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?

I really liked Ron and thought he was a good coach (and still do) but I can see the value of a SMART coach.

 

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

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.

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.
