Coaching staff should be on the hot seat

[t96]

I've been as big a fan of Rhule as anyone here but frankly these losses have been downright embarrassing and unacceptable for a team with our talent. Constantly shooting ourselves in the foot throughout every single phase of the game is entirely on the coaching staff. If it were just 1 player here and there making mistakes ok, but it's been numerous players on O, D and STs, for multiple games now. We got lucky to hang on against a couple shitty teams when we made unacceptable 2nd half mistakes, and lost to 2 teams we easily should've beaten. Super Bowl caliber NFL head coaches don't have this crap happen consistently like this. Rivera-esque head coaches have this crap happen consistently. Tepper has been quoted saying it takes time to build a program, 5 years, blah blah blah. But fact of the matter is when you have disturbing trends like this, those won't go away in 2-3 years, those years will just be wasted. We saw it with Rivera. I'm sure Tepper is losing his patience too after seeing his team blow away good starts to the season in every year he's owned the team. Rhule and company badly need to turn it around ala Rivera in 2013 otherwise we need to let Fitterer pick his own coaching staff.

Rhule has not shown anything to prove he has the “It” required for above B level college play.

Talent? We've have a bottom 5 QB, you aren't going to get many wins until we get an above average QB

Ruhle looked as surprised as everyone else that they pulled out that TD to tie it up. He is not an NFL coach.

I wanted rhule to work out but he seems lost 

[Pimpdaddy]

...we are coached like a college team...its evident....we have the personnel to compete...but not not the leadership to put us in the possession to win.... and btw...that D is poser.... with all the talent we have.

We suck at both D and O.  Defense gave up 571 yards today.  Awful.

Agree. I like the guy and he seems like he is a solid man off the field but on the field he is in over his head. Maybe he will get the USC job. It won’t be as demanding as the NFL. 

[WarPanthers89]

It’s almost as if…..we need longer than 22 games to rebuild our team after we blew it up.

He has the head coaching gene, but I'm just a bit pessimistic it's an NFL caliber one.  He's really well suited for the college ranks.

Doesn't seem to pick the right staff.  He's all about the atmosphere and intangibles but not so much with the tangibles.  

[LinvilleGorge]

I honestly don't disagree. This is an offensive driven league and we've spent two years building on defense while trying to put a patchwork offense together dumpster diving for QBs and OL. That has yielded predictable results.

This isn't the 1980s anymore. You gotta be able to out up points to win week in and week out in today's NFL. I'm just not sure we get that.

[Blahb]

Yup
