You wake up in January 2022 and find out Rhule leaves to coach Penn State, how do you feel?

The bar is set incredibly low with our current state.

We're still 4-5.

Don't kid yourself, there's a LONG way down from here.

At the end of the day, the only thing different than last week when we won, is our Offensive Line got further degraded mid-game, and Darnold looked terrible against a HOF head coach who has played against Sam Darnold 7 times in 4 years. Are we really surprised he knew how to exploit him?

I'm not saying we're good, and I'm not saying we've got a lot to look forward to this year. We're looking rough, and with yet ANOTHER offensive line starter out for the year, I don't feel like we're at any risk of improving.

What I am saying is with the talent we have available, I don't think an regime in the league could be doing better. And a regime change is a hard reboot. I'd much rather see the coaching staff that's put together one of the fiercest defenses in the league in less than 2 years have a chance to address the offense this off-season, than start all over again.

I'm not in favor in getting rid of the current regime. The premise of the thread was Rhule leaving of his own volition for the Penn State job. If that were to happen Pederson would be high on my list of candidates.

I think the job has gotten worse and it nowhere near half finished lmao!

That wasn't the question.  Nowhere did it ask how would feel if he is fired in January 2022.  It was if he left of his own accord.  I don't think he will leave willingly.  He doesn't seem that way to me.  I stand by my original answer on the question that was asked.

    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
    • I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
    • Many teams looked at the drop-off as a reason not to select him in the first round.  Going into the 2024 season he was listed as a potential first round pick.  Morgan, IMO, based our pick on what he did in 2023 and expects him to play at the weight he played at Purdue. Morgan did this twice in this draft.  Scourton and Evans.  saw one stat on Evans that he had 58 ypg in one of his previous seasons.  Plus Notre Dame has a history of good TEs that can catch and block. Canales will 3 good TEs that all will see time on the field.
