Might have the most charismatic coach in the league. How anyone could think players wouldn’t want to play for him is beyond me. There’s something about him when he’s speaking that compels you to listen.

The thing about charisma and coaching success, wellll...

I know you're not establishing a direct link between the two, but still...

Not at all. I hope he’s successful but he certainly can fail. My only point was there were lots of people saying things like “grown men won’t want to play for this guy”

I’m not buying that. Hell, I want to play for him

I've heard that said about other college coaches before.

There are definitely coaches who do better with college kids than professional adults. I haven't seen anything that definitively tells me Matt Rhule is one of them yet.

Guess we will see. I feel pretty confident he will have the ability to rally a locker room. Even more confident this board will forever be negative in nearly any situation

That's relevant in college recruiting. In the NFL, despite what pending free agents might say about winning, etc. it's almost always the highest bidder who gets the prize.

I'm actually the most positive I have been in a while about the team.  We have seemed to be a rudderless ship for a long time, and while I don't fully agree with what we are doing, I at least see a plan...a path if you will.

Rhule's coaching persona is that of a motivator, as opposed to a tactician which is what Belichick would be.

You can win Super Bowls with a motivator type head coach. The Colts did with Tony Dungy (and Tampa came close) but you have to have tactician coaches on staff as the coordinators.

Rhule has Snow and Brady.

If they're good enough at what they do, then it'll make what he does a lot easier.

Yep it's essentially the Coach O model at LSU. Hell even the same OC. Except at the end of the day I think Rhule coaches circles around EddyO

    • 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
