Matt Rhule Shuts Down College Rumors

[CarolinaLivin]

Quote

"I have one of the greatest jobs you can have. I left an unbelievable job at Baylor with a long-term contract and great people for a place to come here. I built two football programs and when I say I, I mean my staff, and I built two great football programs at the college level and I wanted to try and do it in the NFL. We went through a tough first year like I expected. We're in the middle of the second year and it's been back and forth and we're not quite where we want to be but you don't get to say that you like to build and then get upset that you didn't inherit something. We're building something. I hope every guy here knows that I'm in it with them for the long haul to get this thing done. It really affects me every day when I take the elevator and I see the two championship trophies. Like, these fans, these people, everybody wants to try to bring a Super Bowl trophy here and it's really hard to do. That's one of the reasons I came here, I wanted to be a part of that. I wanted to fulfill this mission that was started in 1995, 1996. We haven't done it yet but we're going to continue to grind until we get it."

[CRA]

Matt Rhule talking up Matt Rhule so much that Matt Rhule gonna fire Matt Rhule

[Harbingers]

Did Rhule just give himself the kiss of death?

[trueblade]

So Matt Rhule to Penn State confirmed?

[Sir Big Spurr]

I swear, this place is filled with the most miserable people I’ve ever seen. Rhule has been successful everywhere he’s ever been. He will be successful here too unless you crazies get your way.

I believe he will get it done.  I get disappointed just like everyone else but I've never tried to throw this team under the bus.  What he said his conference to shut down the rumors of him leaving, I believe.

7 winning seasons. It's always been this way. This isn't a perennial contender year in and year out and until that changes this is what you get it's no different for other franchises in similar circumstances.

I'm glad the majority of you Huddler's I care for or I'd tell you to just kiss my ass!  I've never seen so much down and out or wish washy fans.  I pulled for the 1 and 15 panthers and I'll stand for these guys now.

“Uh, uh, I said all this before the Penn State job came open!!! “
 

this all but confirms it. He is outta here.

Hold on let me get my Rhule translator working... here it goes:

”I have one of the worst jobs you can have. I left a terrible program at Baylor with a short term contract with bad people for a place to come here. I built two football programs, and when I say I that’s me, and I built two terrible football programs and didn’t really want to try it in the NFL. We went through a sh!tty first year not like I expected. We are in the middle of a second year thats back and forth and exactly where we want to be but you should say you like to build and then inherit something. We aren’t building anything. I hope every guy in here doesn’t think I’m in here for the long haul because I don’t want to do anything. I don’t really give a fug when I take the elevator every day and see those two championship trophies. Like these fans, these people, everybody but me wants to bring a Super Bowl trophy here, because it’s hard to do. That’s not one of the reasons I came here, I don’t want to be a part of that. I could really give fug about fulfilling this mission that was started in 1995,1996. We haven’t done it yet, and don’t hold your breath because it’s only going to happen on accident with a little effort as possible.”.

Sounds about normal .

I'm not worried about Rhule until the players give up on him.  Last week was not a good look, but I expect to see a reaction this week.  It's ok to lose, it's not ok to lose without a fight.
