So what's the culture?

[frankw]

He set the tone for his tenure here by talking out the side of his neck with the starting qb and he's been doing it ever since. Not at all surprising we have zero team identity under him.

Metrics Culture.  

Matt Rhule:  Not gonna lie to you fellas, that was certainly a tough loss.  But now it's time to move on to next week.  Ok, everybody get out your calculators, graph paper and pencils.

i mean Rivera was 6-10 then 7-9 his first two seasons and he had a franchise QB AND he had a ton of NFL experience 

in no way am I saying Rhule is the answer but in regards to the question he simply hasn’t been here long enough at 1.5 years to really establish a culture

i think expectations were too high this year due to a good start, everyone wants to say give them a few years and then flip out in half the time lol

yea so far it doesn’t look good, but next year, after 3 drafts, will really be the tell all in my opinion

The standard is the standard…and rhules standard is below average across the board

yep. badly undermanned and outclassed but they bought into their team and their coaches and each other.

no one on this team looks like they're fighting for anything intangible. that's on the coaches. wasn't this supposed to be matt rhule's big selling point?

I think everyone knows not many of the people here this year will be here next year. And NO ONE believes in that awful QB.

Wish Tepper would have been able to convince Tomlin to come along from up north to coach us.

Analytics… but we suck at it.

I don't think pro players take him seriously.

No way for anyone to know that.

Whatever culture this franchise had, it left with Cam when Tepper fired him.

For all the poo Urban Meyer has gotten, Rhule right now is the epitome of what you fear with college coaches coming to the NFL. Nepotism with his old college program players and coaches. A message that doesn’t seem to be resonating with grown men. Looks out of his league game days against seasoned NFL coaches. Weak college coaching tree and assistants with lack of NFL experience getting exposed. I feel like the list could go on but that’s really enough. I can’t believe the contract this guy got.

It’s not really the fact we’re losing, it’s how we look while doing it. Everybody was right about Rivera and his shortcomings as well, and it’s pretty widely accepted that Cam and Luke dragged those coaches kicking and screaming to a super Bowl where when we needed the coaching and adjustments against a good defense with extra prep time they failed completely.
