Huddle Reaction to Rhule’s Hiring

This will happen with any coach, fans want hope, and they're going to overlook a lot of issues for it.

Hindsight is 20/20, and I think the biggest take away here is that the NFL isn't college. Just look at Urban Meyer and Nick Saban. Regardless of how you feel about them as people, they couldn't translate college success to the NFL. And I think that very much applies to Rhule, and his assembly of all college coaches should have been a huge red flag.

Rhule clearly doesn't understand the difference between coaching kids, and professionals. It's a different ball game when you're no longer the father figure, or "head honcho" of the team, and have to treat people as equals.

There were some good threads about candidates leading up to Tepper picking rhule. I didn’t want him because I didn’t think the preacher rah rah poo would work on pro athletes but you always hope for the best because it sucks to suck. If everyone is being honest last year he coached extremely well. We went toe to toe with playoff teams and were in every game and games we had no business being in from lack of talent. That chiefs game was great coaching. I really thought he was gonna be special after that. Once Darnold unraveled so did the coaching. Which is of course all on them.

I'm not reading all that. What did I say?

You know nothing Jon Snow 

I found it.  Jon Snow stated “ I love Matt Rhule.  Half man, half god, half possible centaur.  I give you my word.  The Jon Snow stamp of approval.  He is the guy.  We did it everyone!”

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
