Strip Rhule of Roster control. Draft O-Line. Get #1 draft pick in 2023. Fire Rhule.

Honestly, if that is Teppers plan then I'm all for it. No point in making a new coach deal with this dumpster fire next year with no QB and no O-line. Make Rhule ride out this poo storm he created in pursuit of the #1 Overall Pick in 2023 and get your QB in Year 4 of the rebuild with a solid NFL worthy coach. Strip Rhule of roster control because he is a bafoon, but if you're Tepper and you think another year of Rhule gets you the #1 overall pick and a fresh start for a new coach with solid cap space its actually not terrible.

No. This very young team needs nfl coaching right away while we still have them under rookie contracts. 

Exactly.  Believing there is someway to finesse this situation with Rhule, take away his power/authority, in essence demote him, and not have Matt lose all his credibility within the organization is a pipe dream.

    If its going to be a rebuild situation, then keeping Rhule is the worst thing the team could do. Players aren’t stupid. How long are they going to play hard for a lame duck. Just tell the new HC that finding young players to build around is more important  than whether you win 2 or 5 games. Get the cap right for once. Maybe trade a piece or two for picks. But most importantly, you start changing the culture now.

I agreed with everything you said until I read the word culture. I’ve grown to hate that word because of Rhule and I never want to hear it again.

At least its a plan

I can understand that. Pick a different word but change is needed immediately. You don’t keep a horrible coach just to take a beating. As stbugs said above. This should have been done in 2020. This team would be in the playoffs by now, or close.

100%. These players aren’t stupid and are going to have a hard time listening to a lame duck coach. Plus he is going to ruin the development of some of these players. If we know he isn’t the guy then we are better off letting him go.

Plus I’m willing to bet Rhule’s head coaching responsibilities and control over the team are specified in the terms of his legally -signed contract.

In other words, there’s likely only ONE way to “strip” Rhule of any roster-building responsibilities and that is to FIRE him and eat the bitter, financial terms of the contract.

    • I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with. 
    • Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't 
    • I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
