There are reasons to make the argument not to fire Rhule right now though.   Just because you dont agree with them doesn't mean it's someone just being a contrarian. 

Not being a dick here, I honestly want to know what those arguments are. 

As of now, I would argue the following reasons to move on from him:

  • Regression seen from many promising players
  • Unceremonious departure from Cam last offseason after lying about wanting to coach him
  • Signing Teddy to a massive deal
  • Trading Teddy 1 year into said massive deal eating away at the cap space
  • Doing nothing to improve the offensive line in two offseasons.
  • Prioritizing versatility in OL instead of actual competency in one particular position.
  • Consistently fielding the worst Line in the league week in and week out. 
  • Drafting two offensive linemen and refusing to play them even though the starters are some of the worst lines ever assembled.
  • Trading for Sam Darnold by sending away a 2nd, 4th, and 6th
  • When Sam started sucking, bringing Cam back in the middle of the season to replace the replacement of the replacement for Cam.
  • Throwing players under the bus during press conferences while coddling Sam earlier in the season. 
  • Trading a 3rd for CJ Henderson who has shown absolutely nothing that warrants his original draft position in the first last season (Even though Rhule was reportedly in love with him as a prospect).
  • Having us go into the upcoming offseason with Sam Darnold as our only QB under contract and the worst offensive line in the league with only 1 pick in the top 100 picks of the draft.
  • Wasting millions of our Cap on QBs (Teddy and Sam) and bad extensions of his guys (Robby). 
  • Getting out coached week over week
  • Preaching patience about building a competitive team then making hyper aggressive moves that handicap our ability to build a competitive team in the future after the hyper aggressive moves turn out to be terrible. 

That's everything off the top of my head. I honestly don't know what arguments can be made to keep him that outweigh that list of egregious mistakes over the past two seasons.

I don't think there is a convincing argument to keep him, but the one I see most often is that his first year was mid pandemic and so this really is his first full offseason with the team. The team showed early promise (ignoring the terrible fade it's shown since lol), and it's star player on offense and first round rookie on D are both on IR. Tepper firmly believes it takes time to build a winner and Rhule hasn't had much time.

Honestly I don't buy it and hope he's fired. But yah, that's an argument folks make.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
