He thought he could outsmart the NFL with advanced analytics and rah-rah speech former sub-par players, particularly QBs, to relevancy and signing players who are “versatile” but not good was an adequate approach to fixing the oline. Plus much more.

With that said, very, very, very few coaches in the NFL are winners without elite QBs. The only coaches who are at this moment (Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin) are established coaches in the league who had elite/HOF QB play. 

I imagine we would be singing a different tune about Rhule if he was afforded the luxury of having a Ferrari at QB and not a Honda.

Let me see here:

Ruhle’s people put out a feeler to Some people connected to PSU and it made it way to Klatt. 
 

Or, Ruhle told Klatt directly. Would be interesting to see if they know each other or have a relationship. I don’t have time to look. 

But this is good news for us. It definitely has legs. If Franklin leaves (he will) and PSU wants Ruhle I bet he quits. Best case scenario for all parties involved. Ruhle would be able to leave on his own terms and it would be done gracefully. I’m sure Tepper would give some presser about how “he had to let Ruhle go home, blah blah blah” and I’m sure Penn state has the $$$ to make whatever contract issues go away with the Panthers. 
 

If you are out on Ruhle and his staff of donkey brained college coaches like I am - this is fantastic news. We can probably start collecting names of guys who could be on the radar to replace him.

NFL has eaten up and spit out a helluva lot better college coaches than Ruhle. Spurrier, Saban, Bill O’Brien, etc the list goes on

As a Penn State alum and former player under Joe Paterno, I could see Rhule bolting for that job (if it opened up).  He could always say "it's the only job I would have left the NFL for."   

I'd like to see Rhule recover and succeed here.  But I think he may be in over his head.  He seems more like a rah-rah college guy.

Is he a rah rah guy? That’s what I can’t figure out. 

Dabo is my definition of rah rah college guy.  Dabo is like half preacher, half parent, half hype man.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
