“A great developer of talent...”(the best).

Recommended Posts

I’m not in the draft/college world as much as some of y’all are.

Can anyone tell me in the past 10 years how many of Rhules players had been drafted and are still playing in the NFL?

So far I count 8-10, only 2 Baylor players and this draft class is not looking any better.

Thanks!

Wow talk about a stretch argument.

Temple record 2-10, 6-6, 10-3

Baylor 1-11, 7-6, 11-3

These are 2 schools that make due with 3 star prospects and don’t have the Chase Youngs, Bosas, or the Tua’s lining up to play there.

Dion Dawkins gonna get paid (Rhule player)

Robby Anderson has said multiple times that Rhule is what kept him playing football and would probably not be where he is today without him.

He’s developed players to fit his program and not Saban or Dabo their talent (ie pay for it)

So how many of rhules players have had success in the NFL? 

We already know he never beat a ranked team in college.

There’s another concept out there: acquire talent, work that talent into your scheme while also adapting your scheme around that talent. Talent development is still an important deal in the NFL. I think the team is working hard to sell this angle to help justify a reset. I’m not certain how translatable Rhule’s “program building” rep is at the pro level. I’m not ruling it out. I’m just a healthy skeptic.

Chip Kelly. You know my opinion. We’ve seen this before when it comes to “program”.

This is more about how has the collective NFL felt about his players being skilled, professional and ready for the NFL aka developed to an NFL level. According to the body that is the NFL.

2 players from Baylor. With 3 projected in late rounds on deck. That doesn’t really show “best”, “great” or even “good” developing of talent. 

It shows Tepper is banking on a college scheme to work in the NFL. He’s willing to take the risk. But are the fans?

Chip Kelly also had a more NFL-experienced coaching staff/front office in 2013 w/ Philly. I’m not anti-Matt. But I’m not 100% sold on the front office or staff right now. That doesn’t mean I won’t be wrong. It just feels a bit off to me. That’s all.

I agree. Give him the chance to actually get players on the same level and see how he does. Guys go to the big name schools because they want to get on the big time stage so they can get drafted. Turning schools with middle of the road and lesser talent from terrible records to solid winning records is an accomplishment.

Nobody has ever said my path to the NFL runs through Baylor or Temple.

The go to big name schools because they know the program will be better. It will afford them more opportunities to prove themselves. It’s up to the players after the program what to do with themselves. So far not a lot of rhule people have done anything football-wise.

It might not be an indicator of developing talent, but for me, it is an indicator of doing more with less. That's a very translatable skill imo. It shows an understanding of total team dynamics and utilizing your available pieces to greatest benefit.

Rhule may or may not pan out, but I agree that he's worth the risk given his track record. (at multiple spots)

    • This might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference.   ...   Actually, no it wouldn't 😕
    • Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕
    • Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
