When did you give up on Matt Rhule?

Plenty of teams have moved on from coaches after two years….

you could start with looking at the list of college HCs that for NFL jobs. 

And those teams kept sucking usually and don't get the right coach until years later.. While teams with patience and consistency usually give more then a year and half...

This is getting crazy.. Didn't everybody here understood this wasn't going to be pretty year 2.. This is still a rebuilding year right?? How many of you thought this was a finished team??

3 years.. Like most teams normally do... 

Again if we would have fired ROn in the middle of year 2.. How would that have worked out.. 2 coach of the year season not here..

Ron had a plan though. Regardless of what you think of it.   He drafted a uber talented QB.  It was clear he was in the process of building something AND was doing something the league really hadn’t seen on O.   There were definitely year 2 struggles but there at least was a clear plan.  Develop Newton.  Bring the RPO zone read to the NFL and make it work. 
 

Rhule just looks lost.

I’m not taking any side in this debate, but as someone who always defended Rivera and think he got too much criticism at times… I think you’re giving him way too much credit for that “plan.” Any HC who drafted Cam would have implemented a lot of zone read option looks.

Generally teams show patience with guys that give them a reason to show it.   So the Bucs should of stayed with Greg Schiano….just because.  

and in the world of just coaches and general, Jim Mora had a 5 year deal with Seattle.  They fired him rightfully after one season…. that worked out pretty well for Seattle.  

If someone clearly isn’t the guy? Yeah, you should just move on.

I swear this is turning into Revisionist history..

No body saw the plan when Nakmara gave up that TD to Atlanta and ppl wanted Ron to stay in Atlanta...

Nobody was talking about When Buffalo beat us on a 80 yards td drive by Ej Manuel...

If this is the new Standard I guess we got 8 years of hiring and firing coaches when they aren't good halfway thru their 2nd season..

well, the zone read wasn’t invented by Auburn.  Ron was the first to legitimize it.  I think he gets at least some credit for that.  And the gamble on Cam.  Which it was.  Cal was only viewed as the #1 player in the draft once Ron made it clear he likely was going to take that gamble IMO.

Another good example of a team with no patience and took them years to get the coaching hire thing right..

I mean the Cam plan isn’t revisionist history.    First thing he did was draft a talented QB and at least offensively….it was about building something that just hasn’t been seen.  Ron had that.  As I said earlier, think of it however you want.  Lot thought it was a poor plan by year two but it was a something to point to.  

which Rhule doesn’t have.

Seattle fired Jim Mora after one year (5 year deal) and a mini dynasty was born after that. 

So your argument is the Bucs should of shown more patience with Greg Schiano and company?  lol.  Why? He was a train wreck.  They kept moving on from bad people…..and now will be contending at least for back to back Super Bowl rings.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
