How NFL executives view Rhule


Panthera onca

Recommended Posts

Interesting and somewhat flattering comments about Rhule:

Which coach has done the most with the least?

• Panthers coach Matt Rhule didn’t get a single Coach of the Year vote, probably because you don’t get that sort of award without a winning record. But he was mentioned by eight different personnel people in response to this question. “Rhule has his team in every game, they look sound, and seem to play good, complementary football,” said an AFC exec. This is a guy who was coaching at Baylor a year ago and had no offseason to implement his culture and schematic approach. Impressive.” An NFC exec added, “Competitive in every game with a young, rebuilding roster, and without their best player [Christian McCaffrey] for a good majority of the season.” And then there was this from another AFC personnel director: “Rhule’s right behind Brian [Flores] in terms of getting a very thin and young roster to compete at such a high level in Year 1, with no preseason. Regardless of record, no one expects an easy day at the office facing Matt and the Panthers. Future’s bright in Carolina.”

College coaches in the NFL do not have good track record--the difference? Rhule gets the most out of men, and the others were good recruiters that lost their edge when there was a draft and cap.  Pete Carroll has a lot in common with Rhule in that regard. I see more participation and motivation at the bottom of the roster.  He makes average players good, good players great.  I will take it.

We're competitive against every team, even the SB champion Chiefs, with one of the worst rosters in the NFL.  Next season we will cut a few players, KK for example, and we'll have cash for new good free agents and high draft picks replacing poop players. If Rhule can compete with this roster, then he can win with a much better one. The future is bright for the first time in a long time.

    • I've literally never one time said having a 200 yard rusher wasn't good. There is a monumental difference between saying that and saying "don't excuse Canales' continued poor play calling because our RB did something special" Having a 200 yard game because you had 160 yards on 6 of your carries is because of the RB, not the play calling.  Again, look at the literal title of this thread, it's about the play calling problems, not anything else. This is basically the same thing as everyone going all googoo gaga over Bryce's last few games last year and thinking he turned some corner.  No, he didn't, he had a handful of good to great plays but on the whole still wasn't very good, and people fell for that Mirage. Same thing, just about something else this time instead of Bryce.
    • My rankings would be 3s for both. Absent availability, Freddie would not doubt be in Tier 2. And, despite last season's slump, I still believe Kucci is on his way to being a high level starter in the NHL.
    • Yes. I went to those games instead of selling In 2018, it was hot  as hell and the Panthers had some ‘entertainment on the side of the stadium, like a street fair…I have never seen so many seriously obese people, men and women, in cowboy leggings and shirts   I swear, it was traumatic  I said to my friend with me ‘dear god, Cam. In the name of all that is holy, please win  this home game, if you never win another one, to shut these people up.   I stayed in a hotel sat and Sunday near stadium. Sweet Jesus  obnoxious …of course,when they lose,, there isn’t one sign of cowboys anything   worst fans ever,  they will be in Charlotte in force because even at the escalated price in Charlotte, , it was still cheaper than attending in Jerry ville
