Part of me refuses to believe he conned all these people into thinking he was something he’s not. Jimmy Johnson was RAVING about him. Tepper loves him. Every NFL analyst over the off-season thought the analytics approach was genius. 
 

Part of me just wants to believe that if he gets a QB who’s got “it” then he’ll succeed. But sooo much evidence to the contrary. This really may have been one of the greatest con jobs in league history.

Honestly, Rhule is a really good college coach.  It hasn't translated in the NFL.  It's just a different game, and he's not picked up on the differences.  The DBO sign, the fact he's raving about the athletic profiles of guys who suck (Cam Erving) as players, the game and time management decisions, etc.  

Look Rhule did some great work at Temple and Baylor, but I think that's where he needs to stay.

Eh, I don’t think Rhule ever did anything to earn the title of really good college coach either.   Maybe he could turn into one but that isn’t his resume. 

I still feel he is largely a college version of Ron/Fox.   Give him a poo team and his brand of football will get them to be respectable.   That’s what he did in college. Took dumpster teams and made them respectable.  But he wasn’t out their actually overachieving and doing anything overly impressive.  His teams never beat anyone of note.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
