an abbreviated chance.

Teal? :thinking:

In any case, here are some tidbits from Rhule's presentation...

Quote

On brand: Rhule talked a lot about brand, and so it’s worthwhile to take a moment to define what exactly “brand” means, at least in Rhule’s mind. “Brand is when image meets identity and they’re in lock step,” he said.

In other words, when who you say you are matches who you actually are.

 

Quote

“Toughness is the physical and mental strength to accomplish your goals no matter the circumstances,” he said.

 

Quote

On competitiveness, Rhule defined it as, “I’m never going to come in second to myself.” He used an example of Usain Bolt racing not against the sprinters on the other blocks, but against the Usain Bolt of previous races.

 

Quote

Rhule said the most honest thing any #brand manager will ever say: “I don’t know if we are (the toughest, hardest working, most competitive team in the country) but if we say it enough times maybe it’ll be true.”

Fake it till you make it? :thinking:

 

Quote

On process: Rhule defined process as a complete focus on his own team, as the slide shows below. “Every year after signing day I go on a diet,” he said. “It’s not that I don’t have great goals, I don’t have great process.”

Heh :)

 

Quote

Speaking of controlling the controllables: Rhule said he can tolerate any penalty except for three. Those three are false starts, any alignment penalty and offsides.

So...you know...don't do that.

 

Quote

On his goals in Carolina: Rhule said his goal is to run the best organization in the NFL. “I want to be the gold standard,” he said. To get there, Rhule wants to have the best team chemistry in the NFL among players and coaches. “If the coaching staff is united as a team, the players will follow.”

That's a good goal, and sound thinking.

 

Quote

On applying for jobs as a young coach: As an undergrad at Penn State Rhule applied to every Division I school and every NFL team hoping to get a job. Instead he got 200 rejection letters. “There was a bar at Penn State that gave you a free beer if you brought in a job letter rejection,” he said. “I brought in all 200 hoping to get through the weekend.”

 

Quote

One final thought: This was a throwaway tangent in the midst of a discussion of something else, but it drew a big reaction in the room and I wanted to share it with you here. “Guys,” Rhule said, “a bubble isn’t a run. You can tell yourself it is, but it’s not.”

Glad we're clear on that :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Hes trying to figure out what to base his next 3 years of whining on. 

ive always could hang a hat on Mr Scott being even keel and just posting good info

 

but it seems like hes just been moody and whiney. maybe the 15 years of constant huddling on here is driving him stir crazy.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
