Quality of NFL coaching and how Rhule stacks up against Louis Riddick's criteria

I saw this on PTI this evening and I thought it might be interesting to see how others think Matt Rhule stacks up. If you don't want to watch the clip, here are the three areas they discussed a little:

Credibility: Can you be trusted? Example: when you say how something, is that how it's going to be in public and private?

Competency: Are you competent in how you setup your program, select players, and develop them?

Positive Impact: How you impact others in and outside football, in their daily lives, etc.

Riddick thinks Mike Tomlin is one of the best at fulfilling his criteria.

For me, I think Rhule fails at credibility. From the way he talked up running the ball a couple weeks ago(they didn't run much) to how he talks up players only to get rid of them, he has shown you cannot believe what he says.

Competency isn't looking too good either. Especially when it comes to the offensive side of things. His choices in QBs and linemen leave a lot to be desired.

Positive Impact? That one remains to be seen. He's impacting the lives of some of his former Temple and Baylor players well by giving them jobs, but haven't seen anything beyond that.

Here's the clip:

Matt Rhule and the GM have built the team up especially on defense.  Its been 2 years with an amazing amount of injuries.  Next season this team will be ready.  Truly believe this.

That'll depend on what they do about the Oline and QB. Their track record isn't good on that front so far. It'll also depend on if they actually call plays to suit their roster and not try to ram square pegs into round holes.

I am not ready to say Sam is terrible.  Personally I like him.  If this team is whole with all our weapons and a decent OL I like our chances.  I want to see us with a decent OL.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
