Matt Rhule officially owns Kliff Kingsbury

Two years ago, Matt Rhule apologized to Kliff Kingsbury for beating him in a Big 12 game that got the Texas Tech head coach fired from his alma mater. On Sunday, Rhule was even better prepared for the formations and distractions that come with a Kingsbury offense.

Rhule might have put another nail in his coffin at the pro level too.

The staff has flatt outcoached the last two opponents. It was obvious in those games that we had the dominate coaching and the other teams have duds. Its looking like we are extremely lucky in our coaching changes, even if it is still early.

The Kingsbury hire was absolutely baffling. The dude had just gotten fired from a fourth tier P5 college program where he amassed an overall losing record and he gets an NFL HC job? Dafuq? I could've seen him getting a QB coach job, but even an OC gig would've been a stretch IMO.

I get wanting to cater to your new young #1 overall pick hopeful franchise QB and honestly I commend that, but really? That's how you do it??? The dude went 16-21 in college with Patrick fuging Mahomes barely managing one winning season (7-6) out of three. If that's not a red flag, WTF would be?

There's such a difference in watching preparedness and adaptability in contrast to the stubborn rigidity and slow response time we've seen in the past.

I really like Ron (and some of our other historical coaches) for his good points fwiw, but while their strengths were indeed strong, their weaknesses were infuriating.

Kingsbury reminds me alot of a poor mans Mike Marts.  Mike Marts system worked until the O line got hurt and old and you didn't have a hall of fame QB to run it.  Knowing this, a smart person would change their system to accommodate the differences in players that he had.  Marts didn't.  He ran the system exactly the same until it got him fired.  

Kingsbury is doing the same thing.  Running a system that scored a lot of points ( but didn't win many games) in college the exact same way in the NFL.  Teams are starting to catch up to it and stop it.  If he adapts and changes the system can work the question is will he.

Im excited about this rebuild.. doesn't feel like we are too far off with this coaching staff. 

It sucks that we had a smart coach...

...He's killing it up in Buffalo...

 

Hella happy with Rhule so far though.

The whole game and all three phrases, Carolina out-coached out-played the Cardinals. The players where more aware too, during the fumble Cardinals acted like they didnt care. I know they have lost a couple SS, but the players on the field where not prepared. Very impressive that the panthers have new HC, DC, OC, QB and have been ready each game day.

    • 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
