Yikes, it’s even worse than I thought.  We aren’t winning another game this year so he’s actually worse than Schiano, and with more talent.  Very impressive.

We need to hire Harbaugh, that’s what I pray happens. We fire Rhule, and go get Harbaugh. He could turn us around in 2-3 years, otherwise it will be a moving 5 year window.

FWIW Jimmy Johnson came straight from college and went 8-24 in his first 2 seasons before winning a couple SBs... Granted, he also improved by 6 wins year 1 to year 2, Rhule has declined from year 1 to year 2.

This is what complete failure looks like.

It’s not even about the record for me. We look worse this year than last with any easier schedule this year. I normally agree about giving coaches 3 years as long as you’re seeing something after 2 even if the record doesn’t show that. We flat out suck and look lifeless. He needs to go now.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Here are the records of the under .500 coaches beyond their second season:

Butch Davis 16-16  4 Seasons (24-35) 
Nick Saban 15-17  2 seasons (returned to college)
Doug Marrone 15-17  7 seasons (38-60)
Kliff Kingsbury 13-18-1 3 seasons (23-23-1)
Steve Spurrier 12-20  2 seasons (returned to college)
Greg Schiano 11-21  2 seasons (returned to college)
Matt Rhule 10-21  2 seasons (?)
Bobby Petrino 3-10 less than 1 season

This suggests the odds are stacked against Matt Rhule being a success in the NFL.

And remember how well Buc's fans took to their great "Former College Coach"

Yeah, it’s just a dumb set of cherry picked stats. It predicts nothing.
