I mean, he beat a #21 ranked ECU by a whopping 10 points after they turned the ball over 5 times and ECU outgained them 428 total yards to 135 total yards.

That's one of his two ranked wins.

The other ranked win (vs. #20 Navy) was a similar story. Overall yardage was close, but Navy turned it over 3 times to Temple's 0.

So in Rhule's two ranked wins, the turnover margin was +8. 😂

He was just that.

We have to remember, though, that the teams seeking coaches were all really, really bad teams. We were one of the least bad teams. 

That's a lot of organizations with terrible ownership groups, bad track records, decades of losing, sometimes even potential curses (looking at you Lions). If you think about it, a wise team would avoid the coaching candidate most wanted by the bunch, unless they were a proven NFL coach (and there were none in the race).

This may be how eternal bottom feeding teams in a parity league stay at the bottom. We pretty much went all in on the most popular candidate among the special ed students at the NFL school. And here's where we ended up.

I always saw it as a boom or bust pick. Especially when he hired solely college coaches.

We have seen far better college coaches with more success in harder conferences suck in the NFL.  I think he's just better dealing with kids then full adults in the NFL maybe.  Also think the dude has a silver tongue and sold himself well.  Hurney probably bought it hard.

What did he do in college to impress Tepper so much? It sure as poo isn't showing up in the NFL. Is it recruiting????

He is a programme builder. He turned around two absolute dumpster fires in short order by improving the culture and recruiting well. We've already seen what a good eye for talent he has in the last two Drafts. 

He's not an X's and O's guy - he leans on his co-ordinators to do that.

With that in mind, he needs to do the right thing and fire Joe Brady. The guy is terrible at his job and is dragging this team down.

One of the teams he was the HC for was Temple. Temple.

The other was Baylor post-scorched earth rape scandal. 

Yeah, I'm not holding his lack of ranked wins against him. Especially considering he left both jobs just as he got the teams rolling.

Keep believing, man. This ship is taking on water faster than the Titanic.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
